Burgemeester Femke Halsema staat toe dat Amsterdamse boa’s een hoofddoek en andere religieuze uitingen kunnen dragen. @AmsterdamNL - mogen Pastafarische BOA's hun vergiet ook dragen?

I make maps with satellites and lasers?

we should break office dress codes so that people feel free to completely express themselves through clothes at work and we get offices like this

@EmmettMaps I noticed it too, however when people do ask follow-up questions they have this very outdated image of cartography. I think it falls within the category of easy to understand jobs because it is portrayed in media/stories but not in a way that is very true to contemporary carto.

Reconstructie: in januari 2022 werd op Schiphol een Keniaanse verstekeling gevonden in het landingsgestel v/e net geland vliegtuig, onderkoeld en buiten bewustzijn. Wie is hij? En waarom deze wanhoopsdaad? „Volgens mij beweegt hij nog.” ⁦@nrc⁩ https://t.co/I52IWM4JgT

Microsoft Teams is an abomination of a product.

The only reason companies use it is because it's included with an Office 365 subscription.

I'm not convinced that even a single designer ever worked on it

Honderdduizenden mensen kregen zojuist een #NLAlert. Daarin wordt opgeroepen om @BrandweerAA op Twitter te bekijken voor updates. Sinds kort kan dat niet zonder een Twitter account.😐

In geval van nood dien je niet een Twitter account aan te moeten maken, lijkt ons! @NCTV_NL

Never underestimate the power of people with lots of money feeling like they aren't being properly respected.

we’re going to look back at how we designed the world around computers with the same regret that we look at how we’ve designed cities around cars

I finally found an article discussing this, so I guess I'll just answer my own question in case anyone else thinks it is useful: https://t.co/dju0FVYfrA

#gischat Q for others that are in the Esri ecosystem. My colleagues have recently started discussing the end of life of WebApp Builder. Something I have been hearing is that we need to fully migrate to Experience Builder, does anyone have any blog/news posts about this?

[Pieter @PieterCappon]

I'm asking because I can't seem to find any definitive news about it. Idk where the notion that Experience Builder is supposed to be the replacement came from, all my colleagues just seem to be repeating some rumour.

Ondertussen vraagt de veiligheidscoördinator in dezelfde stad bewoners lid te worden van WhatsApp-groepen, te mailen naar Gmail en voor publieke info te kijken op Facebook.
