So. The iPhone 12 radiation ☢️ thingy. I've been doing a lot of research into the matter for the technology podcast I'm on, and the main question is: are you in danger if you keep using the iPhone 12?

The short and clear answer is: NO.

The long answer is: there are a lot of moving parts, and it's all quite complex and error prone. Also, a lot of misinformation is being spread.

More in the 🧵.

It's not fashionable to talk about consuming less as a climate solution because our economy is based on selling us crap that no one needs.

"This pattern is self-replicating. Home ownership and housing wealth are the biggest drivers of the wealth divide within each generation, according to a new working paper by University of Bath economists Paul Gregg and Ricky Kanabar.

Hey, 60 bucks ain’t nothing. (Unless it’s way closer to nothing.)

Substack announces “over 20,000” writers on its platform have raised “over 1.2 million” from readers who’ve pledged to pay if said writers flip on their paywalls.

The creator economy, baby!

Yes, and I notice you are using a few dozen trackers. Turn off the trackers and I will look at your ads. Until then, we are at an impasse.

De geplande metrouitbreiding in #Brussel kost veel te veel en biedt te weinig in termen van #modalshift. De schade die nu aan en rond het #Zuidpaleis wordt aangericht is bovendien enorm groot.
Het platform Avanti heeft een alternatief plan klaar, dat ongetwijfeld nog niet volledig is, maar alvast meer op maat van de stad is.
