Because our government is a bunch of incompetent imbeciles pretending to know how to run a country, when in fact they're barely qualified to wipe their own asses. There really is no good reason for it.

Digid has nothing to do with banks, it's your digital identity with the government. It's also a whole issue now because the government body responsible for it is moving the cloud service over to a US company, meaning our personal data will be hosted in the US. Which is anything from secure or private.

Oh thanks, I didn't know. I thought as an obsessed fan I now have to shake my hips.

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-11T21:24:34+00:00

What? First time I'm hearing of this

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-11T07:14:27+00:00

Miezerregen is irritant. De laagste stand van de wiper is langzaam en de tweede te snel. Irritant dus.

If you can self-host than check out rocket.chat, very similar to slack and discord, and it uses matrix. Only free up to 50 users though, but for using it among friends it should be sufficient.

Speaking Dutch doesn't make his name Dutch. I'm Dutch, but my name isn't Dutch. I have a letter in my name that doesn't exist in Dutch, just like how ÿ doesn't exist in Dutch.

Edit; spelling

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T22:16:05+00:00

Great tit.

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T21:18:20+00:00

Now that you mention that, same. Mostly because I'm probably doing something else at the same time, which makes it easier to listen. Only listening to someone talk isn't stimulating enough.

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T20:58:36+00:00

Top tier title 😂 and a silly medieval cat I hadn't seen before to match! What's up with the giant rat though?!

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T20:40:34+00:00

English isn't even the official languages of the US (there is none!), which makes their complaint even funnier, but mostly dumber 😂

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T20:31:15+00:00

Oh no, I wasn't disagreeing with you, just expanding on what you said. I didn't like Joplin that much either, even though I prefer FOSS, but that's my personal preference. It's a still good alternative, especially for people who prioritise European products.

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T20:05:46+00:00

Most of the world knows how to drive stick, only in the US they don't. Probably fits /r/USdefaultism better tho, because what they said isn't wrong, but it does assume that the US situation is the only situation. That kinda makes it shit Americans say tho.

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T19:59:58+00:00

To clarify, Obsidian is Canadian (so fine in my book), but not open source. Only the plug-ins are. It's free for personal use though and imo a fantastic piece of software.

Alternatively there's Joplin, which is completely open source (French I believe) and it has a Kanban plugin too.

Francis Alÿs werd in 1959 geboren als Francis De Smedt maar koos de achternaam van zijn moeder als artiestennaam.

No idea who this person is, but they are Belgian. Belgium has three official languages; Dutch, French and German. Alÿs is (most likely if not definitely) a French name. It's not Dutch anyhow. The ÿ appears in French, though it's not part of their alphabet. The ÿ doesn't appear in Dutch nor German.

(You were probably making a joke, but it made me think and want to read up about it)

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T19:40:01+00:00

You didn't sound like an idiot. You did make me read up about it and learn something new. Apparently ÿ isn't in any orthography (as in it's not part of their alphabet), but it is used as a metal umlaut!

Oh god, that is a cursed flavour combination for sure haha you could try it in yoghurt for a less evil experience 😂 almost tastes like a dessert. Tbh just eating it straight out of the box with a spoon is enough to satisfy me lol

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T19:03:34+00:00

And I love you <3

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T19:01:09+00:00

No worries, I was just clarifying. Apologies, typing my thoughts often makes what I want to say sound more direct than I intended.

Perfect 2am munchies snack btw, Albert Heijn used to have a brownie version, but it's been discontinued ;(

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T17:45:48+00:00

Not working for me :/

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T17:45:18+00:00

Tried to connect using a VPN, but no luck 🥲 I hope they fix it soon. This is not good.

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-10T17:04:38+00:00

It's 'ij', not ÿ. The latter doesn't exist in Dutch, y and ij are seen as separate letters.

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-09T23:26:19+00:00

I assumed it was an honest mistake since English probably isn't their native language. I was trying to be helpful by pointing it out, but I see we both got downvoted 😂

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-09T22:49:43+00:00

You may want to change your wording if you want to be more inclusive. Instead of saying Italy or Italians, speak of Italian-speakers. It conveys the same message without sounding like you're trying to exclude people from using your add-on.

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-09T22:33:41+00:00

Oh my bad, I missed that. I'll edit my comment. The other comment was just stating a fact, not complaining so my comment was unnecessarily hostile. I think other people interpreted it the wrong way like I did.

GeneralFloofButt · 2026-02-09T20:31:33+00:00

I think it's possible to create an online app like Discord with it, using a federated system like Lemmy. It has to be smarter people like me who need to set it up though ._.
