@axel_ronse awel leugenaar, ge zijt zo stil na dat uw leugens in’t lang en in’t breed over heel twitter gesmeerd worden? Of hebt ge dat ook niet gezegd misschien? Kunt ge ons enkele tips geven hoe we alle andere dingen die ge zegt moeten geloven?
Nederlands

🇧🇪 PM De Wever: "Belgium strongly supports the 20th package of sanctions against Russia, especially measures on oil and gas. We must continue: 100% support for Ukraine and 100% pressure on Russia — while also pursuing negotiations."
I don't understand this man. One day he says outrageous things, and the next he seems completely sane. 🤷♀️

@kgelner @wiesson @Winterrose All the other ways everyone on the internet can track you dwarf any javascript crap. It’s like there are laws against pooring your bucket directly into the ocean. Wherever you empty your bucket it’s ALWAYS end up in the ocean.
English

Did you forget to read what he said? Because what he said was he wanted to set his level of acceptance and have that apply across all sites without having to agree to each one - which could include "do not accept".
But yeah I personally do not care about trackers and JavaScript, why should I? I'm extremely technical and realize how little it matters.

Seven clocks are running. None of them negotiable. All of them counting down to the same weeks.
The planting clock. Mid-April is the biological deadline for corn and soybean planting across the US Midwest. Every day that passes without nitrogen becoming affordable and available narrows the window for corn. USDA projects corn falling to 94 million acres from 98.8 million. Soybeans rising to 85 million from 81.2 million. The seeds that go into the ground in the next three weeks determine America’s grain harvest in October. The decision is irreversible.
The USDA clock. March 31. Prospective Plantings. The report that converts farmer intentions into official data. Every acreage number, every corn-soy ratio, every nitrogen-dependent calculation becomes a published fact that traders, governments, and food agencies will use to model global supply for the next twelve months. The number arrives in twelve days.
The FAO clock. April 3. The Food Price Index. The first global reading that captures post-Hormuz commodity prices across cereals, vegetable oils, dairy, meat, and sugar. The 2022 peak was 159.7 in March 2022 after Ukraine. This reading will incorporate oil above $100, urea at $610, LNG halted, packaging repriced, and freight surcharges of $500 to $1,500 per container. The number that determines whether the UN declares a food emergency arrives in fifteen days.
The pharmaceutical clock. India’s API inventory buffers are two to three months, measured from the war’s onset on February 28. Late May is the depletion window. Methanol at 87.7 percent Hormuz exposure feeds the solvent chain for paracetamol, ibuprofen, metformin, and antibiotics. Once buffers deplete, the shortage becomes a patient access crisis for the 47 percent of US generics that originate in India.
The China crude clock. FGE NexantECA confirmed China is drawing commercial reserves at up to one million barrels per day. The draw sustains refinery operations for four to six weeks from March 19. Mid-April to late April is the exhaustion window. After that, China faces three options: accelerate Russian pipeline imports, reroute at massive premium, or crack open the strategic petroleum reserve. The third option reprices every commodity on the planet.
The helium clock. SK Hynix and Samsung hold two to three months of helium inventory. Late May to early June is the depletion window. South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. Ras Laffan is offline. If helium buffers deplete before alternative supply arrives, semiconductor fabrication faces rationing. The AI hardware supply chain hits a physical wall measured in months, not quarters.
The insurance clock. Solvency II requires 30 to 60 days of zero incidents before P&I clubs can reinstate war risk coverage. Even after a ceasefire, the insurance normalisation takes six to sixteen months based on the Red Sea precedent of 26 months and counting. The logistics system lags the financial relief rally by the longest duration of any clock in this crisis.
Seven clocks. The shortest expires in twelve days. The longest runs for over a year. The planting window, the USDA report, the FAO index, the drug buffers, the Chinese crude draw, the helium inventory, and the insurance cycle are all counting down simultaneously. None of them pause for diplomacy. None of them respond to presidential directives. None of them read sealed packets.
The calendar is the only actor in this war that has never lost a negotiation.

😠 Devs weren't even shown DLSS 5 before the reveal
While publishers approved the tech demo for their projects, developers were left out of the loop. This came as a shock to the teams behind Resident Evil Requiem and Assassin's Creed Shadows.
The Capcom situation is especially surprising since the company had always been strictly "anti-AI". Now devs are worried that policy might change soon.м

🫵 You're all wrong, got it? Jensen Huang responds to gamers upset about DLSS 5 The NVIDIA boss said gamers are "completely wrong" about the tech because they don't understand how it works. The technology combines geometry, textures and everything else with neural networks. It's not post-processing, which means everything stays under the artistic control of the developers. So nobody's figured out how to control it yet?

@ScienceGeeknl Het kleinste kind weet dat Louis zijn tactiek al eeuwig hetzelfde is: open vragen, laat de geïnterviewde zelf maar vertellen. Heb je gezien hoe onzeker die kerels zijn? Hoe dat ze helemaal niet zo stoer zijn bij hun eigen vrouw?

Schokkend, deze docu over de manosphere (Netflix).
Haat zaaien als verdienmodel. 'Wees een echte man, onderdruk vrouwen en andere volkeren!'
(Opvallend: internationaal x-treem rechts demoniseert juist Joden ipv Islam.)
En miljoenen jonge jongens die hen aanbidden.

It only took one phone call from Putin, didn't it ?

Belgian PM Bart De Wever is a disgrace to Europe. By openly calling for normalized relations with Russia for cheap energy, he is completely selling out Ukraine. This short-sighted appeasement is dangerous, pathetic, and a total betrayal of our values
English

Dit wist hij niet toen hij de sancties tegen Rusland steunde?
‘Geef mij dan eens een antwoord op de vraag waar we onze energie vandaan zullen halen?’: De Wever verdedigt zich na uitspraak over Rusland

Nederlands

'We zijn voor 87% afhankelijk van import voor onze energievoorziening. Maar volgens sommigen met héél nobele intenties mag die enkel komen van regimes die even liberaal en democratisch zijn als wij. Dat is m.a.w. niemand. De kernuitstap was waanzin in deze context.' @Bart_DeWever

I can definitely feel my article about Palantir being suppressed.
Why would Musk do that?

@RoyGrinwis Hahaha, heb je dit zelf bedacht? Vind je zelf dat het goed gaat? Je had hier toch beter eerst zelf eens aan gerekend in plaats van iemand te papegaaien. Of je gaat toch niet beweren dat jíj́ hier zélf op gekomen bent? Hahahaha oh boy in dat geval

±350 km over land
Truck ±60 km/u → ~6 uur
tanken, douane, koffie en een broodje bal → ~10 uur per rit.
Dus met ongeveer 15.000 trucks draait de wereldoliehandel vrijdag gewoon weer.
