Solidarity with Iran’s uprising, without foreign hijacking - Yanis Varoufakis Foreign interference doesn’t a legitimate uprising make. But nor does foreign interference make an uprising illegitimate

Our position is simple: no war, no sanctions, no externally imposed leaders, and full solidarity with Iranians organising for dignity and freedom on their own terms.

🇪🇺🌐 The future of social media may be decided in Europe A survey of European AT Protocol projects, including 4 mini case-studies

Many Europeans want to be free of American and Chinese Big Tech apps.

Open, decentralized protocols like ActivityPub (powering Mastodon) and AT Protocol (powering Bluesky) may be the key to a new sovereign social media infrastructure.

We're getting ready to launch - making sure we've got testing, observability and backups all in good order. It's taking a smidgen longer than we hoped but first invites will arrive on the first week of February and roll out throughout the month.

Thank you for your patience 🙏

“It's very easy to dismiss Trump as a toddler on LSD,” but as “the rest of the world sinks into a black hole of uncertainty, he is getting on with the business of enriching himself a ruling class of tech lords around him." — @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social on @democracynow.org
