Housemaids were hurrying homewards with their purchases for various Gallic breakfasts, and the long sticks of bread, a yard or two in length, carried under their arms, made an odd impression upon me.

  • Die gebruikte ik voorheen ook wel, maar .ph, .today, .is etc zijn beheerd door de zelfde eigenaar (zie URLs in menuutje rechts). En net als Wikipedia vermijd ik het[^1].

    [^1]: Uit de zelde Wiki-link: On 14 January 2026, it emerged that archive.today had inserted malicious JavaScript code in its CAPTCHA page to involve visitors in a DDoS attack against Gyrovague, and the archive.today blog posted public criticisms of Patokallio. Emails released by Patokallio show archive.today requesting the temporary removal of his report and later threatening him with AI pornography. On 20 February 2026, English Wikipedia editors banned links to archive.today due to the DDoS attack and evidence that archived content was tampered with to insert Patokallio's name.)

  • That introduction was not written by a communications officer, I guess. Or am I the only one who finds it aggressive in tone?

  • MEPs approve list of “safe countries” excluded from asylum

    Jump

  • Giving in to the far-right will only lead to the nomalisation of dehumanising immigrants and asylum seekers. Maybe they should try reducing the wealth-gap instead of blaming a small group of vulnerable people.

  • Fairphone sales jump 83% as the memory crunch makes longevity look better than ever.

  • They also take in consideration whether the chips can be produced with fairly paid labour (to a certain level). I believe they have once stated that this was an important reason not to use some chips.

  • Meloni brands violent Olympic protesters ‘enemies of Italy’

    Jump

  • It annoys me when people say she is not as populist as feared, based on that she is supporting Ukraine and not anti-EU, while in Italy she is pushing hard against migrants, asylum seekers, and the LGBTQ+community.

  • Note that your link directs to the latest post. I think it is because of the /fap/. If that is removed it works fine. I think that's a bit of a messy system that APOD uses.

  • Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 1365 from Webb

    Jump

  • I guess what he is talking about is that you linked the image (https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ image /2602/PIA20522enceladus .jpg ), but not the actual blog post (https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap260207.html (be sure not to include /fap/ in the link)) that include the textual information.

    I am not sure if the image will show when adding the blog post as a link (instead of the image link), but when using the image link it is nice to add the blog post seperately. I think the blog post would be more valuable than the individual organisations underneath.

    I commend you are adding sources! Thank you :)

  • The Apple I Used to Know - Apple’s moral compass is broken and Tim Cook’s silence is the loudest symptom.

  • It didn't really start recently. The openness about it, sure. The constant effort in malicious compliance with open standards, new regulations, and consumer lock-in are derived from greed and are not new.

    Apple have had some of the best technologist and designers, but for sure have had the best marketers. I doubt they'll manage to keep everyone on board on this new low, though.

    I am happy I started quite a few years ago with moving away from Apple software (this is such an effort in itself because of the lock-in). I still have their devices, however, I am looking to replace them with alternatives when they need replacing.

  • Ownership of open source flashcard app Anki transferred to for-profit AnkiHub

    Jump

  • Time will tell. The words of AnkiHub are quite comforting, as it seems they are a small organisation focused on med students. It also seems they were surprised themselves with the offer they received when asking for collaboration.

    They also say they will keep it open source 🤞

  • Not everyone's piece of cake, but I like Anki (FOSS) and download community made language decks.

  • Try your library, maybe they offer some streaming alternatives.

  • Note that they agreed on this almost a decade ago[1]. Whether or not it is about Trump, I am happy about greater independence for Europe, too! There is also Galileo (GPS alternative) and IRIS2 (for governmental, business, and private communication. Sort of an alternative to Starlink) and a few others out there[2].
