Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 06/09/2026Web version of Google Earth now allows you to detect changes over time quick and easily (based on 10m resolution), which is cool. I'm still angry about them shutting down Pro though. 2100 10

Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 04/08/2026I'm building out new OSINT training for environment & wildlife issues. Just gave the 1st workshop on this two weeks ago at Puma Fest, Bogotá 🇨🇴.

Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 28/08/2025More testing of LLMs for journalism, this time on identifying image location, date, and source. By @aisvarya17.bsky.social and @klaudia.bsky.social with some of my own commentary. www.cjr.org/tow_center/w... @columjournreview.bsky.social 34919 49
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 06/06/2025We ran 500 tests and: LLMs are quickly passing the threshold of being the most useful tool out there, if you're looking for the location of a photo from scratch. 821358 213

Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 13/03/2025Does National Geographic know they're filming a man tied to underground wildlife trade? Our investigation found Humaid Albuqaish made use of an illegal wildlife dealing network—and even his own manager calls it "forbidden." www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/20... 1133 13
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 01/03/2025Google has me clicking traffic lights for 15 minutes because I use a vpn, and then allows "authors" to dump 31 slop-books on the Playstore with reviews like this. Enshittification continues. 26411 64
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 07/12/2024Next, Streetview confirms it: the road markings match, and a Greenwheels car is parked in the exact same spot. (It's a red, gasoline Greenwheels car, but the Streetview is dated) 100 1
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 07/12/2024Greenwheels cars park in fixed spots across Amsterdam. Using their online app, starting near the other assaults, and comparing with the blurry license plate, we narrow it down to one car. 110 1
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 07/12/2024The charging cable is tied to the trunk, and there's a green logo on the white car. They indicate car-sharing, specifically the white cars from Greenwheels. 110 1
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 07/12/20242) A man is kicked on the ground between two parked cars. One’s a white car plugged in for charging—a key clue. 100 1
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 07/12/2024Streetview of Bosboom de Toussaintstraat confirms the details—and bonus: the lime green car from the video is there too! Thanks, whoever you are! 110 1
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 07/12/2024In central Amsterdam, usually: A) Smaller streets are brick, not asphalt. B) Cars are parked parallel on both sides - but in our video the cars on the left parked angled. This narrows it down fast. In this neighborhood, only one street fits both criteria. Can you spot it? 100 1
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 07/12/20241) A man lies unconscious, being kicked. Asphalt road, cars parked on both sides, and faded speed-bump marks—already big clues. 100 1
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 07/12/2024If it only vaguely shows pavement and cars—how can you still trace where a video was taken? Short thread on how @bellingcat.com found the location of assaults that took place in the center of Amsterdam last month, for @trouw.nl 120 2

Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 15/11/2024LLMs are cool, but LGMs could change the way we do OSINT and geolocation! Might even be by the end of 2025, according to the creator of Google Earth, currently at Niantic/ Pokemon Go. nianticlabs.com/news/largege... 1182 18
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 09/11/2024The NYT front page could use some context right now: the "crowd attacking a person" in the video below are Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters, some of which donned masks and armed themselves with iron poles beforehand. 1229 22
Foeke Postma @foeke.eurosky.social · 06/11/2024I'm probably just catching up here, but: Project 2025 suggests US intel agencies lean on the private sector for OSINT to cut "duplicative efforts." That's a bad idea. 26114 61
