“In Europe, Mastercard and Visa account for 61% of card payments and nearly 100% of cross-border ones, according to data from the European Central Bank data from 2025.” We really need the digital euro www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...
I don't think this is being talked about enough. What a change in attitude, what a boost! It seems that change is finally coming in Europe 🇪🇺

Ok, Codex App is really really good. Now I understand all the hype.
Are we heading towards a capital-intensive rather than a labor intensive world? Will we have sustained economic growth in the future, but with less resilient labor markets due to AI?
I am having a really good experience using the new agents mode from VS Code. I really like the plan interactive mode
I just found the tax portal www.howmuch.tax. Increíble resource to gain a general understanding of tax implications across multiple countries
It's a very pleasant experience these days. Something is definitely changing. Migrating to Linux has never been easier.
Para los que vivimos un Bagdad azotado X los coches bombas, repleto de cadáveres despedazado y grupos de Al Qaeda secuestrando a extranjeros en este mismo barrio, esta imagen resulta tan simbólica como reconfortante. Oriente Próximo se merece algo más que guerras perpetuas.
“Rheinmetall 🇩🇪 alone will soon be able to produce 1.5 million 155mm artillery shells a year, more than the combined U.S. defense industry.” Things are getting better, there is hope. Great article by @cristinagallardo.bsky.social www.wsj.com/world/europe...
open source must win
and it will
OpenCode is simple and plainly the best experience out there
I am sorry by Google Genie Project could be impressive in the technical aspect but we are really far from being able to generate entertaining and meaningful experiences with AI. The human touch is missing both in art and in the design
Is it just me, or has the GPT 5.2 Codex model gotten faster in recent weeks?

I don't think it matters whether or not Alex Pretti had a gun www.theverge.com/policy/86745...
It’s been a while since I used Le Chat for the last time. What a surprise how fast and well the Mistral model responds!!
Fantastic speech!
In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.
“Hoy, la UE representa una Europa que no puede responder a los desafíos del mundo, ni a las graves repercusiones ni desgastes sociales del modelo neoliberal (agotado) que nutre su sistema”.

Hoy os quiero hablar sobre una de las estructuras más importantes que conservamos de la antigua Roma: la Curia iulia, el lugar de reunión del Senado romano durante todo el Imperio.
Hoy en el año 29 a. C. fue inaugurada, así que vamos a conmemorarlo con un #HiloRomano
This is bad news for any chance of getting back to a democracy.
Sub-national control of elections was the last major institutional bulwark against the Republicans from formulating a full authoritarian regime.
Former Spanish minister of economy, got a few millions € under the table to legislate in favour of incumbent energy companies. Subsidies to renewables were suspended. The cost was 1.5 BILLION € in international arbitration courts & a lost decade in renewables. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...
Trump today: "I'm surprised he [Jerome Powell] was appointed. I'm surprised frankly that Biden put him in."
Trump in November 2017: "It is my pleasure and my honour to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve."
We ran some initial estimates on what today’s EU budget proposal could mean.
The numbers aren’t official yet, so details might still change - but the overall picture looks a lot more positive than I expected.
Three quick takeaways:
This is good news. We've been banging the drum for a meaningful Competitiveness Fund to back joint investment and industrial policy. If the €400+ billion holds up, the EU will finally have something to work with.
Likewise, a near-doubling of Horizon would be very welcome for EU innovation policy.
It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now
This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: www.nytimes.com/inte...
UGH. If you can avoid watching this trailer do so.
But go so the movie. The story is spectacular.
And it looks AWESOME.
BUT DONT WATCH THE TRAILER. BE SURPRISED!!
What a depressing headline. No major turnaround plan, no amazing new product features or major business results. Just layoffs and the stock 🚀 🚀 🚀
