I like the digital sovereignty stuff. Just wish they’d get rid of the AI act and some other rather heavyhanded, regressive rules. Then I’d probably go to Zurich and try to get into the tech scene there.

This is generally true. My brother is a musician, and he struggles to find work. I got lucky growing up working on programming projects until 3am for fun, then being interested in database research and later AI research several years before people started paying attention. I think we need a UBI so that the people who don’t want to build stuff can do what they want instead of going into marketing or sales, or anything that’s a net drain or neutral on society.

The (singular) fediverse girl is kind of sad
