In de o-zo-niet-kritische journalistiek van vandaag de dag wordt er niet gerept over de enorme kostenbesparing door de zelfscankassa's. Alsof het geld kost. Alsof er geld bij moet. Niets van waar.
Er was wel iets met een topman en iets met zwart geld.

"Jumbo heeft last van allerlei kosten die gestegen zijn en ook van veel winkeldiefstal. Dat kost de keten één procent van de omzet, zo'n 100 miljoen euro."

I've tried in multiple browsers, both with and without plugins enabled, yet DuckDuckGo is still failing to provide search results (here, at least) just responding;

There was an error displaying the search results. Please try again.

It's been this way for several hours. Anyone else seeing the same? I'm in the UK.

@Yoss1960 @smallcircles Looks like https://mojeek.com is a great alternative.

@Yoss1960 It is on and off, probably depending on which results they are able to provide from other search engines.

If you're using for privacy reasons, this might be a good day to try https://www.mojeek.com/ (if you're Sussex based, they're a local company.)

Heaven for domestic abuse: a new spywaretool just up for grabs. It's like having Pegasus at home. What could possibly go wrong? Microsoft knows most families share their accounts or at least can easily log into eachothers accounts. They just choose to ignore it.

@SuperMoosie I guess this will be impossible in the EU, because of regulations, but in others countri3s, like the USA, this is less strict.

@ElBeeToots For now it is not mainstream. But it will be. My first computer at work had a 20 MB harddrive. Things go faster nowadays.

@ElBeeToots And something with electricity that powergrids cannot handle.
Good thing we have internet neutrality in the EU. I'm sure if we have that for power/energy.

Just spoke to a 🇺🇦 friend on the border of region near . I’ve never heard him this upset before

They are forced to only use drones because they can’t fire 🇺🇸 shells on territory. knows exactly where the C300 launchers & invading troops are located, but can’t fire

meanwhile, launch and retreat back across the border. Ukrainian forces are defending the country (and ) with one hand tied behind their backs

Toch handig om te weten als je gaat stemmen (tuurlijk) voor het Europees parlement: dit zijn de IT-experts.

@molly0xfff Somehow I feel this is pushed by the surveillance desires of governments. Can only hope I could be wrong here.

Een smerig stuk in het AD waarin de framing van Assange als naarling weer es niet van de lucht is. Al eet ie spaghetti met z'n tenen: het doet er geen fluit toe. Maar nergens in het artikel gaat het over zijn journalistiek. Het hele artikel voegt niets toe.
Blegh.

Last year I smelled their lovely scent everywhere in #Tirana, drowning the air pollution somewhat to the background: #Jasmine. Inspired, I planted some. Now I will have the scent in my own garden soon ... It is starting to bloom 🥰

Sorry to keep beating this drum, but we still need to raise money. We have a very serious situation that's ongoing. We raised about 500 of the 1500 needed, and then had to use it when one of our agents was arrested.

@trans_rescue Ah, yeah! Probably with single donations it might be possible. Hopefully.
