...of the Gyrobus, which was developed by Swiss engineers. (Turns out the Swiss invented, and still invent, a lot of things.)

3 pantographs drew power to send a 3-ton flywheel spinning; this in turn ran the bus for up to 6 km.

First tested at Zurich airport, then used in #Belgium and the #Congo.

It’s starting: Frontex is being deployed in Belgium

„The government had announced it, and now it’s happening: since last week, the first Frontex agents have been on duty at Zaventem airport.
The government’s goal is clear: the Minister of the Interior (Quintin, MR) and the Minister of Asylum and Migration (Van Bossuyt, N-VA) are delighted with this new collaboration. With the support of Frontex, they want to increase the number of deportations by plane.

Anyone staying illegally in Belgium must return to their country as quickly as possible. Thanks to Frontex’s intervention, we can speed up the pace of return operations.’
(Van Bossuyt)

The Frontex agency is the armed hand of the European Union: officially, in the words of the EU, Frontex ‘guarantees the safety and smooth functioning of external borders by ensuring security’.

In reality, Frontex is a deadly agency, already responsible for the deaths of thousands of people every year at the borders of Fortress Europe.“

We can only fear the worst with the new ‘collaboration’ between police officers and Frontex.

Borders kill. Down with borders.

“Belgium to recognize Palestine, sanction Israel”

https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-to-recognize-palestine-sanction-israel/

But still “only … if Hamas releases all remaining Israeli hostages kidnapped in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and the militant group ‘no longer has any role in managing Palestine’”

How odd: nothing about disbanding the IDF and ensuring that the Israeli government that is checks notes COMMITTING GENOCIDE no longer has any role managing Israel?

“In the meantime, Belgium will also impose ‘firm sanctions’ on the Israeli government, Prévot said. The measures include a ban on importing products from illegal settlements, a review of public procurement policies with Israeli companies and restrictions on consular assistance to Belgians living in illegal settlements.”

This part sounds good but I’ll believe it when I see it.

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/
