the reason people bedazzle clothes is because they learned from RPGs that wearing shinier clothing makes them more powerful

Op 3 september 2026 organiseerden Dutch Cloud Community en eco – Association of the Internet Industry een Nederlands-Duitse uitwisseling over de aanpak van online abuse in brede zin.
Gerben Klein Baltink, voorzitter van het Platform Internetstandaarden, gaf een korte presentatie over https://Internet.nl en legde uit hoe deze tool de algehele online veiligheid van Nederlandse organisaties heeft verbeterd en de sector heeft gestimuleerd om zijn werkwijzen te verbeteren.
De bijeenkomst vond gelijktijdig met en op dezelfde locatie plaats als de Dag van de Nederlandse Cloud, georganiseerd door Dutch Cloud Community en Cloud Expo.
Michiel Henneke van @SIDN schreef een artikel over deze dag, die een duidelijk rode draad had: de Nederlandse hostingsector wil een actieve rol spelen in een veiliger digitaal ecosysteem én de versterking van de digitale autonomie.

It's pretty simple. You're hearing "We're so scared of the AIs, we need to reign them in" from the very US companies building and selling them for two reasons:
- They're about to IPO, and it's amazing marketing for them
- They want a regulatory moat, since they're deeply worried about the open weight LLMs. They want everyone dependent on this tech and to be *the only ones legally permitted to dispense it*.

Trying to get past Webkit’s blockage at the W3C.
So, I am very ill today. And I promised the BF, who is going to be away all day, I would not spend every waking moment reading the news and getting upset about it. I don't know if I can comply with this request without leaving my desk for the afternoon so I might fuck off.
Normally I'd ignore the request, but I'm unwell enough that taking care of me might be on the table if it gets much worse so I have to math his feelings and obligations into this decision.

@liberty If you're using emacs, I find that with rainbow-delimeters and highlight-parentheses, after a while, lispy syntax becomes the easiest thing to read of them all. But it takes some acclimating to!
rainbow-identifiers also helps I feel, but not everyone is going to be into that :)
@cwebber Oh! I didn't know about rainbow-delimeters. I'll look into all of these thank you those will be helpful!

Isn't it odd how no AI CEOs called for pacing the frontier when the internet flooded with deep fakes and revenge porn? Nor did they call for it when people got hurt or killed because an AI chatbot gave them misinformation, encouraged selfharm, or induced delusional behavior — isn't that odd?? And isn't it odd that militaries using AI to select civilian targets wasn't the cue to pace the frontier??? But the CEOs have IPOs coming up, and suddenly they all agree that now's the time to pace the frontier! ISN'T THAT ODD????
Eerder schreef ik hoe de Nederlandse overheid "niet van de IT is", terwijl ze de grootste verwerker van data van het land zijn. Hier het vervolg, hoe zou je weer wel technologie kunnen omarmen? Want dat zou goed uitkomen in een wereld vol conflicten, AI-hackers, kwetsbare software & de dringende noodzaak niet 100% afhankelijk te zijn van big-tech die doet wat Donald Trump wil: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/hoe-word-je-weer-van-de-it/
