De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper published an interview with a woman claiming to organise her own evacuation flights from Dubai, promoting seats at €1,600. Bellingcat found that the image in the interview was likely AI-generated, and flight-tracking data suggests no such plane took off.

AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat

A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.

I built a small Obsidian plugin to solve one of my biggest frustrations with folders: With a normal folder hierarchy, a note can only live in one place. If you write a note about something that belongs to multiple topics, where do you put it?

Tag Explorer solves this by generating a file structure from (nested) tags. Instead of forcing notes into a single folder, the same note can show up in multiple places based on its tags.

"The biggest bird killer in the US (and likely, the world) is #Cats. Outdoor cats kill somewhere between 1.3 billion and 4 billion birds a year in the US alone. Let’s put it this way: for every one bird that dies in the blades of a turbine, domestic cats are dragging roughly 4,000 back to the porch."

De #meshcore repeater die we sinds vorige week bij #iHub hebben staan op de 19 etage van het Erasmusgebouw op de Radboud Universiteit lijkt het goed te doen. We kunnen hiermee vanuit Nijmegen in één hop met Den Bosch en Utrecht verbinden!

LUGN157 - dinsdag 9 september 2025

here's a few settings you may wish to consider for your firefox's about:config page.

browser.ml.chat.enabled = false
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts = false
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom = false
browser.ml.chat.sidebar = false
browser.ml.enable = false
extensions.ml.enabled = false

if your firefox is recent enough, you might want these to disable AI tab groups too (thanks @ilmari!)

browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled = false
browser.tabs.groups.smart.optin = false
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled = false

Zeker, dat kan met Yivi. Yivi heeft ook al lang privacy-vriendelijke leeftijdsverificatie draaiend, zie:

Ook daar zou NL gebruik van kunnen maken.

De rest van de wereld binnenkort ook, trouwens, want paspoort uitlezen komt als gegevensbron in Yivi.
