Fantastic news. The @knmi , which is the the Dutch national weather forecasting service, is allowed to ... forecast the weather.

For a long time commercial apps like #Buienradar prevented the KNMI - a public body - to show radar predictions of rain clouds in its app. They claimed it would amount to inappropriate intervention of the state in "their" market.

As a result, people were forced to use shitty commercial apps with gazillion cookies.

No more!

Eindelijk ook vooruitkijkende radarbeelden bij het KNMI! https://www.knmi.nl/over-het-knmi/nieuws/rtms-gewijzigd/ De daarvoor benodigde gegevens beheert het KNMI (en andere Europese meteo instituten) sowieso al. Maar tot voor kort mocht het KNMI dus geen vooruitkijkende radarbeelden naar buiten brengen. Dat hadden marktpartijen, die hun producten maken op basis van publieke gegevens, zo bedongen. Meteen downloaden dus, die @[email protected] app!

Dein Thread hat mich an einen Text über den Effekt von Schreiben mit KI erinnert

"[AI/LLM] is the trap. That is the psychological warfare. They are selling you a solution to a problem they created. They want you to feel insecure. If you feel insecure, you pay the subscription. They are strip-mining your confidence to sell you back a synthetic version of it."

Devious Pocket: standalone, simple digital vinyl from any turntable - CDM Create Digital Music

Skip the laptops and loads of proprietary hardware with an ultra-simple, portable, affordable add-on that turns any turntable into a digital vinyl turntable. That's the pitch from NAP Works for crowdfunded, compact hardware built on open-source tech. It might do more than just impress digital vinyl DJs: this has the potential to win over even the CDJ crowd.

En daar gaat er weer een... Threema is overgenomen door een investeringsmaatschappij.

We weten wat dat betekent: het moet geld gaan verdienen en dus volgt enshittification.

Ik raad nogmaals Matrix aan als vervanger voor WhatsApp en Signal (ja, ook Signal)

Investeringsmaatschappij neemt Zwitserse privacychatdienst Threema over

Investeringsmaatschapij Comitis Capital heeft Threema overgenomen. Threema is een betaalde versleutelde chatdienst voor consumenten en bedrijven. Comitis denkt dat Threema de komende tijd kan groeien, onder meer omdat er nu meer focust ligt op digitale soeveriniteit.
