Mastodawn

@quad9dns I'm not saying they should do it, but blocking all requests from Italy looks fairly simple compared to selective block to follow the dumb law. 😉

I just visited the website of the European Data Protection Supervisor @EDPS and noticed that they have a @Mastodon icon / link in their social media navigation bar in the upper right side of the screen.

This is simply AMAZING!!!

Thank you so much for being here on the #fediverse and for raising awareness about it with your website visitors ❤️

@EUCommission can you please be next? I argued for this in my latest article: https://blog.elenarossini.com/openness-transparency-and-reach-three-reasons-why-public-institutions-should-embrace-the-fediverse/

Spring's arrival in Kyōto is marked by the blooming of the sakura tree at Modori-bashi, the 'Resurrection Bridge'.

The tree's early flowering blossoms are some of the first to appear, and can gather quite the crowd🌸😅

Sehr schönes Video von Arte über #Digitalesouveränität, warum das wichtig ist und wie Europa vorankommen kann.

Gut zum weiter senden an diejenigen, die nicht verstehen, warum das alles wichtig ist.

@pluralistic @ami @shafik Sorry, but I'm just used to payment methods I see everyday, even on the smallest websites, for example Netherlands-based PayU, which is very popular in Poland (over 300 different payment methods worldwide, open source plugin for Wordpress). I did a quick check on pricing and they advertise starting option with 7,90 USD activation fee and 1,1% + 0,08 USD for each transaction. That's just one of many options, there are over 600 payment plugins for Wordpress.

@ami @shafik @pluralistic I was thinking about getting the ebooks, but only payment methods available are Google GPay and credit cards. Why can't I make purchase without paying US companies and sending personal data to US BigTech? I hope I find European bookstore selling the books.
