Why are open standards for messaging interoperability important? Ironically the team that worked on Google Talk described it best: Client Choice, Service Choice, Platform Choice: https://t.co/a0oYx5E0sa #DMA #XMPP

HEY @amazon @AmazonMGMStudio

I REFUSE to believe that the original creators of #Stargate would have created something that wouldn't have had broad appeal. They are extremely talented people that created one of the biggest franchises in our time. REVERSE this decision!

LET THEM SHOW YOU AND US WHAT THEY CREATED.

Look at what is happening to Disney Star Wars at the box office right now. Look at how the new Star Trek Academy went.

WHY do you keep making the same mistakes?!?

IT'S NOT TOO LATE. LET GERO, JOE AND THE OG'S COOK!

A few days away from alerts, dashboards, and incident timelines. ⚡
The Netdata team came together this week for an AI workshop & meetup focused on collaboration, experimentation, and the future of AI-native observability.
Great conversations and lots of new ideas.💚

When you wake up reasonably rested, you take some time to go over the generated root-cause analysis report with your colleagues. Maybe with this playlist in the background. #ILoveTrouble #ILove3AM https://t.co/cDCBJt7itg

One of the downsides of a fully remote company is missing in-person interactions that humans require to successfully collaborate. That's why most of us at @netdatahq have gathered in Athens this week. It is great to work and have fun together!

Then, when things go wrong at 3 a.m. it will help you troubleshoot by showing the ready made dashboards for all your signals at a 1-second interval, and use our interactive AI insights and other tools to find the problem and address it. All so you can go back to sleep faster.

Bah. @PepsiCo is discontinuing an icon of Dutch savoury snacks: Nibb It Rings. Only to tease with a Zigzags revival that nobody in The Netherlands is waiting for. What a terrible idea.

@BBCWorld “In response, Musk's site blocked the Commission from making adverts on its platform.” This is factually wrong. They were banned because they tried to game the system. https://t.co/rOrVdLFTpX

[Ralph Meijer @ralphm]

@jimkleiber @aakashgupta Exactly. @Reddit being the prime offender here.

[Ralph Meijer @ralphm]

@tweets_nika That is a separate but equally worrying topic. Either everyone will have to ID, or your behaviour needs to be analysed to flag you as possibly under a certain age.

[Ralph Meijer @ralphm]

This proposal, more aptly known as #ChatControl is like having to put your letters through a scanner for approval, unknowing what it will look for, before sealing the envelope. It is fundamentally incompatible with open protocols, and the optionality is a smoke screen.

[EU Council @EUCouncil]

The EU is reinforcing its efforts to protect children from sexual abuse.

Member states agreed their position on a new regulation requiring online platforms to prevent, remove & block abuse material, with stronger national oversight and a new EU centre to support victims.

[Ralph Meijer @ralphm]

If not, the last resort is the @EUparliament. There can be no acceptable compromise that keeps the concept of client-side scanning (even if "voluntary") or weakens end-to-end encryption.

[Ralph Meijer @ralphm]

I am happy that The Netherlands, along with a few other countries, has been opposing this proposal. The @EUCouncil must reject it outright as it is ineffective and all but mandates dangerous, unverifiable mechanisms for vetting all communication (except governments!)

Toch een brevet van onvermogen. Heeft jullie websitebouwer nog nooit van CDNs zoals CloudFlare gehoord? @brabantalert @VRBZO @NCTV_NL

[Ralph Meijer @ralphm]

@iichicgo @brabantalert Onwaarschijnlijk dat je dat hier kunt ruiken. De wind komt uit ZZO en een zwak. Dit artikel noemt ook expliciet Tessenderlo-Ham: https://t.co/9y9gRABRDy

[Ralph Meijer @ralphm]

@brabantalert Even jullie website achter Cloudflare hangen. Zelfs hun gratis CDN-dienst zou voldoende moeten zijn als heel Zuidoost Brabant ineens langskomt.

Goed dat we niet hebben gewacht op de app:

[Ralph Meijer @ralphm]

Informatie op @Schiphol is weer een drama. Voor vrijwel alle aankomende vluchten geen aankomstgate, -terminal of bagageband bekend in de app of bij aankomsthal. Zelfs vluchten die al meer dan 45 min. geleden geland zijn. Ook de borden bij de bagagebanden doen het niet.
