Exclusive: US orders diplomats to fight data sovereignty initiatives An internal diplomatic cable said such efforts could interfere with AI-related services.

The Trump administration is expanding its fight against digital sovereignty, to ensure the United States doesnโ€™t lose an important point of leverage over friend and foe alike.

This should be another reason to accelerate efforts to ditch US tech, and especially its dominant cloud companies.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Escaping the trap of US tech dependence Canada needs real digital sovereignty, not our own digital colonizers

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in techโ€™s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States.

Itโ€™s time to break out of that trap โ€” but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

The heat energy we added to the ocean LAST YEAR is the equivalent of:
- Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute
- operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history
- Five times all the electricity human beings have ever used

Making the electricity grid work like the internet Jonas Birgersson joins me to explain how "packet-switching" for electrons can lead to energy abundance and grid resilience.

Today on Volts: Swedish tech entrepreneur Jonas Birgersson was once known in his country as "broadband Jesus" for his efforts in spreading decentralized, low-cost broadband access. Now, he wants to bring the same decentralized, peer-to-peer revolution to the electricity grid.

In a sane world, this would be front page news everywhere.
But it will hardly be covered anywhere.

The North Pacific Ocean surface warmed over twice as much over the past 15 years than it did over the preceding 156 years.

That's an increase in warming rate of >2000%!
