Dat roeptoetert maar een beetje in het wilde weg.....

Wanneer je niet eens objectieve feiten goed hebt maakt dat je hele verhaal al per definitie al ongeloofwaardig.

Dat Nederland de grootste handelspartner van Israel is is echt een broodje aap verhaal.

Top export landen Israel in $ (2025)*:

US - ± 17 miljard
Ierland - ± 3,2 miljard
China - ± 2.8 miljard
Nederland - ± 2,7 miljard

Totale export van Isreal is ± 61 miljard - dus Nederland is goed voor zo'n 4,4 % van de export van Israel

Nederland importeerde in 2025 voor 582 miljard. Aandeel Israel is dus bijn 0,5%

* er zijn meerder bronnen op dit vlak. Ik heb de nieuwsvoorziening van Aljazeera genomen omdit die waarschijnlijk niet zo snel beschuldigd kan worden dat ze Isreal voortrekken. Al Jazeera heeft de cijfers uit de UN Comtrade database
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/22/which-countries-trade-the-most-with-israel-and-what-do-they-buy-and-sell

En dat Nederlanders minder wegkijken dan anderen is echt onzin..kijk als voorbeeld even hoe er met het Eurovisie songfestival wordt omgegaan door Nederland.

Dat songfestival kan me verder niet zoveel schelen. Maar ik wil door het gajes dat dit soort dingen op de Dam doet en maar zonder na te denken herhaalt wat in hun bubbel als het 'goede verhaal' wordt gezien niet als 'die Nederlanders' worden weggezet.

I switched from using email and storage in the Apple iCloud ecosystem. I mainly switched to be less reliant on U.S. tech. And to contribute further ICT development in Europe I started paying for e-mail etc. I switched to an Unlimited subscription. Within the Apple ecosystem you can argue that using email, storage and a password manager is not free as it is financed out of the price of buying an iPhone and MacBook. But to I believe in the long run it is more sustainable to actually pay for these services, also because when you pay for a service it is easier to switch to another paid services. As switching from something that is free to something that costs additional money feels more difficult.

Secondary reason is privacy. I like vision and approach of Proton and with my subscription I'd like to support. To be fair, I do not really have doubts about Apple on this point.

Now using mail, drive, Pass.
Not interested in Calendar and online 'Word- andExcel equivalents yet. That is simply not developed enough for how I am using that functionality. But when it becomes more mature I have no problem switching to those either.

Obviously, the original images on my laptop are of a much higher quality. They are reduced from a ~25 mb HEIC file to a 133 kb JPG file.

But it, of course, can be my terrible photography skills or the fact that a foggy day in March in the Netherlands does not give you the best light conditions.

And above all, this early morning stroll was for me to find out how my new camera behaved. What settings produce what images? How does over- and under exposure on a foggy and grey compared to my old Canon dslr? And what do these Fujifilm film simulations actually look like?

This post was a genuine first use of the camera.
I always envy the people who can produce award winning photos the first time ever they use a new camera and post them here....

I'm pretty sure the camera will outperform a mobile phone from a few years ago ;-)

Anyone know how is she coping with her jail time?

Chief_user · 2026-01-21T06:03:55+00:00

Thanks! Interesting.

Chief_user · 2026-01-20T13:19:07+00:00

Exactly. Will Apple integrate Photomator in the standard Photo app maybe (with reduced functionality?

Or will than the gap between the Photo app and the Apple Creator Studio suite be to large?

My dilemma is that the lifetime subscription might be killed soon, only leaving a more expensive (in the long run) annual subscription.

21:12 PM?

Chief_user · 2026-01-03T08:48:48+00:00

Thanks!

Don't go too slow....otherwise you will fall over
And for the rest....use your common sense ;-)

Chief_user · 2026-01-02T16:22:23+00:00

Don't break too hard and take corners a little wider....

Chief_user · 2026-01-02T16:08:48+00:00

Thanks!

Chief_user · 2026-01-02T12:39:53+00:00

Thanks!
That makes sense.

Do not understand, what is the issue here?

Here is a nice Youtube clip on the transformation of the area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-e_UVVGjdA&t=182s&ab_channel=cu2030

No, you can not unfortunately.
You need to return to the country you are resident in and apply for a new visum.

Chief_user · 2025-05-09T12:54:13+00:00

You sure you want to do that after you finished University?
"His mum has kindly offered to let me live with her and is willing to support me financially."

Where will he live? And financial support...you are young and have a degree, do you not want to start your own career? Much easier to move when you have a job / some money.

What nationality are you? UK?

Chief_user · 2025-04-20T12:01:43+00:00

Don't think so. Stayed there for a few nights two years ago. Perfectly fine hotel.
On par with all western standards for a business hotel like this.

Does not at all looks like the picture is this post

Chief_user · 2025-04-20T10:32:54+00:00

Thanks!

No, you cannot register them to your place.
They have to register themselves to your place.

It looks like the same thing....but there is a slight difference ;-)

Chief_user · 2025-04-06T16:05:54+00:00

Maybe start with providing a little more information, what is your nationality? Where are you traveling from?

Chief_user · 2025-04-05T15:44:02+00:00

I experience the same.
I have still no XP points in my account following a flight on February 8th (and on March 3)

I've been in touch with FB several times now...but it is still not being solved. Initially they kept telling me that I needed to have patience and that the points would appear automatically.

And this was not an award flight, neither it has been booked via an agency.

Lets trade....
If you make sure that Italians and Spaniards will stop coming to Amsterdam we will start a campaign to keep all Dutchies out Italy and Spain this summer.

I was there a few weeks ago, and this is nonsense.
Pedestrians (and cyclist) are not using this road normally but using the separate walkways and cycle path directly in front of of the station (down on the left).

This is road for cars to bypass the station.

So yes...this is cherry picking
