On average, the Dutch think that 20% of the people here is Muslim (it's 5%). They overestimate our income tax rate by 28%. They think the number of homicides is on the rise (it's falling). And that agriculture takes 19% of our land area (it's 60%). And they have strong opinions on all of the above.

Intimidatie is een te licht begrip in deze context: potentie tot afpersing, inbreuk op privacy, (bedrijfs)spionage, etc etc. Na ‘smartphones’ ‘drones’ ‘deurbellen’ gaan ze nu nog kleiner en onopvallender ons leven beinvloeden, maar waarom we het precies nodig hebben weet niemand behalve Meta.

"Perhaps more concerningly, the TVs were capable of recording microphone audio when in standby; this continued even after the TV was disconnected from the internet, with audio files stored offline and uploaded once a connection was restored."

Is doomscrolling bad for you? A meta-analysis of 42 studies (N=46,912) finds that consuming short-form videos is linked to increases in inattention & impulsivity; reductions in working-memory span & self-regulation; elevations in anxiety, depression & stress; and a surge in addiction symptoms.

So this had to happen someday; not the news about this possibility but an actual case. It probably happened a lot more (with business and personal data) but now it surfaces because it is so blatant an attack on democracy.

I’ve been recording exterior crowds for about a decade. Most of these recordings are done in public spaces (terraces - cafes) to build a big library to sell online (for film and games). This week i had another great opportunity, the Eclipse attracted lot’s of people. The Sound of the 2026 Eclipse!
