Open letter: ~100 EU companies urge EU lawmakers to take “radical action” to shrink the reliance on foreign infrastructure by fostering a so-called “Euro stack”.
  • Governments are not big monolithic things, at federal, state and local levels there can be hundreds or thousands of users/endpoints to support. Nobody does that in house, even Fortune 500 companies outsource service and support (that’s how companies like RedHat, Xen, etc got so big when they were still making FOSS software). From another angle it’s about risk reduction, since if something comes up you have a vendor to blame.

  • Time to go back
  • The premise is that humanity has had 10,000+ years to experiment with different ways of living on all corners of the Earth, so it’s ridiculous to say that the modern system that we’ve evolved with division of labor and accumulated wealth is the only possible way (or the inevitable way) - which was kinda the premise of Sapiens. And then they back it up with a ton of modern archaeological evidence. It’s a little dry and admittedly academic, but really compelling once you dig into it.

  • Time to go back
  • I know this is mostly a joke, but for anyone interested in this sort of thing I highly recommend you check out The Dawn of Everything, which goes into exhaustive detail about how in some places cities existed before agriculture, and in others agriculture existed for a long while without cities. (And by “check out” I mean prepare to devote long nights to reading with a million Wikipedia tabs open)

  • What instrumental song, when listening to it, causes your mind to try to fill it with lyrics the most?
  • Little Martha by The Allman Brothers does the weirdest thing in my brain. It’s just a fantastic instrumental acoustic guitar piece, but my brain desperately tries to “find” words in the melody. It’s almost like it’s a foreign language and I’m trying to suss out the meaning somehow. I’ve never run into another song that does that.

  • Mozilla Sees Surge in Firefox Users Thanks to EU's Digital Markets Act
  • For those too lazy to read the (very brief) article:

    Since the introduction of browser choice screens [required by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) ] in 2024, Firefox's daily active users on iOS have grown by 99% in Germany and 111% in France, showing that when users are given a real choice, many move away from default browsers.

    That said it's still only a few percent of the overall browser market.
