Wie wilde hier in NL ook alweer het luchtalarm afschaffen?

"Het systeem zou onder andere hebben voorzien in waarschuwingssirenes, in plaats van enkel sms’jes in het gebied waar de dekking voor mobiel verkeer nogal wat gaten vertoont. Deze sms-waarschuwingen werden afgelopen donderdagnacht pas even na 1 uur ’s nachts verstuurd, waardoor velen ze pas lazen toen ze wakker werden en het al te laat was"

"Na de overstroming in Texas is het vingerwijzen op gang gekomen"

Eerst was er nog kritiek op Faber die vrijwilligers geen lintje wilde geven, nu zijn diezelfde vrijwilligers strafbaar. Goed gezien.

While this cartoon is probably referencing a particular activist group in the UK, it tends to hold true for others, protesting different issues non violently around the world.

Sander Schimmelpenninck:
Omtzigt en YesilgΓΆz bewijzen dat het nooit goed met je afloopt als je je inlaat met extreemrechts.

Dat de VVD met een eigen Liz Truss de verkiezingen ingaat, is vooral voor het CDA goed nieuws, maar minder voor Nederland. Dankzij de VVD en NSC heeft extreemrechts straks een derde van het parlement in handen, genoeg om een land te terroriseren en autocratiseren.

With both poles observing unusually low sea ice conditions, global sea ice extent is the 2nd lowest on record for today's date...

More sea ice graphics available at zacklabe.com/global-sea-ice-ex. Data from National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).

Line graph time series of 2025's daily global sea ice extent in red shading compared to each year from 1979 to 2024 using shades of purple to white for each line. There is substantial interannual and daily variability. Seasonal cycles are visible. A disclaimer is shown, which states: Trends/variability in Arctic and Antarctic sea ice are affected by very different atmospheric/oceanic processes and opposite seasonality!

It's only censorship if you dislike it, right?

A post from @ToriGlass 

as a kid i remember distinctly being told by adults how awful it was that kids in the soviet union couldn't learn real history, they could only learn state sanctioned propaganda.

these exact same people are now advocating for banning books and history in the US.

Het frame van #YesilgΓΆz dat bij een machtige GL-PvdA het bedrijfsleven weggepest zal worden klopt niet. Het CPB heeft berekend dat de economische groei groter zal zijn bij uitvoering van GL-PvdA-beleid.

Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to β€œEnable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click β€œNo,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.

THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.

I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

@PizzaDemon In one month, StarLink deorbits as many satellites as Iridium ever had simultaneously operational. In two months, as many satellites as Iridium ever sent up.

The vast majority of satellites up there are StarLink. Other objects just aren't relevant in comparison.

The main threat to StarLink is StarLink, and the main benefactor of StarLink's collision avoidance is StarLink. But if it fails, we all suffer.

An XKCD web comic, 6 panels:

Panel 1: person sitting in front of a computer, typing. A friend says: "YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WRITE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A FUTURE EMPLOYER MIGHT READ IT."

Panel 2: typing guy replies: "WHEN DID WE FORGET OUR DREAMS?" and friend replies "WHAT?"

Panel three, two small people at the bottom, the typing guy says to his friend: "THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES EACHDAY HOLDS SHOULD STAGGER THE MIND. THE SHEER NUMBER OF EXPERIENCES I COULD HAVE 15 UNCOUNTABLE, BREATHTAKING, AND I'M SITTING HERE REFRESHING MY INBOX. WE LIVE TRAPPED IN LOOPS, RELIVING A FEW DAYS OVER AND OVER, AND WE ENVISION ONLY A HANDFUL OF PATHS LAID OUT AHEAD OF US. WE SEE THE SAME THINGS EACH DAY, WE RESPOND THE SAME WAY, WE THINK THE SAME THOUGHTS, EACH DAY A SLIGHT VARIATION ON THE LAST, EVERY MOMENT SMOOTHLY FOLLOWING THE GENTLE CURVES OF SOCIETAL NORMS. WE ACT LIKE IF WE JUST GET THROUGH TODAY, TOMORROW OUR DREAMS WILL COME BACK TO US.

AND NO, I DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO JOLT MYSELF INTO SEEING WHAT EACH MOMENT COULD BECOME. BUT I DO KNOW ONE THING: THE SOLUTION DOESNT INVOLVE WATERING DOWN MY EVERY LITTLE IDEA AND CREATIVE IMPULSE FOR THE SAKE OF SOMEDAY EASING MY FIT INTO AMOLD. IT DOESN'T INVOLVE TEMPERING MY LIFE TO BETTER FIT SOMEONE'S EXPECTATIONS. IT DOESN'T INVOLVE CONSTANTLY HOLDING BACK FOR FEAR OF SHAKING THINGS UP.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT SO I WANT TO SAY IT AS CLEARLY AS I CAN:"

Panels 4-6: the guy typing says "FUCK. THAT. SHIT."
