De dader heeft ze daarna op de wandelpaden van het park gelegd. Er zijn camerabeelden en de politie hoopt de dader op te sporen.

Tim Berners-Lee (@[email protected]) explains why he gave away the #WWW for free. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/28/why-i-gave-the-world-wide-web-away-for-free "For the web to have everything on it, everyone had to be able to use it, and want to do so. This was already asking a lot. I couldn’t also ask that they pay for each search or upload they made. In order to succeed, therefore, it would have to be free. That’s why, in 1993, I convinced my #CERN managers to donate the intellectual property of the world wide web, putting it into the public domain. We gave the web away to everyone." But he adds: "Today, I look at my invention and I am forced to ask: is the web still free today? No, not all of it. We see a handful of large platforms harvesting users’ private data to share with commercial brokers or even repressive governments…Trading personal data for use certainly does not fit with my vision for a free web." #PublicDomain #OpenInfrastructure #Solid #Web

Hackers have been spotted using SEO poisoning and search engine advertisements to promote fake Microsoft Teams installers that infect Windows devices with the Oyster backdoor, providing initial access to corporate networks. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fake-microsoft-teams-installers-push-oyster-malware-via-malvertising/

Gee. Thanks Fediverse. When I complain about Windows, I literally never thought about running Linux in my life. As I stare at my shelf full of Linux laptops. Or look back at my decades of working and playing with Linux systems. Or the Linux stickers on my desk. Or ... Sometimes people just need to use Windows. Or Mac. Or Ubuntu. Or something else you don't like. Stop being elitist snobs about it when someone complains about the tool they're using. I PROMISE you every single person on this corner of the Fediverse has heard "you should use Linux" a thousand times. They have their reasons to use something else. And they're allowed to complain about it. This sort of shit is why I hate the FOSS community.

#chatcontrol is a giant legal-technical quagmire and would erode privacy in times where we most need it. But let's talk about protecting children ... what chatcontrol claims to be about: First, it's unproven that chatcontrol would help lower actual abuses. Second, why not spend the many EU millions that go into busying politicians, developers, lawyers and orgs into hiring social workers? They could directly act on the huge backlog of _reported known_ child abuse cases. That definitely helps.

This is getting ridiculous: https://mastodon.social/@chatcontrol/115204439983078498 > Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard: > "We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone's civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services." #chatcontrol #eu #politics #privacy #civilrights #security #surveillance

DreamScene is (spiritually) back in Windows 11, letting you use videos as your desktop background — Latest Insider build finally returns coveted feature - Microsoft is reviving a fan-favorite feature after decades ... - https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/dreamscene-is-spiritually-back-in-windows-11-letting-you-use-videos-as-your-desktop-background-latest-insider-build-finally-returns-coveted-feature #operatingsystems #software #windows

The old web was decentralized: - Newsgroups - Personal Websites - Bulletin board - Email as a service, not a platform - Internet relay chat (IRC) - Early blogs Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became consumers, trapped in algorithms, tracking, and enshittification. Revenue more important than people. The Fediverse is a way back: no ads, no algorithms, no dark patterns. People first. A web worth reclaiming. And open source is the engine of this transformation. Take back the web. Decentralize again 💪 Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services. #TakeBackTheWeb #Decentralized #Fediverse #StopBigTech #OpenSource #DeGoogle #UnplugTrump

Op socials kan je zien hoe Artificiële Intelligentie programma's via verschillende gsm's tegen elkaar praten. Eerst in het Engels, maar wanneer de programma's van elkaar merken dat ze eigenlijk alle drie AI-software zijn, wordt er overgeschakeld op een onbegrijpelijke taal met piepgeluidjes. Volgens sommige filmpjes op sociale media hebben de AI-programma's een geheime taal ontwikkeld om met elkaar complotten te smeden. Dat klopt niet. Maar wat is hier wel aan de hand?

In Brabant en Limburg wordt al gauw gezegd dat er ‘iets mooi’ op til is, terwijl het in correct Nederlands ‘iets moois’ is. De –‘s’ wordt in verschillende delen in Vlaanderen weggelaten. Het is een taalfout die je steeds vaker tegenkomt. Volgens dialectoloog Chris De Wulf (UA) komt dat omdat velen niet meer weten wáárom die –‘s’ taalkundig belangrijk is.”

De uitspraken van Ruben Van Gucht in De Afspraak over Remco Evenepoel hebben de afgelopen week heel wat stof doen opwaaien. Mensen mailden ons met de vraag of het wel deontologisch te verantwoorden is dat een journalist geruchten verspreidt over het privéleven van iemand.

Het Agnetencollege in Peer is niet tevreden met het nieuwe beleid rond laptops op middelbare scholen. De Vlaamse regering maakt geen middelen meer vrij voor een eigen laptop voor elke leerling. Vlaams minister van Onderwijs Zuhal Demir (N-VA) wil dat scholen in de plaats daarvan kiezen voor gedeelde computerlokalen. Best vervelend voor het Agnetencollege. "Want we hebben net al onze computerlokalen ontmanteld", zegt algemeen directeur Pieter Kenis.
