May get even more impossible if #America keeps trying to become #Iran 2.0 especially in terms of #digital rights: Having a secure smartphone gets in the way since thought control is hard, how can we "fight crime" if people are able to think and communicate so freely?!

Also difficult to purchase one in #Europe at least my side of it. Not because of laws thankfully, but because devices like #Librem #Purism #PinePhone aren't readily sold in stores here even online which sucks horribly.


This is big. No #embargoes. No #APCs.

"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.

In a move that could send shockwaves through commercial scholarly #publishing, the positions are due to be adopted by the Council of the EU member state governments later this month."

A public consultation by the European Commission has been launched regarding the European Disability Card which seeks to gather the opinion of persons with disabilities, their organizations and other interested stakeholders regarding this new instrument in the making. For as long as I can remember, travelling around the EU as a person with a disability has been a riddle of which benefits and discounts work where and whether a particular institution honours them or not even if I'm not a local. The European Disability Card could change that. You can feel the survey in using the form below, available in all of the 24 EU languages. ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/E… ##Europe #EuropeanUnion #Disability #EU






If you would like to be up-=to-date with happenings in Europe in regards to blind and partially sighted people, the European Blind Union has just launched a new podcast today called EBU In Action.
It is a bit of shameless promo as yours truely is one of the hosts so I hope you don't mind me and we look forward to the feedback.
In our pilot, we go over the current campaigns and initiatives the EBU is involved in, we find out about the expectations and fears of blind people regarding Connected and Autonomous Vehicles and we finish off with our correspondent's section where we go to Italy to check what is new for blind people there.
If you have suggestions of topics that should be brought up in future episodes, feel free to share.

Comparing my oldest website bihlink.com with Yahoo and Google on archive .org back in 2003...

Yes, i was creating web directory for #Bosnia and other #Balkan countries similar to #Yahoo back then, but #Google started DIRTY game soon after with PR (Page Rank) system and started punishing web directories as they call it "Link Farming" back then. Soon after i realized they want to remove biggest competitors out of game.

Not that i could compete with any of these two, but if that dirty game didn't start, today BiH Link would be really really BIG thing, at list in #Europe.

I was shocked back then that Google crawled only few pages from my domain which had about 200.000 pages back tehn and it was growing to over 800.000 web pages. But i was loosing so much traffic as Google were growing their influence and years after i was so angry and REMOVED whole database, even deleted backups 😥 SAD...

F. U. Google! 🖕
I believe that #decentralization and #Fediverse is future, one way or another, because we are getting fed up with Google playing BIG BROTHER and dictating whole interent, playing US with ever changing algorithms and killing real value of interent...
