In #searx there's no possibility to get search results in more then one language at a time and that's a real showstopper to use it as my default search engine. Would like to have the most relevant links, doesn't matter if they're in Dutch, English or German.

Waiting for mastodon.google.com 🤔
Few weeks ago I deleted my Google+-account because of distrust in Google's treatment of my data and because of the confusing connections between Google+, Google photo's, drive, maps etc. Never knowing exactly what you share with whom. Turns out Google didn't know either...
2012-2014 I used #Google+ a lot. Was fun when I was in China because unlike Facebook it was not blocked and I had a lot of interaction with people in the cities I visited, posting pictures and observations and people reacting on it.

1. Self-driving cars are claimed to be ready for the roads right now
2. The most reliable way to prove you are human online is to select regions of an image that contain a stop sign.

Why are American media websites always cluttered with those extremely annoying self-playing video's 🤮

Didn't get the upper/lower half strategy of the non-wealthy elites, much of the media or sycophant intelligentsia, but can't stuff that much into a cartoon!

Die ersten 30km sind fast geschafft. Erst der Nidda Radweg dann der Limes Radweg und später dann der Vulkan Radweg. Mal sehen wie weit ich durchhalte, notfalls fährt mich das Stockheimer Lieschen zurück...

From next year on, water taps at 200 railway stations in the Netherlands. Very good, stop the waste of plastic, energy and money with all these plastic water bottles!

In 2011 and 2012 I toured through #China on my own. Because the historical villages Hongcun and Xidi were difficult to reach by public transport, I booked a day tour with a tour group. Me as the only westerner in a group of appr. 45 Chinese. Maybe since I speak some Chinese it was a very nice day.

Flying to Amsterdam to take part in a workshop co-organised by the Commons Network to help formulate a strategy to get the European Union to shift its focus from “Digital Single Market” to a goal that prioritises people/personhood/human rights and a healthy commons instead of corporations/business/the market.
