From a while ago, but a good day to share this:
Although for some scenarios, having two roles “all access” and “no access” is quite sufficient.

Test telefoonnummer en -adres voor wanneer marketing je gegeven wil
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/04/01
Het is erg vermoeiend als de drogist, nagelstylist, of supermarkt het prive-hemd van je lijf vraagt. Meestal lekken die gegevens, dus het is handig om daar een persona voor te hebben met gegevens die weinig kwaad kunnen.
Voorbeeld:
- Telefoon: Nul zes, twalf, vier-en-dertig, zes-en-vijftig, acht-en-zeventig.
- Bezoekadres:
Bezuidenhoutseweg 30
2594 AV DEN HAAG - Postadres:
Postbus 93374
2509 AJ DEN HAAG
Ja, 0612345678 is inderdaad een KPN test nummer.
En bij de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens zijn ze meteen aan het goede adres om een melding lekkage persoonsgegevens te melde.
En als je echt random-persona’s wilt samenstellen met BSN, bank, foto, noem maar op, probeer het dan eens met deze sites:

Wow, the Windows 3.x winfile.exe File Manager still lives on!
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/04/01
By sheer luck, Jen Gentleman pointed out that winfile.exe still lives on:
- [Archive.is] Jen Gentleman 🌺 on Twitter: “All set up to share my desktop in meetings today 😁… “
- [Archive.is] Jen Gentleman 🌺 on Twitter: “Yes – you can install the old Windows 3 File Manager on Windows 10. You’re welcome :P https://t.co/dubn5ABNaJ”
The source is at [Wayback/Archive.is] microsoft/winfile: Original Windows File Manager (winfile) with enhancements, and it looks exactly like the Windows 3.x through Windows NT 4.0 days.

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/04/01
Every site should present this as a captcha today.
Via [WayBack] Mumen Rusto on Twitter: “Ceci n’est pas une Captcha.… “
The captcha is by [WayBack] Senior Oops Engineer on Twitter: “Captcha: select all squares that contain a pipe Magritte: 😓”.
He posted it about 2 years ago as [WayBack] Senior Oops Engineer on Twitter: “oh fuck oh no… “.

Official Gmail Blog: Introducing Gmail Mic Drop – April 1st retracted because of too much of a success
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/04/01
The Mic Drop button worked so well (besides confusing the heck out of many people, it sometimes even got activated while sending a normal email) that GMail has retracted their April 1st joke.
What a prank (:

Many people missed the 8-bit street view at Google Maps Quest on April 1st #1april #april1st
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/04/01
Many people mentioned the April 1st prank by Google: 8-bit maps, and a NES Google Maps cartridge (quote at 0:55: blow on the cartridge to fix bugs ROFL!)
Today Google Maps has a quest mode, rendering the maps in Nintendo NES “quality”.
Few people really used it, and missed the glorious 8-bit streetview, and the really nice landmarks that you see when you zoom in to a scale of 500 meter or better.
You can even link to the 8-bit maps and to the 8-bit street view!.
Click on the images for larger versions (:
