In the men's restroom, someone punched a hole in the wall. The staff decided not to repair the hole, but to frame it... #art

I keep saying journalists should leave Twitter and use Mastodon, which is better for them in every way. At TechDirt I've posted a somewhat lengthy why-and-how: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/04/journalists-and-others-should-leave-twitter-heres-how-they-can-get-started/

Journalists (And Others) Should Leave Twitter. Here’s How They Can Get Started

Summary: Elon Musk has demonstrated contempt for free speech in general, and journalism in particular, with his behavior at Twitter. He is also demonstrating why it is foolhardy for anyone to rely …

A reminder that on Mastodon you are the algorithm. If you’re seeing content you don’t want, block or filter it out. Boost things you want more of. You control what you see. It’s better than trying to control others. Focus on curating the kind of feed you’re interested in.

If you don’t want to see politics, unfollow people who post or boost a lot about politics.

The #birdsite is very passive in terms of what it demands from you. Mastodon isn’t. It’s a mind shift but it’s a good one to make.

Some cool geeky stuff my very capable collegues have been working on at #EUROCONTROL in #brussels.

In this case using #machinelearning on #cloudera to reconstruct military airplane approach trajectories.

#brussels has linked rent indexation to the energy efficiency of the rented place this year. Bad EPB rating means lower or no indexation. This was done to alleviate cost of living for 2023.

I think this should become permanent. Owners currently have zero incentive to improve their properties and generally don't care since...well..they don't really have to.

Nieuwe berekeningsmethode voor de huurprijsindexering gebaseerd op het EPB - Brussel Huisvesting

Een ordonnantie tot wijziging van het indexeringssysteem voor een periode van 12 maanden is op 14 oktober 2022 in werking getreden. Het indexeringspercentage voor de huurprijzen zal voortaan variëren afhankelijk van de energieprestatie van het pand in kwestie. Er zijn eveneens nieuwe verplichtingen ingevoerd waaraan bij iedere indexering moet zijn voldaan. De nieuwe ordonnantie beoogt […]

Big milestone passed in #Brussels yesterday: nearly 2 million cyclists counted on the Rue de la Loi this year, an otherwise car-clogged, pollution-drenched and soul-less street.

The city installed separated infrastructure during the pandemic, and the results are as expected: build it, and people will ride.

Bike infrastructure matters. Build more of it.
