I owned a smart phone that only runs the web (with great pleasure), so I find the Commodore phone blocked browser feature deeply weird and I'd call this feature a bug 😉

ING financiert bedrijven die onze toekomst in gevaar brengen: van nieuwe olie- en gasvelden tot schendingen van mensenrechten. Zeg samen met Milieudefensie: "Niet Met Mijn Geld". Teken het ultimatum: https://milieudefensie.nl/niet-met-mijn-geld

Leugenaars! Nog steeds bankieren bij #ING? Neem een bankrekening bij een andere bank en vertel waarom!

This so weird: Whoever now holds the #Commodore brand name, released a phone that only runs proprietary (Android) apps, but no open standard (Web) apps. So, it is even less open than a regular Android phone...(?)

Het lijkt er bijna op de PRO bestaat uit twee facties: Groenen en Sociaaldemocraten...

Universiteiten Publiceer je eigen werk zelf! (Opiniestuk in Volkskrant van 2 april 2015)

ln plaats van uitgevers te blijven spekken met belastinggeld, moeten universiteiten hun wetenschappelijk werk zelf publiceren.

Please join us in the 8th International Open Search Symposium #OSSYM26 on 7-9 October 2026 in Berlin: https://opensearchfoundation.org/events-osf/ossym2026/

A European Web Data Infrastructure will offer large-scale access to Web data for all European companies, SMEs and innovators. The proof of concept is already available. #OpenWebSearchEU

The gas from the GEMS fields will not reduce LNG production and will not reduce the gas price as the volume of gas is not large enough to influence the international gas price. New gas infrastructure will only prolong our dependence on fossil fuels.

More than 400 scientists asked the government in 2022 to stop. We are like a junkie who wants his last shot.! This last shot may well be our overdose.

The Netherlands does not have any more carbon budget available for new gas extraction!! NOTHING! #StopDrilling #Climate

The company #ONEDyas (shame on you, ONE-Dyas!) is still allowed to drill for gas 20 km north of Schiermonnikoog and in the ecologically fragile Borkum Stone Reef. Here, they describe their evil plans: https://www.gemsnorthsea.co.uk/gems-project/

Did the Netherlands stop drilling for natural gas? Did they? More than 10 years after the Paris agreement (and after reaching the dangerous 1.5°C temperature increase)?

NO! Stop this sh*t!

(Isareli newspaper Haaretz) International Media Is Failing Palestinian Journalists in Gaza: The world's leading media outlets must demand every day that Israel allow them to send reporters into Gaza, so that evidence for war crimes is documented. Leaving Palestinian journalists alone to cover Israel's atrocities is a dereliction of duty.

Pro-tip: To avoid backlash from students and staff, always announce unpopular, controversial decisions during the summer break.

Ik tank al 30 jaar niet bij Shell. Dat heeft wel eens rottige situaties opgeleverd, met de familie in de auto in het buitenland op zoek naar een tankstation dat niet van Shell is (verrassend moeilijk). Vaak zeggen mensen me: "Djoerd, andere oliebedrijven zijn net zo slecht", maar dan komen ze nooit met voorbeelden die net zo slecht zijn. Mijn studievriend zei dan, "Ja, maar daar weten we het niet van." En zo is het. Nu weet jij ook hoe boosaardig slecht de koninklijke Shell is. #BoycottShell
