Container, cloud, blockchain, intelligenza artificiale: è sempre la solita vecchia storia, afferma il veterano Red Hatter

Il vero avversario della sovranità digitale è il marketing "IT aziendale", secondo un ingegnere di Red Hat che si è scagliato in modo divertente contro le ripetute ondate di sciocchezze che il ciclo di hype del settore emette.

And, of course, each of our partners must recognize their strength, their ability to support #Ukraine and protect lives. Missiles for air defense are needed every single day. Protection against russian ballistic attacks is needed every single day.

The #Epstein files reveal how the dark agents of chaos - #Bannon, #Trump Thiel, Epstein - were working together to undermine democracy and our sense of reality itself.

You really did connect the dots. It all fits together. Stay safe my friend. You may have exposed a timeline they didn't believe could be exposed.❤

After each prisoner exchange, as Ukraine's defenders return home, streets are lined with locals holding Ukrainian flags and signs, welcoming the heroes back.

In the latest exchange, one young child stood out - undeterred by the freezing cold, she came to greet the returning defenders and offer her quiet thanks.

La consigliera di FdI sotto il livello della decenza. In una classe di terza elementare forse, si sarebbe potuto ascoltare.

Remember that the Internet is for you to connect *with* the people you
want, using the application layer protocols you collectively want. It
is not so you can talk at everyone, or cheaply harvest strangers
attention, or be a media small-holder.

Then the Enshittification trend looks more like the receding tidal
wave of the Eternal September tsunami, with massive hulks of stranded
ocean liners dead on their side, surrounded by the detritus of
tourists, first-world colonial ruins, and failed marketing franchises.

You can still build the communities you want, free of Gmail, or MSoft,
or CloudFlare, or any of the other monstrosities. Thinking you need
those services is like cargo-cultists building fake air control towers
and runways -- only this times its web scale databases, CDNs, and K8s
clusters in the cloud.

The Wikipedia wars

✍️ EUvsDisinfo

As Wikipedia approaches its 25th anniversary in 2026, its open editing model faces a growing challenge: coordinated edit wars. In these campaigns, kremlin-aligned actors try to rewrite history, launder disinformation, and lock distorted narratives into one of the world’s most trusted reference platforms.
