Voor iedere kilometer weg die we nog bouwen, moeten we er minstens twee afbreken. “Een noodzakelijke hersteloperatie”, stelt architect Tim Vekemans. Volgens fietsprofessor Marco te Brömmelstroet is het na jaren van automatisch asfalteren tijd voor ‘infrastructurele Jenga’: weghalen wat weg mag en de ruimte echt openbaar maken.

“Wegen wegnemen is minder radicaal dan een landschap betonneren”

Architect Tim Vekemans en fietsprofessor Marco te Brömmelstroet doorbreken de verhardingscultuur.

I rarely subtoot, but when I do just to say: if an open source project that your commercial project depends on breaks something in your software stack, causing you trouble, no matter how much, that's your problem and your problem alone.

"The software is provided as is" is a part of OSS licenses for a reason, and unless we have a contract that says otherwise, I'm not part of your bloody "supply chain".

@aesthr @filippo Agreed. Any mistake in code I wrote isn't my responsibility to fix, if you use it via a FOSS licence. Once you obtain any source code, it is your job to check it, port it, fix it, fork it and maintain it if you want to use it without error. This attitude of it's a "free for all buffet" of "zero consequences" for me because I forked or used your code is borderline derangement. Reading the licence agreement and taking ownership of what you use is how it's always worked

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?'

Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

Extra defensiebudget onrealistisch? "De kosten van oorlog liggen veel hoger, dat proberen we te voorkomen"

Extra defensiebudget onrealistisch? "De kosten van oorlog liggen veel hoger, dat proberen we te voorkomen" | VRT NWS: nieuws

Als we nu niet investeren in defensie, dreigen we later veel meer te moeten betalen. Dat zegt Rob Bauer, ex-topmilitair binnen de NAVO. "We geven dat geld niet uit om oorlog te voeren, maar om het te voorkomen. Mocht het wel tot oorlog komen, dan liggen de kosten veel hoger."

"Where have you been for the last 20 years?" - The question that changed everything. This isn't a BSDCan report, but a personal reflection on how impostor syndrome stole decades from me, and why it's never too late to find your community and live life fully.
