The feeling when you discover creative minds of long gone eras being strikingly "modern". Like this architectural design by Boullai from 1784.

Overall I remain *mostly* disinterested in the fediverse-vs-atmosphere debates, because I am not interested in squabbles over the present but building towards a future. It's hard not to make a bit of side commentary though, I guess.
Behind every politician doing something stupid and/or ignorant is an incredibly wealthy and powerful person who knows exactly what they are doing and gets to use their bought-and-paid-for politician as cover.
Was greed always so naked and dehumanizing or did we just not pay sufficient attention?

Open source is the new normal. Its the social contract that rebinds the digital plane to the interests of society at large.

If its not dominant yet in "social" its because the techbros have engineered one of the most consequential political coups of recent times. But times are a changing.

AI steelt niet alleen, maar presenteert het daarna ook nog eens als zelf bedacht, zonder naar het origineel te verwijzen, waardoor de bezoeker niet meer naar Wikipedia gaat en daar door gaat zoeken om dat het geheel keurig aan elkaar is gelinkt, met bronnen. Al deze pageviews, die ook nog eens nieuwe vrijwilligers binnenbrengen, worden gemist. En die bronnen drogen ook op. Want wie gaat er nu nog een website beginnen als dat door AI geen bezoekers meer oplevert?

It seems we finally have fully developed, inter-protocol wars between atproto and activitypub fans *and* intra-protocol strife within each😵‍💫

Offers enough data points for a fractal theory of alternative social network development patterns😜

Anyway, easy to be philosophical when not at the coalface☺️

Some important stats:

📶 96.8% of households now have basic 5G coverage
🌐 46.7% of EU enterprises use cloud computing
🤖 20% of EU companies currently use AI
🖱️ +60% of Europeans have at least basic digital skills

We have laid the groundwork for a vibrant digital future.

The foundations of the EU’s digital transformation are in place, however the scale, speed and coordination of implementation need to go further.

2026 State of the Digital Decade report shows progress but urges closing structural gaps to reach 2030 goals

The European Commission published the fourth State of the Digital Decade report, showing that Europe has made progress on its 2030 digital transformation targets, such as secure and sustainable digital infrastructures and the digitalisation of public services – but the challenge now is delivering results at scale, speed and consistency.

Shaping Europe’s digital future

EVERY billionaire is a policy failure.

A trillionaire is a COLOSSAL failure.

Pass it on.
