Well, I am here and have been for a while. I mean in the physical space I inhabit. And on Mastodon albeit on a different instance.

I have been known to practice the use of dry humour and irony. Making sharp contrasts and pointing out uncomfortable similarities can appear in my discussions with others.

Pro-European, left of centre in a society that is still intrinsically opposed to both.

“but how would you know what the IP address was, grandad?”

“well, that’s the thing, it didn’t have one.”

“oh, so how would you update the firmware then?”

“it had none. it was just a tea kettle.”

“woah.”

Just a quick reminder that this singular, beautiful, blue & white bauble is our shared home. May we keep it safe. The iconic "Earthrise" image, one of the most famous photos ever taken, was captured by astronaut Bill Anders on Dec. 24, 1968 from the Apollo 8 spacecraft. #EarthDay

I won an astronomy communication and public education award from the Canadian Astronomical Society, for yelling about satellite pollution! I'm quite honoured, and now obligated to continue yelling.

Which I was going to do anyway, but it's extremely nice to know that my university (who gave me a public education award last year) and my professional society both think I am good at yelling about this and should keep doing it.

@Haijo7 @Craigp This. Most people aren't even native English speakers.

Claiming that “all the potential users” are so put off by four apparently random letters that it's the only reason they keep paying Adobe licences isn't very convincing.

Like someone else already pointed out: how good must a name be? Is Inkscape an industry standard yet because of its inoffensive name?

By that same logic, why would anyone want to use 3D software sharing names with a destructive kitchen appliance made to turn things into mush? Yet Blender seems to be doing well enough.

And yeah, like Haijo here said, git should be the best counterpoint. I keep telling people, even Americans, the old joke that Linus named two projects after himself: Linux and git. No one gets it. And everyone uses it.

*Zero* out of the six pending #curl CVEs are C mistakes. They are all logical mistakes that would have happened anyway even if we had used another language.

Today we launched https://code.overheid.nl: the NL government-wide code platform 🥳🥳

Code.overheid.nl is a pilot in which we are going to test @forgejo; an open source and sovereign alternative to GitHub/GitLab.

This is an initiative of @BZKopensource, in collaboration with our friends from team DAWO (SSC-ICT), @opensource , @developer , and a number of participating government orgs. 🤝

@tomootes from developer.overheid wrote a nice piece about it: https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2026/04/24/we-gaan-samen-code-overheid-bouwen

Sluiting ‘bed-bad-brood’ van de baan: Rotterdamse ongedocumenteerden krijgen gelijk van de rechter

Het is definitief: Rotterdamse ongedocumenteerden die gebruikmaken van de ‘bed-bad-broodregeling’ worden niet op straat gezet. Volgens de rechter had (voormalig) minister Faber deze opvang niet zomaar mogen stopzetten.

"Zyuganov ⁠said a recent government meeting convened by Putin had been the gloomiest in a long time.

"If you (the government) do not urgently adopt ​financial, economic and other measures, by autumn a repeat of what happened in 1917 awaits us. We don't have the right to ​repeat that. Let's take some decisions." "

So why does a Russian communist believe that "We don't have the right to repeat that", that is repeat the very thing that ushered in the Russian "Marxist state" and the Soviet Union?
