This is very interesting: preliminary estimates of the costs of the 2026 heat waves in #Belgium are at or above 1% of GDP. One estimate says it will offset the entire predicted economic growth for 2026.

So, the powers that be refuse to take #climateAction because it would jeopardize "growth". Then #climateChange eats up the growth anyway.

It would be funny, except excess deaths in Belgium this summer stand at three. Thousand. People.

Well done, growth death cult.

If you're looking for a laundry service in Brussels, do not go with WOSH: These guys trashed my shirt. I gave them a brand new tailored button-up shirt for delicate washing and received it back with dark stains on the collar. Received a credit and gave them a second chance, but the same shirt came back with a damaged collar. After two rounds at WOSH -- never washed anywhere else -- this shirt is now ready for the trash. When I asked for compensation, they claimed it was a manufacturing defect.

Who would have thought that #surveillance cameras in public spaces would be abused by men, eh sorry I meant creeps.

In other news, Belgian #police has since recently gained warrantless real-time access to 21,000 surveillance cameras in trains, subways, trams, busses, and stations. What could possibly go wrong. 😓

#Introduction

I’m a guy (he/him) in his thirties from #Ghent #Belgium
I studied #philosophy and have broad interests, mainly #history and #politics but also things like #technology #art #books #gaming #photography #scifi #solarpunk and so on.

After my studies I drifted towards #Marxism and these last few years I’ve become very concerned about #ClimateChange This made me committed to #EcoSocialism

I’m a member of the local communist party #PVDA #PTB and activist with @xrgent #ExtinctionRebellion

I usually post in #English but occasionally in #Dutch

Feel free to follow and interact with me!

I have updated the🇧🇪 #Belgium 🚂 Railway Diagram trilogy for 2026. These three diagrams are based on a 30° structure in order to fit the numerous radial lines to #Brussels. They attempt to untangle the many hourly services around Brussels. However, by 2026, some of the S trains had been somewhat systematised.There are weekday and weekend versions. In addition, a third diagram shows all single P trains of #SNCB #NMBS.
👉 https://larstransportmaps.com/rail-services-in-belgium-2026/

There are protests everywhere, including here in #Belgium. On Sunday (11 May), tens of thousands of Belgians took to the streets in #Brussels to demand an end to the blockade and the war on #Gaza.

A week later, on 18 May, a hundred thousand #Dutch people held a march through The Hague with the same demands.

Geert Wilders wrote on X: "Today demo in Dhaag against Israel + for Hamas. Thousands of confused people draw a red line. I also draw a red line. Against terror and starving their own people by Hamas and for maximum destruction of their murderous infrastructure. And for Israel."
So the rest of the world sees this differently.

...For about a week now, we have been reading increasing criticism of Israeli and US policy in #US newspapers. #France, the #UK and #Canada are suddenly threatening concrete action if Israel continues the blockade and war. Belgian rectors took the lead with the joint demand to suspend the #European Association Agreement with Israel.

Many will feel that all this does not go far enough. Indeed, that resolution can be criticised.

The decision by the European Foreign Affairs Council to first "investigate" whether or not Israel is in compliance with human rights before it wants to review the association agreement is also more than cynical.

#introduction

I live in Maasmechelen (north of #belgium aka #flanders between Genk & Maastricht (NL) with my wife & daughter. I have a daytime job Product Owner in #brussels (government agency) and a nighttime job/ hobby as a #wpo #wordpress plugin developer (#autoptimize). #music lover (jazz, left-of-center pop/ rock), love to ride my #bicycle (folding bike + race bike), I like to read (mostly fiction). play #wordfeud (NL) and learn Spanish (Duolingo)

Hello!

After a few days figuring out Mastodon with the help of the folks at QOTO, I will formally introduce myself in order to pin this in my profile :)

My name is Abde and I am a computer scientist. My main domain is #NumericalCalculus and #ParallelComputing. I am currently a PhD student at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (#belgium) and working on porting numerical solvers for simulations on the GPU using #CUDA. You may find my first paper here: https://etna.math.kent.edu/vol.55.2022/pp687-705.dir/pp687-705.pdf

Other research interests are #complexity #computability #graphtheory #geometry #discretemath

I also work as a #VirtualReality developer. My current professional interests are #simulations #numericalcalculus #geometry. We also contribute in several #opensource projects. Most of my work is done in #Unity3D, so feel free to ask any questions!

As a hobby I do some #gamedev and also #musicproduction. I will share some snippets of what I do here, but for now I am focusing in crafting my art by producing #housemusic in #bitwig.

Please enjoy! I am not the most active but I am looking to build my Mastodon network, so feel free to follow and I will follow back :)

#introduction #mastodon #newcomer #developer #music #programming

#newhere (well day 5) and time for an #introduction that goes beyond my bio 😇

I live near #Bruges in #Belgium, and simply by being born here am a fortunate (oldest) son of three.

I like words, #poems and #books. #Dogs #cats and all creatures great and small.

I'm sensitive and #neurodivergent (talent for #melancholy)

Since it's #followfriday I'm happy to follow you back!

I should follow my own advice and write a new #Introduction:

Hello! I'm a philosopher and historian of evolutionary biology. I also work in the digital humanities, as well as some in ethics, especially ethics of biotechnology. I'm a 🇧🇪-🇺🇸 dual citizen; I've taught for a while now at the Université catholique de Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve (donc parfois des posts en FR médiocre aussi).
