Another reminder that “15-Minute Cities” isn’t a new idea. It’s skilled packaging of an idea that’s been around for a LONG time.

It’s been called “city of short distances.” I used to call it “The Power of Nearness.” MANY names.

More things close by. Less car dependency. More CHOICE.

Common sense.

Here's what they discovered:

The Hamburg DPA is urging EU users who don't want their personal data fed into Meta's AI technologies to "take action now" and has compiled a Q&A to guide them through the process. Meta announced its intent to restart this process earlier this week.

Want to increase your citation count on Google Scholar?
You can simply buy citations in bulk.

NYU researchers created a fake Google Scholar profile, generated AI papers, uploaded them to pre-print servers, and bought 50 citations for those papers.

Research Flow is a new app that solves this problem. It uses full text of papers to answer your questions.

"Google has not sufficiently fulfilled its #DMA obligations and must improve the presentation of its own services. It is encouraging to see that the @EU_Commission is sticking to its consistent line in favour of more competition on online portal markets!"
