  {% blocktrans %}I'm crazy about trains. My grandfather is a retired train

  I see trains as thé solution for transportation of both passengers (day) and
  cargo (night). They're fast, convenient, large, all that while being
  ecologically only second to bicycles for transportation, and the all-out #1
  choice for public transport (provided it's reasonably used). In Europe, I hope
  that air travel will be replaced by HST travel, which would allow a lot of
  people to travel the continent easily, affordable, and ecological. Trains are amazing!<br />

	<li>The top speed is relatively low (120km/h), but it makes up for that with
	a relatively high power-to-mass ratio. Combined with its low capacity, this
	  makes it an ideal train for frequent stop services.</li>
	<li>It doesn't waste an extra set of doors in the middle of the train, like
	  the MS96 does</li>
	<li>There's enough space for luggage storage, the seats all have smileys,

  {% blocktrans %}I'm an omnivore, and eat everything that I like to eat. I like

  hamburgers, pizzas, ...<br />
  Spaghettis are extremely satisfying for me to eat, because practically
  everyone knows how to make it, but almost every time I try someone's version,
  it's a different taste. I love how many varieties of all the pastas exist!<br />
  I enjoy Belgian fries a lot, but I am picky about them. I consider my portion
  "great" if fresh potatoes are used, they're medium sized, and well baked,
  topped off with a generous amount of (real) mayonnaise. Eating them with a

  conditions are met, I'll probably take a vegetarian dish, but not because I
  want to <em>be</em> a vegetarian. I believe this
  helps to reduce my carbon footprint. I started doing this when I went to Ghent
  University, where there's often a tasty vegetarian dish available.{% endblocktrans %}</p>

  centuries, sometimes even in a way that proved beneficial to both the animals and humans
  (for example: chickens, sheep, and goats provide eggs, wool, and milk, while we provided them
  adequate protection from predators). I've had chicken coops for my entire life
  and I think that eating eggs does not amount to animal cruelty, contrary
  to veganistic beliefs.<br />
  While I know that animals are abused in big farms, a system called "laws" can
  effectively stop those practices, way better than veganism. It's also a very
  radical lifestyle for most people to attempt.<br />
  That's not to say that veganism is bad; delicious meals are easily made in a

  cannabis is sometimes used for medical purposes (which I would do as well
  should I need it, since that's not recreational), so I don't oppose to others
  using them, nor do I refrain from buying them if I know they will be consumed

    I also hold opinions on many issues, which I believe to be rational (but
    who doesn't, right?), but I don't feel attached to a political orientation, nor do I
    change my viewpoint to better align with one. I will say that <em>in
    general</em> I tend to lean towards ideas that ecological parties and pirate
    parties often espouse. But again, my opinions might differ
    drastically. Do ask me if you would like to know more, I'm all for
    explaining.{% endblocktrans %}
</p>
<p>
    {% blocktrans %}I especially
    dislike the "left-wing/right-wing" division that's currently gaining ground, because it
    portrays politics as if it were just a one-dimensional spectrum on which
    every viewpoint can be allocated in an arbitrary order. This is influenced
    by the ridiculous
    American political system that only knows two big parties, and causes people
    to cease critical thinking in favour of party alliance, to the point that a
    "democratic election" is reduced to a poisonous contest where you must
    win, rational debate be damned. Please do not refer 
    to people as "being left-wing" or "being right-wing"; many people are more
    complicated than that.{% endblocktrans %}
</p>
<p>
    {% blocktrans %}Despite my interest in politics, I try not to bring this up
    into daily communication with friends. The reason is threefold:
    <ul>
        <li>In addition to my poor social skills, I am also a very bad speaker;
            without ample time to prepare, I have a 
            very hard time voicing my opinion in a convincing manner, even on
            issues that I (think I) understand very well. I would like to inform
            people, but if I can't talk in a convincing way, I might do more
            harm than good, so I try to avoid "live debating".</li>
        <li>Politics can be a sensitive topic. While I'd love to talk about
            sensitive issues with my friends, I don't know if the reverse is
            true, and I do not want to look annoying to be friends with.
            Therefore I try to refrain from bringing up political 
            discussions myself. However, if one of my friends were to bring it
            up, I will gladly partake, because I take that as a sign that there
            is some mutual interest.</li>
        <li>I have a website on which I can talk at length and in detail about
            these things. This also offers an easy "getaway" for friends, but
            also other people; they can decide for themselves whether they want
            to know about my opinions, without awkward social interactions. It
            also allows me to directly link to source material, correct
            mistakes, and it's an easy reference point for myself.</li>

<p id="adblocker">
    {% blocktrans %}I normally would not use an adblocker to browse the web. As much as I
    resent the use of advertisements, I understand that keeping a website up
    costs money, and advertising is an easy way to fund that, a practice of which traces
    can be found back until the Roman empire. Because their existence is not
    harmful to society either, I see no valid ethical objection to an
    advertisement on a website, and I don't want to block them. (I also don't oppose the
    use of adblockers by others: I think people have a right to decide whether they
    want to see ads or not.)<br />
    However, I do use
    <a class="{{ mdac }}-text text-accent-4" href="https://noscript.net" target="_blank">NoScript</a>,
    which is a <em>script blocker</em>. It helps me stay anonymous on the
    which is a <em>script blocker</em>. It helps me stay anonymous on the
    internet by blocking (mostly client side) scripts that may reveal my identity.
    Unfortunately, a lot of websites have started using tracking scripts to
    trace what I see, what I do, what I surf to on the internet, and use that
    for advertising, and profiling and identifying me, which is ethically wrong.
    Because I oppose this practice, I block these scripts,
    Because I oppose this practice, I block these scripts,
    and that often means that I don't see advertisements
    either.<br />
    There's a small annoyance to this (but I don't mind that): Some websites require some scripts to
    operate at all; therefore I have to manually pick for these websites what
    scripts to allow and which to block. The fact that these websites are
    erroneously built (i.e. they can't work without client code scripts)
    is annoying, but I don't really care that much: For some websites, that's worth it.
    For others, I don't bother and I don't read what's on them.<br />
    However, as a practical advantage, blocking so many scripts means my browsing
    is much better (which partly offsets the speed deficit caused by using Tor):
    A lot of websites load within a second for me, whereas with
    unblocked tracking, it takes easily 5-10 seconds before some webpages are
    fully loaded in. Additionally, the page gets sprinkled with ugly bars,
    elements pop in randomly and shift the page layout in grotesque ways,
    (a)social media buttons left and right, and often a popup regarding their
    use of cookies, which blocks what I want to do in the first place. What a
    terrible state of affairs!<br />
    If you think the increase in speed, security, and safety while browsing is
    totally worth clicking "Allow this script" every once in a while, then I
    urge you to install NoScript as well, and activate "Block scripts globally".
    It will make your browsing a lot better in almost every way.{% endblocktrans %}

<p>{% blocktrans %}You see, the world gets better all the time. Mostly, this is
    thanks to people who believe in something, and actively strive to better the
    world. They come in all sizes and types, but they're collectively named "activists".
    Now, I know that most people reading this don't think about themselves as
    being an activist; most likely you're studying, or working a career, taking
    care of friends and/or family. You don't have time for activism. At best,
    you might donate to a cause you believe in, or buy a sticker. Maybe even
    just because it's a small tax writeoff.{% endblocktrans %}

<p>
    {% blocktrans %}And you know what? <strong>That's perfectly fine.</strong>
        This page is not to tell you about how you're not doing <em>enough</em>
        or why it would matter more than what you're currently doing. There are
        enough other people that profess that already, and I personally don't
        think it helps activism a lot. Besides, lots of people already do things
        because they assume it helps. Look at recycling, blood donations, organ
        transplants (especially altruistic donations), child adoption, and so on.
        I know it's not often regarded as activism, but I do want to look at it
        in different ways than the stereotypical spreading of pamphlets and
        asking for signatures on market squares.{% endblocktrans %}
</p>
<p>
    {% blocktrans %}That's why I made this page for activism: I think a lot of
        people really want to make a change, but don't see it as viable for their
        life. Or they're not sure what to do. Here, I present a list of causes
        and activities I believe can make the world a better place for everyone.
        It's also important to remember that nobody can do everything, plenty of
        valid reasons why that's the case. Maybe you think that organic farming
        is better for the environment, but you still buy non-organic food because
        you can't afford the higher price. But that doesn't mean that partaking
        in activism is hypocritical by default (which is a reasoning that somebody actually
        used in a debate about activism with me). On this page, you find causes
        I believe in, that you can donate to, or small things you can do in your
        daily life that help that. You won't find the general calls to action here
        like "You should vote" and "Recycle as much as possible",
        I assume most people already see those often enough. I target more specific and
        fewer mentioned points. For some things, I propose certain replacements
        to "ease" taking on an cause without disrupting your life radically.
        (Like vegetarianism; it's a good thing, really, but replacing ⅓ of most
        people's daily diets is too radical for most people to do anyway.)
        I hope it allows you to partake more in activism.{% endblocktrans %}

    {% blocktrans %}I know this sounds pretty radical, but
        allow me to explain in detail. I'm sure you'll understand.<br />
        The scientific consensus is clear: Humans are the main cause of the
        climate mayhem, period. Collectively, we are ruining the planet's ecosphere.
        It's also clear that there's a direct correlation between the earth's
        temperature, and the amount of humans that are on it:
        <a class="{{ mdac }}-text text-accent-4"

		   href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Major_greenhouse_gas_trends.png"
		   target="_blank">these graphs</a>
        show the increase of greenhouse gases during that same timespan.{% endblocktrans %}
</p>
<p>
    {% blocktrans %}I'm not the first one to state that having no children is the
best thing you can do:
        <a class="{{ mdac }}-text text-accent-4"
		   href="http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa7541/pdf"
		   target="_blank">A study</a>
        calculated that living a <em>completely</em> car-free life reduces your carbon footprint by 2.4 tonnes of CO₂(-equivalent emissions) per year,
        while having just one <strong>(just one!) fewer child reduces it by 58.6 tonnes of CO₂. Per. Year.</strong>
        It goes without saying that having one fewer child is <em>way</em> easier than living without a car for the
        rest of your life.<br />
        You can see why it strikes me as very odd that lots of people are calling for
        small solutions like electrical cars, or a vegetarian diet, while
        at the same time omitting what might be the easiest and most effective
        solution to make a truly great impact on the world. Sure, the other things
        help, but not nearly as much as having no/fewer children.{% endblocktrans %}
<p>
    {% blocktrans %}From that (again: scientifically proven) point, the inference is thus:
        Every ecological problem caused by humans gets larger and more destructing
        with every new human. The easiest and best solution to this problem, is to do as
        I do, and have no children. By not creating more humans, you are saving the planet
        from probably 4-10 people in the following decades.{% endblocktrans %}
</p>
<p>
    {% blocktrans %}Having no children allowed me to study whatever I want,
        and might be the biggest contribution to planet Earth I'll ever make. At the same time,
        I've seen a member of my family give up a possible job as police inspector because she
        got pregnant. These are just personal anecdotes, but I doubt I'd have to look very
        far for other examples where somebody had to stash per dreams because of an oncoming child.
        (If they even get to see that child very much: My parents got divorced, which
        is not only bad for the children of said parents, but in my case, my father
        didn't get to see me very often when I was a minor.)

	Let's ignore the fact that saying seven billion people is "not too
	much" is (at least) remarkable. First, for a lot of people, a more
	"sustainable" lifestyle is simply too hard to accomplish. The more
	people there are, the less resources available for everyone. Lowering
	the population directly implies that everyone's lifestyle becomes
	automatically more sustainable, and requires practically no difficult
	intervention.<br />
	Also, this statement prepositions that there's enough resources for
	everyone. This is ignorant; if everyone lived in a decent way, we'd need
	at least 2.5 Earths just to keep up. Currently, the disgusting way
	people in third world countries have to live can't even offset a way of
	living humanely.<br />
	Finally, the climate mayhem has already started, and its consequences are
	already happening. Even assuming that 7 billion people is not too much,
	getting them all to live sustainable will take way longer than simply
	reducing the population, and we can't afford any delay.<br />
	Oh, and before I forget: Having no children and a sustainable lifestyle
	are not mutually exclusive. We can (and must) do both.{% endblocktrans %}

	First, simply making this statement implies that economical progress is an
    argument that's worth
	taking into consideration with the current direction we're heading, which is
	one where the economy will be the least of our problems.<br />
	Secondly, many economists say that a constant growth is economically
	necessary, and since the economy grows with more people, reducing the birth
	rate is bad. This argument dismisses discussion out of hand ("It goes
	against our current system, therefore this will be bad"). It also assumes
	that we should always work towards "economic growth", which could work if
	the planet would also grow infinitely. Since it doesn't, economic growth is
	finitely bound, and since
	<a class="{{ mdac }}-text text-accent-4"
	   href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Overshoot_Day" target="_blank">
		we're currenty using more of the Earth than it can possibly
		replenish</a>, we've exceeded that limit. Thus, our current economic
	situation is incompatible with the planet we all live on. One of the two
	must change, and we're stuck on Earth, so the economy must change.<br />
	While we're on the subject of economics:
	A reduction in the world population has also secondary economical benefits:
	It's easier for a government to pay for healthcare and education if there are fewer
	students/patients to pay for in the first place. These funds can then easily be divested
    to paying pensions for the elderly, or other problems that need funding.
    Also, jobs that have struggle with constant shortage of workforce (like school teachers)
    will see this problem gradually disappear.
    Of course, global heating already puts economies across the planet
in jeopardy because of all the problems it causes, that then need fixing. It
also causes so-called climate refugees, who also need to be granted asylum, and
all the costs that come with it.{% endblocktrans %}

    and spread information about (working) anticonception measures. An increase in

	{% blocktrans %}While I don't want humanity to disappear, I don't have to worry
	that my call to not have children will cause that; there is no way I'd ever become
	so influential that I would cause that to happen. Therefore, any change that
    I might cause is all to the good.<br />
    I also don't want governmentally issued laws that limit procreation; that is
    very unlikely to work anyway, and since lower income households have more
    children on average than higher income, the burden of such a law would fall
    on those people that have enough problems already. It would also fuel the idea
		that wanting a family should be a misdemeanour, which is ridiculous.
    (To continue on that: The government should focus especially on immigrants
    and lower income households, because these groups have statistically the
    largest families. Reducing the birthrate with them will have more effect
    than with other types of households.)
    Also, children that are born, deserve/need all the
    help to develop themselves, and laws need to be put in place that supports
    families, such as school and child subsidies, to name a few.{% endblocktrans %}

        Thousands of orphans are waiting for a family as you're reading this,
        and studies show that adoption does wonders for a child's development.
        By adoption (or fostering), you can build a family, without increasing
        the climate mayhem. It's a great way to devote yourself to a better world,

    <dt id="auteursrechten"><s>Auteursrechten</s> Kopieerrechten</s></dt>
    <dd>Dit is een letterlijke vertaling van het Engelse woord
    <em>copyright</em>, de verzamelnaam voor wetgeving inzake het kopiëren van
    creatieve werken. In het Nederlands worden dit foutief "auteursrechten"
    genoemd. Ik vraag aan iedereen om deze term te vermijden, en wel om deze
    redenen:
    <ul>
        <li>Deze rechten draaien om het recht om bepaalde dingen te kopiëren,
        in naam van het algemeen belang die creatieve werken vormen voor het
        uitbouwen van onze cultuur. Ze bestaan voor het goed van het volk, niet
        om een exclusief recht aan auteurs toe te kennen. De benaming moet
        dit reflecteren, en "kopieerrechten" doet dat perfect.</li>
        <li>Kopieerrechten "auteursrechten" noemen doet vermoeden dat elke keer
        dat iemand oproept tot het inperken van kopieerwetgeving, dat dit een
        directe aanval is op de rechten van auteurs, maar niets is minder
        waar: de huidige kopieerwetgeving in praktisch de hele wereld
        laat het exclusieve kopieerrecht
        duren tot minstens 50 jaar na de dood van de auteur. Wie heeft daar nu
        enig nut aan, behalve bedrijven die het gebruiken om creativiteit en
        delen van onze cultuur zo lang mogelijk financieel uit te melken? Hoe
        durft Nintendo bijvoorbeeld te claimen dat niemand een spelletje mag maken met Mario
        in, ook al is dit idee gekend door honderden miljoenen mensen? Dit heeft
        niets, maar dan ook absoluut <strong>niets</strong> te maken met de
        rechten van auteurs, maar met kopiëren, en het systematisch tegenwerken
        van creativiteit onder de bevolking.</li>
        <li>Het idee dat kopieerrechten altijd toekomen aan de auteurs (en dat
        daarom auteursrechten ook een redelijke benaming zou zijn) is ook fout:
        Veel programmeurs zijn in dienst van bedrijven waar zij software
        programmeren. De kopieerrechten van die software komen dan wel toe aan
        het bedrijf, maar niet aan de auteurs. En daar bedrijven geen
        natuurlijke personen zijn (en dus ook geen auteur kunnen zijn), is de
        enige juiste benaming "kopieerrechten" (die wel door een bepaald bedrijf
        in bezit kunnen zijn).</li>

    also makes it sound as if there's not really that much to it, who doesn't
    work with computers?
    The reason that it's so often called that, is because informatics is
    thorougly linked to computers, and computers are actually incredibly handy
    tools for our study. But they're not the sole focus (at least not at the
    universities I studied them), and they shouldn't be. Studying a science is
    all about learning the how, the why, the fundamentals, of your field, not just the
    tools you use, that's what college is for.<br />
    Calling informatics just "computer science" is akin to calling mathematics "number science";
    it is true that
    mathematics has undoubtedly close connections with digits and numbers, but
    calling the whole study by that name does not take into account all the
    other fields that mathematics encompasses, most of which don't even really
    need numbers at all to exist. We understand that and call it by its proper
    name, so as to avoid reducing it to a portion of it that's very visible in
    our daily lives. Please treat informatics with the same
    reasoning, and don't call it "computer science".{% endblocktrans %}</dd>

<h3 id="facebook">{% trans "Get/Stay off Facebook" %}</h3>
<p>
	{% blocktrans %}Facebook is an immense threat to our civil rights and
		liberties. I cannot possibly overstate how important it is that we
		collectively act to make this company rot away.<br />
		The useds of Facebook have their lives completely tracked and monitored,
		everything. It's a flagrant privacy violation.<br />

		Believe me, <strong>I KNOW</strong> that leaving Facebook is a hard pill
		to swallow. Facebook facilitates communcation with acquintances and
		friends, and humans are social creatures, we long for connection with
		other people. When you've been used by Facebook, it's hard to get its
		hooks off. We cannot refer to this as an addiction, because that would
		be like calling eating an addiction to food.

		Saying "I have nothing to hide" is not what this is about. It's
		erroneous to say privacy and secrecy are the same thing. I don't hide
		from my friends that I take a bath to clean myself but I'd never allow
		them to watch me do so. I love my parents but I don't allow them to come
		inside my place without my permission. I'm not ashamed to buy orange
		juice but I pay cash because I don't want to be recorded doing so (which
		happens when you use debit/credit cards).
		I'm sure you can imagine more examples like these.<br />
		Also, even if you were a person that doesn't care about privacy, there
		are people that do, and <strong>need</strong> privacy. Facebook makes it
		harder to call upon that right, because its mere existence changes the
		<em>status quo</em> from privacy being a human right, to privacy being
		something that requires justification: "Surely if thát many people are
		on Facebook, maybe privacy isn't that important to have as a right?"

		For people that I manage to convince to leave, but just need a final
		argument to take the definitive step: I ask you to not only do
		this for yourself, but for everyone else as well: Every person being
		used by Facebook increases the power it has, but the reverse is also
		true: Every person that decides to take off the shackles, makes it
		easier for others to do as well. By not being on Facebook, you help
		everyone else with not being there either.

<h3 id="human-rights">{% trans "Moral provision for civil actions" %}</h3>
<p>{% blocktrans %}
	I want to make a general call to activism that is less a matter
	me to guard your human rights more effectively, and to stand up against
	those that seek to violate it, be it by democratic voting, civil
	disobedience, or even violence to stop an immediate threat.
	I've thought about this a lot, in a philosophical way: About how to
	justify not following laws, why we do so, when it can be morally
	justified, accountability, ...
	
	I haven't studied jurisprudence, but I don't think that makes my reasoning
	automatically worthless. It might be that some things seem out of the
	ordinary. I do know I am not crazy, and I can assure you I didn't think of
	this on one louzy afternoon.
	Eventually, I have created a general rule I named: "The protection of human
	rights and the moral integrity of their limitations". In full detail,
	the rule is as follows:
		<quote>
			All humans are entitled to human rights at every point in their
			lives, in all contexts.
			Being rights, they do not require justification to exercise
			them, and can be applied in the broadest terms possible.
			Should there be an entity looking to restrict those rights, the
			burden of justification falls on that entity; it must provide a
			valid reasoning as to why a restriction needs to be put in
			place. The people that the restriction applies to (and <em>ónly</em>
			those people) shall decide on the validity, not the
			entity arguing in favour of it. Should said entity fail to provide
			valid justification, the restrictions that follow (for 
			example: laws or contract terms) are implicitely
			<em>void ab initio</em>, because their existence lacks any ground to
		    be morally enforceable. It follows that every violation of, and
			resistance against said
			restrictions is (by default) morally justified. The entity
			responsible for putting the restriction in place, <em>ánd</em> those
			that enforce these restrictions, remain guilty of a human rights
			violation and must be prosecuted as if the restriction didn't exist.
			Because of the moral void, it cannot escape prosecution by invoking
			<em>nulla poena sine lege</em> (i.e. "It wasn't prohibited to do
			so"). The burden of providing compensation for the damage inflicted
			by humans violating the restrictions falls on the imposing entity.
			Should the entity not be a natural person (for example: a company or
			authoritative body like a government), the people responsible of
			that entity are accountable. Whether others that served that entity
			(or were conscripted in doing so) handled in bad faith is to be
			decided on a per-case basis.
		</quote>
		The rule has vast implications that secure our integrity as humans, and
		the rights that come with being on this planet. It pardons Edward
		Snowden. It makes politicians that deny climate mayhem responsible for the
		damage. It opens a path to prosecute Apple for violating our digital
		rights. In general: <strong>It stops using legislature as an excuse for
		moral accountability.</strong>

		The lack of strictness is key; cultures and people change, and so do our
		morals. Building a coal plant during the industrial revolution was
		understandable, but today it conflicts with our right to live because we
		know coal plants accelerate the climate mayhem. Sabotaging the
		construction is now morally right, it wasn't in 1800. This is just an
		example, but there are many more.

		I don't seek for everyone to use my rule as a justification for total
		anarchy. I do want to provide a reasoning that allows us to
		My rule doesn't discredit the existence of a state with laws and justice
		system, rather, it works with it. It also strengthens their power where
		it should, and diminishes the extent to which power can be abused,
		because my rule functions as a deterrent to do so (for example: If
		there's a law allowing you to kill homosexuals on sight, and you try to
		do so, you can expect people trying to shoot you to defend that
		homosexual's right to live).

		I think humanity is ready for more democratic oversight and
		transparency, especially in the European Union.

		{% comment %}
		You might argue that you could infer a validation for absolute
		anarchy from this
		rule, but that's not right. What it does, is give the power to the
		democracy to decide whether doing
		something is right or wrong, holding others accountable for the powers
		they have, without being able to abuse legislature to escape moral
		accountability.

<h3 id="pay-cash">{% trans "Stay safe, and only pay cash" %}</h3>
<p>{% blocktrans %}
    I've written about this in a blog post, but I have to put it here as well,
    in detail:
    One form of activism is to refuse to pay with payment cards. Always insist
    on being able to pay with cash!</p>
<p> Banks love to talk about the convenience and safety of paying digitally,
    without really delving into what those points are for <em>us</em>, the
    client. I'll be going over some points to convince you to stop using the
    digital payments, and pay the actually safe way.{% endblocktrans %}</p>
<h4>{% trans "The safety myth debunked" %}</h4>
<p>{% blocktrans %}
    So what's about digital payments being "safe"? When probing further, you'll
    often get the same two answers:<p>
    <ul><li>You won't lose much money when you get pickpocketed.</li>
        <li>You don't risk accepting counterfeit money.</li>
    </ul>


    <p>The risk of EVER accepting a counterfeit note is so small it's almost
        ridiculous to even mention it. Consider all these security marks (for €
        bank notes) that
        would have to pass:</p>
    <ul><li>Optical changing ink when you tilt a bank note</li>
        <li>Paper created from cotton fiber, which has a distinct feeling</li>
        <li>Watermark on every note, clearly visible with some light</li>
        <li>Safety wire straight through the middle of the note</li>
        <li>Foil with hologram over each note</li>
        <li>Raised printing to give each note a relief</li>
        <li>The logo in the hologram is transparent</li></ul>
    <p>And those are just the safety features you can directly see! Consider
        these <strong>extra security features</strong> that you can also check
        with enough detail (or a checking device):</p>
    <ul><li>All notes have microprinting that becomes unreadable with any normal
            printer, but can easily be read by looking closely..</li>
        <li>Shining UV light on the note will make certain parts light up, like
            the stars and circles. This also happens on the back, where green
            and red light will be emitted.</li>
        <li>With infrared light, the emerald number, the right side of the main
            image, and the silvery stript become visible. But only on the front;
            on the back, only the denomination and the horizontal number are visible.</li>
        <li>With special UV-C light (yes, that's a thing), the same parts light
            up, but in distinct green and red colours. Also, the € sign becomes
            visible in the main image, but is hidden in normal UV light.</li>
        <li>The serial code on every note is a checksum, meaning that you can
            check the code itself to see if the note is valid or not.</li></ul>
    <p>And all those were just the security features of the bank notes
        themselves! Here are some extras to convince you of the safety of using
        euros as cash:</p>
        <ul><li>Reproducing a note with a normal printer is often blocked by 
            printer firmware.</li>
            <li>Any reproduced note (for example in movies) needs to obey strict
                rules, that they render each "legal" counterfeit note completely
                useless for monetization.</li>
            <li>The European Union has so much trust in the security of its
                currency that you
                can download images of euro bank notes directly from their own
                website<insert link!>. For high resolution ones, you can send a
                letter, and after some security and confidentiality checks you
                can get those as well.</li></ul>
    <p>But maybe you think that all this is just peanuts for real
        counterfeiters (it isn't), or you're just thát paranoid. Okay, let's
        assume your level of paranoia is justified. In that case, I have a
        really interesting argument that will surely convince you to switch to
        cash forever:{% endblocktrans %}</p>
    <h4>{% trans "Digital payments infringe on your privacy" %}</h4>
    <p>{% blocktrans %}Oh and that's not just me saying that, that's your credit
        card supplier actually doing just that: <Link naar mastercard dat met
                                                      facebook onderhandelt</lin>
        Yeah, turns out that "safety" is not so much a myth after all, but is
        related to the bank's safety by keeping your money from you, and making
        bank on it in the process.

    {% trans "<GOEDE NAAM VERZINNEN>" %}</dt>
    <dd>{% blocktrans %}Too often, the media (and the companies that are often
    associated with the term) use the term "sharing economy" or "gig economy" to
    describe this "new" type of providing a certain type of service, where the
    companies don't actually hire their "employees". They say they're
    "subcontractors", and make them use their own resources (like their car) to
    do the work. These companies malicously portray this as "sharing", and
    proclaim they're just the facilitators, thus making them part of the
    "sharing economy". This is spin.<br />
    First, "sharing" is something you do in a personal setting, without any
    commercial interests. People do this because it's in our nature to share
        resources between each other, it's a good thing to do. A well known
        example is carpooling, where different people share the same car.<br />

"Ik zal nooit een veganist worden en ik geloof stellig dat veganisme geen "
"vereiste is om dierenleed te voorkomen. Mensen hebben eeuwenlang met dieren "
"geleefd, en soms zelfs op manieren die voor mens én dier voordelig waren. "
"(Bijvoorbeeld: Kipppen, geiten en schapen geven ons eieren, melk en wol, "
"terwijl wij hen voorzien van bescherming tegen roofdieren.) "
"Ik heb ook altijd thuis een kippenhok gehad, en kan uit ervaring stellen "
"dat eieren eten niet hoeft te betekenen dat je systematische "
"dierenmishandeling in stand houdt, in tegenstelling tot veganistisch "
"gedachtengoed.<br /> Ik ben wel op de hoogte van dierenleed in (grote) "
"boerderijen, maar het inzetten van wetgeving is stukken effectiever dan "
"veganisme. Het is ook een enorm radicale levenswijze, die veel mensen "
"niet zien zitten.<br />"
"Ik zeg wel niet dat veganisme een slecht idee is; je kan even goed "
"smakelijke én veganistische gerechten maken, en vanaf dat je volwassen "
"bent kunt je levenslang zowel een gebalanceerd als veganistisch eetpatroon "
"aanhouden. Minderjarigen zouden echter geen veganistisch dieet moeten "

"Ik gebruik geen adblocker tijdens het browsen, ook al heb ik een hekel aan "

"binnen te halen voor een website, en dat laatste kost natuurlijk zelf ook "
"geld om draaiende te houden. Het idee van adverteren is zelfs zo oud als het "
"Romeinse rijk. Advertenties zijn ook niet inherent schadelijk voor de "
"gemeenschap, dus ik heb ook geen ethische bezwaren tegen reclame, en het "
"blokkeren ervan laat ik dan ook achterwege. (Tegelijkertijd heb ik geen "
"bezwaar tegen mensen die wél adblockers gebruiken; ik vind dat mensen het "
"recht hebben om te bepalen of ze advertenties willen zien of niet.)<br /> Ik "
"gebruik echter wel <a class=\"%(mdac)s-text text-accent-4\" href=\"https://"
"noscript.net\" target=\"_blank\">NoScript</a>, een zogenaamde <em>script "
"blocker</em>. Dit helpt mij om anoniem over het internet te surfen door "
"(veelal client-side)-scripts te blokkeren die mijn identiteit kunnen "
"onthullen. Spijtig genoeg gebruiken veel websites <em>tracking scripts</em> "
"om te traceren en te profileren wie ik ben, en wat ik allemaal bekijk op het "
"internet, een ethisch verwerpelijke praktijk. Die informatie wordt dan "
"gebruikt om mij gerichte advertenties te tonen. Uiteindelijk zorgt NoScript "
"ervoor dat ook deze advertenties geblokkeerd worden, maar dat is juist goed: "
"Het is een manier voor mij om te tonen dat ik tegen deze praktijken ben.<br /"
">Dit levert wel een klein nadeel op (maar daar zit ik niet mee in): Sommige "
"websites vereisen scripts om nog maar gewoon <em>op zich</em> te werken. "
"(Zonder scripts laten ze dus gewoon de webpagina zelf niet zien, en wordt de "
"website dus nutteloos.) Daardoor moet ik manueel instellen voor deze "
"websites welke scripts mogen worden toegelaten en welke geblokkeerd blijven. "
"Het feit dat deze websites zó slecht geschreven zijn dat ze niet kunnen "
"werken zonder scripting is vervelend, maar ik hou me daar niet zoveel mee "
"bezig. Voor sommige websites is het dat waard; voor anderen doe ik gewoon de "
"moeite van het deblokkeren niet, en dan lees ik gewoon niet wat erop staat."
"<br />Daar staat als voordeel wel tegenover dat het blokkeren van al die "
"scripts mijn surfen een stuk sneller maakt (wat ook grotendeels het "
"snelheidsverschil met Tor teniet doet). Veel websites laden voor mij slechts "
"enkele seconden, terwijl zonder het blokkeren het makkelijk minstens "
"<strong>vijf seconden</strong> kan duren vooraleer sommige websites volledig "
"ingeladen zijn.Daarbij komt dat die webpagina's nog eens bevuild worden met "
"lelijke elementen die mij irriteren, zoals (a)socialemediaknoppen, grote "
"banners, en regelmatig een dikke cookiemelding. Allemaal dingen die me "
"weerhouden van te doen wat ik in het begin wilde doen: Een webpagina lezen. "
"Wat een belachelijke toestanden toch!<br />Als jij ook denkt dat de extra "
"snelheid, veiligheid en privacy tijdens het surfen het waard is om af en toe "
"op \"Sta dit script toe\" te klikken, dan raad ik ten zeerste aan om "
"NoScript ook te installeren. Activeer dan ook zeker \"Enable restrictions "
"globally\". Het zal browsen op een hoop vlakken een stuk aangenamer maken."
