73 procent van de Nederlanders stond al achter onze eis voor het afschaffen van fossiele subsidies, we gaan hier honderd procent van maken. Sluit je aan! Ga voor meer informatie naar https://a12blokkade.nl [7/7]

Vandaag, boven de tunnelbak van de A12, kondigde Extinction Rebellion (XR) nieuwe acties aan tegen fossiele subsidies. Vanaf zaterdag 3 februari gaat XR de weg weer op en blijft het deze keer niet alleen bij een A12-blokkade. [1/7]

you know what, for that price, I think I’ll just do without my 4 terabytes of historical backups, thank you

“Verbrennte” vs “Verbrennungs“ Triebwagen, know the difference

Monogamy seems like such an unreliable system. I feel like everyone should have at least 1 or 2 backup partners for redundancy.

#Firefox has a new hidden setting auto-rejecting #cookie banners (not just hiding them eg Brave). Piloting in 🇩🇪 in Private Browsing but anyone can enable:
Go to the URL about:config
Set cookiebanners.ui.desktop.enabled ->True
Go to Settings->Privacy, turn on Cookie Banner Blocker.

@wmd I wish I was even surprised, like at any of the details in that.

Also the government not being informed is basically the rule. Knowing a bit of the inside of how these organisations work, there was definitely information and other things the Dutch agencies gained in return, so it wasn't just "we where used by the Americans" that is just the thing they have to say to politicians to cover their ass....

But I wonder what the political fall out now is going to be.

Oh.… railway on strike starting on the one day I gotta get across the city by light-rail to get to my doctor's appointment. Great.

I fully support those strikes, even if it means I'll have to sit in subway and busses for a total of four hours instead of going there within 45min in light-rail, I'd just prefer if DB did fucking get their shit together so there wouldn't have to be any strikes in the first place.

If you haven't checked in a while, Firefox is good. Like really good. If you're tired of Chrome taking literally all of your ram and CPU, you should try switching.
