Laatste F16's
De allerlaatste F16's stegen op vanuit de vliegbasis in Volkel. Het zijn de laatste twee F16's die Nederland aan Oekraïne levert.

What I would do if I would be able to let #bobDylan and #BobMarley meet and have a chat. If stars collide it will definitely be noticable

Happy to see some good things happening: #BobDylan continued his Never Ending Tour yesterday with 60+ more concerts planned this year, so far. Hope some new fans will be able to get some tickets to see him live after discovering him via the movie #ACompleteUnknown

Kabinet is al 8 maanden onderweg naar zelfs de contouren van dossier dat Nederland in wurggreep houdt zijn nog niet klaar. 'Stikstof-groep van Schoof haalt planning niet, uitstel plan tot 'voorjaar'' nos.nl/l/2560644
Stikstof-groep van Schoof haalt planning niet, uitstel plan tot 'voorjaar'
De premier kondigde in januari aan binnen twee maanden met een plan van aanpak voor de stikstofcrisis te komen. Hij was te optimistisch.

One of the reasons I like to sometimes get to write with my (electronic) typewriter. The slight shudder every time a character is printed on the paper makes it more real. Makes you push forward on the thought you started to type instead of going back to rewrite endlessly
VHS was cool because for a while, you had to slam the tray down, and that felt pretty badass, when it clicked in. Different feel, nobody cares now because they just go into slots and it's just data, frictionless. The friction was cool.

Working in the Energy industry for a couple of years now the most fascinating insight for me is: "At all times the electricity consumption and production must be equal." With solar panels in quite a large area producing 1000 times as much in a matter of minutes (clouds) this really is impressive.
There are things we take for granted like… electricity.

Learning about how electricity is created, transformed, transported, distributed in a way that it just “works” - and it’s fascinating.

So much complexity behind the scenes - yet most ppl never have to think about it.

I really hope we get easier migration. Not just data, also settings and connectivity. Make moving not a break but a continuation. I think we're not nearly there.
I shared my idea with ChatGPT about legislation in the EU to replace American software.
It got really excited and told me my idea is 100% achievable.

Key takeaways:
Demand will create the products.
With AI it can be done in months instead of years by small teams.

We're going to war. Maybe not with troops on the grounds, but in all other ways we are. The strange first emotion is "Hell yeah, let's show Russia that Ukraine is a free country" The 2nd thing that comes to mind is sadness. So much loss of people, culture and money that we needed for positive things
We are living in dangerous times.

Europe‘s security is threatened in a very real way.

Today I present ReArm Europe.

A plan for a safer and more resilient Europe ↓

I love this kind of stupid niche obsessions that turn out to be much more than just the thing they're obsessing around. Actually, the signs that are photographed are the least interesting part of the picture! A collection of rural and forgotten parts of America.
Seven years after starting this silly PBR sign project I landed this banger of a snapshot. #pbr #fujigfx

@fastned.bsky.social kunnen jullie me niet meer deze ongevraagde reclame sturen?

Hard to find a blog that isn't monitizing the shit out of it. Even harder to find is a real honest passion first website. In 1997 that was all there was, even banners were easy to block
I remember how the early internet was full of people's quirky little websites. Then it gradually became a mall. Now it feels like a distraction, disinformation, and surveillance machine.

I really miss Usenet and IRC, open protocols, no censoring, hardly any trolls that you couldn't get rid of via supported options like blocking. And anonymous if you wanted to, too.
I want to be clear: this isn’t nostalgia for dial-up modems and cliquey communities. It’s a call for open protocols, built on the lessons learned over the past two decades. We can have social media that doesn’t suck, forums that don’t suck, and search engines that don’t suck.

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop.

I want our World Wide Web back.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?
