Der Internationale Strafgerichtshof (IStGH) trennt sich von Microsoft und setzt künftig auf die OpenDesk-Software des deutschen Zentrums für Digitale Souveränität (Zendis). Grund sind US-Sanktionen und Repressalien gegen Mitarbeiter wie Chefankläger Karim Khan, deren Microsoft-Konten gesperrt wurden. Ziel ist mehr digitale Unabhängigkeit von US-Konzernen. Diesem Beispiel sollten sich viele Unternehmen und Institutionen anschließen! 👇

All Eyes on Sudan
Sudan is facing the world’s largest humanitarian and displacement crisis and yet, the world looks away.
More than 12 million people have been displaced since war broke out in April 2023 between the army of Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the RSF militia led by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo. Over 150,000 people have been killed.
Now, the city of #Al-Fasher has fallen to the #RSF. Civilians are being targeted, hospitals looted, and entire neighbourhoods destroyed. Half of those displaced are children.
But Sudan’s collapse is not an isolated tragedy; it's the result of decades of colonial destabilisation, exploitation, and the continous influence of other states such as #Egypt, #Russia, #China, The United Arab Emirates and #SaudiArabia. The latter directly receiving weaponry from European states such as #UK, #France and #Germany, as well as the #USA.
The same system that is selling weapons in already war-torn areas, is then sending more weapons to build a border regime to prevent people fleeing from this violence.
We need to stop this madness of endless militarisation. Politics for people, not for profit, and human rights for all.
All eyes on Sudan.

I submitted an abstract to #IPEC2026 #ECCEAsia on lowering the transistor switching losses in a standard TO247 package.
We have already maxed out silicon performance and we almost maxed out SiC on a semiconductor level. But we still can influence their performance by changing how we package and drive them.
We propose to add a a bit of positive feedback to the gate so that the transistor switches faster. Jet fighters use similar trick to be more manoeuvrable.

I just spent ~20 minutes trying to find information on how to do something in a Golang library on my client computer, before I decided it was worth pulling up @kagihq on my personal computer to look it up instead.
Immediately found the answer I needed to get me moving.
We don’t need “vibe coding”, we need search engines that actually work.
This is an excellent thread.
Whenever I see news headlines about another cafe owner complaining that "nobody wants to work", I'm mentally rewriting it with "nobody wants to be exploited for unlivable wages by some sleazy bugger".
The idea that everybody should be "productive", or even be "grateful" for whatever shitty employment is offered to them is a construct designed to maximise the supply of cheap labour. Or as I like to remind people, no corporation will ever demonstrate the same loyalty to you that they demand from you.
But even this frames everything in terms of paid employment. Which is the first error. We all wish to have purpose and meaning in our lives, and for some that means getting a job but for others it can mean something far more rewarding.

'#Agentic #robots are coming!', zou zomaar de titel kunnen zijn van dit nieuwsitem dat sidekick Bert Hagendoorn ter tafel bracht. "Google DeepMind zet nu namelijk in op robots die van elkaar kunnen leren..."
Wow, ontstaat er dan een soort gedeeld geheugen?
"Precies. Wat de ene leert, kan de andere op doorgaan. Denk aan #plannen, #redeneren en #handelen. Samen kunnen ze daardoor complexe taken fiksen."
Dat is wel next level... Hoe werkt dat?
"Zeker. Je hebt 'de #denker', die plant de taken: wat eerst en wat daarna, en die zoekt misschien op het web nog extra informatie op. En je hebt 'de #doener', die overziet de omgeving en die gaat dan alles bedenken qua oppakken en verplaatsen en vermijden ook als het gaat om bijvoorbeeld taken in en om het huis. En de kennis, die reist dus mee."
En hebben deze robots nog leuke koosnaampjes van Google meegekregen?
"Nou, ze heten #Gemini #Robotics 1.5 en 1.5 ER"

David Zinn: “One nice thing about being drawn in a schoolyard is that you always make some friends”
David Zinn’s art is not only visually striking, but it also brings playfulness to the streets.
One of the unique aspects of his art is the way he works with communities to create art that is meaningful and relevant to the area. David Zinn’s art is not only a visual treat, but also a mental one.One way David Zinn works with communities is by creating temporary art installations that are specific to the location. Some would say it’s the ultimate street art, art that takes location into account.
David Zinn often interacts with the community while creating his art. He encourages people to stop and talk to him while he’s working, and he’s always happy to answer questions and explain his process.
