Additional F-16s have arrived in Ukraine, and Russia's claims of downing an F-16 in Sumy are false, says President Zelensky.

He added that Ukraine will mirror Russian strikes on energy facilities and prepare a list of priority civilian infrastructure to share with partners in Saudi Arabia. Zelensky opposed a peace line settlement, warning, "We don’t want another Berlin."

EU slams the door on US in colossal defense plan

> United States arms-makers are being frozen out of the European Union’s massive new defense spending plan, which aims to splash the cash for #EU and allied countries, according to defense spending plans released Wednesday.

> Also left out — for now — is the United Kingdom.

> “We must buy more European. Because that means strengthening the European defense technological and industrial base,” politico.eu/article/eu-freeze- #EU #defence #NATO #UK

@EUCommission Dejad de imponer reglas y exigir que #Apple abra sus dispositivos y tecnologías a terceros.

Quien quiera más interoperabilidad que no compre productos de Apple.

Los que compramos #iOS y #macOS lo hacemos por su fiabilidad y seguridad. Algo que estáis comprometiendo con todo esto.

Al final sólo conseguís que a #EU no lleguen nuevas funcionalidades por estas políticas estúpidas.

Time to ditch US tech for homegrown options, says Dutch parliament

"With each IT service our government moves to American tech giants, we become dumber and weaker," Dutch MP Barbara Kathmann, author of four of the motions, told The Register. "If we continue outsourcing all of our digital infrastructure to billionaires that would rather escape Earth by building space rockets, there will be no Dutch expertise left."

I hope they do this.

I'm sure it's all part of #Dementia #Trump plans to destroy international relations and the global economy.

🥺 This is a long shot:

I'm trying to find a #NGO based in #Paris focusing on teen dating violence and/or consent (IPV).

I will be in Paris April 7th & 8th.

I want to briefly meet & share our free resources & let others know about our unique work to help adolescents. (I'm speaking at Games for Health Europe in Eindhoven & returning via Paris.)

I founded a nonprofit org in 2006.

We hope to collaborate with groups in France -- especially while France is working on issues about #consent.

🎮 We have an innovative program using prosocial video games to engage young people (11 - 23). We want to find a group in France interested in making these games available in French.

👉🏽 I've been interviewed by France24 about our innovative games about consent.

👉🏽 One of our consent games was made into a lifesize exhibit at a museum in Australia.

👉🏽 We worked with WorldVision to create a game about consent for young people in Vanuatu.

🎉 Over 20,000 folks / year learn about consent through our free games.

Please let me know if you have questions -- and please share with groups / instances who might know somebody who knows somebody.

Europe faces the risk of becoming almost entirely dependent on foreign technology within three years unless it radically changes its approach to supporting the domestic tech sector, a coalition of more than 80 organisations has warned.
