Hi Fediverse!👋 We're Volt Europa, a pan-European political party building a federal, green, and progressive Europe. 🇪🇺

We believe in digital sovereignty, transparency, and putting people before platforms. Sound familiar? That's precisely why we're here.

We're not just looking for another channel to broadcast on. We chose this space because it reflects what we stand for: open, decentralised, and community-driven. We want to be part of this, not just present on it.

I just googled something and Google put its AI summary top, which incorrectly used a Facebook post - misinterpreting it. The Facebook post itself was an AI summary of a user post - which AI had also misinterpreted. The result is the Google answer was just total bollocks.

Educated people contribute more.
Housed people are more stable.

...in a healthy society there are no "undeserving".
There are just people."

Alerte linguistique

Dans ma famille on utilise l'expression "partir en briscavolée" (qui signifie partir dans la précipitation) que je n'ai jamais entendue ailleurs, je ne sais pas comment ça s'écrit car on ne l'emploie qu'à l'oral et je n'en trouve aucune trace sur internet alors au cas où, si par chez vous aussi on dit ça, ça pourrait être belge ou angevin au vu des origines de la grand-mère, je serais curieuse de savoir si c'est juste un truc qu'on a inventé de toute pièce ou pas.

"Switzerland decision sets a precedent,
this is the most powerful element here.

When a neutral country renowned for financial security and data protection concludes that Palantir poses unacceptable sovereignty risks,
that assessment becomes ammunition for every European procurement decision.

(....)

Getting ghosted by Swiss bureaucrats just probably had to sting."

Europe DONE With US Tech - Palantir CRASHES After Swiss Army Says NO

If you're in England, your #NHS medical data is due to be shared with #PeterThiel's military surveillance firm #Palantir.

Fyi, Palantir have already been using their access to US medical records to target people for #ICE, and #ReformUK have published their plans for ICE UK...

In case you — like me — object to this in the strongest of terms, the @goodlawproject have put together this handy tool to check your local NHS Trust's position, and to say no to this.

Say no to Palantir in the NHS

NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir - fight back
