Voor velen is het de eerste keer dat ze demonstreren – de Gaza-demonstratie in Den Haag was massaal
Demonstratie: Meer dan 100.000 mensen liepen volgens de organisatie in een ‘rode lijn’ naar het Vredespaleis in Den Haag, als protest tegen het Israël-standpunt van het kabinet. „Ik zit erover in dat er niks gebeurt, ook al zeggen we ‘nooit meer’.”Christiaan Pelgrim (NRC)

Some hard truths for open source adoption from @bert_hubert
"Whatever you’re building, you have NO margin to get away with being uglier/harder/more difficult than big tech"
and "If you don’t have people who deeply care about user-experience in your team, you’re doomed"
Open source has so many adoption barriers that only people who care a LOT will get over them. But honestly, most people don't have enough care to spare right now.
Worth a read.

Gemini is getting colorful on Nest speakers.
Some Reddit users are reporting seeing a blue-and-purple gradient, rather than the usual white LEDs, on their Nest Audio speakers, 9to5Google reports. My colleague Jennifer Pattison Tuohy is seeing the same.
It’s the color scheme for Gemini, Google’s AI assistant that it’s slowly replacing Google Assistant with. The company started testing Gemini on its Nest smart speakers in December. You need be enrolled in the Google Home Public Preview and opt into experimental AI features to try it out.

This beautiful guy and his mate are nesting in my backyard. I hope to get a good photo of them together at some point. The female will not go into the bird house while I am out in the yard. So when I see her perch near her house, I go inside and watch from the kitchen window and then she flies right in. So fun to watch.
