🚫 Siri AI en 2026… sauf pour l’Europe. Pendant que le reste du monde profitera du nouveau Siri, les utilisateurs européens devront attendre. Si vous voulez faire entendre votre voix, signez la pétition sur siri4eu.com 📣 Partagez-la autour de vous. Plus nous serons nombreux, plus il sera difficile d’ignorer les utilisateurs européens ! #SiriAI #AppleIntelligence @ferrantelorenzo

Siri Ai sera-t-il disponible un jour en Europe ? dlvr.it/TT0bY1 #Siri #IA

Siri AI ne sera pas disponible en France sur iPhone cet automne. 🤔 Apple a proposé un déploiement progressif. 18 mois. Avec un système sécurisé. L'UE a tout refusé. Résultat : vous payez le même prix qu'un Américain. Pour un iPhone avec une IA bridée. Deuxième fois en deux ans. C'est Apple qui joue mal, ou l'UE qui protège mal ? #Siri #DMA #Apple #iOS27 #WWDC2026

Signez la pétition ! Montrons à l'Europe que nous ne sommes pas d'accord ! siri4eu.com/

Apple just announced the new Siri AI features are coming, but not to EU iPhone users. That shouldn’t be the outcome. I vibe-coded a website to gather signatures for EU iPhone users who want access to the new Siri AI features. Sign the petition: siri4eu.com

180,000 of you now. I satirize from the perspective of insiders who will never say these things out loud. Pentagon auditors. Hedge fund compliance officers. Health insurance denial architects. Congressional ethics staffers. Oil traders with 21-minute windows. HR directors who renamed layoffs. Surveillance vendors. Opioid settlement lawyers. Deportation logistics coordinators. AI safety researchers who watched the guardrails come off. To every subscriber who reads the quiet parts with me. To everyone who's left a comment, shared a post, or tagged someone with "this is literally my industry." You're the reason this work reaches the people it's about. I write confessions. You make them travel. The community interaction is genuinely the best part of this — not the numbers, but the replies where someone says "I thought I was the only one who noticed this." You weren't. You just didn't have a narrator yet. Thank you. The work continues because you keep showing up for it.

Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied. In Italy: - Walk into a bar and look at the guy - Un caffe - 30 seconds later it’s ready - Shoot it - Leave €1 - Walk out In the US: - Join a line - Wait - Order coffee - Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it? - $12.34 - Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip - Tap phone - ask where to send the invoice - Wait again on a different line - Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine - get the coffee - too hot, can't drink it - finally at temperature taste like shit
