📱 Built to last

Your new smartphone or tablet must last longer, be easier to fix, and use less energy.

As new EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling laws have entered into force, here’s what changes:

🔧 Easier to repair – spare parts for at least 7 years
💧 More durable against drops, water, dust
💡 Labelled for energy use, battery life, durability
💶 €20 billion savings for consumers by 2030
🌱 Using 1/3 less energy vs. doing nothing

Smart rules. Smart savings. All win.

ℹ️ europa.eu/!vwY9Nn

An overhead shot shows a smartphone displaying an energy label, placed on a European Union flag. The energy label is prominently displayed on the phone screen, featuring the word "ENERG" in blue at the top right. Below this is a QR code and the text "MODEL IDENTIFIER." On the left, a bar graph with letters A through G illustrates energy efficiency, with "A" at the top in dark green, descending to "G" in red. A large "B" indicates the appliance's energy class. Below this, a battery or power symbol is accompanied by "15h 35min." Further down, three icons are arranged horizontally, followed by "XY00x" and "IP68." The EU flag, with its yellow stars on a blue background, fills the rest of the frame.

The Internet runs on open source, and open source runs on people. Let’s raise a toast 🥂 to the maintainers, volunteers, and contributors. #opensource #gratitude

well at least Americans don’t think it’s a programming language 🤣

A page from a book displays two text facts. The top fact reads: "1 in 8 Americans have worked at McDonald's." The bottom fact, in larger and bolder text, reads: "1 in 10 Americans think HTML is a sexually transmitted disease."

When a president threatens violence and pardons those who attack democracy, don’t be shocked when elected officials start getting killed.

I don’t mind people getting excited about their birthday — but if you’re 79 and still trying to prove how big yours is with a military parade, you’ve missed the point of aging.

Gearing up for . Going to use my First Amendment freedom to say no to dictatorship in the United States.

Small U.S. flags, a large flag, a blue tshirt with the No Kings logo on the back, and a pile of cards to hand out with information about Indivisible Santa Fe.

My American friends: I hope you join me today.
To stand up for our freedom to assemble & our freedom of speech. To reject authoritarianism & dictatorship.
To demand the government be accountable to the people - not the reverse.

I rode my bike to the library to return a book, which isn't terribly exciting, but I'm pleased that I can now take care of local errands by bike instead of car.

Good morning. Forgoing the usual flowers and pretty photography today.

Be loud. Be heard. Be smart. Be safe.
