To stay competitive in the AI era, Europe must tackle its energy bottleneck. A 'fast energy' approach—accelerating renewables, nuclear, and grid expansion—is vital to support power-hungry data centres and secure economic autonomy. #AI #CloudComputing #Energy

Egypt’s fintech ecosystem is now a MENA powerhouse: a $765M market targeting $2.9B by 2033. With 177 firms, 116M mobile users, and frictionless Central Bank licensing, it's shifting from experimentation to execution at scale.

Iran's IRGC has threatened major US tech firms (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon) with attacks starting April 1. Following recent strikes on AWS data centers in the Gulf, the risk to cloud infrastructure is escalating quickly.

Canada's DND awarded Larus Technologies $8.3M for MAABI — an AI platform compressing analysis-to-action for military commanders. Ingests sensor feeds, runs wargaming scenarios in real time. Domestic capability, not foreign COTS. #DefenceTech #AI #Canada

For those who are at #reinvent25 - if you do nothing else today, turn on your VPN 😉 Large technology conferences are famous for people snooping on Comms....

Great event at @dynatrace.com in Lisbon. Learning about the latest Dynatrace features and capabilities and what they can do to address organisational resilience, tool sprawl, and overspend. #Dynatrace #Deloitte #PowerUp2025
Earlier this month I spoke at AICON Belfast and explored a topic I know many of us grapple with: why a significant number of AI projects don't achieve their full potential 📉

Fantastic to speak at October's AICON conference where I explored a critical question: Why do the most promising AI ideas often fail to reach the ‘last mile’ 💡

This is a big deal... OpenAI has (partially) returned to its Open source roots by releasing two new "open-weight" models - spurred, no doubt, by the success of DeepSeek.

Brilliant day at Belfast PRIDE with the #Deloitte #PROUD network and allies. We still have a long way to go, and have had some backwards steps recently. But seeing the amount of people and supporters today, #equality for ALL is achievable. Happy PRIDE everyone
@kellifb.bsky.social I bought my third book from xigxag, and am loving the experience. Love your company's ethics (treating everyone with respect) and being free from subscriptions, and to be supporting a smallco. It took some searching to find out about your company, but I am glad I persisted.
Just watched this. How Amazing is Michael Sheen? Today, this is the type of news we need to see more of. What a truly inspiring person he is #millionpoundgiveaway
@politico.com - would be good if you added a link to the "follow us on" section on your website for Bluesky :)
Meme: Utterly thrilled that Willem Dafoe has been cast as the Klingon Bird of Prey Top figure: Klingon war ship in space Bottom figure: Dafoe posing in a wide leg stance, bent at the waist, arms back, visually resembling the Klingon ship
We are in a dystopian era. The CDC has been instructed to pull any inflight research that contains terms like Gender, Pregnant, and LGBT. Effectively banning CDC research, because most scientific papers use Table 1 to list demographics.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
You, my friend, are a genius. Brilliant work!
Who made this? Concur with another Blueski on here - very Metropolis...

What a wonderful, wonderful person. For twenty years Matthew didn't have a permanent burial place because they feared his grave would be vandalised. How people cannot see just how unequivocally inspirational she is is beyond me - and a sign of the level of animosity in society today #realchristian
This links to an article from 2018, when the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde presided over the internment of Matthew Sheppard. Yes, the very same Reverend who presided over the inaugural mass this past Monday.

No, not really. I just explained how well encrypted and secure it was - it also supports user names now. My mother and a few others, of course, needed me there to help them 😁, but you can also send links for them to get the app too.
They kind of feel they are in a secret club now, which helped!
Signal :). Myself and my family, friends, and many work colleagues use that now...
BMW has announced it's leaving X/Twitter. This historic event marks the first time a BMW has signaled before lane departure.
That is hilarious... I belly-laughed. Well done 😁
