Social Media is dead! Interest media is here? Sad and disturbing. Time to bring back real conversations again and get out of these filter bubbles!
While Europe actively builds digital sovereignty through local infrastructure and regulation, the UK risks staying reliant on US Big Tech. Real autonomy requires owning your stack, not depending on external cloud providers. www.theregister.com/columnists/2...
Digital sovereignty is real in Europe. The UK? Not so much
Trump's unpredictability is pushing governments and businesses toward open source while Britain remains glued to US tech

What's up with nuclear? Does anyone know how it's going now, in these terrible times of of serial heat waves? Already during first heat wave in June EDF had to reduce production due to high temp in French rivers. Increasing energy prices in Europe. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
Europe's heatwave curbs French nuclear plants
A heatwave sweeping western Europe reduced France's nuclear output on Wednesday as high temperatures across the country reduced access to water needed to cool reactors.

Heat pumps have a bad reputation in some places. I cannot understand why. I've had mine for 10 years soon. Best home investment ever, reduced energy cost, remote control via app and no maintenance so far.

Is climate policy really going backwards, or does it just feel that way? I spent days verifying the answer: 45 rollbacks in one year, across 15 jurisdictions. Six of them during Europe's record heatwave. It is worse than it feels. Here is the list app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/c374dd...

Social media isn't only where information spreads. I think it's also where trust is built or lost.
This is super interesting and gives interesting insights outside the bubble.

Cancel culture on climate projects is upsetting but targeting political opponents as part of it needs an uproar and clear statement in midterms.

"Trump's America can't even win a rigged game." by Cory Doctorow is mind-boggling to me. Trump actions has crushed a world riged in favor of US, possibly to the benefit of a handful superrich individuals. This opens for the rest of us to agree on something new. pluralistic.net/2026/07/22/t...

Western Europe had its hottest June on record.🔥 Intense heatwaves broke temperature records, with peaks up to 9°C above average in France and Germany, according to Copernicus data. Only Cyprus and Malta had normal temperatures. Climate change is here and we are feeling its effects
1/ Today I visited the beautiful Christinae Church (German Church) in Gothenburg. ⛪🇸🇪 I’ve noticed there are quite a few Germans here on W Social, so I thought I’d share one of the most interesting pieces of Swedish-German history.
Well put on the ideas behind this platform.
Flavio Baldes@flaviobaldes.wsocial.eu · 2w agoA thousand years ago, my friend: “Look at these two websites. It’s the beginning of something.” That’s how I discovered LinkedIn and Facebook. Back then, fa virgin land. Fascinating, until it became social pollution. I hope W brings people together instead of driving them apart.
Time for my first post on this platform with a plot I made over a year ago 📊 There is still a big debate going on on an EU- and State-level over the perception that Europe is dropping behind the US in productivity. Fun fact: When you adjust for purchasing power and hours worked, we are not that bad:
Jon Stewart slams Trump's anti-DEI "meritocracy" and praises short king Jimothy the Raccoon
I think the data is pretty clear: the EU needs to enact #EUfirst policies and become a significant counterweight to the US and China.
Great that there is competition but EU models needs to be up there on capabilities as well.
