I think I have a phone addiction. Am I constantly on my smartphone
doomscrolling news/socials? Not at all, I often leave the thing untouched for days and don't have traditional social media. Am I constantly chattering on various calls racking up the phone bill? Nope, 5 minutes calltime a month […]

Aww...I think she's trying to send a message that she wants to play! Mind you, her toy basket is on the opposite end of the room. She dragged them all here.

A cute dog (kooikerhondje) on a couch, surrounded by all kinds of fluffy toys. She stares into the camera with a cute innocent look.

The past year has been the year where I rediscovered flightsimming, something I already loved to do as a kid! It's been hundreds of flight hours and too many euros on fancy flight equipment and virtual planes.... but we're having fun!

Time for a nice cup of tea, I thought... I return to the living room with my cup, put it onto the table next to.... another cup of warm tea which I had apparently made less than five minutes before... I guess my #2026 new year's resolution will increased #mindfulness !

Last year we visited the Star Wars concert by the Ukrainian National Choir 'Dumka' and the International Symphony Orchestra from Lviv. This year, yesterday, they came back to my , Eindhoven, and we listened to a beautiful Lord of the Rings concert! Once again a spectacular performance!

Oh hey SXMO released a new version (1.18) and wf-recorder is working again...
#sxmo #sway #postmarkeros #pixel3a #video #linuxphones #mobilelinux @linmob @linuxphoneapps I'm still waiting to raise a few disposable funds to replace my op6 battery (I'm too hand stupid to do it so have to pay for a local reliable tech) but I'm still enjoying my pixel 3a. This was more of a 'hey I don't always use TUI's' type of thing.... Side note... YT keeps flagging the most random artists for copyright... so you can't see this on my channel....

Uit frustratie gooi ik hem er nog maar een keer in. Ik hield een praatje over de moeizame relatie tussen politiek, data en experts. Ik hoopte dat dit wat meer aandacht zou krijgen maar de reactie die ik uit media krijg is "ja maar dat wisten we toch al". Maar dat maakt het niet minder een […]

Onlangs sprak ik weer een droeve ambtenaar die, tegen alle regels in, van alles zag verhuizen naar AI op Amerikaanse clouds. En daar kan je helemaal kapot aan gaan, want in je eentje hou je het niet tegen. Hier een hart onder de riem: het ligt niet aan jou, de regels boeien kennelijk niet meer […]

Side point on #chatcontrol: When I worked on the law in the European Parliament, in the face of questionably legal, and highly problematic behavior by DG HOME, I prepared a whitepaper on why it was such a terrible Idea.

As it is in the public interest, I have decided to make that white paper […]

🇪🇺YES: Germany is not supporting the EU's #chatcontrol bill as proposed!
The blocking minority needed to stop this illegal mass surveillance plan seems secured (for now). ✅

Opposition now also from LU🇱🇺 & SK🇸🇰!

A map of Europe titled "Help Stop #ChatControl!" shows countries color-coded by their government's stance on Chat Control in 2025. The legend indicates: green for "Not in favour," blue for "Undecided/Unclear," and red for "In favour." Countries in favour (red) are: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, and Spain. Countries not in favour (green) are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia. Countries undecided or unclear (blue) are: Estonia, Greece, Slovenia, Romania, and Sweden (in favour, but subject to approval by Parliament). The map includes the text "Is your government opposing it yet?" and a call to action at the bottom: "Act now! www.chatcontrol.eu".

Can you name ONE (one only please) SF/F book, written this century (2001+), that has absolutely blown your mind? Not just something you liked, or that was good, I'm looking for the absolute best books written this century.

My new t-shirt arrived a while back and I took a selfie with it today. I feel like an ambassador to the United Federation of the Fediverse now! 🖖 Danke @Lioh

I was in a creative mood last week and composed some piano music, something I do only
too rarely. I'm pleased how it turned out and recorded it today. Here is "Fiducia Gocciolabile"!
