Social entrepreneur. I think about how to progress things the world needs more of: science, human rights, open-source, privacy, open data, fairtrade, equality and nature!
Open-source
Privacy
ESG
Human rights

Linux is good now. The author had enough of Windows and Microsoft shenanigans. I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.

If even Airbus and ministries are migrating to European solutions, then smaller businesses, non-profits, governments, people and families certainly can!

European companies ARE ready to help people and organizations with #DigitalSovereignty. Here 2 great examples 👇

1. The French Ministry of Education provides cloud storage for 1.2 million employees using Nextcloud architecture: https://www.cio-online.com/actualites/lire-l-education-nationale-offre-le-stockage-cloud-a-ses-1-2-million-d-agents-sans-gafam-16726.html

2. Airbus is 80% certain they can find a European supplier to provide in their complex needs for a cloud: https://www.theregister.com/2025/12/19/airbus_sovereign_cloud/

Elk jaar roep ik mensen op om #stamceldonor te worden. Dit jaar weer een poging, met een heel specifieke reden (zie onder). Stamceldonaties zijn risicovrij en je kan er een leven mee redden. Schrijf je in bij Matchis!

Belgische Hafsa (11 jaar) zoekt een stamceldonor

In de wereldwijde databank is voor de Belgische Hafsa geen match gevonden. Omdat ze Marokkaanse roots heeft, is dit extra lastig. Daarom doen haar beste vriendin en zij een dringende oproep: meld je aan als stamceldonor!
