Interesting interview (in Dutch) with Kim van Sparrentak, a Dutch MEP, about shaping regulations in the European Parliament, specifically social media and AI regulation. Interesting listen if you understand Dutch: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4mcBXGY8neyqvKRqtCdsuj?si=3e2c4149c61146b4

This is interesting. What should the new Euro bank notes look like? You can help decide by giving feedback on several design proposals. What's your favourite? https://surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/https://surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/banknotes/share/ arkeshare

Still there are people who believe their country is better off outside the EU. Here are some Brexit stats that say they won't be. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jun/14/how-uk-economy-changed-since-brexit-vote-charts?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

France makes the first move to get rid of US software. Industrial base, not regulation, drives the self sovereignity of Internet. The software replacing video conferencing is comes from a government department called Dinum. "The notice will be published “in the next few days,” a spokesperson from Dinum said. That follows an announcement on Sunday by the Minister for State Reform David Amiel that France would target the adoption of a home-grown videoconferencing platform by 2027." As reported by Politico: https://www.politico.eu/article/france-ban-officials-us-video-tools-zoom-teams-visio/ Late last year Dinum joined Matrix, an open source collective: "DINUM, the French Interministerial Digital Directorate, has officially announced that they were joining the Matrix.org Foundation as a Silver member and becomes the first government to join the Matrix.org Foundation." https://matrix.org/blog/2025/10/dinum/
