#AstorPiazzolla (1921-1992)

Je n’arrive toujours pas à croire que certains pseudo-critics continuent de m’accuser d’avoir assassiné le tango. Ils se trompent. Ils devraient me voir comme le sauveur du tango. J’y ai pratiqué une chirurgie plastique.

La musique pour qu’elle évolue, faut bien la mélanger. Si elle reste en cercle fermé… elle meurt.
Le tango c’est déjà un mélange de culture, un métissage musical.

"Public institutions are funded by taxpayers' money: their communications serve public interests and should be open to all - without the need of creating social media accounts on proprietary, for-profit closed systems. This is especially salient for European governmental communications: isn’t it absurd that they would require social media accounts owned and run by U.S. based companies?"

> I look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions

Well, great article, Elena ! I would love to disseminate a French version.

Did you link with @leavex ? They carry roughly the same message though not ruling out Bluesky.

Thank you for your thoughts about Bluesky, by the way! I am struggling to understand eurosky. Any thoughts on it?

Instagram removed end‑to‑end encrypted chats on May 8, 2026 🔓.

Without E2EE, private messages could become accessible for data analysis or AI training, raising serious privacy and user‑trust concerns 🤔.

A redditor (Ok_Lingonberry3296) traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and lobbying records across 45 states to figure out who's behind the age verification bills.

The answer is Meta - a company that profits from your data writing laws that collect more of it.

I hadn't even realized how much I missed a good old photo feed until I visited pixelfed. It's like stepping out into nature where the peace in the air takes away the pain you didn't know you had.

Is this the first time a major service has removed end-to-end encryption instead of adding it? Why Instagram?
