baguette
Housemaids were hurrying homewards with their purchases for various Gallic breakfasts, and the long sticks of bread, a yard or two in length, carried under their arms, made an odd impression upon me.

1·22 days agoThis has nothing to do with military spending. I agree with your notion.
This has to do with the response of European countries towards different conflicts. Most European countries preach to respect international law when it favours them, while at other times they look away (Ukraine), often not to step on Trumps toes (Venezuela, Palestinian territories, Iran). You’re not a defender of inter’l law when you’re not consequent in applying/defending it.
All these conflicts are initiated illegally, however Europe (generally) has only responded with disgust when Russia attacked Ukraine (and, if you think about it, way too late (remember Georgia, Crimea, Eastern Ukraine)).
Ik vind dit artikel spot-on. Het is al jaren gaande, maar met de escalerende acties van Trump des te duidelijker dat Europese landen debet hebben aan het ondermijnen van het internationaal recht. In plaats van toe te kijken en zeggen, tsja dat was het internationaal recht, zouden Europese landen het moeten verdedigen.
Die gebruikte ik voorheen ook wel, maar .ph, .today, .is etc zijn beheerd door de zelfde eigenaar (zie URLs in menuutje rechts). En net als Wikipedia vermijd ik het[1].
Uit de zelde Wiki-link: On 14 January 2026, it emerged that archive.today had inserted malicious JavaScript code in its CAPTCHA page to involve visitors in a DDoS attack against Gyrovague, and the archive.today blog posted public criticisms of Patokallio. Emails released by Patokallio show archive.today requesting the temporary removal of his report and later threatening him with AI pornography. On 20 February 2026, English Wikipedia editors banned links to archive.today due to the DDoS attack and evidence that archived content was tampered with to insert Patokallio’s name.) ↩︎
Voorwaarden zijn dat maximaal 200 kilo vuurwerk van het type F2 wordt afgestoken, dat het op een buitenlocatie gebeurt en dat het terrein goed bereikbaar is voor hulpdiensten. De personen die het vuurwerk afsteken krijgen het vuurwerk pas aangeleverd op 31 december. Zij mogen niet onder invloed zijn van alcohol of drugs. Bovendien moet de vereniging ingeschreven staan bij de Kamer van Koophandel.
Ps. van mij mag het ook volledig weg of alleen voor vuurwerkshows. Maar op zich vind ik de intentie niet verkeerd. Realistisch gezien kan ik me ook voorstellen dat dit de max is aangezien je de VVD nodig had.
Ja, zeer frustrerend, kinderachtig en onverantwoordelijk. Iemand die ik ken stemde erop omdat hij kosten wat kost niet wilt dat ‘links’ (D66 viel daar ook onder) ‘luie mensen’ helpt… Dit zijn gewoon verwende mensen die niet in kunnen zien hoeveel ze zelf gebruik maken van sociale voorzieningen (otw de ladder onder zich weg trappen (om maar even een engelse idioom te gebruiken)).
3·3 months agoI share that sentiment.
It just doesn’t mean international law means you can shoot whatever you want out of your airspace, nor if a state should want to set that precedent.
There are a lot of other things to consider, like which branch of international law is applicable here (not humanitarian law/law of armed conflict as there is no armed conflict between the concerned states and Israel).
Customary law is to be very careful shooting down planes that violates airspace (which I doubt is the case here, as I expect they were allowed to fly through their respective airspace).
Netanyahu is also not convicted yet. And not all states agree with the ICC’s interpretation of head of state immunity.
There is some reality that needs to be taken into account, both that states have questionable views on Netanyahu, as well as that certain actions leads to unwanted consequences and/or precedents.
I’d rather focus on the fact that all states have an (erga omnes) obligation to prevent and concern themselves with the ongoing genocide, acts against humanity, and war crimes.
Finally, let’s hope Netanyahu sets food in a state that will abide by the warrant and we see him in the Hague soon.
While I am also frustrated that many European states do not take their erga omnes obligations serious in regards to genocide, do I think shooting down a plane on the basis of a disputed warrant would not be a proportionate measure[1].
Generally planes can be ordered to land, but if they ignore that call and there is no further threat (like many Russian planes), they will generally escort these planes until they are out of the airspace. States do this based on the prohibition of the use of force as defined in article 2 of the UN Charter.
https://opil.ouplaw.com/display/10.1093/law:epil/9780199231690/law-9780199231690-e1138, ‘[T]here appears to be a measure of agreement at least insofar as a State can respond proportionally to the violation of its airspace by foreign aircraft (see Korean Air Lines Incident [1983]). However, there is an equal measure of disagreement as to the exact limits of this right. In any case, the principle of proportionality must be applied for every action taken. However, even in the light of these prerequisites, it is still highly disputed whether the downing of an aircraft constitutes a legitimate means in terms of ultima ratio’. ↩︎
They are indeed tracked down by fighter jets and followed out of the airspace. My point was more that international law doesn’t allow a state to just shoot stuff, even after a warning, when there is no immediate threat.
You don’t just shoot down planes that pose no immediate threat, even though they contain people with warrants or are not allowed in the airspace.
Even Russian planes are not shot down when entering European airspace.
It is going to be interesting to see if/when they move to opencloud (from open-xchange) where they have greater control of the feature-set and bug fixes as they are both part of Heinlein Gruppe.
Either way I am happy with them so far, while also having some minor annoyances (syncing of shared task list on iOS is a bit weird, and no IMAP VTODO (combined calendar and tasks)).
15·3 months agoI tried making my own, but generally I download them from Ankiweb. It depends on the deck how well build they are and which media they contain (audio/images/weblinks).
Anki?
FOSS and you can create your own decks or download those made by others.
Ik heb nu nog een Mac met een kleine ssd. Ik heb Asahi wel geprobeerd, maar die moet ik met een Mac partitie draaien, waardoor ik geen comfortable ruimte heb. Ik hoop dat in de nabije toekomst linux stabieler te draaien is op arm machines. Als ik dan ook (eindelijk) werk heb, ben ik over :) (tenzij het mogelijk wordt om linux als enige os te draaien)
