"Minister De Jonge announced this week that the government is not selling any land to Zeewolde for the time being. So the construction of Facebook's energy-guzzling #datacenter is fortunately one step further away.
We occupied the town hall in December and demonstrated together with farmers and citizens. In March we blocked the door to the Central Government Real Estate Agency. We are campaigning on social media. And campaigning works! Because Meta has postponed its arrival.
There is more! The opponents of the data center in #Zeewolde won big in the municipal elections. Objection procedures are underway. Critical questions are asked about the remarkably low land price when the municipality sold to a Meta shell company. That could be unwarranted governmental support, which could lead to the annulment of the deal.
The #Meta data center therefore seems less and less plausible. But we will continue to follow it, to prevent unexpected steps being taken by the municipality, the province, central government or Meta. If necessary, we will engage you again to take action with us. Hopefully it won't be necessary, but you never know. Thanks for now!"

Hi! I'm Soyun, an interdisciplinary artist from Korea, based in The Hague, The Netherlands.
With my interest in relationships between humans and machines, I create #performance, #installation, #film (s), often involving sound.
Recently I worked on a performance about machine learning and surrealism. https://soyunparrrk.com/projects/fantasia_realism
Also, I make an interview series hearing the stories of people who're building creative and supportive communities with positive use of technology. https://www.twitch.tv/rgbdogtv
Thank you for reading my introduction and nice to meet you all!
Hi, Iβm gwil. Iβm a programmer, illustrator, and father of two.
I used to work at a war crimes tribunal, a few e-commerce places, and am now using my practice to build alternative distributed #p4p systems.
Right now Iβm working full-time on Earthstar, a FLOSS tool for offline-first, small, undiscoverable networks. https://earthstar-project.org
I also used to have the time to make a lot of odd-format, narrated webcomics like this one: http://gwil.co/peaches/leader.
Thank you for letting me in here! #introduction
European public tech funders brand themselves as feminist yet actively cultivate a culture of precarity that disproportionately affects and excludes anyone with dependents, anyone who can't take financial risk, and anyone with a disability.
If you care for children as a single parent, or live with health issues, it would be supremely irresponsible to depend on the funding model. You either throw the future of you or your dependents into uncertainty, or you are excluded.

Vraagje aan Nederlandstaligen onder ons. Eugen gaat nu ook de laatste Toot-knop vervangen door Publish (in het Engels dan). Zie hier voor https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/108352418240054955.
Wat willen wij? Gewoon 'Toot!' laten, 'Publiceren' of 'Verzenden'. Die laatste hierom: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/18583#issuecomment-1143249190 Andere alternatieven zijn bijvoorbeeld 'Plaatsen' (zoals op Facebook) of 'Delen' (zoals op Instagram).
Persoonlijk vind ik Toot! als verzendknop nog steeds OK voor het Nederlands taalgebied, maar ik ben ook bang dat het een achterhoedegevecht is. Maar dan wel 'Verzenden'.
Wat denken jullie allemaal? (niet alleen die in cc)

Curiosity poll regarding social media approach.
Please boost because we're really curious about the experience-approach for as many users as possible.
We have excluded two options here and will explain why:
Twitter exclusively: probably not gonna see this poll if you don't use Fediverse at all
Spiderman: We assume everyone would add Spiderman to their options because of how polls work.
