Great question, I’m curious too

Austrias housing (including subsidized housing) is gorgeous

Something something didn’t we all get together already and agree that climate change would cause wars and migration and that we wanted to do it in such a way where everyone involved was treated with dignity and have somewhere to turn?

Sounds like Italy only wants to do fascism on equal terms

Under Italy’s Constitution, the country can only join international organisations on equal terms with other states – a condition that Rome says is not met by the board’s current statute which gives Mr Trump extensive executive powers.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is close to Mr Trump, said in January she had asked him to amend the terms of the Board of Peace to enable Italy to join.

Yeah ever since it started hosting serious topics I’ve had the impression microblogging encourages ‘gotcha’ behavior and discourages meaningful discussion.

Less so when it first launched and was mostly used to follow what your favorite band was up to or watch your friend live tweet a south park episode.

Latest one in 2023, promise I’m not giving advice from the 80s:)

Again, not sure it’s active where you are but there’s also a job list on idealist.org which lists a lot of canvasing or union type jobs but also some regular ones.

We’re trying to trap carbon underground to keep earth habitable and stable for humans. Coal is trapped carbon. We should keep it trapped instead of exposing it to our atmosphere.

For sure, Nazis (or their speech patterns anyway) do seem to be specifically against the policy as well though

In this case it seems quite reasonable for their stance to stem from the censorship of posts about palestine on popular social media platforms. Agreed we shouldn’t settle for any more privately owned social media regardless though.

I wonder if anyone in the upper echelons of Bending Spoon has large investments in google. Probably would be hard for google to purchase and squash vimeo due to monopoly laws, but asking a friend to purchase and squash it l? Perfectly acceptable

Just a lil crooked when he sits

I’ve had 3 full time desk jobs and found 2 of them on craigslist. Not sure where you’re located but perhaps you have something like craigslist? Lots of spam jobs to sift through but unlike job aggregator sites I usually actually got a reply back and felt like my application was going somewhere other than the void.

It’s hard for the top 1% to feel good about themselves on account of their clear status as society’s leaches (except they’re not vital parts of the ecosystem like real leeches are).

In order to get around these Hard Feelings they have to step into a fantasy narrative where they aren’t necessarily bad, certainly not harmful, maybe it’s the rest of the world that’s bad come to think of it, maybe they really did earn this, finders keepers right? Who says there is any objective reality to right and wrong? It’s all optics right? Why should the golden rule apply to everyone?!

If I’m reading between the lines correctly the cuts have nothing to do with AI and it’s not clear Amazon said that they did, they cited closing some Fresh and Go stores, discontinuing some products (some biometric hand scanner), cutting back on what they described as overhiring during covid, generally reducing bureaucracy.

The journalist, however, throws in an AI connection seemingly unrelatedly at the end and talks about how amazon is improving their robot technology. Wonder if someone is being paid to try to make things about AI even when they’re not.

How to activate?

Someone from the electrical company who was fixing my heater informed me that it’s pronounced Sass quaa and not Sass quatch. He and his friends went on Sasquatch hunts and he gave me some good hiking recs. I haven’t been able to find his pronunciation elsewhere so I thought someone else might want to carry this important information with them.

All those people who didn’t vote for him to get the nobel prize could have prevented this by simply voting rationally instead of voting their conscious!

I don’t understand that practice, is it a consolation prize for having to fire people? A reward for not getting laid off?

They’re kind of a live mixing engineer, it’s really hard to coordinate a piece between more than about 6 others without a conductor to give feedback, cues, and tend to the overall sound (tone, dynamics, rhythm).

Only a minuscule amount of critical thinking is required to reject the hypothesis that cumulative betting odds on news items are predictive of real outcomes. He mentioned sports betting as a similar case, do sports betters think increased betting odds (say on a specific horse to win) increase the likelihood that that horse wins? I kind of feel like they understand what the numbers represent but I’m not super steeped in gambling culture so I’m genuinely curious.

News outlets framing betting odds as useful stats for predicting events is worrisome though. Readers expect journalists to provide only relevant information so mixing in stuff you’re paid to include breaks the expectation between writer and reader since the expected intention of the article (information on a topic) is different than the actual one (fulfilling an advertising obligation to a gambling company).
