@marleenstikker@waag.social Iedere keer als ik eraan herinnerd wordt dat de bank effectief een huis cadeau krijgt als iemand een hypotheek afsluit komt er stoom uit mijn oren.

@bert_hubert@eupolicy.social Het is wellicht een "hot take", maar dit is denk ik best een slimme keuze. Als advocaten iets goed kunnen dan is het wel het scheiden van hun eigen moreel en de belangen van hun clienten. Dat deze meneer TikTok, Meta en Uber heeft vertegenwoordigd zegt helemaal niks over zijn persoonlijke meningen. En hij weet hierdoor precies welke truukjes die bedrijven gebruiken om te proberen onder privacy regels uit te komen. Dus relevante kennis heeft hij zeker.

@RoosVonk@mastodon.social @ionica@mathstodon.xyz Het “dirty little secret” van de hypotheekrente aftrek is altijd geweest dat het de banken zijn die er vooral profijt van hebben. Reken maar eens uit hoeveel extra rente de bank opstrijkt omdat jij 30 jaar lang niks aflost. En dan dat vergelijken met wat het jou oplevert aan belastingvoordeel. Stoom uit mijn oren toen ik het door had.

@ibestuur @marleenstikker Het doorzichtige doel hier is natuurlijk het impliciete dreigement dat EU officials persoonlijk doelwit kunnen worden van wraak acties vanuit de VS, zoals ook al gebeurd is met medewerkers van het Internationaal Strafhof. Heeft de EU mogelijkheden om op te treden tegen buitenlandse regimes die dit soort fratsen uithalen?

@ronr@floss.social @zeurkous@mastodon.nl Hoewel ik het sentiment deel is “open source” hier niet het probleem. De software kan volledig FOSS zijn, als de service provider een Amerikaans bedrijf is dan geeft dat de Amerikaanse overheid via de CLOUD act toegang tot alle data.

@mxk @Frank_Juston One attempt at "safeguarding" an LLM I saw recently consisted of repeating variants of "You are a read-only agent" sprinkled across the system-prompt. Mind you, the way that agent worked was that you had to give it your full-rights personal access-token. It could do _anything_ you could, including wiping all data. And the only thing preventing this (or not, in fact) was a desperate plea to please not do that.

@storiespettinate@mastodon.uno @JohanDiederik@toot.community @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Don't feel bad. Here in the Netherlands, of the second (PVV), third (VVD) and fifth (JA21) largest parties are "Euro-sceptic" to varying degrees. The only silver lining is that the most anti-EU of those (PVV and JA21) will not participate in the new cabinet.

@storiespettinate@mastodon.uno @JohanDiederik@toot.community @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I agree with your feeling, but I feel compelled to point out that the (justified) criticism about the EU’s lack of power, democracy and union has come about because the democratically elected governments of the member states are unwilling to really cede power to the EU. Every country has political parties willing to go that route, but they are never elected.

@vowe not yet, as far as I know! I'm pretty diligent with testing when I experience any kind of symptoms, and so far none of them can be back positive, but I can't rule out I had it without symptoms
