Hey everyone and especial #belgium #belgique ppl,

After a few days of work I've finally fixed and brought back a lot of events sources in #HackerAgenda

HackerAgenda is a website that gather events in Belgium meant to interest hackers from various website and brings them in a central place, because it's always hard to know what is happening right now.

I've mostly fixed most existing sources of events and removed the ones that seems dead (and update all dependencies)

https://hackeragenda.be/ (all events https://hackeragenda.be/?section=all)

This website is more than 10 years old so it probably needs quite some modifications to be up to modern standards (and accessible >_>) but I'm kinda the only one working on it so don't hesitate if you want to contribute: https://github.com/YoloSwagTeam/hackeragenda/

Spain reached the quarterfinals of Women's Euro 2025 on Monday after the world champion hammered Belgium 6-2, while Italy was held to a 1-1 draw with Portugal at the death. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/07/08/soccer/spain-belgium-euro/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #soccer #women039seuro2025 #spain #belgium #italy #portugal

There are protests everywhere, including here in #Belgium. On Sunday (11 May), tens of thousands of Belgians took to the streets in #Brussels to demand an end to the blockade and the war on #Gaza.

A week later, on 18 May, a hundred thousand #Dutch people held a march through The Hague with the same demands.

Geert Wilders wrote on X: "Today demo in Dhaag against Israel + for Hamas. Thousands of confused people draw a red line. I also draw a red line. Against terror and starving their own people by Hamas and for maximum destruction of their murderous infrastructure. And for Israel."
So the rest of the world sees this differently.

...For about a week now, we have been reading increasing criticism of Israeli and US policy in #US newspapers. #France, the #UK and #Canada are suddenly threatening concrete action if Israel continues the blockade and war. Belgian rectors took the lead with the joint demand to suspend the #European Association Agreement with Israel.

Many will feel that all this does not go far enough. Indeed, that resolution can be criticised.

The decision by the European Foreign Affairs Council to first "investigate" whether or not Israel is in compliance with human rights before it wants to review the association agreement is also more than cynical.
