Sweet, that guy in the back of a Ridgerunner already pretty much has the perfect pose for a casualty.

Hebben we te veel rijke mensen in Nederland of wat?

Dit gaat over de oprichter van Thuisbezorgd. Ik had verwacht dat hij met een vermogen van €330 miljoen wel in de top 10 van de Quote 500 zou staan, maar het is slechts goed voor een schamele 202de plek!
«In de AFM-registers zien we dat het Quote 500-lid enkele weken geleden al zijn stukken heeft verkocht. Wel blijft Groen nog aan als CEO van het bedrijf. In de jongste Quote 500 schatten we het vermogen van Groen op dankzij het bod van Prosus op €330 miljoen, goed voor plek 202.»

My son told me yesterday that "I'm being carried by contrast paints"…

I don't know what all these words mean.

Anyway here's an Uthar the Destined WIP.

«Goede column van @jarlvanderploeg.bsky.social vandaag over roken en vapen. En WTF, hij kreeg een dreigbrief van Philip Morris!»

www.volkskrant.nl/columns-van-...
«PS Aangezien ik na een vorige column over dit onderwerp een boze brief kreeg van de directie van Philip Morris waarin stond dat ze ‘verdere stappen’ jegens mij ‘niet uitsluiten’, moet ik tot slot helaas een kleine juridische disclaimer toevoegen: uiteraard zijn niet alle tabaksfabrikanten zo gewetenloos als hierboven beschreven. Sommige zijn namelijk nog veel erger.»

Some nice games again at Tabletop Kingdom The Hague yesterday evening!

Lost 47-52 with my Genestealer Cult against Death Guard, but at least I didn't forget to use most of my abilities this time!

#WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer40k #Nerdlings
Genstealer Cult vs Death Guard in the front and Orks vs, I think, Space Marines in the background. Black Legion vs Ultramarines in the front and Tau vs Kaiju Tyranids in the back. Old World Trolls vs ???

Aaand, #ChatControl is back!

Even sooner than expected.

Headline: Danish 'dilemma' as it tries to strike EU deal on 'chat control' by December  "Denmark, currently holding the six-month rotating EU Council presidency, will launch bilateral talks with fellow member states opposing the controversial proposal to combat online child sexual abuse material (CSAM), in a bid to close the file before the end of the year."

How far is the EU with a unified payment system so people do not have to rely on Apple or Google and can also use other platforms like #SailfishOS?

hachyderm.io/@datarama/11...
«I live in Denmark. It is very hard to get by in daily life without an Android or Apple device. I tried, for many years, until my current employer gave me a work phone (which runs Android). There is an ubiquitous payment app that has largely replaced cash. It won't run on anything but an Apple or Android device. If you use public transit (which I do), you can currently use a plastic card with readers mounted in buses, trains and stations. But this will be phased out next year and replaced with an app that only runs on Apple or Android devices. You will effectively no longer be able to use public transit unless you own an Apple or Android device. There is a national authentication system (used by banks, public authorities, etc.) which *can* currently be used with a little token you can have in your pocket (one which displays numbers, and one which reads them aloud, for blind citizens) ... but you can't set it up without using an Apple or Android device. There have been talks about phasing out the code tokens entirely, so the only option to authenticate yourself with public authorities requires owning an Apple or Android device. And all of this won't run on eg. a Fairphone with elementaryOS, because all the Android versions use Google's "authenticity verification" features, effectively locking out anything not fully controlled by Google. It feels like living in a kind of digital vassal state fully colonized by two foreign tech giants.»

I'm mostly a "glue them altogether and then paint them" kinda guy but for the Brokhyr Thunderkyn this was close to impossible, so I snipped off his little hands.

Om even in te haken op Bert zijn goede artikel: voor diegenen die denken dat ze niks te verbergen hebben…

Zo werkt het, helaas voor je, niet in een dictatuur. (En ja, Wilders¹ zal een Trumpje doen als hij de kans krijgt.)

Screenshot of text that says: Being Innocent Won’t Protect You This is vital to understand. Surveillance systems and sorting algorithms make mistakes. This is apparent in the fact that we are routinely served advertisements for products that don’t interest us at all. Those mistakes are relatively harmless—who cares about a poorly targeted ad?—but a similar mistake at an immigration hearing can get someone deported. An authoritarian government doesn’t care. Mistakes are a feature and not a bug of authoritarian surveillance. If ICE targets only people it can go after legally, then everyone knows whether or not they need to fear ICE. If ICE occasionally makes mistakes by arresting Americans and deporting innocents, then everyone has to fear it. This is by design.

Haha, yes, I actually sent the picture below to my family while the train was at Chambery.

But I wasn't complaining. I prefer longer travel times to an increased number of transfers.
A map showing a red line from Turin to Chambery and a red line from Chambery to Paris. Both lines are marked with a "3", indicating three hours of travel time.

A Dutch bank (Triodos Bankieren NL) has added explicit support for GrapheneOS and will be testing it going forward: They join a growing number of banking apps actively permitting users to use a much more secure device instead of trying to ban it instead.
