#EU #Europe

"Nowadays, #email is more important than phone numbers, yet there is no regulation in sight on moving addresses as one can move phone numbers between telephone providers."

TRUE & important. Refuse#gmail, listen to Migadu: https://www.migadu.com/blog/gmail/

also for all THESE reasons: https://stop.zona-m.net/tag/email

"new tasks [must be] created where labor has an advantage over #automation"

Problem is, WHY? Why would rational human beings want that, instead of what Dante Alighieri explained seven centuries ago?

America: I feel I'm boldly going where no country has gone before

Italy: hold my Berlusconization

This is THE creepiest, most depressing thing I've seen online this month. In general, not just about #dating or #marriage

Just for the record, this thingy I just read:

“My #twitter archive is hard to turn into a static website because I used the threading and polls features extensively. So it’s just sitting in my backups”

"No, Today's #AI isn't sentient"??? (*)

Of course it isn't but the REAL point is that even if #AI were sentient, we REALLY shouldn't give a f**k, for (at least) all these reasons:
