Before MozFest, I wrote that I was curious how much of the «Wilding» conversation would reach data governance, interoperability and the question of who writes the rules. Here is my answer, with a caveat. I attended about 15 of the 200+ sessions, and I skipped most of the advocacy ones. This is my route through…

Hace unos días, el Gobierno del Principado de Asturias se hizo eco en LinkedIn de ENCINA, la estrategia de IA del Principado de Asturias (2026-2031).

Description I had been to the area several times before. I had recently made my first attempt at a Milky Way shot at the near Valdevaqueros Dune. After reasonable success with that one, I decided to try another type of night shot and capture some star trails. I arrived before sunset. This is a popular local spot for…
