Hello world! The logical end-point of distribution and federation is a personal instance. This is my Mastodon instance.

Van de belastingdienst de brief met nieuw BTW-nummer gekregen. Een langdurige doorn in het oog opgelost: niet langer verplicht mijn BSN nummer overal laten slingeren omdat het in mijn BTW-nummer zit.

MacOS Catalina update junks my Scansnap scanner as 'legacy'. So no OS updates for a while to keep using my peripheral hardware. Check which software you use daily that gets dumped by MacOS 64bit.

Verbazingwekkend hoe 40 jaar nadat openbaarheid het absolute uitgangspunt van de wet is geworden (openbaar, tenzij), de WOB en de aankomende WOO vooral nog altijd kramp veroorzaakt. #overheid360

Chrome to limit adblocking. That violates the castle doctrine of browsers. Chrome is not a browser. It's an adtech delivery tool.

A move that surprises absolutely no one: Google won't pay French publishers for snippets. France is the first EU country to transcribe the new EU Copyright Directive into law. This directive contains a new neighbouri

Je kunt bij stikstof wel bekvechten over de berekende cijfers, maar fundamenteler is dat de regering beperking bepleit maar niet de consequenties van beperking aanvaardt, en wegmoffelt met 'toekomstige compensatie'

Do You Lie Enough? You Probably Need to Lie More Often! Filling out forms when mandatory fields are not compliant with the GDPR: lie, obfuscate, provide compliance hints.

My small change to WP Post Kinds has been adopted into the master code of the plugin. It is mightily pleasing to know I've had some tangible influence on an actual WP plugin I use daily.

This is a good observation. In my mind Flickr for instance isn't about sharing per se, but I see it as an off-site archive next to my photo archive on my laptop and a NAS at home. That it allows for easy re-use of those images in my own site is an added bonus. Will need to write a bit about my own thoughts from this session too.

Fifteen years ago today @elmine and Habermas were spot on concerning the value of weblogs as communication, and still are. A pertinent reminder after last weekend's #indiewebcamp I hosted.
