This was once a forest in Finland of more than 250,000 trees. Google chopped it down illegally to build another one of their AI Monstrosities. The sooner they are all bankrupt the better.

Een aantal KB-websites is uit voorzorg tijdelijk offline vanwege 2 ernstige lekken in PHP, een programmeertaal waarop veel websites draaien. De KB beheert veel websites, waaronder Delpher, DBNL en Bnetwerk. Uit voorzorg zijn al onze websites offline. We houden jullie op de hoogte van de voortgang.

De organisatie waar ik werk heeft de intenties om soeverein te kunnen werken. Daarom mogen wij als ITers straks alleen maar Windows of Apple iOS gebruiken, geen Linux...

Lekker gewerkt @d66.nl

Meta and X have been quietly downranking external links for ages, but we're now entering a new era of open hostility toward the open web. It's a great time to build your own website, free from any billionaires demanding a tithe for things that have always been free.

Fucking hell. Facebook is now limiting the number of links that a page or professional profile can include in a post to TWO PER MONTH, unless you pay them $7.99 a month. Fucking assholes.

Catherine. There was no one like her. A true force of nature. It was a gift to have worked with her (and Fred) and it was an even greater gift to call her a friend. Artiste incomparable, amie incomparable. Catherine, tu nous manqueras. Bisous de tes amis Russell et Ron

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Raiders took place in 1936, 45 years before its release. Raiders is now 45 years old... In other words: if Raiders was made today it should take place in 1981.

'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is 45 years old this year. Wow. Seems only yesterday I was queuing to see it. Great fun. Loved it and still do. Made in the tradition of those 'followy-uppers', as we used to call them. Less said about the last two sequels, the better. Loved the TV series too, mind.
