In a month we are hosting the #SustainableICT #PhD Winter School at #ULB in #Brussels. We have an amazing speaker line-up for you and there is still time to register and to come along: https://www.sictdoctoralschool.com/

The #ICT sector plays a contradictory role in shaping #sustainability and #sustainable futures. #SICT2026 aims to explore these tensions across planetary and societal boundaries - from the environmental cost of digital infrastructure to the erosion of public trust and democratic processes.

Electronics embedded in a some concrete or rock material, text in partially pixelated font: SustainableICT Winter School; 26th - 30th January 2026; Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium; What's it about? In a world where natural and social systems are collapsing under digital divides, over-engineered gadgets, it's time to re-thing tech. Financially supported by Universite franco allemande, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, FRS-FNRS, UC Louvain.

“ideal” 🤔

Screenshot from WordPress blog:

“AI as a Fundamental

What if this were true of AI?

What if, from the end-user to the plugin developer, they could take for granted that there’s an AI model accessible to me by virtue of being in WordPress? What kinds of things would people use it for? What amazing things would people create that are built on the reliable presence of a capable LLM?” — Screenshot from WordPress blog: “AI as a Fundamental What if this were true of AI?

You're right! Ideal is too strong for the case, as we'd better chose something else. Maybe viable/possible would fit better. However, #WordPress 43% adds #networkeffects to #opensourceinnovation. Otherwise, how would #Brazilianmuseums, which are among the most defunded institutions on the planet, have the muscle to be part of this conversation? The opportunity that the #pluginecosystem opens up for #sustainable #freesoftware development was key to bringing us here.

I wish there was an app for removing Google's AI from my Android phone, though. 😒 Yes I know you're supposed to remove it via some cautiously buried system settings, but who has the patience to practice those magic spells?

@Lambo You wish an app to solve issues with apps from Google
How about a #de-googled OS? #e_OS #lineageos #grapheneos
Yes, I know, not a single button click, yet there are a few devices with preinstalled versions, #fairphone ...
And there are certainly ways and guides on #sustainable and #sovereign applications of #AI ?
