Belgium should not overstate legal and financial risks and should engage in fair burden‑sharing for Ukraine’s reconstruction. www.ft.com/content/3b4e...

With a potential U.S. pullback by 2027, Europe MUST prepare NOW to defend against Russia alone by seizing frozen Russian assets now to fund a decisive Ukrainian victory.

It's no longer impossible to imagine a future where, if Trump & Vance manage to stay in power, they do to Europe what they're doing to Venezuela: "saving Europe from itself". By force.

I'm now working on adding a frontend for my synology PDS with a public and private zone, where the user can manage its data (inspect, download, move, destroy).
My very first (small) contribution to the ATmosphere. (I feel all giddy inside)
Have a Synology NAS at home? Why not run your own PDS and own your data when you are on the ATmosphere / Bluesky ? It's not hard, here is how!

The API pricing wars just ended. Paris won. 🇫🇷

Mistral just dropped Devstral 2. The specs are aggressive: • 123B Dense Model (No MoE dilution) • 72.2% SWE-bench (Snapshots Claude Sonnet) • $0.40 per 1M tokens (7x cheaper than US rivals)

More on US plan for RU/UA

The documents detail plans for U.S. financial firms and other businesses to tap roughly $200 billion of frozen Russian assets for projects in Ukraine—including a massive new data center to be powered by a nuclear plant currently occupied by Russian troops

Reports that a major Ukrainian drone strike is unfolding right now, hitting targets in Moscow and across western Russia. If true, this is one of the most significant attacks to reach the Russian capital since the war began.

yup, the F-35 was NEVER a good idea. Especially when you take a look at the competition.
Europe / Le Danemark a acheté à plusieurs reprises le chasseur américain F-35. (Mais peut-être n'aurions-nous pas dû le faire, estime Jacob Kaarsbo, ancien analyste en chef du Service de renseignement de la défense danoise)
Ekspert ikke i tvivl efter udmeldinger fra USA og FE: 'Vi må forberede os'
Danmark har gentagne gange købt det amerikansk producerede jægerfly F-35. Men det skulle vi måske ikke have gjort, siger tidligere chefanalytiker i FE, Jacob Kaarsbo.

The EC hit X with a 120M fine for DSA transparency violations. But as the European politicians cannot get themselves to leave the platform, it shows the underlying issues with how the politicians (dont) understand how power works on social platforms.

Great source of truth on the Russian frozen assets blocked by Belgium frozen-assets.eu

History is watching. Belgium can lead Europe to justice and security, or be remembered as the country that returned money to its aggressor. Your call @deweverbart.bsky.social

Ooh poor Belgian CEOs, with a remuneration of only €3,092,587 in 2024...
Salaries of CEOs at publicly listed companies in Belgium are a lot lower than those of CEOs in the Netherlands, Germany and France.

Tip: Always check - have I learned something? How does it make me feel? News is often not pleasant, but it should inform you, not confuse and frustrate with no tangible evidence of knowledge received.

From above, it looks like a giant spiderweb, but it's actually the tangled web of fiber-optic lines used by drones. Along the Kupyansk axis, both sides are deploying massive amounts of fiber to guide first-person-view drones, especially in areas where GPS is jammed.

The question for Belgium is quite simple: what size are we on? Ukraine or Russia. In both case, there is a cost.

So don't make it about the cost, make it about the values for which we stand for: opportunism and everyone its own, or a free, democratic & united Europe against violent autocracies ?

Good move around Orban. But we still need @deweverbart.bsky.social to come to his senses and put Belgium - (Flanders!) on the right side of history.

Let's use the frozen Russian assets to give Ukraine some breathing space!

Brussels activated legal tool allowing indefinite freezing of RU cen bank assets w/o unanimous EU vote—circumventing any veto. EU proposes €210B for Ukraine (2026–27), incl €140B from frozen RU funds at Euroclear and €25B from other EU accounts: €115B for defense, €95B for G7 loan & budget needs.

I'm so excited I need to share this: me and a friend are building an atproto PDS here in Brussels, BE. We are testing it on a Synology NAS behind a dynamic IP Address. The UI is based on pds-dash by @witchcraft.systems (thank god they made it in @svelte.dev ). You know what gets me so excited?
