Terwijl jij er eentje knapt? 🦉😉

Mag de lente eerst ook nog? Alsjeblieft? Lente is zoveel leuker. 😄

YouTube video by Gabriella Quevedo (Michael Jackson) They Don't Care About Us - Gabriella Quevedo (LIVE)

Aparently it was her birthday yesterday! She turned 29, but here she was just 15. Such an amazing talent, definitely love Gabriella Quevedo!

It's also worth mentioning that she arranges almost every song she plays herself. It's amazing what talent with dedication can yield. She practises 4 hours a day with gorgeous results. Much love for her music and play.

Call your reps this January and tell them:

— NO to KOSA
— NO to Section 230 reform
— NO to the SCREEN Act
— NO to the App Store Accountability Act
— NO to the Parents Over Platforms Act
—NO “age verification” laws
—NO to digital ID systems

Congress is about to make a huge push into online ID verification, entrenching the power of big tech and mandating that they collect even MORE data on users. Mass surveillance/censorship laws are being framed as “child safety” but they’re really abt at removing LGBTQ ppl, repro justice info, etc.

Ook voor jou een wie je liefhebt een fijne jaarwisseling en een fabeltastisch 2026 toegewenst, Govert.

Met de snelheid van chaos? 😄

Als één wolf een kleuter aanraakt, moet hij dood en zijn soortgenoten verbannen. Als jaarlijks tientallen kinderen en jongeren zwaar verminkt raken, heet het verbod op vuurwerk 'overdreven regelzucht' en een aanval op onze 'vrijheid' en traditie.

ReCalibri They always make us do everything ourselves, anyway

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.

I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

😂 Wijn heb ik uiteraard ook in huis.

Veel conserven hoef je ook niet te koken. Omdat ik vaak last minute zakelijk van huis moet, had ik nog wel eens dat bij thuiskomst het één en ander bedorven was. Sindsdien heb ik ook bijvoorbeeld groenten in pot, knakworst, etc. in huis.

No need. Alles wat in zo’n noodpakket zit en meer heb ik al in huis.

In je bio “Ja, ALLE Daf-originals zijn echt.”?

Ha, wat leuk 🙂. Mijn opmerking van laatst inspireerde deze mooie bespreking van het originele verhaal van Frankenstein. Als je alleen een van de bewerkingen kent: het boek is anders & de moeite waard.

A slice of the 3D map of galaxies collected in the first year of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Survey with annotations identifying key features in the map. Earth is at the tip, with the furthest galaxies plotted at distances of 11 billion light-years. Each point represents one galaxy. This version of the DESI map includes 600,000 galaxies — less than 0.1% of the survey's full volume. Credit: DESI Collaboration/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/R. Proctor

Contrary to all those click-baity headlines about how cosmology is "broken," scientists are mostly frustrated that it's *not* obviously broken.

When we can find the real cracks, we'll have a path to deeper understanding. 🧪🔭

Think Twice Before Giving Surveillance for the Holidays With the holidays upon us, it's easy to default to giving the tech gifts that retailers tend to push on us this time of year: smart speakers, video doorbells, bluetooth trackers, fitness trackers,

Buying a tech gift for someone this year? Keep in mind what you're opting them into, and take the time to help set up any device you do get them as privately and securely as possible. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Als avond mens wil ik juist liever niet twee uur tegen mijn biologische klok in aan de dag beginnen om ochtend mensen tevreden te houden. Liever zo dicht mogelijk bij onze natuurlijke tijd leven waarin de zon weer het hoogst staat aan het begin van de middag. #teamutc

Saggiessss

Let's stalk everyone 24/7.

Every now and then I could swear that we (society) mainly learn how to screw up even better next time. “We survived last time, so what are you talking about?”

Snapchat, Roblox and Lloyds bank hit by Amazon Web Services internet outage - live updates Hundreds of sites including Zoom, Duolingo and Lloyds bank are affected - Amazon Web Services says it's fixed the underlying issue but a full recovery will take longer.

I’m not even going to mention the word redundancy 😂😜

This is your regularly scheduled message to USE SIGNAL

(I ditched whatsapp in 2014. yes, when Facebook bought it.)

Signal is secure and private - these are NOT THE SAME THING

(Whatsapp uses your metadata for spying and marketing)

And pay for Signal if you can. Best £10 p/month I spend.

Should corporations be able to weaponize your personal data to rip you off? Well, they may already be doing that thanks The Shady World of Surveillance Pricing (Ft. Lina Khan)

“Surveillance pricing,” or as it’s sometimes called, “personalized pricing,” is another way for corporations to pull one over on you.

Here to explain how it works (and what we can do about it) is former FTC chair Lina Khan. https://youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?si=GGq_tBcBaIR3_Wby
