Digital sovereignty needs more than platform regulation: Initiatives such as #NGICommons, the #F5Alliance and #EuroStack call for structural investments in #OpenSource, #Infrastructure, #Interoperability and digital commons – for independence, democracy & innovation in Europe.

netzpolitik.org · Digitale Souveränität und EuroStack: Wie kann Europa digital unabhängiger werden?Cloud-Dienste und Plattformen kommen aus den USA, Mikrochips aus Taiwan, Seltene Erden aus China. Die Digitalisierung hat zu massiven Abhängigkeiten geführt, von denen Europa sich spätestens seit Donald Trumps Amtsantritt lösen will. Welche Konzepte gibt es dafür?

Populist/authoritarian régimes which manage to survive at least short-medium term, do so by looking after lower-middle class men - providing them with jobs, cars, highways, cheap fuel (oligarchs' palaces, prisons and highways don't build themselves, but there are plenty willing to hold their nose and do this work if the wages are good).

This could be the achilles heel of the USA - which seems to be only destroying even its own basic #infrastructure (including safety critical organisations)

“Our first home buyer #mortgage #deductibility scheme is going to finally give first home buyers the firepower they need to purchase a #home.

We’re going to, through our housing #infrastructure program, deliver more homes for those first home #buyers.

So if you think the status quo is OK, that’s really what #Labor is offering.

The #Coalition (#LNP / #Liberal) believes that home #ownership is something that every generation of #Australians deserve, and that’s precisely what we’ll deliver, if we’re given the great honour of being elected” — #MichaelSukkar

The Opposition minister for #housing, who in his previous stint in government as Minister but nothing to show for it.

Commissioner Tzitzikostas today hosted an implementation dialogue in #Brussels on improving #EU high-speed rail connectivity. Efficient cross-border rail links are vital for EU cohesion, competitiveness, and decarbonising #transport, yet fragmentation of the TEN-T network remains. The meeting gathered #European industry leaders, social partners, and stakeholders to discuss timely #infrastructure implementation, better passenger services, and removing ticketing barriers. The exchange will feed into the Commission’s upcoming high-speed rail action plan. This is the first of Commissioner Tzitzikostas’s biannual dialogues, as tasked by President von der Leyen, to better align EU initiatives with on-the-ground realities. He stated: “High-speed rail is key to a connected, competitive, and climate-friendly Europe.” Participant list and conclusions will be published on the dialogue’s webpage.

These are not the same

After sharing Ed Zitron's latest piece called "OpenAI Is A Systemic Risk To The Tech Industry" I got a few responses arguing in a similar way: People agree that "AI" and especially "generative AI" is a massive bubble that does not really make much sense - if you imply rational decision making. Training the models, building the data centers, inference, inflated wages, potential licence costs and the costs of damages ... economically the whole sector doesn't make too much sense (Sequioa […]

"3.) The advantage of a #decentralised approach based on open software and open protocols is that the development can take place step-by-step, modular and in different locations at the same time.

While public law companies are starting to open their #medialibraries, other media providers such as #universities can also begin to build a decentralised #open network #infrastructure: netzpolitik.org/2023/aufruf-ho 4/4"

netzpolitik.org · Aufruf: Hochschulen aller Länder ins Fediverse!Während viel über ein mögliches Engagement öffentlich-rechtlicher Medien im Fediverse diskutiert wird, sind die Potenziale von Fediverse-Instanzen von Hochschulen bislang kaum Thema. Dabei wäre es höchste Zeit, dass sich gerade Hochschulen ins Fediverse begeben. Ein Aufruf.

Network Rail has won the Spotlight Net Zero Pioneer Award for its innovative ‘hedgehog’ sleeper design. Made from 90% recycled materials, the KLP® Hybrid Polymer "Hedgehog" Track Sleeper lasts twice as long as concrete sleepers, reduces carbon emissions, and can be replaced mechanically for quicker installation. The sleepers, which resemble hedgehogs beneath the rails, are expected to roll out in early 2026. They contain 90% less carbon than wooden sleepers and 78% less than concrete ones, potentially reducing carbon emissions by 24.5 million kg annually if used to replace concrete sleepers. This #innovation aligns with Network Rail's goal of reducing carbon emissions in #railway #infrastructure. The design has been praised for its sustainability and potential to transform #rail #transport.

China's Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is set to open this year, becoming the world's tallest bridge at 625 metres high. Recent footage of the bridge has been released, showing crews putting on the finishing touches.

Construction began in 2022, and took just three years to complete. The bridge is nearly over a kilometre long and stands nine times higher than the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It will cut travel time for drivers from an hour to a minute.
