What if I were to tell you that Trump could knock any (or all) of over 20 million¹ European web sites off the Web tomorrow by picking up the phone to one US organisation: Let’s Encrypt.
We desperately need an independent, not-for-profit ACME provider in the EU paid for by our taxes.
¹ This is just based on one firm’s analytics (https://trends.builtwith.com/websitelist/LetsEncrypt/EUROPE). Others put LE use at 50-60% of all web sites.

AI-generated answers don’t appear to be going anywhere, which has raised concerns about how chatbots would handle foreign propaganda ahead of the U.S. midterm elections in November. @npr conducted an experiment with web monitor NewsGuard to see how they’d perform. The results? Pretty good marks:

Mankind (mostly) or machines (mostly) ?
Can you imagine a better #society with less-tech / less machines than today ?
(still having with plenty of tech & machines but not only the primary focus if we agree most in life are doing similar tech related things).
Becoming less-tech & having #people make friends using basic #tech? (only #Jitsi & 2+ people needed).
Seems simple. Make friends with ALL sectors with good people in them. Not just tech.

JUSTICE: HOW TO KILL META!
========================
The legal math on media is broken. The punitive measures are not effective deterrents.
If you look at the numbers, Meta does harmful things, apologizes, pays a pittance, and still comes out ahead financially.
Zuckerberg sold out his users data to Cambridge Analytica, influencing the US election. Then he appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy - "Oops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut multibillion dollar deals and sell out Facebook users. Honest mistake. I promise not to do it again ( unless the price is right! )"
Because of the math, he still came out ahead.
I left Meta's platforms a long time ago.
People who are not savvy, are locked into the Facebook walled garden, because of the Network Effect. ( "I can't leave Facebook. All my friends are on Facebook!" )
Having liberated ourselves, it is our duty to liberate others, who are still trapped, to give them their right to privacy.
Here's a plan of action:
1) Place ads on Facebook, explaining the benefits of #Mastodon
( https://joinmastodon.org/ )
1.1) Freedom from Meta's censorship and algorithms.
1.2) A community owned, open social media platform.
2) When a user clicks, guide them through exporting their data from Facebook, and deleting their Facebook account.
3) Give them an optional questionnaire, asking about their interests, and match them with the right Mastodon instance.
4) If they skip the optional questionnaire, pick a random Mastodon instance for them.
5) Give them an option to enter into a Facebook migration registry.
6) Help them set up a Mastodon account and import their data.
7) If they opted into the migrant registry, reconnect them with their former Facebook connections, who also joined the registry. Like a reunion in Heaven with your loved ones. ☺️

One US company – Digital Identity, Inc. – controls 271 TLDs (~42% of all TLDs).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_Digital
This is fine.
It’s not.
And that’s why the Small Web will be using Web Numbers.
https://ar.al/2025/06/25/web-numbers/
And you should seriously be thinking about this and at least have a contingency plan given what happened this week with the fascist US government designating Autistici/Inventati – an anti-fascist Italian .org providing internet support to activists – as terrorists, sanctioning them, and knocking them off the Internet.
If you’re serious about sovereignty, @EUCommission, you should be at DEFCON 1. And if your sovereignty plans don’t include decentralisation across the board, we are well and truly fucked.
This doesn’t just concern domains. If you’re an anti-fascist or anti-genocide org or group, the fascist US government can designate you a terrorist group and sanction you thereby cutting you off from banking, hosting, and almost all other infrastructure providers with zero due process in the EU.
PS. In case you’re wondering, this is the full list of TLDs controlled by Digital Identity, Inc.:

@renardboy For example #Mastodon = 100% great #software
but
Bringing people more socially up themselves = near-0
Mastodon as ' a bit better crowd than twitter who moved from there') is limited.
It's about #Pioneering people / principles UP!
Even forums (#phpBB) or #ICQ #AIM ~20 years again did better if people were driving / motivating it.
Maybe #Tech and #Money (#banks) go together well so people settled for diving banks pockets and power deeper and deeper.
@renardboy Without #Devs ACTIVELY choosing people it's over.
Too late / people are too untrained to socialise - so to try #P2P with everyone during crisis is very limited esp. after the emergency is over.
Doesn't last long (we had 100 crisis per month already / money is the ongoing crisis too!).
Maybe #Tech and #Money (#banks / access to people) go together well.

"A tool the masses everywhere need access to ASAP"

‚Die Pläne der Bundesregierung, die Befugnisse für Sicherheitsbehörden bei der digitalen Fahndung auszuweiten, gefährden Grundrechte. Zu diesem Schluss kommen mehrere zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen in ihrer gemeinsamen Stellungnahme zu den Gesetzentwürfen aus dem Bundesjustiz- und Bundesinnenministerium.
„Wir betonen, dass eine grundrechtskonforme Ausgestaltung dieser Befugnisse auch durch Nachbesserungen im Verfahrensrecht nicht erreichbar wäre“, heißt es in der Stellungnahme: „Die genannten Mängel sind keine bloßen Ausgestaltungsfehler, sondern symptomatisch für das strukturelle Defizit des gesamten Regelungsvorhabens.“.…‘

"What truly binds together this movement is a desire for freedom from, if not total control over, nation-states; a belief in the superiority, either innate or engineered, of a superior class of elite coders and engineers; and a complete rejection of any conception of social responsibility or equality under the law."

Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, it has been studied how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning.

Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered AI adoption in a difference-in-differences design. AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of AI users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.

Let me know if you hear of any good opportunities!
Why shouldn't you use chatbot tools instead of search engines?
