The EU wants to stop feeding your DNS queries to Silicon Valley.
DNS4EU is the European Commission’s attempt to build a sovereign DNS resolver infrastructure that doesn’t route all your web lookups through the likes of Google, or Cloudflare.
DNS4EU aims to bring DNS resolution under EU oversight and privacy rules.
So, if you want 🇪🇺-backed ad-blocking and child protection, you may want to give it a try.

I recommend hiring junior humans over AI. Still. Just tool them up.

Anyway... who here remembers Badgers Badgers Badgers, Narwhals Narwhals, Weebl & Bob and Look at my Horse?
How programming LinkedIn posts sometimes feel like.
I do not use if statements. 'If' sounds like I am uncertain, like I am not in control. Undecided. If...
I use conditionals. This is my code and these are my conditions. I set the rules. I am the boss!

Of all the apps I would want my car to have, Zoom is pretty damn far down the list…
“Homogeny—and AI is the ultimate homogeny—stifles the possibility of breakthrough. It's not only deep thinkers that we need, but those who think differently. We need diversity of thought, diversity of idea, diversity of imagination. In business, in life and in society we need people who attack problems from different angles.”
