Die "avoid dropping the basket" is cruciaal daar :)

Stephen Hawking: "I think we are acting with reckless indifference to our future on planet Earth. [atm] we have nowhere else to go, but in the long run the human race shouldn’t have all its eggs in one basket […]. I just hope we can avoid dropping the basket before we learn how to escape from Earth"

Wij kunnen dat niet vatten, hoe gigantisch ver dat allemaal is. Ook de beste kandidaten, zoals de Maan en Mars. Allebei zonder magnetisch veld, zonder noemenswaardige atmosfeer of zwaartekracht. Tijdje daar en we worden een hoopje kankerblubber. Er is geen planeet B. Draag goed zorg voor de Aarde. 🙏

Also: "EU's Energy Taxation Directive (2003) prohibits the taxation of commercial aviation fuel, except for commercial domestic flights or by bilateral agreement between member states. As of 2023, commercial #Aviation fuel is currently tax exempt under the legislation of all member states of the EU"

Kosmologie gefascineerde me al jaren toen iemand me oud erfstuk v/e 🔭 aanbood, 3" Newtonian op houten driepikkel. Wist ik veel wat er allemaal te zien was. Ik dat ding opgesteld en wat zoeken. Ik ontdekte die avond zelf de ringen van Saturnus, Joviaanse manen, Mars, fasen van Venus. Zo gelukkig!! 🤩

Tja, Ben Weyts zit daar ook al een tijdje hé. En brengt z'n kiezers mee. Vandaar een postje een eind boven z'n pet, vermoed ik.

They have a web app, looks the same as their iOS/Android app which is obviously more convenient and persistent if you decide you like the flow.

Do not create any new account! Use existing ATProto (bsky or Eurosky or…) account to log in there. If 2FA & app pw's are set up, logging in at Pinkleap (just like Leaflet or atmo.rsvp) will guide you through the login process. Unlike Leaflet or atmo.rsvp, Pinkleap shows bsky content but differently.

Give it a try! It's a frontend, just like bsky app, for your same ATProto PDS, with all your followers, followings. Instead of microblog like bsky, Pinkleap app focuses on pics and vids. From what I saw of a friend's Instagram, it looks pretty much the same. Except for the ⅓ of ads posts on Insta. 😅

"Pope Leo highlighted the motto for this year’s Vatican exhibit, “The Ear is the Eye of the Soul.” Indeed, he said, “art acts like an antenna, picking up the great questions of the human heart … and making them audible, visible, and shareable.”"

These days, Zuckerberg's Muse will grab anything it can find to sell you out. That includes anything it finds in emails or in messages from those who did *not agree* to put themselves up for sale but trusted you. Now, can we still trust those who have such Agentic AI installed? 🤔

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don't know why.
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Dumb fucks.

What could possibly go … "Muse can be easily prompted to compile dossiers on [Meta] accounts belonging to members of vulnerable groups – incl undocumented immigrants, transgender teachers, poll workers, Iranian dissidents, women who said they had ordered abortion pills in states with abortion bans"

Dox for Me, O Muse

Muse AI can leverage Facebook data to build lists of people in vulnerable groups on request for ordinary users.

Last week's spring tide on this part of the river probably made for the last daylight spring tide this season. Until spring, spring tides will be past sunset, before sunrise. This river does its tides thing ~200km from its mound in the sea. How far do tides stretch on rivers near you? #nn

Hey, tried @pinkleap.social with your bsky account? Turns bsky into insta clone. With, ofc, all your ATProto followers/followings/pics/vids. 🤐

Occasionally, random contacts send me a WhatsApp invitation. I find that quite offensive. So I reply with cited link. Too much?

Welke vragen hebben jullie voor de Vlaamse regering? Shoot! Ik neem ze mee in het debat morgen in Vlaams parlement. Mijn hoofdvragen zullen alvast zijn: Welke maatregelen zullen de werkgelegenheid aanzwengelen? En wat is de groeiprognose nu men weet dat één hittezomer dat volledige teniet doet?

Goeiemorgen bsky! Druppels te na gesproken, t-shirt weer weeral. Hoe zelfs.

Schermafdruk OpenWeather: ganse nacht bleef het 19°C, ondanks de regen. Hoe zelfs.

Are body cams connected or do they store locally and is the data retrieved only after an incident? Not sure how Amazon's work. Anyways. It is often via corporate that such surveillance is introduced: employees unlike private citizens have no way to object unless via a union or resignation.

Dankjewel, en ferm geregeld!! Eén vd argumenten voor die subsidie was dat die bedrijven bij ons zonder zulke steun voor hun uitstoot benadeeld zijn omdat onze buurlanden wél die steun geven. Veranderde daar ondertussen al iets? Anders zou 't wel wat zijn als we zo precedent scheppen. Sowieso 💪 🙏🙏

When I buy stuff, I tend to ask myself: would I want (any of my friends) to work there? Why I never buy anything with Amazon. Seems so many people would want to enslave themselves or their friends like this. I can't wrap my head around that.
