  • The second theme is cultural democracy and inclusion. The emphasis is on permanently removing persistent barriers to participation, so that culture becomes accessible to everyone.

    Katrien Partyka, an MP for Christian democracts CD&V, criticised the composition of the commission.

    “It does not represent the broad cultural field,” she said. “There is for example no representation from the broad socio-cultural field, the amateur arts or the academic world.” She is calling for a review of the body’s composition.

    Nothing screams “cultural democracy” louder than hand‑picking your audience to prove how inclusive you are.

















  • What’s the issue to switch to dumb phones? Tracking SIM cards? Cookie and other web tracking by big tech? The smart phone as a spying device? Can’t be SIM tracking, as dumb phones would have that issue too. I guess the latter is easily resolved by using GrapheneOS, and I imagine the second one by a having good privacy setup. Any other reasons?

    I’m just wondering, as I was imagining switching to a dumb phone. I wouldn’t be opposed, and I don’t think I’d miss much, mainly email and lemmy. However, I would love to no longer have an easy map at hand, and actually having to look for places, and asking for directions. As for a weather app… I could just ask for the weather forecast when I’m asking for directions ;)
