België, koop Amerikaanse F-35's!
Die kunnen Amerikaanse kernbommen smijten.
Op bevel van de Amerikaanse president, zonder dat België daar enige democratische controle over heeft.
F-35, het duurste vliegtuig ooit dat je geen controle geeft over de software.
Betaal het met Belgisch belastinggeld!
Honestly, all of this has played out earlier. We got back from the cold war brink through the OSCE negotiations.

Hard disagree, because this framing plays into the "view the world only in military terms" narrative that is pushed everywhere nowadays.
We need to invest in diplomacy, multilateral negotiations. We don't need to havr the biggest stick. Thats called an arms race.
Jesus fucking christ dit is deprimerend.

Hahahaha iemand begrijpt niet dat vakbonden ontstaan zijn omdat werkers anders als citroenen uitgeperst worden 😅

I know installing Linux is a big leap.
But you can try it out with no consequences, takes 10min:
- grab a USB stick you dont need
- download Linux from linuxmint.com (follow the instructions)
- reboot your PC from that USB stick.
You can click around, surf, open some files,... See if you like it.

Problem solved.
Activists: all of these use slave labour at some point in their supply chain.

Yesterday in the 🇪🇺Parliament, EPP MEP Hohlmeier campaigned against NGO funding from the EU - and faced critical questions on her own conflict of interest.
🥜Guess what: Financial resources NGOs get through LIFE are peanuts compared to those of industry lobby groups

Insane disinfo going on with this issue. Don't be fooled. Dont let them make this into a "well both sides are doing it". This is not what's happening.

New findings show that EPP MEP Monika Hohlmeier, who is leading attacks on NGOs being funded via the EU's LIFE Programme, has a glaring conflict of interest 🚨
Hohlmeier is on the payroll of BayWa, a corporation that received €6.5 million funding from LIFE 🤯

Logo of Corporate Europe Observatory at the top left corner, at the bottom left corner there is the URL www.corporateeurope.org and at the bottom right one the logos of social media networks instagram, Facebook, mastodon and bluesky. The word “Report” is highlighted and then followed by the bigger words: “Chemical reaction”, followed by the subtitle, in smaller font: “Inside the corporate fight against the EU’s PFAS restriction” At the right of the words is an infinity mathematical sign, an Erlenmeyer flask and the representation of PFAS molecules. The background of the image is green.
Our new report shows how EU's proposal to restrict #PFAS is at risk of being hijacked, despite all evidence of its disastrous consequences
We need a lobby firewall to protect PFAS decision-making from corporate lobbying

I never never never get tired of Cory Doctorows stories. Just listened to the novella Spill on his podcast feed. The intersection of nerdy hacker culture and climate activism? Yes! A thousand times yes!
Go listen!

cartoon making a satire of the UN Climate talks
We’ve been working on a series of cartoons about how the UN climate negotiations have been captured by the interests of the fossil fuel industry. Where are the climate justice activists, indigenous communities, people from the most affected areas, trade unionists?
Here's a 🧵 about it! 👇
I tried and failed to get my kid's elementary school to adopt Linux and Mac OS.
They were open to it, until they heard a pitch from some guy who went "well Linux is cool and all, but you have to be _realistic_".
Turns out his brother works for Microsoft 🤗
