Telegram is a “safe haven for hackers, cybercriminals, and drug dealers,” a spokesperson for Amsterdam’s IT alderman Alexander Scholtes told the broadcaster. The city is also concerned about possible espionage through the app, even though it no longer has official ties to #Russia. Telegram was set up in Russia, but the head office has since moved to #Dubai, and the #company is officially located in the Virgin Islands.

Be ungovernable, like birds who make nests OUT OF ANTI-BIRD SPIKES. A new study describes resourceful Dutch & Belgian corvids besting evil architecture by stealing metal anti-bird strips and using them like thorny twigs, to construct their homes.

Like thorns, the spikes may protect their nests from predators.

Lead author Auke-Florian Hiemstra wrote an epic 🧵 about his research that's worth a read: https://twitter.com/AukeFlorian/status/1678703433900064773

People in #Rotterdam protesting because they want to keep their "right" to party....When hospitals are overcrowded, health-care staff is overworked, there is a housing crisis, energy prices are through the roof, etc... And these... I don't like to call people names, but I cannot find a polite way to refer to them... these people protest for their right to party. To party?!?! I just can't...

Coming from a country where people protest to be able to make ends meet, protest against the rampant corruption of politicians and the economical elite, where people lose their lives fighting for the well-being of their neighbors... Seeing these first-world protests fills me with disgust. These people will surely go down in history as the biggest jackasses to have ever used the word 'protest'

Attentie Nederlandse vrienden!

Mijn vrouw is bezig met een experiment en heeft Nederlandse moedertaalsprekers nodig om mee te doen. Zou u zo vriendelijk willen zijn om deel te nemen aan dit korte, webgebaseerde experiment? U zou een bijdrage leveren aan de vooruitgang van de wetenschap en aan de voltooiing van haar doctoraat 😀

Bij voorbaat dank!
