So I have migrated my data to @eurosky.social - this is the first post there. Migration process impeccably explained, and everything else is then pretty much as it was, including the username I use here.

Gisteren kwam er dankzij dit stuk, een optreden bij Kopspijkers en lezingen in Utrecht, bij het congres van Volt en in Paradiso meer dan 50.000 euro aan donaties binnen. Onder meer al 17k voor interceptor drones die shaheds neerhalen: whydonate.com/nl/fundraisi... www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Langzaam maar zeker bereiken we alle media, ook de plekken die tot nu toe nog niet zo bezig waren met digitale autonomie of DigiD etc. Gelukkig maar: www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/t...

Today, as Ukraine fights to preserve its sovereignty and cultural identity, Olha Kobylianska's work resonates with a great force.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Do you remember the surprise announcement of a new social network in Davos, promising to be the "first" European social network? Its name is #WSocial and it's a fork of #Bluesky. It will require a government ID to set up an account. I wrote about it here: blog.elenarossini.com/w-social-unc...

The most hilarious part of this is that the recall only affects 173 total vehicles, because that's all Tesla's sold of its rear wheel drive model.

Liebe Grüne, herzlich willkommen bei Bluesky! 🌻 Mein Grünes Startpaket ist vielleicht hilfreich für Euch. Es enthält 150 Accounts und drei nützliche Bluesky-Feeds, die ich empfehle. go.bsky.app/p73EqT

Gute Nachricht - Grüne, SPD und Linke verlassen X! Politische Debatte braucht fairen Austausch, der Menschen erreicht & informiert. X hingegen fördert zunehmend Desinformation & versinkt im Chaos. Macht mit & spread the word! Gemeinsam erreichen wir, dass die Bundesregierung diesem Beispiel folgt.

Interessant artikel. Hoe enorm batterijcomplex de plek in gaat nemen van oude kerncentrale. Conversievermogen groter dan dat van de centrale tegen een CAPEX minder dan de decommissioning costs. En vele malen sneller operationeel. Wie nog voor kernenergie pleit leeft in voltooid verleden tijd. >>>

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “ChatGPT and Claude and Grok and Gemini are not your friends or, God forbid, your lovers; they are human creations, and their creators are responsible for everything the creatures do,” our columnist David French writes.

France plans to ditch all fossil fuels by 2050. “France announced a ‘first of its kind’ plan to phase out coal by 2030, oil by 2045 & gas by 2050…The roadmap was published as dozens of nations gather for the first-ever international talks on how to transition away from planet-heating fossil fuels.”

Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia. Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

9 GW für ein neues Rechenzentrum 🤯 Das sind 12–15 % der gesamten deutschen Spitzenlast oder 6–9 Großkraftwerke – Strom für mehrere Millionenstädte. ...mit neuen fossilen Kraftwerken 😡🤬

Mijn column @frieschdagblad.bsky.social over een mijns inziens achterhaalde discussie: afdwingbare participatie van omgeving bij energieprojecten. Nieuwe norm: nieuwe vergunningen energiesystemen (zon/wind/batterij/warmte) worden in opdracht verleend aan de (op te richten) Energiegemeenschap.

Both solar and wind power now produce more of the world's electricity than nuclear. More importantly, they're the growth engines, ready to finally make a dent in the amounts of coal and gas used for electricity. And in the emissions arising from that!

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

Perplexity’s CEO is just the latest tech leader to tell the public their jobs will be sacrificed on the altar of the glorious AI future. It’s a compelling narrative, but it distracts us from the real impact of AI: not to take the human out of the loop, but to take away their power and cut their pay

Advice for @erc.europa.eu : Prohibit the use of LLMs for grant writing. Let applicants sign a declaration that they have not used such systems and that the text is written by them and them alone.

Een week later: alweer bijna € 165.000 euro. We kijken nu o.a. naar mobiele consultatieburo's/ verloskundige klinieken inclusief echo apparaat, voor regio's waar geen medische zorg meer is maar wel zwangere vrouwen. Dat zijn een boel plekken, helaas.
