Like #boardgames ? A bit hard to get that Terra Mystica and Vinci to the table?

Play online and asynchronously (or real time if you can arrange it with your gaming mates) with like minded humans on a free site with hundreds of licensed games.

It's free! And there's no advertising!

I have no connection to the site except as a very pleased user over decades!

https://www.yucata.de/en for some fun and a fantastic community!

Hallo, ik ben opzoek naar een voordelige manier om mijn #tuin, nu nog zandbak, enigszins #groen in te richten (plm 6 x 4 meter). Ik dacht simpelweg graszoden, maar dit is helaas voor mij te duur gezien er eerst zand moet worden afgegraven, en tuinaarde aangeleverd.

Heeft iemand ervaring met kunstgras van Action? Hoelang gaat dit mee / blijft het mooi? Moet je het afdekken in de winter? Is het de moeite waard?

Andere suggesties ook welkom. Bijvoorbaat dank! :)

Maarten! magazine: Turkse en Marokkaanse arbeidsmigranten kwamen hier omdat ondernemers dringend op zoek waren naar arbeidskrachten.
Gezinshereniging kon rekenen op enthousiasme van conservatieven en liberalen. PvdA en SP waren tegen de komst van gastarbeiders.
----
Maar (extreem)rechtse partijen wijzen al jaren naar 'de linkse elite' die immigratie georganiseerd zou hebben.🙄

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

Rampant growth of satellite mega constellations could ruin the night sky

Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

De overheid is nog steeds van plan de btw-berekeningen over te laten aan een Amerikaans extern softwarebedrijf. Hier nog meer achtergrond over wat er gaande is en waarom dit een heel stom idee is: https://www.computable.nl/2026/03/09/dit-uitbestedingsproject-voor-omzetbelasting-moet-koste-wat-kost-stoppen/

EFF is appalled by how quickly and uncritically internet restrictions are being adopted around the world, David Greene told CNET. "Even if they are under 18, or under 16, children have the right to access information, to speak and to associate.” https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/indonesia-social-media-ban-under-16/

Indonesia to Ban YouTube, TikTok, Other Social Media Apps for Children Under 16

Indonesia is the latest country to block social media, saying the apps pose "increasingly real threats" to young people.
