Supercool docu on social media & mobile use by Ella Aafjes (Dutch; subtitled in English). Highly recommended insight in the live of a young woman & how she dealt with her phone addiction.

Yesterday afternoon I took part in the 'From Soil to Servers' workshop @cc_utrecht by Sunjoo Lee, Fieke Jansen & @kaeru

Very inspiring to see bacteria in mud producing electricity. Enough to power an AtTiny85 MCU, or a small clock. Great for powering kinetic art, sensors, tiny lights & to reflect on energy use.

If only we could grow the electrical components as well...

Nou was ik ook op een hogeschool deze week en ik herken de situatie uit dit stuk en ik ben er ook kapot van: https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/03/27/ik-ben-een-docent-in-rouw-a4923444?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=clipboard&utm_campaign=share&utm_term=share-modal&gift_token=4923444~1775222592~xaUY7O7bRbydGeZo43Zzfw~iwgi55PDYH4-jrpmRf8N7a7ivwCGRxeOQCep5NKO-r4

Opinie | Ik ben een docent in rouw

AI: Schrijven, mijn beroep, mijn roeping, verliest aan betekenis. En het onderwijs, waar ik ooit vol idealen en inspiratie in stapte, dreigt een intensief samenwerkingsverband met Sam Altman en consorten te worden, schrijft Merel Kamp.

I didn't realize the facebook execs Mozilla acqui-hired last year have been promoted! I was assuming they were still just heading the ads division of Mozilla, but oh boy, I fucking wish.

Now the former Senior VP of Marketing of facebook (2008-2022, the finest years of facebook) is the CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER of the entire Mozilla.

And the former VP of Ads in Facebook (2012-2022), is now the Senior VP of Product of Mozilla.

Let me repeat this:

The guy who used to lead the facebook team that was literally "advertising to teenagers based on their emotional state" is now the guy who decides the direction of Firefox as a product. But hey, let's keep giving Mozilla the benefit of the doubt uh? I'm sure these people-who-should-be-on-trial-in-the-hague are going to do great things for the community!

edit: Bradwood has been promoted to Chief Business Officer of the Mozilla Corporation, not Chief Financial Officer, my bad

edit2: as @[email protected] pointed out, even if Graham Mudd's title is "SVP of Product", the bio in his page talks about him as the SVP of Product for the Mozilla Ads division specifically. So it may be the case that he hasn't been promoted and he's just on top of the ad division. That being said, Mozilla doesn't have a Chief Product Officer anymore, and that makes Mudd the most senior product person in the entire Mozilla organization, outranking the VP that seems to be org-wide.

Nu de meeste scholen een "thuis🏡 of in de kluis" beleid hebben voor smartphones 📱, proberen adverteerders met beeldschermen op school alsnog de aandacht 👀 van leerlingen te verkopen €€€.

Een school is geen markt! Teken de petitie:

If one definition of evil is its wanton destruction of everything that is good and whole in the world, then Google is an active agent of evil.

It is setting out to destroy the world wide web and steal the livelihood of everyone who builds and depends on the web.

I honestly don't know how to mobilise normies to care about and stop this evil. It probably seems too niche and incremental until it's too late.

Oh yeah, and in the UK an ex-Google exec is now running the BBC. . .

Cancelled our subscription to #Qobuz.

It worked well enough for my usage, but sadly not for the kids:

- Lack of lyrics
- Connection issues with Android App, Denon Heos & Bluetooth speakers.
- Missing some artists / tracks
- Lack of Linux support (app)

Issues with Android app & connections seemed to be solved now, at least on my phone, but they're not willing to switch just now.

Btw Qobuz with our monthly Family plan was also €7 p/month more expensive than #Spotify.

One for the #maker and maybe #3dprinting community: where can I get sheet metal laser cut, and optionally bent, drilled/tapped, and/or coated in Germany or Europe? Or is it still cheaper to do it from China?

I don't need a lot and I can make the 3D models without problems. I just need a reasonably priced and easy enough to work with supplier.

#retoot appreciated
