⚖️ In light of the upcoming US #SupremeCourt ruling in #Trump v. Slaughter, we took a detailed look at the implications for US-EU #datatransfers. In short: It's time for EU companies to prepare for more trouble to come.

Behind the rhetoric of “competitiveness,” the Digital Omnibus embeds deregulatory changes that weaken GDPR, narrow ePrivacy, fragment protections, and tilt the ecosystem further toward powerful actors, writes Itxaso Domínguez de Olazábal.

The Omnibus leaves gaps that undermine a rights-centred approach and expand room for dominant actors, writes Itxaso Domínguez de Olazábal.

Just noting: we made this game browser playable on purpose. It's not in an app store. It's not meant to be in an app store. Some of us still believe in the browser.
I had a blast last night playing this. Got so hooked up, I forgot to come back here and mention it until now.
What a lovely and well done game built on the web.

So how do we feel about using BlueSky to spitball early ideas?
It feels like we're ready for a post-blockchain movement, so I've been prototyping this: https://www.unchaind.org.
If you're also ready for the coin-free world, would love your feedback/edits! (Repo is open source on GitHub as well)

Is there any "branding" yet around what LLMs have done to web application development?
I'm less interested in the "AI changes everything!" rhetoric, and more in the "cacheing has moved from x to y; delegated auth is harder because z; scaling and load balancing needs new patterns a, b and c".
