@smpl @kas @valberg @EDPS_director @EDPS_supervisor It would be very interesting to hear from EU Voice people if there are any similar ActivityPub/Mastodon initiatives on national level, perhaps for a national parliament or similar?

Very awesome 🕶️ @valberg wrote up a super blog post about using the new StreamingHttpResponse in #Django 4.2, combined with async psycopg3 and #postgresql's "LISTEN/NOTIFY" to have async real time events!This feels like the start of something big!https://valberg.dk/django-sse-postgresql-listen-notify.htmlCC: @carlton

@EU_Commission Why are there '0' projects in Denmark in Connected Europe?Sweden has 33 and Germany has 65.Denmark has severe issues with train connections to Germany, impacting train travels from Denmark/Sweden to all of Europe. There's a lack of tracks and electrification.I'm worried about Denmark's ability to write project proposals.Does anyone know an explanation why Denmark has no Connected Europe projects registered?

@EU_Commission to win some points in the Fediverse, you should stream the talk on your own ActivityPub video site, EU Video 💡 https://tube.network.europa.eu/

@tante Noticing that ChatGPT 4 solves the "Sally" challenge...I wonder if it solved it by language processing a certain website called "Asking 60+ LLMs a set of 20 questions" 🙃

@malteengeler Thank you 😍In the libertarian socialist tradition, there is a belief that: without freedom, there can be no equality; and without equality, there can be no freedom.I think I've seen different variations of this.For GDPR, I don't think that we need to be so afraid of embracing the individual's digital rights, but to find its counterpart in a similar saying:"without [x], there can be no individual digital rights; and without individual digital rights, there can be no [x]"

@carnage4life From this whistleblower, we also get an insight into practices introduced by Tesla that probably have a negative impact on #righttorepair . It can't be a big surprise that a company like Tesla wants customers to buy the latest model and doesn't have any business model around longevity and repair.Tesla already has monopoly on repairs, but despite this market position, it considers this activity a liability and mixes warranty-related risk management with all other forms of repair.

@aral another general trend is for media to cover this with the same fascination and enthusiasm they cover tech innovation in general.Excited journalist: "How did Israel do it?"Media pundit: "Very sophisticated/complex (...)"I still haven't seen the journalists ask an expert "is this legal/terror/a war crime" etc.But sure, indiscriminately make 3,000 people's personal devices explode... wonder what people would think if Russia did that in Europe. Not even Russia is this barbaric.

This could be you. Think about it. This is what our countries are supporting when they say "Israel has a right to defend itself": Killing innocent people who are seeking safety and treatment in a fucking hospital tent.»A 20-year-old Palestinian man who was confined to a hospital bed and connected to an IV drip burned to death after an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital courtyard where displaced people had been seeking shelter.«We need to protest until this stops.https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/10/15/palestinian-man-burned-alive-after-israeli-strike-on-hospital-courtyard

@aral @palestine ooooh wooow, what an eye opener, how blessed we are with such insightful people in our midst. All the time I thought it was Israel who had dropped all those bombs... but it's all a cover-up. I see. So it's actually an internal Arab conflict. I see.(okay on a more serious note, I think people who are so obviously denying a genocide can be reported to moderators?)

@aral it's a very good point. In the beginning, the protest had some meaning. But now, it just feels like a deliberate way to keep participating = complicity in giving the platform legitimacy and an audience.

@aral so much self-contradiction on that page:»Firefox is the most trusted alternative to privacy-invading browsers.«...surrounded by a bunch of illustrations of how ads can turn Firefox into a privacy-invaliding browser 🤪

@aral @nicolasvivant I love how they don't know how to configure a webserver (i.e. setup www.wsocial.eu to redirect properly)
