We haven't started yet and the room is still empty, but I'm hoping we'll discuss how #Windows is abused to dominate other markets, by aggressively nudging users to #Edge, #Xbox, #OneDrive, #ChatGPT, etc.
The "regulatory dialogue" with the Commission, according to #Linkedin's competition director, was a way for the company to "mature and progress in our DMA journey."
It's not a "journey", it's a law that creates legal obligations and prohibitions for the company. Get over it and get it down already. ๐
After a lengthy statement by the #Linkedin rep, read out from paper with a machine-like voice, first questions from the audience:
Consumer org @beuc wants to know whether Linkedin's A/B testing for compliance solutions have been neutral and if the test results will be published. Super important for compliance #transparency!
Again, Linkedin refuses to share actual data of how users interact with consent screens, only speaking of "non-minimal numbers" of European users who opted out.
So funny how the #Windows lawyer starts off by dissing competitor #Apple by highlighting how Windows has always been an open platform where users can install apps from wherever they want without having to ask for permission ๐ฅ
Haha this conversation with #Windows lawyers is so wild I don't even find time to post here about it.
So, I asked them how it's legal under the #DMA's Art 5(2) data cross-use prohibition to automatically sign up Windows users with #OneDrive and thereby sharing my personal data (login credentials) with the service.
The lawyers confirmed that this is what they do and argued strangely this was legal because "there are many ways to sign in to Windows". Local accounts anyone? ๐คฅ

ESA astronaut Sophie Adenotโs first mission to the International Space Station now has a name: ฮตpsilon. The mission name and patch were announced today at the Paris Air Show by ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Sophie Adenot, who joined remotely from the United States, where she is training for her spaceflight.
Sophie Adenot is one of the five astronauts selected from ESAโs most recent astronaut class of 2022. Following the successful completion of their basic training in spring 2024, Josef Aschbacher announced during the Space Council in Brussels that Sophie and fellow graduate Raphaรซl Liรฉgois had been assigned their first missions to the International Space Station, currently planned for 2026.
The ฮตpsilon name and patch reflect the power of small, yet impactful contributions and how multiple parts unite to create a whole. In mathematics, โฮตโ represents something small. In the extensive collaborative effort of space exploration, involving thousands of participants, all roles, including the astronaut's role, stay small yet meaningful.
During her ฮตpsilon mission, Sophie will perform numerous scientific experiments, many of them European, conduct medical research, support Earth observation and contribute to operations and maintenance aboard the International Space Station.

For Lior Sternfeld, a historian of modern Iran, Israel's regime change fantasies ignore realities inside the Islamic Republic and risk repeating historic mistakes.
"They were waiting for me when I got off the plane. Officer Martinez intercepted me before I entered primary processing and took me immediately into an interrogation room in the back, where he took my phone and demanded my passcode. When I refused, I was told I would be immediately sent back home if I did not comply. I should have taken that deal and opted for the quick deportation. But in that moment, dazed from my fourteen-hour flight, I believed C.B.P. would let me into the U.S. once they realized they were dealing with a middling writer from regional Australia. So I complied.
Then began the first โinterview.โ The questions focussed almost entirely on my reporting about the Columbia student protests. From 2022 to 2024, I attended Columbia for an M.F.A. program, on a student visa, and when the encampment began in April of last year I began publishing daily missives to my Substack, a blog that virtually no one (except, apparently, the U.S. government) seemed to read. To Officer Martinez, the pieces were highly concerning. He asked me what I thought about โit all,โ meaning the conflict on campus, as well as the conflict between Israel and Hamas. He asked my opinion of Israel, of Hamas, of the student protesters. He asked if I was friends with any Jews. He asked for my views on a one- versus a two-state solution. He asked who was at fault: Israel or Palestine. He asked what Israel should do differently. (The Department of Homeland Security, which governs the C.B.P., claims that any allegations that Iโd been arrested for political beliefs are false.)"

CE QUI M'A รTร DIT VA ARRIVER EN IRAN Le plan de bataille initial pour une nouvelle guerre Seymour #HERSH (19 juin 2025) :
Voici un rapport sur ce qui va trรจs probablement se passer en #Iran, dรจs ce week-end, selon des sources israรฉliennes et des responsables amรฉricains en qui j'ai confiance depuis des dรฉcennies. Cela impliquera de lourds bombardements amรฉricains. J'ai vรฉrifiรฉ ce rapport auprรจs d'un responsable amรฉricain de longue date ร Washington, qui m'a dit que tout serait ยซsous contrรดleยป si le guide suprรชme iranien Ali Khamenei ยซdisparaissaitยป. On ignore toutefois comment cela pourrait se produire, ร moins d'un assassinat. On a beaucoup parlรฉ de la puissance de feu amรฉricaine et des cibles ร l'intรฉrieur de l'Iran, mais, pour autant que je sache, peu de rรฉflexions concrรจtes ont รฉtรฉ menรฉes sur la maniรจre de destituer un chef religieux vรฉnรฉrรฉ qui bรฉnรฉficie d'un immense soutien populaire.
Je couvre depuis des dรฉcennies, ร distance, la politique #nuclรฉaire et รฉtrangรจre d'Israรซl. Mon livre publiรฉ en 1991, The Samson Option, raconte l'histoire de la fabrication de la bombe atomique israรฉlienne et la volontรฉ des รtats-Unis de garder ce projet secret. La question la plus importante qui reste sans rรฉponse concernant la situation actuelle est celle de la rรฉaction du monde, y compris celle de Vladimir #Poutine, le prรฉsident russe qui est un alliรฉ des dirigeants iraniens.
Les รtats-Unis restent le plus important alliรฉ d' #Israรซl, mรชme si beaucoup, ici et dans le monde entier, abhorrent la guerre meurtriรจre que mรจne Israรซl ร #Gaza. L'administration #Trump soutient pleinement le plan actuel d'Israรซl visant ร dรฉbarrasser l'Iran de toute trace de programme nuclรฉaire, tout en espรฉrant que le gouvernement dirigรฉ par les ayatollahs ร Tรฉhรฉran sera renversรฉ.
J'ai appris que la Maison Blanche avait donnรฉ son feu vert ร une campagne de bombardements intensifs en Iran, mais les cibles ultimes, les centrifugeuses enfouies ร au moins 80 mรจtres sous terre ร Fordow, ne seront pas frappรฉes avant le week-end, ร l'heure oรน j'รฉcris ces lignes. Ce report est dรป ร l'insistance de Trump, qui souhaite que le choc du bombardement soit attรฉnuรฉ autant que possible par l'ouverture de la Bourse de Wall Street lundi. (Trump a contestรฉ ce matin sur les rรฉseaux sociaux un article du Wall Street Journal affirmant qu'il avait dรฉcidรฉ d'attaquer l'Iran, รฉcrivant qu'il n'avait pas encore dรฉcidรฉ de la marche ร suivre).
Fordow abrite la majoritรฉ des centrifugeuses les plus avancรฉes d'Iran qui, selon les derniers rapports de l'Agence internationale de l'รฉnergie atomique, dont l'Iran est signataire, ont produit 900 livres d'uranium enrichi ร 60 %, soit ร deux doigts du niveau requis pour la fabrication d'armes nuclรฉaires.
Les derniรจres frappes aรฉriennes israรฉliennes contre l'Iran n'ont pas cherchรฉ ร dรฉtruire les centrifugeuses de #Fordow, qui sont stockรฉes ร au moins 80 mรจtres sous terre. Il a รฉtรฉ convenu mercredi que des bombardiers amรฉricains รฉquipรฉs de bombes capables de pรฉnรฉtrer ร cette profondeur commenceront ร attaquer le site de Fordow ce week-end.
Ce dรฉlai donnera aux forces militaires amรฉricaines prรฉsentes au #Moyen-Orient et en Mรฉditerranรฉe orientale (il y a plus d'une vingtaine de bases aรฉriennes et de ports navals amรฉricains dans la rรฉgion) le temps de se prรฉparer ร d'รฉventuelles reprรฉsailles iraniennes. On suppose que l'Iran dispose encore de certaines capacitรฉs balistiques et aรฉriennes qui figureront sur la liste des cibles amรฉricaines. ยซC'est l'occasion de se dรฉbarrasser une fois pour toutes de ce rรฉgimeยป, m'a dรฉclarรฉ aujourd'hui un responsable bien informรฉ, ยซalors autant voir les choses en grandยป. Il a toutefois prรฉcisรฉ qu'il ne s'agirait pas d'un ยซtapis de bombesยป.
Les bombardements prรฉvus ce week-end auront รฉgalement de nouvelles cibles : les bases des Gardiens de la rรฉvolution, qui ont contrรฉ ceux qui font campagne contre les dirigeants rรฉvolutionnaires depuis le renversement violent du shah d'Iran au dรฉbut de 1979.
Les dirigeants israรฉliens, sous la direction du Premier ministre Benjamin Netanyahu, espรจrent que ces bombardements fourniront ยซles moyens de crรฉer un soulรจvementยป contre le rรฉgime iranien actuel, qui a fait preuve de peu de tolรฉrance envers ceux qui dรฉfient les dirigeants religieux et leurs รฉdits. Les commissariats de police iraniens seront frappรฉs. Les bureaux gouvernementaux qui abritent des dossiers sur les dissidents prรฉsumรฉs en Iran seront รฉgalement attaquรฉs.
Les Israรฉliens espรจrent apparemment aussi, si j'ai bien compris, que Khamenei fuira le pays et ne rรฉsistera pas jusqu'au bout. On m'a dit que son avion personnel avait quittรฉ l'aรฉroport de Tรฉhรฉran tรดt mercredi matin ร destination d'Oman, accompagnรฉ de deux avions de chasse, mais on ne sait pas s'il รฉtait ร bord.
Seuls deux tiers des 90 millions d'Iraniens sont persans. Les minoritรฉs les plus importantes sont les #Azรฉris, dont beaucoup ont des liens secrets de longue date avec la #CIA, les Kurdes, les Arabes et les Baloutches. Les Juifs constituent รฉgalement une petite minoritรฉ. (L' #Azerbaรฏdjan abrite une importante base secrรจte de la CIA pour ses opรฉrations en Iran).
Le retour du fils du shah, qui vit actuellement en exil prรจs de Washington, n'a jamais รฉtรฉ envisagรฉ par les stratรจges amรฉricains et israรฉliens, m'a-t-on dit. Mais il a รฉtรฉ question, au sein du groupe de planification de la Maison Blanche, dont fait partie le vice-prรฉsident J.D. Vance, d'installer un leader religieux modรฉrรฉ ร la tรชte du pays si #Khamenei รฉtait destituรฉ. Les Israรฉliens se sont vivement opposรฉs ร cette idรฉe. ยซIls se fichent complรจtement de la question religieuse, mais exigent une marionnette politique pour contrรดler le paysยป, a dรฉclarรฉ un haut responsable amรฉricain de longue date. ยซNous sommes divisรฉs avec les Israรฉliens sur ce point. Il en rรฉsulterait une hostilitรฉ permanente et des conflits futurs ร perpรฉtuitรฉ, Bibi essayant dรฉsespรฉrรฉment d'attirer les รtats-Unis comme alliรฉ contre tout ce qui est musulman, en utilisant le sort des citoyens comme appรขt propagandiste.ยป
Selon mes informations, les services de renseignement amรฉricains et israรฉliens espรจrent que des รฉlรฉments de la communautรฉ azรฉrie se joindront ร une rรฉvolte populaire contre le rรฉgime au pouvoir, si une telle rรฉvolte venait ร se dรฉvelopper pendant la poursuite des bombardements israรฉliens. Certains pensent รฉgalement que certains membres des Gardiens de la rรฉvolution pourraient se joindre ร ce qui pourrait รชtre, selon mes informations, ยซun soulรจvement dรฉmocratique contre les ayatollahsยป, une aspiration de longue date du gouvernement amรฉricain. Le renversement soudain et rรฉussi de Bachar #al-Assad en Syrie a รฉtรฉ citรฉ comme un modรจle potentiel, mรชme si la chute d'Assad est intervenue aprรจs une longue guerre civile.
Il est possible que les bombardements massifs menรฉs par Israรซl et les รtats-Unis plongent l'Iran dans un รฉtat de dรฉfaillance permanente, comme cela s'est produit aprรจs l'intervention occidentale en Libye en 2011. Cette rรฉvolte a abouti au meurtre brutal de Mouammar Kadhafi, qui maintenait sous contrรดle les tribus disparates du pays. L'avenir de la #Syrie, de l' #Irak et du #Liban, tous victimes d'attaques extรฉrieures rรฉpรฉtรฉes, est loin d'รชtre rรฉglรฉ.
