Shocking article about the ‘hysterical obedience’ in Germany:

very common in Germany, that to be law-abiding means not merely to obey the laws but to act as though one were the legislator of the laws that one obeys.

Nice docu. Interesting insights about how to run things, and how to do inclusion.

Very, very nice article about the independent web. For my students.

An attempt to explain some programming paradigm visually.

Chatbots vond ik al treurig. Nu is daar ook bewijs voor.

Interesting tool to see how music is linked. Works the same with all kinds of creativity and art of course, we could use more of these visualising tools

Natural colours, coloured landscape in Amsterdam

Very interesting article that points out that the EAA goes much further than the WCAG. We should focus on that as well.

validation and error messages

Absolutely fantastic article that calculates the amount of photons that reach the eye from a single, printed letter.

One of many people warning for a bubble

Tegen zomertijd.

Interesting observation that the idea and the form of a quick sketch changes.

While the idea is nice: own your time, don’t let notifications and managers own it. There is one important flaw though: the word billionaire. Becoming a billionaire is not a good idea, it is a ridiculous american dream.

A well informed rant against rutger bregman and his school for moral ambition, a powerwashing school for the elite, for them to feel good, but not to solve the issues they cause irl.

The question is just as relevant and just as meaningful as the question whether submarines can swim.

In retrospect, this accident of history has been a disaster, since almost all the opinions pushed by the commercial propaganda were false, and, in addition, the propaganda has been so effective that for many those opinions have become dogmata that can no longer be challenged without committing heresy.

I agree with the idea that businesses do not need to grow. Growth is the ideology of a tumor, of a parasite.

Tool for better audio control on Mac

Your brain is less active when you use tools instead of just your brains. Not very shocking. Rather obvious.

Fantastic article about NTP, the complex system that synchronises time on the internet.

A simple, understandable and affordable font licence

Mooi artikel over tijd, over The Clock, over de expo in Breda, over verschillende soorten tijd.

Excellent lecture about resisting AI.

I want to conclude by emphasising that the proposition that the role of the university is to resist AI is not simply a defence of pedagogy, but an affirmation of the social importance of imagination.
