Hoi allemaal!

Inmiddels bestaat deze community al een paar weken. In het begin had ik tijd om veel te posten echter ben ik door de Admins van lemmy.world gevraagd of ik kon helpen modereren van c/Games en c/World. Zoals je je kan voorstellen, vooral c/World is nogal een beste klus. Het is een community over nieuwsgebeurtenissen over de hele wereld. En daar komen veel (ongepaste) meningen bij kijken.

Ik heb daar dus redelijk mijn handen vol aan.

Nu heb ik op dit moment niet zoveel tijd om nieuwsberichten (in het Nederlands) op te zoeken en de community van content te voorzien. Nu vroeg ik me af of een van mijn medelanders mij hiermee wil helpen.

c/TheNetherlands is de op-een-na-grootste community met Nederlanders op Lemmy. En voor een paar weken terug ook verreweg degene die het meest actief is. Graag zou ik dit met jullie hulp weer een actieve community willen maken.

Jullie kunnen me een DM sturen mocht je geïnteresseerd zijn!

A Syrian refugee who fled to the Netherlands has reportedly confessed to murdering his 18-year-old daughter and dumping her body in a canal before fleeing the country in an apparent admission note sent to a Dutch newspaper.

Father-of-nine Khaled al-Najjar, 52, wrote in an email sent to De Telegraaf that he had killed his 18-year-old daughter Ryan al-Najjar, urging the publication to report 'I am the one who killed'.

The confession did not specify exactly why he had decided to murder his daughter, with al-Najjar writing only that he was 'very angry with her', adding: 'The reason is between me and the judge. I will read that in court'.

But neighbours and friends suspect Ryan's death came as the result of an honour killing, with one claiming they had previously sheltered her when she had fled the family home in fear of retribution from her father.

Requesting anonymity to prevent any backlash, they told De Telegraaf that Ryan had a Dutch boyfriend, wanted to stop wearing a headscarf and had been beaten by her father who disagreed with her adoption of a Western lifestyle.

I'm an American and I'm thinking about moving to the Netherlands sometime in the future especially if a "certain presidential candidate" gets elected. Now, I've never been to the Netherlands or anywhere in Europe for that matter. Everything I "know" about the country comes from Youtube videos/channels that brag about how great it is. One of the things that gets that touted the most is the cycling infrastructure and walkability. As someone trying to move away from car dependency this seems to be a no-brainer. Amsterdam seems like the obvious choice but I've been told that Utrecht has a better cycling infrastructure. What do you think?

I'm a German living in Nijmegen since 2020. Since moving here I regularly see groups of school children with their teachers collecting trash all through the city. Sometimes I even see individual adults doing this. They'll typically wear high visibility vests and have proper equipment (grabbers and pokers) for the job. But they are obviously not working directly for the local garbage disposal service. - so what's going on here? I really like the idea of regular people keeping the city clean. I think it's a great value to instill in school children too!

But how exactly does that work? Is this a regular thing in the Netherlands? Do people just go out and collect trash? Do they get the equipment from the local garbage disposal? Is it volunteer work, or payed mini jobs? I'm really curious!

EDIT: I found out that this is the so-called Wijkhelden program of our local garbage disposal service.

Meningen? Gevoelens?

Ik zelf ben wel nogal Rutte-moe inmiddels. Ik hoop op wat vernieuwing.

Sinds een tijdje heeft Johma vegan broodsalades. In het begin hadden ze steeds die versies: kip kerrie, kip samba en tonijn. Nu hebben ze bij mijn jumbo die laatste niet meer, en als ik bij andere supermarkten kijk, zie ik ze daar ook niet. Weet iemand of ze die nog ergens verkopen? Het was mijn favoriete van die drie smaken.
