Anyone have any tips for finding work in the Netherlands? I'm a UK citizen without the high qualifications for the job seekers visa. So I think the work needs to be for a UK company, or a startup. Ideally I want to work in publishing, but I'm willing to consider any job that gets me a residence permit.
I have experience in database administration and high street retail management, a multidisciplinary degree focused on communication and creativity and broad IT skills including various programming and typesetting languages. I wrote, designed and published a book about
card games.
I'm just beginning to learn Dutch but I lived in Germany for a while and was able to socialise in German, so I am confident in my ability to learn. But I will need to work in English for now.
Also, my girlfriend is looking for work. She does have the job seeker visa, having graduated with a Masters in Risk and Finance from a top 100 university last year. She would prefer a financial job, but would consider something basic for now.

The Netherlands is planning to deliver its first F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine at some point in 2024, the country’s defense minister, Kajsa Ollongren, said Tuesday.

Before the jets can be delivered, pilots, crew and technicians all have to be trained to fly and fight in the jets, Ollengren said. She did not give an exact answer on how long the training would last but estimated it would be between six and eight months.

It was difficult to name a more specific time frame. According to Ollongren, everything will depend on how long it will take to train Ukrainian pilots. In the Netherlands themselves, they expect that the preparation will take 6-8 months.

Training will happen in #Romania.

The Dutch government on Friday announced that it would stop production from the Groningen gas field at the end of the month.

Gas extraction from the field had been ongoing for 60 years. It is the largest natural gas field in Europe and had at one point accounted for 90% of the gas supplied to Dutch houses.

The Dutch government had previously announced plans to close the field by 2030 due to the risk of low-magnitude earthquakes.

Amnesty International sounds the alarm about Dutch crackdown on peaceful, non-violent protest involving civil disobedience.

During the ongoing #ExtinctionRebellion #A12 marathon demo in The Hague, officials and police have:

* Used disproportional force, violence against protesters
* Humiliated disabled protesters
* Misrepresented the legal right to protest
* Misused child safety agency resources
* Confiscated megaphones, musical instruments of supporters, violating their right to free expression

What are #transgender and #nonbinary folks' experiences in #Rotterdam and the #Netherlands southwest coast?

I'm considering going to Rotterdam for a vacation, but I wasn't sure how friendly folks are towards trans and non-binary people.

I was also thinking of visiting some towns near the coastal dams, like #Scharendijke and #Stavenisse and #Zierikzee. I photograph nudibranch, and there seem to be a lot in those areas according to iNaturalist.

I know the general advice is that the southern part of the country is not trans-friendly. However, I didn't know if that applied to southwestern towns near the coast.

For context, I'm a short AFAB person with a beard who wears colorful masculine cut clothes. People tend to assume I'm either a trans man or a cis gay man, so I'm interested in how that might cause people to treat me.

Great example of how governments effectively subsidise emissions through regressive (energy) taxation.

“In 2020, the 170 companies that accounted for 74 percent gas consumption paid only 11 percent of the energy tax.

Small and medium-sized enterprises, which consumed only 10 percent of all Dutch gas, paid 66 percent of the energy tax.”

The early 90s marked the end of a decades-long era of state-owned regional #transit agencies in the #Netherlands. This system was pretty inefficient overall, but some top-down efforts were made to gain at least some economies of scale. One of them was a standardized regional #bus "standaardstreekbus", seen in this #photo I took in 1990. There were many variations on the design and they were built by a number of companies. This one was built by Den Oudsten, probably in the early 1980s.
