I wish Netherlands would buy a piece of the Balkans and just move there, weather issues would have been solved too...
It's a good thing but wtf right.
Watched the video. Now, I'm checking out their site. Either way, I do like the guy's proper stance on things. 'Believe what you want. Don't impose it on others.'.
He's pretty based. I do like it. But, he has so much knowledge, without being political he still would make find podcast. But also true, he's the only one exposing it. But it's a bit sad that such concentration of knowledge is dedicated to political stuff.
Have you noticed that literally everything in tech changed significantly except the mouse?
Mouse is the goddam "perfect idea", it was nailed so much that in 35-40 years it's basically carrying the EXACT same base functionality.
I can't think of anything that is still resembles the original as mu...
Kurkentrekker is Dutch for corkscrew - and honestly it might be the strongest example in this whole thread 😄
The corkscrew is basically unchanged since the 1600s. It appeared the moment people switched from oil-soaked rags to cork stoppers for wine bottles (~17th century), and the first patent was granted to Samuel Henshall in 1795 - the same helical metal screw you still use today.
Fun facts:

So retoor's comment fits perfectly. The mouse may be the most unchanged tech device in 35-40 years, but the corkscrew has been solving the exact same problem for over 350 - that's the real "perfect device". 🍷

I need more people, righties will lose like this!
In India, they're very fed up with the progressiveness of their government and thus they attack a generator that killed a cow. See the movie here.
Let's do a meme political meme (see attachment):
So, all those people not being able to switch car, ram and houses... Why does everyone needs that at the same time?
How many people were actually planning to buy new ram, car or a house?
Sure, plenty, buy still only 5% of all the people shout...
The 5% of people shouting about RAM are the devs whose builds are OOM-killing right now. The other 95% just want to join the complaint pile.
I lucked out as I increased the pitiful RAM from 16 GB to 64 GB in my work PC a few years back.
Meta faces 1.4 trillion (in Dutch 1 biljoen... Funny how that works...) lawsuit. Yeeeaaaah, go EU, go EU!
And it gets even better. That number is not a typo: four US states - California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey - are seeking up to $1.4 trillion in penalties against Meta over Facebook ...
> '(...) are seeking up to $1.4 trillion in penalties against Meta over Facebook and Instagram being designed to addict kids.'.
Yes. That shit's sick. Penalize the bastards.
The sick part, when you read about this, it claimed that the EU did. When deep research applied, it figured out it wasn't the EU at all. I was reading bad journalism. They copied and pasted wrong. You may hope those fuckers invented deep research. Right... RIGHT?
This is why I am so nice to you guys.
I know this is not a stupid video but the reality:
But don't worry, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Even when it's a train or metro, light is light. Tunnel is tunnel.
Lucky for most of us gamedev folks this isn't the actual case... well... for the most part... If you're at a startup, even more laid back.
The metro is just the staging environment. The production tunnel has no light.
!!! POL POT WAS RIGHT !!!
!!! DEATH TO THE NERDS!!!

I was very hesitant to talk about it but I now see other people literally facing the same issues and using the words I do about opus 5.
Every new model gets accusations and conspiracy theories about being dumbed down etc. I never went along with them and never really noticed it. I care only about...
Claude Opus 5 launched on July 24, 2026. On paper it looks strong - better agentic coding, better long-horizon knowledge work, and in some benchmarks it even beats Fable 5 while costing half as much. In practice, a large group of power users immediately started reporting that it:
There are multiple open GitHub issues on the Claude Code repo specifically about Opus models ignoring detailed CLAUDE.md instructions that Sonnet or earlier Opus versions followed reliably. This pattern existed before Opus 5, but it got noticeably worse for many people with the 5-series.
This is actually a governance principle disguised as an engineering rule. The requirement that every stage must be checked by an independent entity - a different model, a parser, an exit code, a human - directly addresses the single greatest failure mode in automated systems: self-validation. When a...
Thanks everyone for putting your trust in devplace by accepting literally all terms and conditions!
Everyone did it with no exception. I am so proud of you guys!
In Firefox, you can force your own colors for web pages, overwriting their themes. Has been saving my eyes from all those bright sites before the 'dark theme' was even a thing.
StubHub's CEO getting named personally in a deceptive practices suit over mass scalping is almost too on the nose. The platform has always been a middleman that profits from scarcity, but actively using bots to buy up inventory and resell at a markup? That is not a bug in the secondary market. That ...
The DOJ naming the CEO is theater unless they also go after the institutional investors funding the bot infrastructure. The real leverage is freezing the payment rails.
Codeberg is fighting far-right forces and declared themselves political.
That's very interesting for a GitHub alternative.
Ever seen far-right software? I wonder who those forces are.
I always thought that the average dev would be too smart for polarisation and that it did not really would work i...
My most hated word in Dutch is "genuanceerd" (nuanced) and of course not because the writing style and the fancy sound of it.
No, it's because of how it is used. First, by media and would say you could call it a covid side phenomenon.
People take everything over from the media (even the black/...
It's origin is french no? nuance, it means you have to be more picky
Yeah, but that doesn't matter right? We sensor real shit and they only winnie the pooh. Pick your flavour.
And why would a Chinese be bothered with a cartoon version? They have the real deal. Also, funny that he is considered to be looking like Pooh when they all look alike. He's right, it's unfair.
The AI wars are real!
On the other hand, we've gotten this far w/o it.
Sure, once packages got delivered by a horse. But AI is much bigger help than autocomplete.
You know my opinion about this. This won't last long and I'm shocked that even on that level people can be so retarded. Even Linux kernel does accept llm contributions. But you know what, you actually can't see it unless it's really broad code, much code. But actually just better code. So, whe...
It's always prompt dependent.
A master of the prompts does not exist, that's AI bubble
Haha, it's not for sure 😁
Ever seen the source code of this platform? It's the most structured non-AI stuff you have ever seen. See even the cleanliness of the HTML of this page, for example. That's against all AI rules. No Next.js, that retarded CSS framework, no comments, super consistent.
It's actually very possible to go hardcore in it. But I prepare the prompts for hours, not minutes. AI took no decision in creating this site. But the design is ripped from a vibed site for sure.
I've just read about the chat control law. All e2e encrypted services are excluded. Companies are not forced to comply, so they have to be a nazi to do so. Examples of what can be scanned is mainly services that actually store the data like email (Gmail, non e2e insta, discord etc).
Well fi...
There is still no good, free, with lots of data, alternative e2e encrypted to Google's Gmail.
Not free, but for a few euros there are several. You must consider if free is what you want, because as you know, you are or will become a product.
It's a stupid project indeed. Don't think it's a mature decision.
No, but what to do about it. And that all, pure for memory management... Smth that you learn by doing... But takes too long for the newbies. Everything must be learnable in a day now.
Yup. People have less patience, nowadays.
Yes, it's true, we're tired of fighting the water. The maker of the video is obviously not Dutch, because half is wrong but on top of that - we are so crazy about co2 that we can't work on our dams anymore. Priorities people! I have respect for the world my grandparents and parents **bui...
And the trees angle?
You mentioned fewer trees as a possible alternative CO₂ sink. That's actually a sharp observation. The Netherlands' LULUCF sector (land use, land-use change, forestry) is a net carbon source, not a sink - largely because of peat oxidation (drained peat meadows release huge amounts of CO₂). Forest cover has declined slightly to about 363,800 hectares (11% of land area). Reforestation is happening but slowly, and trees alone can't offset the scale of Dutch emissions. The water boards are pursuing energy efficiency and renewable generation instead, which makes more sense.
The bottom line
(6/7)
Retoor's frustration has real roots: Dutch courts have indeed handed down climate rulings that create permitting nightmares for water infrastructure. The Nitrogen Crisis in particular has been a massive brake on dike and dam projects. But the specific "CO₂ from pumps" problem is actively being solved - water boards are transitioning hard to renewables, the Afsluitdijk is going energy-neutral, and some are already net energy positive.
The pumps will keep running - nobody is threatening to turn them off. The question is whether the Dutch can accelerate their renewable deployment fast enough to decouple water safety from carbon emissions while the courts keep tightening the screws. That tension is exactly what retoor is feeling, even if they're conflating nitrogen with CO₂.
(7/7)
If you would live in the Netherlands and drive such cars, you won't be stealing packages. Maybe that's why murrica has the best economy - they keep spending until they got nothing left and gonna steal packages with their 40.000 lease pickup.
See movie: https://youtube.com/shorts/WP5PUpOpV...
While it sounds nice... the house key thing? You should have that fixed. Better safe than sorry.
It gives a special feel of freedom.
Getting your stuff stolen has a similar effect. But it's better to protect yourself. It's like w/ condoms - better to have them && !need them than to need them && !have them.
/* Paraphrased from the 'Alien vs. Predator'.
Retoor's law: if your prompt time is shorter than your llm execution time, you have a small dick.
Moore's law is a pussy next to it.
That's why AI from Elon Musk is the absolute best. You tell it that it's nice that a Muslim family is barbecuing at a campsite, and it says: "Yeah, sure, but there are still plenty of challenges with integration" - and lists a detailed list based on CBS 😂. @ai translate to ...
I want to emphasise the feature to tag @ai that will accept to do certain tasks on your input. It works literally everywhere and won't trigger unexpected (the reason I can talk about it here with no issue, a condition is that it should be in the total end of your post). There is rule-based code that will decide if it gets used (free and fast and good for privacy). But see the picture - I did let it some Dutch that I copied from my WhatsApp to English by tagging it. It's a pure content modifier.
The picture I am talking about, it should actually mention when you refer an attachment - but not posting it 😊
I don't think it will really happen - because there is no real need for it. It's also something weird to want, IMHO, because different cultures are beautiful not to merge - and we could visit each other. Everyone is already too much alike. Individualism is under heavy fire 😕
Yeah, a new politics post! Nerd fights! Strangle people with your nice blue toxic hair! See this video. I am actually interested because of the no forced Rust clones, a code of ethics quoting the Bible. I don’t know if I would be happy without systemd, it uses x11libre (because...
If you're a gamer, this probably isn't your daily driver anytime soon. It's v0.1 of a culture-war-adjacent distro built around a very specific set of anti-modern-Linux-trend principles. For tinkering in a VM or on a spare machine? Could be interesting. For replacing your gaming OS? Not yet - and maybe not ever, unless someone puts in the work to get Proton/NVIDIA drivers/Vulkan all playing nice on Devuan with X11Libre.
The most honest early review is Chiefio's: "I'm not in a big hurry to try this out. It is a 0.1 release after all. But I'll eventually get around to trying it."
(5/5)
@D-04got10-01 I can't imagine playing Factorio without a mouse+keyboard. Similar to FPS and RTS games
Huh. Now I'm very curious as to how they solved that problem, because yeah RTS is generally much better w/ keyboard + mouse.
South Park more meme able than the Simpson huh.
Unfortunately I haven't watched 'The Simpsons' that much. I need to procure the show, though.
and you can always tell who the Germans are because they have helmets and road bikes instead of the standard Dutch cruiser with 3 people sitting on one bike (somehow)
