A word of caution about #DNS4EU.
Even if the service is operated in the #EU, and is sold to the public as progress for European "#sovereignty"; and even as you may celebrate its offering of "free protection" from #malware, #phishing and undesirable #advertising: Take a look at the 2022 tender document for the project.
Right from the start, it was clearly stated that the DNS entries will be censored:
»Lawful filtering: Filtering of URLs leading to illegal content based on legal requirements applicable in the EU or in national jurisdictions (e.g. based on court orders), in full compliance with EU rules.« (p. 15)
Now think of European countries that have very peculiar opinions about #LGBTQ+ rights, #copyright, etc.
What do you think will be enabled by a clause like »or in national jurisdictions (e.g. based on court orders)«?
It's not just an upcoming commercialization of the service that should worry you.
"I would like to remind you of an essential truth: the #food #sovereignty of #Indigenous peoples is intimately linked to the #health of our territories, the protection of ecosystems and the survival of the species that live there. For us, this sovereignty is based on an age-old balance with our #environment.”
This is a #counterDraft. It promotes our digital #sovereignty, networking and our #independence from commercial platforms. #banana #webring

US politicians and businesses need to stop talking to Canadians and start talking to the US government about tourism to the US.
They detained a 71 yr old US citizen for 8 hours, illegally.

UK sanctions Russian intelligence units involved in #cyberattacks
#GRU #spies running campaigns to #destabilize #Europe, undermine #Ukraine's #sovereignty, & threaten safety of #British citizens
“The #Kremlin should be in no doubt: we see what they are trying to do in the shadows and we won’t tolerate it. That’s why we’re taking decisive action with #sanctions against #Russian spies.”
It's out!

The management strategies discussed specifically emphasize efficient use of water and energy and do not recommend asinine (but popular) heat management strategies like installing misters and industrial fans in the chicken coop.

President Volodymyr #Zelensky has said #Ukraine will never recognise #Russia's #sovereignty over its conquered regions & that Kyiv retains the sovereign right to decide whether it wants to join #NATO.…
A 2nd source familiar w/Kremlin thinking said that #Putin considered Moscow's goals far more important than any potential economic losses from Western pressure, & he was not concerned by #Trump’s threats to impose #tariffs on #China & #India for buying Russian #oil.
Google’s insists data it holds is secure and it won’t create lock-in for the UK government, but do the answers match the ambition?

The French National Assembly is looking to move to #Microsoft-powered cloud #Bleu — a #France-based joint venture between #Orange and #Capgemini, set up with the Big Tech giant to offer its ubiquitous software suite in a “sovereign” fashion. Lawmakers seek to keep using Microsoft’s email, office and videoconferencing tools while “taking #sovereignty into account,” according to Politico.
Pleased to share Critical Signals, a 3 month series of events in downtown Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.
The series centers practical & visionary responses to an era of collapses, with a focus on kai (food) sovereignty, data and communications sovereignty, collective resilience, & adaptation strategies under a rapidly changing climate and biosphere.

When they inevitably reject the #USA & #Israeli offers in a #TwoStateSolution to graciously allow #Palestinians have a tiny #bantustan, like in #Apartheid #SouthAfrica, with no actual #sovereignty in exchange for them giving up all of their rights to their stolen #Property, #land, #country and even having equal #Rights as #Human beings!
Foreign ownership of Australian land, water, and housing keeps rising — but where’s the media scrutiny? Concerns are too often dismissed as “racist” to silence debate. It’s time we had real transparency in foreign investment. Who really benefits, and is our sovereignty being sold off?

ETHZ and EPFL announced the release of a Large Language Model (LLM) developed on public infrastructure: Trained on the “Alps” supercomputer at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in 8B and 70B parameters configurations, using open-source training data, respecting web crawling opt-outs during data acquisition, and natively fluent in over 1000 languages. Quoting: "The model will be fully open: source code and weights will be publicly available, and the training data will be transparent and reproducible".
I don't know how good it's going to be, but if true for me this is the real definition of "open-source" in AI (not the ridiculous, corporate-promiscuous definition by the Open Source Initiative).
Japan must push back against the U.S. financial chokehold.
Still funding deficits, still hosting troops, still trapped in the Treasury loop.
Dump the bonds. Invest in ASEAN. Reclaim sovereignty.
Sovereignty doesn’t come from speeches—it comes from capital reallocation.
ASEAN is the center of gravity now.
While Rubio plays security envoy, Japan funds U.S. deficits and hosts the empire on its own soil.
This isn’t about trade—it’s about capital sovereignty, monetary escape, and rerouting empire’s circuitry.
Watch ASEAN. Everything flows through here now.
“It is vital that in marking these events, we do so in a way that respects the backgrounds & cultures of everyone who share these neighborhoods,” Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said in a statement. “There is no place for hate or intimidation — only space for celebration that welcomes & celebrates not divides.”
