@bigbelgianbopper Indeed, what is the difference with Enron (and Lernhout & Hauspie at home)?

I will renew my Disney+ subscription when Kimmel is back on air, AND after I get a refund on the autobiography of Iger. After inspection it seems not to have the adverted spine. #disney #iger

Decentralisation is the biggest enemy of authoritarianism. So #SelfHost. Buy solar and batteries. Heat pumps. Get an electric car. Electric bicycles. Use #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware. Store your data at home. Get a Canon Selphy to print the pictures you take. Buy books. Vinyl or CDs. Join your local library. Do. Don’t discuss. And help your neighbours to do the same things. Sharing is caring. Avoid getting lost in discussions about what’s best. Do. Fail. Share. Learn. Repeat. 1/4

@Proximus hoe komt het dat het doorspoelen van TV-programma’s nu hat activeren van Replay+ vergt?

Daar zijn we dan van af 👋🏻

Just discovered libro.fm
An audible-like subscription experience for audiobooks, but DRM-free and supporting the local bookstore rather than the guy with the rockets-hobby. https://libro.fm/story

This is the most helpfully packaged box of screws I've ever seen, by a large margin. I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate whomever was responsible for such a triumph of utility and empathy.

Box of screws, clearly showing dimensions in metric and imperial, contents count, 1:1 scale of size, materials, appropriate driver bit, and suitable drills bit types and sizes, and wall plug size range, for each type of surface.

In een alternatieve werkelijkheid was Netlog succesvol. Hoe zou de wereld er dan uitzien? En zou Musk dan de Gentse neuzen-oorlog op de spits gedreven hebben? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netlog

I take spending clues from Elon: after buying a Skoda over a Tesla, I now started a monthly donation to Wikipedia. https://donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?country=BE&title=Special:LandingPage&uselang=en-gb&wmf_campaign=spontaneous&wmf_medium=spontaneous&wmf_source=fr-redir

Uiteraard, wie had dat kunnen voorspellen 🙄😡

Request: Next time, please make the analyses of how the weird guy could win *before* the election. Thanks.

That’s exactly how my pantry looks like 👍🏻 #meta #orion

Mexican nutrition labels. Eat this, nutri-score… (pun intended)

Is it me, or do browsers not yet embrace the world of SaaS? Eg: I find myself creating new tabs each time I need to find something in Notion, ending up with an overload of open tabs. I have the impression that neither my browser (egde, because vertical tabs) nor MacOS really help navigating this more effectively.

Averages are mean.

Trump wants to undermine the US's vaccination programs. As a professional epidemiologist, I can tell you what will happen if we do that. It doesn't take a lot of imagination. The curve at right is child mortality in the US over the past 200+ years. Much of the decline you see is due to vaccination.
