For the next few days we'll be on the road to #Canada 🇨🇦, our new home. Bear with me for not replying w/ more than a "like" & for not live-posting the #TrumpTrial.
I reckon Copilot+ PC is going to be a product that an entire class of professional just simply can't purchase or use for work. Thinking of #attorneys, #accountants, etc.
Surely the "features" will be able to be disabled, but can anyone reasonably trust that?
There's very little discussion around locally hosted LLMs working on private data - but such exist. Sure, they're not as capable as the ones running in huge datacenters, but they're still very useful and everything is kept private just as regular document are kept on internal networks.
Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.
We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.
Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.
This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!
So instead of a general EU instance at "social.network.europa.eu" there's now a single instance for the European Commission only at "ec.social-network.europa.eu"?
I'm happy that you're still here, but wow that seems like a waste of resources. Running the instance for the EC only is no more work than running one at one level higher for all of the EU institutions :(
REMEMBER: I can’t/won’t reply while live-posting. Please use NFL (Not For Laffy) so I can skip your reply, but NO hashtag on that. Thx.

Tyler McBrien::
Necheles rises to renew Trump's objection to Daniels testifying about any "sexual details," which she says has no relevance and is prejudicial.
By details, Merchan asks, more than just "we had sex"? Yes, Necheles says.
... and that's why everybody needs to remember that tactical nuclear weapons have absolutely nothing in common with the big old strategic weapons of old ;) ("Tsar Bomba" etc)
Besides being "nuclear" and thus people imagine the end of the world rather than what's in effect not much different from the big convential weapons already in use.
BridgyFed for the Fediverse should post as threads if the post exceeds 300 characters. Now it just truncates 500 char posts and people have no idea about the rest of it without any link or context. I know it’s early, but this would be great. @snarfed.org@snarfed.org
@Loukas "especially considering the limited resources at our disposal. Unfortunately, despite our efforts to find a new home for EU Voice and EU Video in other EUIs, we have been unable to secure new ownership to maintain the servers"
Seems to be nothing more than a funding issue though.
@Loukas Most often something like this is a not a political decision but a department not getting funds. I've asked a friend who works for one of the groups in the parliament, let's see if he can dig something out.
Problemet med den tyska lösningen är att den förutsätter att Ryssland plötsligt nöjer sig med det de lyckats roffa åt sig hittills. Det är rätt osannolikt, som jag ser det. Det skulle i så fall förutsätta ett ryskt militärt nederlag, och då vore det ändå bättre att besegra Ryssland fullständigt utan om och men. Att belöna en aggression med territoriella eftergifter öppnar för en massa problem inom en snar framtid, och då är det inte bara Ryssland jag tänker på. https://www.di.se/ledare/en-tysk-losning-for-ukraina/
Vad för betydelse menar du att det har? Strategiska kärnvapen fyller inget syfte i det här kriget, och användande av taktiska kärnvapen (små laddningar, inte värre än de termobariska vapen de redan använt) kommer innebära att Nato går in och slår ut Rysslands krigsindustri med konventionella vapen.
Domedagsscenarios med kärnvapen var en rysk påverkansoperation under kalla kriget. Idag vet vi bättre.
Happened to see this just now. Tell me why this is wrong.
Conventional wisdom holds that a negotiated end to the Ukraine war is neither possible nor desirable. This belief is false.
It is also extremely dangerous for Ukraine’s future. The war is not trending toward a stable stalemate, but toward Ukraine’s eventual collapse.
Ukraine’s best hope lies in a negotiated settlement that protects its security and promotes broader stability in Europe and the world.
Turbines use wind from passing traffic to generate electricity
Such a device can also be installed in places that are unsuitable for traditional turbines. The first such wind turbines were installed in Istanbul: they generate electricity using air turbulence created by traffic.
The ENLIL vertical turbine was developed by Istanbul Technical University and technology firm Devecitech #AureFreePress
@hailey Well, it actually isn't "for free" if the fix would include code to be copyrightable. That would then place a future burden on the open source project.
Also: Investigating whether the fix is copyrightable or not takes time (= cost)
Thus, the only possible solution an open source project has is to ask contributors to sign a CLA.
