Wasn’t the TGV sabotage attack also targeted at the fiber-optics lines? Wouldn’t be surprised if they were related.
Or maybe these people just really dislike fiber-optics, and are in the pockets of big copper /j

A mix of Spotify (I have a premium account there), and my own collection of CDs which I have ripped and can access via Jellyfin for higher audio quality.
AirBnB is already severly restricted in several parts of Amsterdam (though a court ruling last year did overturn those restrictions in some neighbourhoods)
I think you are missing the point why people take issue with overtourism.
Amsterdam isn’t a themepark, it’s a city where people actually live, grew up, have lives. And overtourism tends to hollow out what makes the city authentic. The houses get converted to AirBnB’s and hotels, the regular shops, pubs and restaurants can’t find regular customers anymore so start catering to tourists instead, etc. This results in a sort of Disneylandification of your city. It’s generally a nuisance to the inhabitants of a city.
Ultimately a city is for the people who live there, not the people who visit.
Tourism can be good for the local economy, but there is only so much people are willing to put up with.
Edit: Also, old hotels are allowed to be renovated, as long as the number of sleeping places in the city doesn’t increase
A new hotel in Amsterdam can only be built if another hotel closes, if the number of sleeping places doesn’t increase, and if the new hotel will be better, for example more sustainable.
Amsterdam has had an issue with overtourism long before NJB was making videos.
While I agree with most of what you said, I don’t think it’s a great idea to recommend Linux to someone who appears to be out of his depth in terms of computers.
If consuming media with integer scaling is the main concern, then 120Hz would be better than 144Hz, because it can be divided by 5 to make 24Hz (for movies) and divided by 2 or 4 to make 30/60Hz (for TV shows).
144Hz only cleanly divides into 24Hz by dividing it by 6. In order to get to 60Hz you need to divide by 2.4, which is not an integer.
And with either refresh rate 25/50Hz PAL content is still not dividable by a nice round integer value
It’s odd to me that there are places that would consider that piracy
In my country (the Netherlands), to my knowledge, you have the right to do whatever you like with your copy of a movie as long as you don’t distribute it.
That includes ripping it, and putting the mkv on your personal server. That is precisely what the home-copy tax is for afterall…
I never said I approved of that either. I’m just voicing my opinion on what the role of unions is / should be.
Regardless of your stance on what is going on in Gaza, I don’t think unions should be picking a side either way.
The point of a union is to represent the worker toward their employer. This is most effective if all workers stand together.
Taking a stance on a matter that is so politically controversial as the situation in Gaza/Israel, only serves to divide workers, reducing the effectiveness of unions to achieve their core purpose.
If individuals (or groups of individuals) want to support or denounce either Israel or Palestine that should be their choice, but I don’t think a union should get involved in that.
Short answer: It’s because of binary.
Computers are very good at calculating with powers of two, and because of that a lot of computer concepts use powers of two to make calculations easier.
1024 = 210
Edit: Oops… It’s 210, not 27
Sorry y’all… 😅
I went to a performance by De Staat a few days ago, so I’ve been in the mood for their music
It’s still good to verify whether the suspicions are well-founded or not
I can mostly find myself agreeing (or at least not having big issues with) with all of the points, except for that one.
Let’s just hope they mean requiring a best effort, rather than outright preventing it in the first place.
Since the article doesn’t actually say what the rules and regulations are, here is a link:
I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think that retroactively applies to things that happened before the ToS got updated.
So 23andMe would still be open to lawsuits for the previous breach
Could we add holiday logos for the Dutch (and Belgian) holidays of Sinterklaas (December 5th and 6th), and perhaps Kings Day? (April 27th)
If I have some direction on the style I could perhaps Photoshop something together :)
Edit: Carnaval would be fun too, but that one might be tricky because it falls on a different day every year (and is also not consistent between countries, I don’t think…)
As someone who works in the tech industry and has used AI tools (or more accurately machine learning models), I do think it is overrated.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t think it can be useful, just that it’s not going to live up to the immense hype surrounding it right now.
Por que no los dos?
I like to think that these videos are the only thing keeping Patrick Boyle sane from his career in finance.
His channel is great. I love his dry sense of humour.
