Hoop gedoe over de kabinetsformatie. Uiteindelijk is het zo simpel: niemand vertrouwt Geert Wilders.
En terecht. Er is geen feit te vinden waaruit blijkt dat hij wel te vertrouwen zou zijn. Sterker, hij bouwt op Twitter gewoon door aan zijn gedachtegoed van leugens.
Wie wil er in een kabinet met deze man?
Cars don’t interest me much, but this Hongqi is wonderfully ugly.

Thumb leads to confusion.
Got up very early this morning with lots of energy. I finished reading Figuranten, which ends a bit in a minor way. At least that’s how I feel about it.
Made two videos from photos of our New Zealand trip. Then I was so tired I had to lie down again.
Music by Citizen DJ. Very good and not the usual YouTube ladida songs.
I listen to Kevin Kelly on the Design Matters podcast from Debbie Millman.
Kelly tells about his rebirth, and how he finds out how many years he has left to live, according to actuarial measurements. I mimic his method and land on 28 years. I will be 82 and my death date is in July 2049.
According to an American life expectancy calculator that includes some more data, I will live to be 94. I notice that mild alcohol consumption increases life expectancy.
Large organizations using open source AI should wonder what they are really adopting. I think large institutions like (benevolent) governments, banks, energy companies, banks, … – I probably mean those companies that have a lot of money and the capacity to change the system – should develop a more sophisticated and progressive open source agenda to create a human-oriented framework. Read Cory Doctorow’s Open AI isn’t.

Into Linda Barry. Great video of her drawing workshop. I am reading What Is It.
Tried fixing the battery my iPhone 8 through iFixit. Broke a display cable doing that. My fault I did not read the instuction well enough. Great tools though. Fix everything.
Apple announced Apple self repair. Probably anticipating Right to Repair directions by the EU. I wonder why these kind of laws never comes from the US.
In Japan, we experienced days of rain. In the Netherlands, we can have similar experiences. Mostly accompanied by lots of wind. For me, it’s in the end the wind that gets on my nerves. The rain has a fresh touch, but the continuous noise of the storm is hard to bear.
Last week we had a couple of storm-free Japanese-type rainy days. Between showers, I managed to take a nice walk with the dog, an umbrella, and my camera.

Trying to get my daughter’s Kobo reader working again. She let it sit for a while and missed an apparent crucial update. The normal Kobo update process does not work anymore. So I looked around and found that Kobo reader is open source and therefore there is a community helping with questions such as mine.
