The European project has lifted millions out of poverty, and brought us closer together, it has balanced economic growth and citizens wellbeing and prosperity. We have the world's best life expectancy, outstanding education, beautiful cities and nature, 24 languages and 27 incredible counties and cultures to discover. There is much to celebrate, and we should.

"God! Why the fuck is everyone on the Fediverse so WEIRD?"

Shut up. It's a feature. It is the best feature.

The new administration has vowed to reduce wasteful government spending, so I made this guide to help people understand how that works.

"Who Broke the Internet?" is a new podcast from CBC Understood that I host and co-wrote - it's a four-part series that explains how the enshitternet came about, and, more importantly, what we can do about it. Episode one is out this week:

These boxes are not moving. A mind-bending optical illusion by Japanese artist Jagarikin.

The EU’s proposed Mini-ID Wallet could change how millions verify their age online-but who gets left out? Marginalized groups risk losing access to crucial services. Privacy and inclusion must be at the center of digital ID debates. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/age-verification-european-union-mini-id-wallet

Today, we spent 2 hours launching a new project with @esa to combine satellite datasets of ice in the Polar regions, with regional climate model outputs to better understand uncertainties on ice sheet mass budget + sea level rise.
We don't plan to use any US datasets for this and this evening I learn it's just as well as NSIDC + NOAA are moving more datasets to "basic". But how heartbreaking
As @ZLabe says, we need people to make a fuss about these cuts or they'll become permanent.
And still the ice will melt and the climate will warm...

ZLabe - This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

"As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported."

With both #Eurovision and the Papal conclave happening in May, it’s gonna be a big month for Europeans who love overly complex, confusing and dramatic ways to select a winner that are run by international bureaucracies, include smoke for dramatic effect and feature excessively extra outfits

This #AI travel guide to Europe has at least been a useful educational tool for my youngest.. though possibly not in the way intended.

Contrariamente a quanto si va affermando da almeno quattro anni, con i progressi tecnologici e l'impiego dei sistemi di IA nei diversi contesti - sociali, educativi, istituzionali e aziendali - i carichi di lavoro umano non diminuiranno ma aumenteranno, a tutti i livelli.
In questo scenario, i ruoli a più alto rischio sono quelli svolti dai lavoratori dei dati (data workers), persone perlopiù ignorate benché a fondamento dei processi di addestramento dei sistemi di IA, già oggi sfruttati, precari e mal pagati dalle società Business Process Outsourcing (BPOs) in quasi ogni parte del mondo (https://hal.science/hal-04662589v1/file/Report_EnCOre-final.pdf).
