Faaark. I hate it when you're right.

Agree with this 100 times. There's no difficult conversation here unless you've got unprocessed issues yourself. Kids are also not blind or stupid. They'll read more into your awkwardness than the fact that people have different preferences and identities.

Personally I'd prefer that governments controlled the infrastructure and more effectively regulated private actors - rather than government-sponsored corporate replicating the role. Public accountability and control is key. I'm agnostic on delivery modes.

I think this is great and wholeheartedly support the intent. But implementation is the challenge. I don't want to swap one set of unaccountable corporates for another.

3) assuming good governance and transparent and privacy centric technology - how secure will it be? The technology is one thing, but the deployment and maintenance is another. Who manages that and how are they accountable?

2) who owns and controls the underlying technology. Seems based on NextCloud and Collabora. All passionate open source players - but the question still remains, how do we ensure that this spirit remains?

Office EU touts new European online productivity suite : Euro productivity suite appears to be hosted Nextcloud and Collabora Online

Questions that I have:
1) who owns this? How is it governed and financed?
The Register says it's a Dutch registered company but not much transparency beyond that.

Sick of Microsoft and Google? This new European office suite is a private, open-source alternative Built on open-source software, this European cloud office suite aims to keep your data out of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.

Love this. I really hope it's a success. Basing on NextCloud is a good approach. Hopefully the underlying technologies are mature enough for this to really take off and continuing to improve www.zdnet.com/article/euro...

Macron is sending French military assistance to Lebanon! "will provide them with armored transport vehicles, as well as operational and logistical support."

"At this moment of great danger, I call on the Israeli Prime Minister not to expand the war to Lebanon"

Thanks @benjullien.bsky.social for spotting the unintentional typo that totally changed the meaning 🤣

UK Politics: Why "Hannah The Plumber" and the Green Party Offer Hope - EA WorldView "Hannah the Plumber" and Green Party triumph in key UK by-election: "There is appetite for 'positive politics' that I have not seen in years."

A great take on Hannah's recent win. Gives me hope for a better way of running the country

🤦 dammit

My hope is that the AI hype wave sparks a blossoming of human consciousness and a revitalised appreciation of what it means to be a human in society - that we remember what matters.

Same goes for AI in music and the arts

You see? How hard was that?

Urgh. Just urgh.

And it only highlights how far adrift Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems are from people's lives. Politics isn't a game to be played between elites, it's about real people's lives and jobs.

I don't see this as a flash on the pan or a protest vote - I see this as a smart, progressive party responding to the issues that people care about in a way that they can relate to.

This and then some. It's clear that the Green party are actually thinking about what people really want, rather than just following polls and campaign tactics.

US and Israeli strikes on Iran are hugely dangerous: irresponsible, provocative and illegal. Starmer must call out these so-called ‘allies’ - who are acting as rogue states - and use all UK levers to uphold international law.

This. Over and over again. We judge China by our own corrupt morals. They do not play the same short sighted crude game that we do. Urgh. Work it out peeps. 🤦

How Trump’s War Could Destabilize the Global Energy Market It starts — but doesn’t end — with the Strait of Hormuz.

The energy market is on edge. Iran was exporting almost its entire daily oil production in the last few weeks, IRGC-linked news outlets say the Strait of Hormuz is "effectively closed," Saudi says the Eastern Province was attakced, the US hit Iranian naval assets heatmap.news/energy/trump...

“This is the second time in less than a year that diplomacy was betrayed by the Americans.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei slammed the US for once again launching an attack against his country while negotiating with it.

This is amazing.
