  10. The developers of Funda and Rabobank seem to suddenly block alternative mobile OS's, like @e_mydata and @GrapheneOS

    They're likely doing this through using the strictest device attestation settings in Google's Play Integrity API.

    Funda is the largest Dutch housing platform in the country (like Zillow), and Rabobank is the 2nd largest bank in the .

    This is why we need alternatives within the mobile ecosystem.

  17. First time leaving my house in days (because non-stop rain) for a work thing in The Hague. Lekker cycle through the rain to the station, pants are soaked, trains are cancelled once again, detour in a different train that's a full on sauna packed like sardines with my fellow peasants.

    I love my job, but I can't do another winter in this country 😭
