It’s also clearly still in development and doesn’t really work well yet, so while fun, probably not something you’ll want to use yet. It’s not even at the point where reporting bugs makes sense.

2·2 days agoYes, every browser caches resources that multiple pages of the same site use, unless the site instructs them not too.
It is also the case that almost every modern browser does not share those caches between different websites, to avoid providing a mechanism for them to share data. This means that for websites, it is no longer beneficial to use CDNs, if it ever was - in practice, it was also the case that only very few CDN resources were actually shared between different websites (since they all depended on different versions or different CDNs).
The best thing you can do is not mess with the settings and leave them at the defaults, otherwise the mere fact of some data not being available already makes you stand out, in addition to breaking some websites.
It’s on the roadmap, though I imagine doing it properly is going to take a while - the test build was very rough, just to verify whether it was even realistic.
2·7 days agoThat is a classic. Personally, for the Netherlands, I was thinking some Doe Maar.
Or possibly Little Green Bag, but I’m guessing that doesn’t fit the “relatively unknown outside the Netherlands” criterion, nor is it in Dutch.
As @[email protected] always emphasises: make sure to file a report at https://webcompat.com!
We ask everyone to file their reports, because all reports are really useful. Even if we don’t respond to every single thing you report, it’s a signal that we’re processing in many different ways. (…) please, keep reporting all issues you see, because every single blip counts!

But also leaving the artist’s signature on an edited comic and not mentioning it’s modified feels shitty too
Removing their signature would be way shittier 😅 And it’s pretty clear that it’s edited anyway.
There’s definitely the bureau kredietregistratie in the Netherlands.
As far as I know you can’t “freeze” it like you describe, though you can request information on what is stored about you and who accessed it. It also costs money to run a check, and credit history doesn’t go back more than five years, doesn’t include your mortgage unless you missed paying that for longer than three months, and doesn’t include debts less than €250.
Edit: also just checked, but the information is only shared with parties that share credit history with the BKR. I think that means that it’s basically frozen by default, i.e. only parties that are actually about to do business with you can access it, but I’m not entirely sure. They’ll at least have to do some kind of business, i.e. not be a generic data broker.
Was also asked about and answered in the recent AMA on reddit:
3·14 days agoOh yes, I’m not doubting it would be a multi-year effort, it’s more that I’m not aware of any such effort being in progress. Like, couldn’t the EU at least have set a goal of interoperability in
xyears?
I took a trip from the Netherlands to Romania, and amazingly only had a single transfer.
At least, that was the plan, but then a train went missing on the way there and we had an additional transfer. Pretty stressful. Way home was super smooth though.
The one thing I don’t get the EU doesn’t bring down the hammer on is getting directions and buying tickets. Feels like that should be a relatively easy fix, forcing all European rail companies to align from the top down. But I’m probably unaware of something that makes that harder than it seems.
3·17 days agoIf you’re in the centre of my city, it really is quite lovely on a summer day. Masses of people, but their sound is calm and not that noisy.
Granted, it’s not a huge city on the scale of NYC, but it would still be terribly noisy if 10% of those people had been in cars.
That’s some fine future Dutch soil you got there.
Their main point is that they want to enable true pan-European parties 😅
Yeah, which seems a bit of a hassle, given that there’s only two possible opinions one could have on any given matter. Don’t know why they bother with more than two parties, really.
The Netherlands has Stemwijzer and Kieskompas. Of course, we already voted on Wednesday.
In the Netherlands, the parties PvdA and GroenLinks have started working together very closely, participating in elections with combined lists. They did the same for the EP elections, but had the challenge that PvdA was part of S&D, whereas GroenLinks was part of the Greens.
They went for the same solution: half the list (the PvdA part) will join S&D, and half (the GroenLinks part) will join the Greens. They will align their votes, though.
The way I interpret that, is that it’ll be easier to influence the Greens (since it’s a smaller group and thus GroenLinks is a larger part of it), but if the S&D position can be swayed, it’ll have more effect. And in general, both parties presumably aren’t that far from their group’s stances anyway.
Polls predicted both to be at around 8 seats. Exit polls have PVV at 7, Labour-Greens at 8, with a margin of error of 1. So pretty much what was expected.
Whether one or the other is larger is mostly irrelevant, as that only pertains to the Dutch share of seats in the European Parliament - there are way more seats to be assigned, and there will not be an absolute majority for anyone anyway.
