- It also makes it quite clear that the real and imminent danger of AI is not that a future superhuman AI is going to enslave humanity. Instead, generative AI is the best propaganda tool ever invented.
- From the ICCL statement: “The tech industry has sought to hide its vast data breach behind sham consent popups. Tech companies turned the GDPR into a daily nuisance rather than a shield for people."
- EU ruling: tracking-based advertising by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, X, across Europe has no legal basis www.iccl.ie/digital-data...
- And that is what a configuration (here, for the Haskell Language Server) looks like.
- A great call by @sophieintveld.bsky.social!
- The "Pfizergate" ruling is a landmark case for transparency. But further steps are needed to anchor transparency and access to information in EU politics. Time for an independent EU Transparency and Information Authority with enforcement powers. Read my blog 👇 open.substack.com/pub/sophiein...
- In other words, a good day for the rule of law in the EU and a strong signal to the rest of the world about where the EU stands.
- This is precisely the reason why we need proper enforcement of the DMA!
- European software vendor Nextcloud has accused Google of deliberately crippling its Android Files application, which it says has more than 800,000 users. www.theregister.com/2025/05/13/n...
- This time around —in contrast to Haskell for Mac— we’ll use already installed toolchains, but with helpful discovery support.
- It is worth the reposting!
- Maybe somebody should explain Moscow how ultimatums work.
- Anybody surprised?
- If you are thinking, algorithmic ad-driven social media are a danger to democracy, wait until we get large scale AI-driven social media.
- With Grok, misinformation is now hardwired into X.
- Famous last words facing a messy code base: “Let’s just rewrite it from scratch. It’ll be so much better!”
- Ik vond het ook superleuk dat er ook sprekers van @d66nl.bsky.social en @vvdonline.bsky.social op het podium stonden. Vooral ook tegen de russische agressie en het rechtsextremistische geluid moeten we als partijen die de democratie en de rechtsstaat steunen, intensiever samenwerken!
- Great speeches by @reiniervanlanschot.volteuropa.org, @teunvolt.bsky.social and others, together with an Ukrainian group of singers at the Europe Day event in Utrecht with special emphasis on support for Ukraine — organised by @henkvandonselaar.bsky.social for @voltnederland.org

- Same here
- Exactly why I so loathe this term, like @billt.bsky.social #AI
- From the article: ‘"We still have not seen a single valid security report done with AI help," Stenberg wrote.’ That is a rather devastating assessment.
- The video of my @bobkonf.bsky.social talk on “Functional data structures in Swift” and Swift’s copy-on-write (CoW) structures is now available: media.ccc.de/v/bob11-2025...
- What I find so refreshing about Bert Hubert’s articles on the topic is that, in contrast to a lot of other people, he really knows what he is talking about, and that shows.
- Everyone agrees something needs to be done about our total dependence on US clouds. But what? And who should do it? . Here I present a coherent actionable strategy that is concrete enough to disagree with. This reads well with the latest Euro-Stack letter also: berthub.eu/articles/pos...
- Well, Carney wore a suit, but did he say thank you for Trump ensuring that Carney wins the election?
