Europe is banking on AI to help solve its economic problems. Productivity is stalling, and tech adoption is slow. Global competitors, especially the U.S., are pulling ahead. A new report from Accenture says AI could help reverse that trend, but only if European companies move faster and invest more boldly.

Right now, most are not. The report shows that only 8 percent of large AI investments aimed at transforming business operations have been scaled in Europe. Many organizations in Europe are stuck in pilot mode, with AI adoption often limited to short-term tools rather than long-term change. Smaller companies in particular are struggling to keep up, both in resources and in technical capability.

There is also a deeper question looming. As geopolitical tensions rise and U.S. control over cloud and AI infrastructure grows, can Europe build a more independent, secure AI ecosystem of its own?

In this blog post, we will explain the HTTP 408 Error Request Timeout and possible solutions to fix it.

After migrating my website from Blogger, I initially tried using WordPress’s native comment system, but I simply couldn’t stick with it—it lacks features and offers a limited experience. I considered Disqus’s paid plan, but after reviewing how it handles user data, I decided to seriously look for open source alternatives. That’s what led me to wpDiscuz.

I remember, during the early days of my distro-hopping journey, how excited I was to try systemd-free distros. Nitrux was the first one I tried—and despite the short experience, it felt unique.
More recently, Hyprland caught my attention, but I haven’t had the time to fully explore and learn it. Now feels like the perfect moment to try both Nitrux and Hyprland together. Why? Because the next Nitrux release is shipping with Hyprland, officially discontinuing its long-developed NX Desktop based on KDE Plasma.
But why is this happening? And why should you be excited about Nitrux Hyprland?
