We're back with a new piece on media, truth and... well, bullshit.

With this article, we inaugurate a new section within The Debugger, "The Hyperreal", where we use a bit of philosophy to try to make sense of these times we live in. Hope you enjoy, and let us know what you think!

Sometimes you just have to tidy things up in the backroom. And that's what we've been doing! We changed our host to @hey

🇪🇺 uses data centers located in Europe
🛡️ offers better privacy and data protection

More updates soon, and thanks to the Magic Pages team for the awesome support!

EDITORIAL | "If we had to be more specific and point to the moment in history in which all of this (algorithmic, discretionary manipulation, the poles of truth and falsity diluted into a total bullshit-entropy) became explicit, it would not be 2020, or 2025. That would be 2016. [...] It would be beautiful if, ten years later, 2026 becomes the year in which we finally move forward, and reclaim control over our politics - and minds. Let's work for it, together".

We want to thank you for sharing this time together. And, of course, more soon!

The European Commission green-lights the creation of the #DigitalCommons EDIC:

"The aim of this organisation, integrated by France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, is to enable EU member states to build open-source alternatives to much of the proprietary - mostly US - software used by companies and governments across the EU."

"We are not talking just about purchasing a service, but about handing highly sensitive data to companies linked with foreign intelligence and defence agencies, which are naturally not concerned about Europe's interests - when not in direct opposition to them."
