Hello Finns, that book I mentioned at Åcon which is set in Åland is now on the Clarke Award shortlist. The Salt Oracle by Lorraine Wilson. Recommended.
@johnnyryan heavens. I thought at first this was a joke or sarcasm.
The idea of banning minors from using social media is at its heart an attempt to punish victims instead of going against the perpetrator. If minors are more easily victimized by the predatory practices of large tech corporations it's not their fault. The blame lies squarely on the corporations. They must stop using predatory practices. And that's doubly important because those practices hurt adults and minors alike.

The planet doesn’t negotiate. It sends signals: rising seas, wildfires, heatwaves.

The EU responds with commitments like:

🔸Water Resilience Strategy
🔹Chemical Regulation
🔸EU Climate Law (net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050)
🔹Restoring nature and repairing damaged ecosystems

Change is accelerating: solar and wind infrastructure is expanding, cities are being redesigned around nature.

This World Environment Day, the debate isn't if climate change is real, but how fast we can act.

Just once I’d like to see journalists and politicians show at least a grain of scepticism about the claims being made by “AI” vendors. Just once.

Just because anthropic styles their reports to look like scientific or academic papers doesn’t make them sound or credible.

Following the @EUCommission Tech Sovereignty and Open Source Strategy (and Mastodon’s direct mention within it!) announced this week…

Our team is proud to have signed and contributed to the drafting of the European Social Stack Open Declaration alongside our peers in the #SocialWeb and #Fediverse: @anewsocial, @eurosky.social, @newsmast, Save Social, and @swf.

We are a movement, and stronger together.

Read the declaration, add your signature, and share: https://european.social/

@gbargoud @benroyce @stux Well said. I would also add control.
@miiko niin noloa, että pyörryttää.
