Mobile World Congress starts today. But did you hear about Mobile Social Congress?

It’s public space, off of #MWC26, which offers a critical look at the current model of production and consumption of electronic devices and information and communication technologies, as well as an opportunity to learn about alternative models and projects based on technological sovereignty, sustainability and respect for human rights.

“Keep the system boring. Boring systems live long.”

A reminder that in tech, endurance isn’t about flashy features—it’s about thoughtful, maintainable design.

For engineers, the real artistry is in building things that last.

📎 Meet my new profile icon: Clippy the Paperclip! 🖇️✨

You might recognize this little guy from the ‘90s, but Clippy’s back—and this time, he’s a symbol of resistance! 🛠️💙 Inspired by Louis Rossmann, Clippy has become the mascot of a growing digital rebellion against Big Tech’s planned obsolescence, surveillance, and the "shitification" of everything we love. He’s here to remind us that tech should serve people, not the other way around.

I personalized mine with a blue beret. That’s my little wink to Blue Beanie Day—and web accessibility—to make the internet work for everyone. (Because yes, even the revolution needs to be inclusive! 😉)

P.S. If anyone knows how to add alt text to profile pics, let me know—I’d love to have an image description in my profile!

P.P.S. 📎 To fight against Big Tech's "shitification" and advocate for the right to repair and personal ownership, visit fulu.org/newsletter
