⚡️💬 READ - Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.” The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

⚡️🔐 FYI - European governments are moving away from WhatsApp and Signal for official communications and switching to their own secure messaging systems that they fully control. Countries including France, Germany, Belgium, Poland, the Netherlands and Luxembourg have adopted in-house platforms such as BEAM, Wire and Matrix-based tools. The European Commission will complete its switch by the end of 2026, and NATO already runs its own dedicated system. « The issue is not encryption strength. Both WhatsApp and Signal use strong end-to-end encryption, their real concern is that these apps are run by US companies under US law and the governments want complete control over servers, metadata, data and access rules. For individuals and organisations wanting the same level of control, Wire is a strong and accessible choice. It is Swiss-made, open-source, uses modern encryption, and can be self-hosted so your data stays under your control. It is already used by thousands of German officials. »
