Upon returning from Moscow in 1987, the bankrupt Trump suddenly receives loans from 16 banks and, without negotiation, purchases The Plaza Hotel for $407.5 million — a record price for a hotel.
Reason: Trump became the Russian asset.

This is really scary, but it explains a lot!
July 1987, Moscow, USSR — Trump, 41 years old, flies to Moscow at the invitation of Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., Yuri Dubinin.

Major publishers will oppose it.
Typically, library new ebooks from the major publishers can cost libraries $65 or more for a metered license. By this bill, those prices have to be closer to consumer prices, around $15, for libraries to license them.

The Edge AI Gallery reveals Google’s recognition that the centralized AI model it helped build may not last. Google open-sources its tools and makes on-device AI widely available because it believes controlling tomorrow’s AI infrastructure matters more than owning data centers.

It could become the biggest shift in AI since cloud computing emerged. While tech giants spend years to massive data centers, Google bets the future belongs to the billions of smartphones people already carry.
Google fundamentally changes how users relate to their personal data

Digital IDs should not give authorities the ability to track where or when you use it.
Today, Brave and other privacy advocates are calling on authorities across the world to reject any identity systems that can "phone home."

#PhoneHome Goes from Helpful to Harmful:
when phone home is used to verify identities across organizational boundaries rather than just within those boundaries. That’s when phone home goes from useful single sign-on to Orwellian surveillance and control.

Secondary Publishing Rights allow research articles and associated research data, and potentially other research outputs, to be made openly accessible in an open-access repository (such as Open Science Slovenia), even when the publisher does not allow immediate open access.

It's about power and money, not about human flourishing.
So, before our LIVES become disposable commodities,
How can we resist this digital coup against the very concept of life? How can we remind that consciousness, not code, remains uniquely human?

License-based e-Lending may raise concerns about user privacy
as it can involve sharing personal data with publishers. The (i)SDL model avoids these issues by protecting user privacy.
Let's enhance public libraries by distributed book collections for PRIVATE use:

The American government used a Russian agent, Natalia Koshkina, as an interpreter during negotiations about ending the war that Russia started in Ukraine.
Koshkina has been serving Putin for what feels like forever and not just as an interpreter.

Excited to see Mistral catching up with Claude 3.7 on benchmarks, at a much lower cost and with an open weights model. This is important progress for European data & AI sovereignty. I sincerely hope Mistral will never be sold to a non-European company.

Librarians re. ProQuest's #EbookOnlyLicensingModel: “Fewer choices for content providers, for digital ownership, erosion of the first sale doctrine, monopolies - bad for libraries
- can't fulfill our mission due to monopolies”
