💧 No water. No life.
Pollution, flooding, and water scarcity threaten our waters—we must do better.
🔵 Our latest water reports highlight the progress made over the past six years, while also identifying areas for further action.
🔵 These reports map the way for EU countries to protect our freshwater and marine environments —and safeguard communities from floods.
🔵 The findings will help shape the upcoming EU Water Resilience Strategy.

Today, the European Commission is publishing its latest reports on the state of water in the European Union.European Commission - European Commission

Hoy me llega la noticia de que el Consejo de Seguridad Nacional ha aprobado el procedimiento de elaboración de la estrategia contra la desinformación. Es un problema real, pero no me convence nada la forma en que pueda abordarlo un estado burgués. Habrá que estar atento.

Since nobody’s covering this stuff, I’ll do it.
This is from Hakeem Jeffries, Leader of the House Democratic Caucus.
My own U.S. House representative has been all over the district, and has called an emergency town hall for Thursday evening.
If you’re not seeing this in the same media that normalized and generally wanted Trump by all appearances, don’t be shocked.
Democrats are doing things, limited by the power voters didn’t bother to give them. That’s just the reality of the situation.

Greenland’s parliament the Inatsisartut today passed a new law making it illegal for foreign entities to donate to political parties or politicians in Greenland. The law was passed with 22 to 0 votes.
That’s how much the people of Greenland want a hostile takeover from Trump and his cronies.
And in case you are wondering: X is NOT a popular medium in Greenland, so Musk will not be able to tamper with the public narrative

With TWO HOURS TO GO left on Spritely's supporter drive I am gonna give a LIVE THREAD about why you should support @spritely and why I am SO PROUD OF THE WORK WE ARE DOING HERE! spritely.institute/donate/
Let's gooooooo!!!! 🧵
All software should be able to be social, peer-to-peer, secure over the network. This becomes clearer when you see that it's hard to convince people to use Libreoffice once Google Docs exists.
Secure collaboration is important.
It shouldn't be that writing secure, peer-to-peer applications is an exceptional thing.
Secure, peer-to-peer tech should be the DEFAULT THING you get when you write software, not the domain of experts.
Too ambitious? No! This requires some rethinking about how we write software!
If you remember when Django and Rails hit the scene, they were *revolutionary*. Not only did they make writing Web 2.0 applications *easy*, they made it so that you *learned how to think* like a Web 2.0 developer.
Spritely's work is akin to that, but for secure, collaborative, decentralized tech!
There's a lot more I could say, there's a lot more I have said in other places. I believe Spritely is the future. I know it's a lot to take in. ActivityPub was a lot to take in, once upon a time.
If you want to dive in, it's all there. All out there to read. We've got tons of information these days. Yes, I know it's a lot to absorb.
If you don't want to dive in, it's a leap of faith. Let me help you make it.
The future becomes the present when it hits peoples' hands. They start to assume of course, it was an inevitability.
Once Mastodon became a success, the popular response to ActivityPub switched from "I don't believe that could work" to "ActivityPub is obvious, anyone could have done it".
HN reply-guys always gonna armchair philosophize, act like they know everything once it's in front of their faces.
Well let me tell YOU what I think.
ActivityPub has been a big success. The fediverse as it exists has been a big success. I'm proud of that work.
But personally, I think retrospectively, it'll be a footnote in history compared to what we're doing now.
Yes, I really do believe the jump is that large.
The world is becoming far, far more dangerous of a place to be.
If human rights are going to survive, we're going to need better ways to not only communicate, but to collaborate. To do. To act.
We need stronger foundations than we have today. Stronger by a *long shot*.
I worry about the future of activism if it needs to happen on ATProto, on the fediverse, as they exist today.
*Especially* on ATProto, a system whose primary design point is "publicly index all content"; hardly safe for the current political environment. But the fediverse isn't much better.
But this also misses the point.
"Social", as perceived in "social networks", misses a lot of what "social" means to me. A lot of what I thought and assumed "social" meant when we were standardizing ActivityPub, anyway.
A society doesn't just send postcards to each other. It *does things* together.
All this research, all the work the Spritely Institute, it may seem like it's been low level, a bunch of computer science nerdery, the kinda stuff you'd expect out of a bunch of SICP-hugging catgirls.
Well, okay, it is. But it's not ONLY that.
And it's that way for a purpose.
If I need to thirst-post with copies of SICP for the sake of the Spritely fundraiser to appeal to a certain type to donate I WILL DO IT
"Christine have you no sense of shame"
I do not here is me holding a copy of Paradigms of Aritificial Intelligence Programming please please donate to the Spritely Institute spritely.institute/donate/
"Christine this is really too much"
I appeal to you one final time, one last attempt to thirstpost to a Very Particular Kind of Person into donating to the Spritely Institute
Here is me holding an ORIGINAL COPY of Guy L. Steele's dissertation, RABBIT: A Compiler for SCHEME

I used to agree with you on this, but I changed my mind.
Peer-to-peer basically requires that your users have reliable access to power and reliable internet connectivity. Most people use mobile devices, which don't satisfy any of these criteria.
Even if everybody was using Graphene OS and wasn't subject to Apple's and Google's draconian power saving policies, you can't escape the physical realities here.
I think this is the real reason why people don't use torrents any more. You can't do that on mobile, and it's not because of the APp Stores.
Somewhat-centralized / federated solutions, operated by large non-profits, seem like a much more reasonable model, Signal and Wikimedia being shining examples here.
