Zou alternatief voor LinkedIn moeten worden.
Voorlopig is het er nog zeer rustig ...

I had a call from a scammer the other day
Me: “Hello.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Hello. This is Bob Bobson from Microsoft Support. We are seeing a lot of virus activity from your device.”
Me: “Oh no. My device? Are you sure?”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Oh yes, we have many reports.”
Me: “Oh jeez. How can I fix it?”>;
NOT-Microsoft support: “It’s OK sir. We can help you right now. Are you in front of your device sir?”
Me: “Yes. I was just about to use it. I’m glad you called.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes sir, we are going to help you. Can you please push the Start button?”
Me: “I think it's already on.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Okay, sir. Now you want to click on Control Panel.”
Me: “I don’t see that.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Do you see a bunch of information above the Start button?”
Me: “Yes.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “That is your Control Panel.”
Me: “Wow, I didn’t realize it had a name.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes sir, now press on Internet Options.”
Me: “Yeah, I definitely don’t see any Internet options. I don’t think I purchased that feature. This is just a cheap one.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “They all have the Internet sir. Press the Start button again.”
Me: “OK, it’s the same as before.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “That’s OK sir. We are going to restart your device. Can you please turn it off?”
Me: “Ummm…I don’t know how. I’ve never turned it off. Since I bought it, it just kind of stays on all the time.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “There must be an off button on your device. How do you stop it when it’s running?”
Me: “In those cases, I usually press the big button.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “OK sir. Please press that button.”
Me: “Ok.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Is your device off?”
Me: “No. The door popped open.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Door? Is there a disc inside the door?”
Me: “No, there’s a burrito.”
NOT-Microsoft support: “Why is there a burrito in your computer?”
Me: “Computer? I thought you said this was microwave support.”
Werkgeversorganisatie VOKA wil niet dat de spoorbrug over de Maas in Maastricht gesloopt wordt en roept de Vlaamse en federale regering op om daarover te onderhandelen met Nederland. De brug is een cruciaal onderdeel van spoorlijn 20 tussen Lanaken en Maastricht. Die goederenspoorlijn werd in 2020 definitief gesloten. "Dat was een historische vergissing, we hebben die spoorlijn nodig om onze economie te verbinden met de Euregio Maas-Rijn", zegt VOKA Limburg.
Onderzoek heeft dit aangetoond : "Bluesky now platform of choice for science community"
Migratie van Twitter naar Mastodon kwam blijkbaar niet aan bod in studie.

Hopelijk blijven we in België/Europa gespaard van wetten die age verification opleggen!
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
Hi @jon
Belgian newspaper De Standaard this weekend carries an article on a newly published book, about mini-Atomiums in Belgium.
