Three days after my car got stolen here is just a short list of things that happened: - 5 stages of grief - going through the ordeal of creating a police report - finding out they will investigate fuckall - tons of advise that feels like victim-blaming - awesome employer really stepping up to help

Being ill is a match and I am confident in the home team’s skill and advantage. Now, if you’ll excuse me I’ll be watching this game to its conclusion with tea and honey under a warm blanket.

I guess pride month is really starting to get all the bigots and hypocrites out of the woodwork. Two major controversies over the weekend within the EVE online community that has a long stranding history of support for LGBTQ+ rights and equality. At least the community is not standing for this.

Another beauty of a phishing attempt. The customs import fee scam. Dodgers subject (Noreply), dodge sender and reply-to address, grammatical errors and a link to an obscure domain. not a lot of effort put into it to be honest (thankfully) #odidohack #phishing #protectyourself

Another example of scams thanks to the #OdidoHack. Aside from the fact I’m not a customer at Bunq, the generic greeting, grammar issues, and the false sense of urgency are a dead giveaway this is fake. The email address itself is also fake. Banks will never contact you like this. Don’t fall for it.

Yet another wonderful scam provided to me through the #Odido #hack. What to look for is the recipient (non-specific), the salutation is non-specific, confusing text (both cosmic orange and desert titanium?), false sense of urgency, and the whole Paypal message is a GIF.

Another phishing attempt, this time the Amazon password recovery scam. The recipient is a mail alias, is missing a salutation, weird punctuation and formatting, and a direct call to action (phone number on top and the link below) rather than a statement to ignore. Do not be fooled. #phishing

I've decided I'll share all the phishing mails I get here. If anything to protect friends and educate them how to spot them. And maybe shame those who caused my data to be out there today. 😉

De eerste phishing mail als gevolg van het odido-lek heeft zich inmiddels aangediend. Een beetje een lage-inspanningspoging. Los van het feit dat CJIB je niet mailt (hoe komen ze aan je e-mailadres dan) is de aanhef al een dead giveaway. #phishing #odidohack

Today I canceled my ChatGPT subscription and tossed it off my phone as well. No company that supports a regime that has no qualms committing war crimes will get my money or my data. #quitgpt

There are times you feel there was too little weekend in the week. Today I feel like there was too little weekend in the weekend. #monday

I've been working in agile, collaborative environments for 1,5 decades, yet you still come across the trope project manager that thinks screaming in your face will be an effective strategy to get things done quickly.

I love Goldfinger. Such a classic. Imagine a world where a morally corrupt billionaire obsessed with gold, consumed by a desire to win is hellbent on enriching himself at the expense of an entire nation. Crazy, right?

I've hit my limit of Kafkaesque bullshit at my project for one day. I'm sure all my colleagues are capable, intelligent people, but having to deal with these processes that make no sense and result in absurd outcomes baffles the mind.

Too many projects, too many choices , too little time. Stuff in the house, stuff for the garden, reenactment stuff, 3D Printing stuff, video production and a parody song in the making. Plus 3-4 articles to finish. You might think I’ve a problem with finishing projects. 😂

Two months after my kitchen and utility closet flooded due to a faulty connection of the upstairs toilet to the pipes, the legal letter is in the mailbox. It feels like the opening shots in a battle I didn’t ask for but enough is enough.

Remember when Rick Santorum stated the elderly in the Netherlands had to wear special bracelet in order not to get euthanized? I miss the days when batshit crazy statements were the exception, not the norm, and people were called out for making them.

Nowadays a significant portion of the people are willing to put blinders on as long as the person making those statements wore the same colors as them. When winning becomes more important than objective reality, bad thing will follow.

I'm exhausted from all the Sturmabteilung-wannabe bullshit I am witnessing and the mental gymnastics performed to justify shooting an helpless, unarmed man in de back ten times. If you believe this murder was just, please just unfollow me. We apparently do not share the same reality.

Wat ik ironisch vind, is dat Wilder zelf D66 het platform heeft gegeven om zo’n groot te worden. Door weg te blijven bij debatten vanwege “dreiging” (een ‘slimme’ zet om het dialoog te ontlopen, en je achtban dat angstbeeld te verkopen) heeft D66 mogen aanschuiven en zichzelf kunnen profileren.

Onze polder Trump loopt te janken over gesjoemel. Met dit soort bullshit on gefundeerd de wereld in te gooien leg je een bom onder het hele democratie stelsel. Dat is niet verbazingwekkend voor een partij die door een autocraat wordt bestuurd.
