En inderdaad, oude links naar de online productpagina (https://t.co/cRjqrYZo9E, https://t.co/ntwLvyM03J) geven "Alleen in de winkel" aan. Waarom gebeurt dit? Bij AH Compact snapte ik een beperkt assortiment, maar nu betalen we toch gewoon voor bezorging? 2/2

@albertheijn Ik kan sommige producten die voorheen online bestelbaar waren tijdens online bestellen niet meer vinden, zoals 500g spruitjes en AH vochtig toiletpapier 80 stuks. Maar in de winkel liggen ze gewoon nog (maanden nadat ze verdwenen zijn uit de zoekresultaten). 1/2

@jd7h Weird, why does the chocolate spell "volute"?

[Pol Van Aubel @polvanaubel]

@floorter Ah yes, the Fair Game exception.

@NS_online Mijn NS lijkt stuk. Getest op meerdere devices, verschillende browsers, verschillende mensen. Klopt het dat ik met een Flex-abonnement níks kan regelen (ook niet bijvoorbeeld een upgrade naar 1e klas) via bijvoorbeeld de kaartautomaten?

@UbisoftSupport @KPNwebcare Same: login issues in the Netherlands, ISP is KPN. Traceroute to https://t.co/fXOXhjWGmf (203.132.18.217) mostly does not go beyond https://t.co/FLwZdmIxJh, though some probes are answered by 139.156.98.101 (another KPN IP). Peering issue at KPN?

@smdiehl The day I unfollow you will be a good day.

[Pol Van Aubel @polvanaubel]

@smdiehl You're probably already aware but on the off-chance you're not, something's screwed up with the DNS of https://t.co/QNybiwXt2d. Been unreachable since at least 12 hours. You've probably got better things to do right now but not able to point people at your writing :-(

@bunq 🌈

[Pol Van Aubel @polvanaubel]

@bunq So, basically, first you increase fees, then instead of being a financially responsible institution you create a *lottery* that on average redistributes part of those fees to the people who already have the most money in their accounts. Any of that technically incorrect?

"Dymo is trying something unprecedented here. DRM in paper is such an abysmal, abusive idea that we should all recoil from it... This is one of those rare moments where a terrible plan is being hatched and we have the chance to stake it through the heart before it can reproduce."

Q. What's worse than printers with DRM ink?
A. Printers with DRM *paper*

@ZiggoWebcare @edwinf Waar in die veelgestelde vragen wordt deze interessante interpretatie van "vanaf <datum>" onderbouwd? Volgens die logica is 25 december 2036 namelijk ook nog steeds "vanaf 28 januari". Ik snap best dat het niet lukt om op tijd klaar te zijn maar dit soort spin is te belachelijk.

@Schellevis Verkopen op marktplaats is de nieuwe trend toch?

[Pol Van Aubel @polvanaubel]

@josephfcox And before anyone goes "Well *legally* they would be off the hook if...", A) under sensible laws (GDPR) I don't see a way in which this would fly at all, due to the nature of the information, and B) law and morality are two different things -- law usually follows, not leads.

[Pol Van Aubel @polvanaubel]

@josephfcox Why even bother mentioning "without consent"? As though it would somehow be okay as long as they ask the victim whether they agree to this?

@hdevalence Disclaimer: I don't *know*, it's just a semi-educated guess of what could be the reason for not evening out across a large area.

[Pol Van Aubel @polvanaubel]

@hdevalence Considering the way it's clustered, my guess would be there either is no transport capacity available at all to transport away from those negative areas; or using transport capacity would cost *even more* than enticing to consume locally.
