Jens van 't Wout grijpt zilver op 500 meter op WK shorttrack

MONTREAL (ANP) - Jens van 't Wout heeft bij de WK shorttrack in Montreal zilver gegrepen op de 500 meter. De 24-jarige Nederlander moest in de finale alleen olympisch kampioen Steven Dubois voor zich dulden. Furkan Akar uit Turkije greep het brons.

Van 't Wout leek eerder te worden uitgeschakeld in de halve finale van de 500 meter. Hij kwam in duel met Akar om de tweede plaats in de race ten val, omdat de schaatsen van beide shorttrackers tegen elkaar kwamen. De meervoudig olympisch kampioen werd toegevoegd aan de finale.

In de finale moest Van 't Wout starten vanaf de lastige vijfde positie. Hij passeerde Akar en daarna ook de Italiaan Thomas Nadalini en de Belg Stijn Desmet. Dubois bleef echter buiten bereik.

Eerder greep Xandra Velzeboer zilver op de 1000 meter.


Israël: gewelddadig antisemitisme in Nederland is onacceptabel

JERUZALEM (ANP) - De Israëlische president Isaac Herzog noemt het "volstrekt onacceptabel dat de historische Joodse gemeenschap in Nederland, die is verwoest door de Holocaust en vandaag een bloeiend centrum van Joods leven is, nog steeds te maken heeft met gewelddadig antisemitisme".

Hij roept de Nederlandse autoriteiten op meer te doen tegen antisemitisme, opruiing en geweld tegen de Joodse gemeenschap. Herzog reageert op de aanslagen op een synagoge in Rotterdam en een Joodse basisschool in Amsterdam.


Ajax begint met Konadu en Tomiyasu tegen Sparta Rotterdam

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Don-Angelo Konadu begint met Ajax aan de thuiswedstrijd tegen Sparta Rotterdam. De 19-jarige spits vervangt de geschorste Wout Weghorst. Kasper Dolberg heeft de afgelopen dagen niet getraind door maagproblemen. De Deen zit wel op de bank als de wedstrijd om 21.00 uur begint.

De nieuwe trainer Óscar García heeft Takehiro Tomiyasu een basisplaats gegeven. De Japanse verdediger verschijnt voor het eerst aan de aftrap voor Ajax.

Konadu vormt een aanval met Steven Berghuis en Mika Godts. Davy Klaassen, Sean Steur en Youri Regeer zijn de middenvelders van de thuisploeg.

Doelman Maarten Paes leidt een defensie met Lucas Rosa, Josip Sutalo, Youri Baas en Tomiyasu.

Should Keycaps Use Text or Glyphs for Delete, Return, Tab, Caps Lock, and Shift?

"The new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models feature a keyboard change," reports MacRumors:

On the U.S. English version of the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro keyboards, the tab, caps lock, shift, return, and delete keycaps now have glyphs on them. On previous-generation models, these keys are labeled with text instead... Given the U.S. English keyboard layout is the default option for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Neo models sold in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, this change effectively extends to those countries and a few others.

"Apple already uses glyph-based key labels on several European keyboard layouts," notes The Mac Observer, "including British English versions of the MacBook. Because of this, the design will feel familiar to many users outside the United States."

The change was noticed last week by Chicago-based X.com/YouTube user "Mr. Macintosh", who makes how-to videos about now and old Macs.

System76 CEO Sees 'Real Possibility' Colorado's Age-Verification Bill Excludes Open-Source

Last week System76 CEO Carl Richell criticized age-verification laws for operating systems — but he now sees a "real possibility" Colorado's law might exclude open-source.

Phoronix reports that the System76 CEO met with the state Senator who co-authored Colorado's bill, and then posted on X.com that the Senator "suggested excluding open source software from the bill."

Richell: This appears to be a real possibility. Amendments are expected... It's my hope we can move fast enough to influence excluding open source.. No illusions, it's an uphill battle, but we have an open door to advocate for the open source community.

Vague language has been a recurring problem with new state age-verification legislation. Richell pointed out later that "In one proposed bill, Garmin would have to verify the age of their watch customers at device setup." Richell also sees New York's bill as "unlikely to be applicable to Linux distributions," since its language calls for "commercially reasonable age assurance" that free operating systems could use — and Richell isn't sure one exists as described by the bill. "As written today, it's extremely broad and vague and that makes it scary."

Richell answered several follow-up questions about operating system age-verification laws. "What about California?" someone asked...

Richell: We hope to make sensible, strong arguments for excluding open source which then becomes a standard for other states. It's going to be difficult.

Q: Open source is not the only target to exclude. Please ensure that the bill is amended so that it does not require applications that have no possible use for the age bracket to ask about it.

Richell: We discussed this as well. I proposed that apps that do not require age to modify app behavior or access by some other legislation be barred from reading age brackets to better protect privacy.

Snowfall at the Thousand Torii.

T.Marko has added a photo to the pool:

Snowfall at the Thousand Torii.

A quiet winter moment beneath the endless vermilion torii gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha. As light snow falls through the forest, the vibrant gates create a rhythmic corridor leading deeper into the sacred mountain. The contrast between the warm vermilion tones and the soft white snow transforms this famous path into a calm and almost timeless scene.

Max Dowman breaks record as Arsenal boost title push with late win against Everton

It was the moment to blow the roof off the Emirates Stadium, the exclamation mark on a victory that felt pivotal to the destination of the Premier League title. Everton had been excellent, an incredible test for Arsenal and their credentials. Mikel Arteta and his players passed it. They found a way.

The goal to tilt it their way, the decisive one with time almost up, was tapped in by the substitute, Viktor Gyökeres. It came when Jordan Pickford brushed the ball into another replacement, Piero Hincapié and, with luck on their side, it broke perfectly for Gyökeres in front of an empty net.

Expansive Europeans befuddle Premier League elite as set-piece shtick backfires | Jonathan Wilson

Humbled English clubs must realise that what works against the very good turns out to be inadequate against the best

If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. If the only tool you have is a set play, the solution to everything starts to look like a pre-programmed move based on blocking runs. And perhaps that’s especially true if you’re worn out, knackered by the attrition of a persistent schedule of two games a week against teams who are frustratingly well organised and physically imposing. Think? Dribble? Make a surprising run? Who has the bandwidth for that? Just sling it to the back post and get in the way of the keeper.

Arne Slot had spoken in the buildup to Liverpool’s defeat by Galatasaray on Tuesday of how difficult it is to create chances in modern football, and how set pieces are a way to circumvent the sophisticated defensive setups of most Premier League teams. He is certainly not alone in taking that approach in the Premier League. But the Champions League is not like the Premier League. The crowding of the six-yard box, the full bearhug grappling, the meat wall to block the goalkeeper … it turns out all of those are penalised by European referees, and that is a problem for Premier League teams.

Chelsea’s Champions League hopes hit as Gordon scores Newcastle winner

A half-century of Premier League London wins for Newcastle, a first win at Stamford Bridge since 2012, Anthony Gordon their match-winner against the club he was close to joining in 2022. He ran Chelsea ragged. In the stands, Todd Boehly, the co-owner who, when acting as de facto sporting director in the early days of ownership, targeted Gordon.

Four years on, there may be regret that deal never happened, though there are deeper doubts to consider, including the current team’s stall under Liam Rosenior. Newcastle supplied the know-how and organisation, Sven Botman outstanding in leading the defensive effort as Chelsea and their supporters’ belief in them sagged collectively. Full time was followed by fierce barracking of players and manager. A blame game is being played at Stamford Bridge. How much has been spent now? The answer is closing on £1.5bn in the Boehly years and Chelsea are falling short of their objectives.
