@Pentaxke @karelbrits Met kinderen in de auto is het altijd extra opletten dat de concentratie op de weg blijft. Soms is dat echt moeilijk, zeker als je als enige ouder in de auto zit.

@maesjoch Je bent nu officieel influencer, ik heb hierdoor juist bonen besteld!

"An unprecedented humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Gaza. MSF is clear: We are witnessing Israel commit genocide."

"The UK Government is complicit in these atrocities."

@bart Hoe extremer hoe beter, hoe kwader iedereen hoe beter!

Als een mening er enkel is om clicks te generen of om mensen boeken te laten lezen door controverse vraag ik mij wel af of het nuttig is die te publiceren.

Het probleem is natuurlijk dat we nooit zeker kunnen zijn dat dit is waar iemand mee bezig is, maar ik vind sommige standpunten zo extreem van de pot gerukt dat ik geen andere verklaring meer kan vinden...

@herbert_tiemens Haha mooi gedaan! 👌

Massive demonstration for Gaza and against genocide today in Brussels.

75.000 participants according to the police, and 110.000 according to organisers.

Inspired by the Dutch sister demo, “Draw a Red Line for Gaza” was the largest demonstration in Belgium for years.

Fedi friends in #geospatial / #GIS / #OpenStreetMap!

I am looking for some more contracting work. I can be your OpenStreetMap domain expert / trainer / community liaison, I can help you with geospatial APIs / data modeling / ELT, I can consult with you on geospatial technology or product strategy.

I prefer longer term engagements, but if you just want a week or two of my time to work through a smaller project, that's great too.

You can find my résumé here: https://ma.rtijn.org/

@harry_wood Did you stop at diggerland on the way? That was a big success with our three year old (and also mum and dad 😅)

Whatever you wish on Palestinians, I wish on you and your family.

Whatever you wish on Israelis, I wish on you and your family.

Whatever you wish on Ukrainians, I wish on you and your family.

Whatever you wish on Russians, I wish on you and your family.

No, this is 10,000,000% wrong.

This is how you end up with a group of irrelevant insiders developing an impenetrable argot and scolding outsiders for "misusing" "their" words.

It's a self-inflicted wound. Anyone who cares about changing the world should meet people where they are, rather than policing their use of technical terminology.

it's a pilkunnussija suicide-pact

@wannesss @karelbrits @repo Ik denk dat de geest uit de fles is, dit jaar hadden ze nog iets kunnen doen maar ik vrees dat het songfestival hier nog moeilijk van gaat kunnen terugkomen.

Reputatie naar de vaantjes en vanaf nu is elk jaar een politiek spel.

Today, everyone knows what’s happening in #Gaza. Israel has been committing atrocities - war crimes, crimes against humanity, acts of genocide… The new plan makes Israel's intentions even more obvious.

Other countries have obligations that are just as obvious… https://www.hrw.org/the-day-in-human-rights/2025/05/15?story=paragraph-10790

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has lost access to his (Microsoft) email and bank accounts. Prosecutions are faltering now. This all due to US sanctions. 'Microsoft did not respond to a request for comments'. Yet European governments are collectively moving their email and files to Microsoft, risking similar problems if they ever upset the US administration. https://apnews.com/article/icc-trump-sanctions-karim-khan-court-a4b4c02751ab84c09718b1b95cbd5db3

feeling grateful for @Codeberg today -- it works well, is dependable, good alternative to github

there's a lot of tech focus on "innovation", but doing something ordinary and doing it well is so valuable

The tech industry is a teenage industry. Rebelling against what it sees as old and uncool while desperately following fads and fashions as it tries to fit in with what everyone else is doing.

Voor iedereen die het nog niet moest weten, bij deze een samenvatting van al die horror! 🤮

Hallucinant om te lezen, ik ben niet helemaal aan het einde geraakt.

In 15 minutes Europe will hopefully launch its next climate satellite. The launch can however only be watched via YouTube since we apparently can’t do that ourselves and have to put our government info next to the antivax promo. https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/ESA_Web_TV

My mother used to #photograph with film rolls for #slides. And the fun thing about slides is, that colours are kept relatively well. Recently I found this photo (that I scanned) of the Kaiser Franz Josef Höhe and the Gross Glockner. It's from the late 1960s. I recognised that building. I've been there on my #cycling trip last year.

Spot the differences..

People are facing jail sentences for giving water to the thirsty and food to the hungry.

This is happening in the EU.

How did our authorities become so disconnected from the most fundamental instincts of human decency?
