If you ever thought that this pressure from the USA on the EU is anything but the Trump admin paying the dues to the big tech...
Will the deregulation of our digital rights by the EU happen with the support of the far right? 🤨

That's what Meta seems to be aiming for, with 3 lobby meetings with far-right MEPs this week alone.

VDL's deregulation agenda isn't just opening the door to Big Tech, it's inviting the far right in.

Jolla just announced their new phone. Looks ugly IMO, and I wonder will it be accompanied by the updates on the Sailfish OS which is showing age.

The opening of Poland's prime minister, Donald Tusk, in reference to the 28 point paper is quite something.

This is trolling on the most professional level politics can give. It is even questionable whether the US side will be understanding this subtlety. Hilarious!

Just published a new article about the new Python 3.14 module `compression`.

This module offers a neat way to access the 5 compression modules we have in Python:

👉 bz2
👉 gzip
👉 lzma
👉 zlib

The first four were already available as standalone modules...
