During the #IGF2024 Main Session on the evolution of the IGF, Vint Cerf mentioned that we need the IGF as a permanent element of the ecosystem. That's an idea I've heard a lot these days.

The first #IGF2024 main session of this morning is about how the IGF's Dynamic Coalitions support the digital development in the context of the #GDC. They are a great example of how community members collaborate throughout the year, and take advantage of it to contribute to diverse processes.

There's an interesting difference between the two UN speeches we're hearing at the #IGF2024 Opening Session. While UN SecGen promoted the GDC, USG UNDESA is rallying for the IGF, including the NRIs.

Heard at the airport: "We're sorry, but your flight will be delayed because the crew is stuck in traffic. Apologies, but we don't have control over traffic." Sure. That would be valid if they didn't ask us to arrive 3 hours before the departure time.

Some ideas before the #IGF2024 starts. TL;DR: when new challenges arise, new processes are not necessarily the right solution. We must think about how current mechanisms can be leveraged. It's more about "connecting the dots" than "reinventing the wheel". www.internetsociety.org/blog/2024/12...

To save water, we were taught as kids not to brush our teeth while leaving the tap running. To keep saving water, should we be teaching not to ask LLMs silly questions that could be solved by searching on the web?

Yesterday, I rewatched at #TIFF Almodovar's Pain and Glory. What a great impression. boxd.it/7SHfb7
A ★★★★½ review of Pain and Glory (2019)
I loved the use of storytelling as a healing tool. That's an aspect I didn't consider the first time I watched this, but now it makes perfect sense. Also, I keep loving the ending.
