As of today, the use of AI becomes more transparent in the EU. Here’s how EU law makes sure AI works for you, in full openness ↓

Food and exercise can treat depression as well as a psychologist, our study found. And it’s cheaper

Title: A message to all Eurosky members and friends

We need your help - can you support Eurosky with a monthly or one-off donation?

We are building Eurosky on the principle that it is possible to build better social tech that also prioritize people’s interests over corporate greed. Since the beginning of the year we’ve taken big steps towards our mission of building independent infrastructure and experience for social media in Europe. 

In April we launched a fundraiser to help accelerate our roadmap, in particular:

- Building a European microblogging app backend, to support European apps
- Growing our PDS capacity
- Supporting up to 100k users

Since then, we have raised nearly €15,000 Euros that have directly contributed to:

- Upgrading our PDS servers, which are now used by more than 22,000 people, up from around 10,000 when we launched the fundraiser - with plenty of room to grow.
- Deploying a high availability Eurosky relay in Europe serving Atmosphere apps, so apps can access Atmosphere data easily from a European source.
- Deploying a PLC mirror in Europe serving Atmosphere apps, to ensure that people’s identities also have a European server.
- Kicked off building the microblogging backend (“app view”) with a deployment planned for the end of July.
- Developed and launched mu, our microblogging application with wildly cool features, hitting 100k active users in its first month, to rave reviews.

Whilst all of this costs more than the 15k we raised, it would not have been possible without it.

Concrete is everywhere – and producing it generates significant emissions. Erik Schlangen at TU Delft is reinventing concrete from the ground up, replacing conventional cement with greener alternatives and aggregates with recycled materials. Watch 👇 #WorldEnvironmentDay

I forbindelse debatten om aldersgrenser, deler jeg rapporten vår om hvorfor aldersverifisering er en dårlig idé, og at det finnes en rekke andre grep man heller bør ta for å beskytte barn og unge på nett. www.forbrukerradet.no/rapporter/ko...

Looking for a European mobile client for Bluesky? Check out Skywalker @skywalker.thereforeiam.eu for Android and Skeets @skeetsapp.com for iOS. And both have extra features compared to the Bluesky apps 🤩🤩
Screenshot from Eurosky Portal showing two cards, one for the Skywalker app - indicating it's a Bluesky client for Android and one for the Skeets app - indicating it's a Bluesky client for iOS. Both cards have "Made in EU" badges.

@tuxedocomputers.bsky.social, any possibility you will be following in Framework’s footsteps on modularity and become the European equivalent?

Don't want LinkedIN to automatically train its AI on your data, switch it off here: www.linkedin.com/mypreference... Not sure about the rest of the world, but if you don't switch it off it will start collecting in November for the Netherlands/ Dutch members.
