Inspired by Germany's #DiDay ("digital independence day") and the Danish #DanmarkSkifter, the Netherlands now has #DoeiDag ("bye day"), every first Sunday of the month. 🔥🇳🇱

DoeiDag is a montly day to say goodbye to big tech and to try open alternatives. It's organized by the good folks of @doeidag

Wat doet onze #overheid op #Twitter/#x?

En dan te bedenken dat zij al een platform hebben waar ze zelf aan het stuur staan! Social.overheid.nl

Game changer: als de #NOS niet tweets meer gaat embedden in artikelen en ĂĽberhaupt eens begint met embeds vanaf #mastodon of met screenshots en bron.

Maar laat nou net social.omroep.nl alweer gestopt zijn, want publieke taak niet al te serieus nemen als er ook een racisme-facisme-kinder-uitkleed platform is…

First two day conference since a while. Forgot how crowded and draining these can be. Had some fun diving into the #java ecosystem though.
Still wondering what the architecture looks like for companies with tens of teams.

For some god-awfully dumb sycophantic reason both Danish and Dutch news today report on the "extremely high gas prizes in the USA".

Just for context. Petrol in the USA is currently just a bit over one euro per liter.

Our glaciers are melting.

Lake Tahoe isn’t sure where it’s power will come from after the next ski season

The area’s longtime power supplier, NV Energy, will cut off the region next year. It has said data centers are driving “unprecedented” demand.

Allow me to introduce #MLL coding, the counterpart to #LLM vibe coding. MLL (Manual Labor of Love) coding allows one to spend more time doing a thing, and lets one get better, faster, and 100% understood code.

It really bums me out that I keep seeing blog posts from technical people like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical implications of LLMs, I'm interested in evaluating whether they can be useful for my work."

Like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical concerns of breaking into my neighbours' houses, I'm interested in evaluating whether this can be useful for acquiring other people's valuables."
