Domain names are the sketch books of the web.

I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.

Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

Manenblussers,
Het appartement dat mijn dochter huurt is verkocht en ze moet er uit. Het is echt een ramp om een ander appartement te vinden. Afspraak wordt afgezegd of het is voor iemand anders. Weet iemand toevallig iets vrij in het Mechelse,rond €800?
Delen is lief.

1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links
2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands
3. The whole app is open source

This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site.

We 💙 the open web.

Dit is een *gigantisch* probleem. Opent de deur naar andere regeringen die dit kunnen proberen verplichten.
Apple has been forced by the U.K. to disable iCloud end-to-end encryption, leaving journalists, whistleblowers, and the U.K. public vulnerable to breaches and endangering democracy. Apple would not comply with the U.K’s orders to wiretap the global population.
“…and only on their trusted devices. We are gravely disappointed that the protections provided by ADP will not be available to our customers in the UK given the continuing rise of data breaches and other threats to customer privacy…”
