@gmr_leon@mstdn.social Uh, that sucks. Why do they even need GI for, money laundering?

Some of this is „how to spot AI slop” so most here will be familiar but there are also some more clever examples. Might be worth sharing with older friends and relatives. And Gen Z.

Currently, someone with, for example, Down syndrome who is unable to work and function normally must regularly prove that their condition has not changed in order to continue being classified as disabled.

Brzoska scores free points but this change affects only rare diseases which is a very precise criteria (one in couple of thousands). That’s an incredibly high threshold and it was implemented couple of days ago already. Have some debilitating autoimmune disease with no cure? Not rare - 0.5% population affected. Good luck, see you at disability board in 2 years. Welfare? Hahaha. Medicine refunded? Another good joke. Work till you kill yourself or get so bad you get rent that’s 1/3 of minimum wage. I also pay health insurance that’s multiple times of what I would pay if I pretended to be a business.

Gee, I wonder what other 100 ideas are about because media don’t go into any details as if they were staffed by elites kids. Fascism on the rise is because of misinformation obviously.

I only know SAP because my partner works in master data at an engineering firm but my personal mortal enemy is Pega Client Lifecycle Management. I’ve been through 3 different companies trying to replace some legacy software with it. 2 gave up, current one is in the process of failing. Consultants are probably making a killing though. Those things get away with being clunky because they’re so configurable but I’ve never seen people happy with that configuration.

It protects all copyright holders, big and small. Your war against publishers can’t harm artists, otherwise it looks like you’re mostly after pirating content you don’t want to pay for.

I would propose that submitted content needs to be at least tangentially related to Europe, otherwise this community slips into discussions about things that affect Europe but are not specific to it.

Copyright protects artists in a capitalist system. If you’re not getting rid of capitalism but take someone’s work then you are stealing.

I thought this „thank you” stuff was for their voters but it turns out they believe their own bs. That’s kind of worrying because it’s another proof that all of the adults have left the room and those remaining are way out of their depth.

I think it was created by the Germans for the Germans. It has all the features required, like scripting language with verbs at the end of sentences and plenty of dreadful bureaucracy.

I think there’s just very little competition in the space at scale SAP supports and companies are reassured by using something standard where they can hire lots of external consultants to make SAP even more dreadful.

US attacks Houthis who are a proxy for Iran which is retaliating against Israel which is a US proxy (or actual 51st state ;)). If US wasn’t supporting genocide in Gaza then the Red Sea passage would be safe. That evil gnome Vance can fuck off.

The way it is currently done is by dragging an anchor over the cables, often multiple times. Baltic Sea is being monitored for this kind of activity and suspects are being watched more closely and even escorted. Specialised equipment for cable cutting makes things harder to monitor. Of course this is also a threat but good luck proving anything.

Dedicated to the person complaining about racism against Japanese people under a post about how nice trees and hills look in AC: Shadows.

Some of us have been conditioned to understand „deregulation” as an attack on those that need protections most. This conditioning is due to real life experiences. 2008 banking crisis was not only caused by deregulation (which befitted the wealthy by design) but also resulted in a huge transfers of wealth due to bailouts that banks / wealthy got as an aftermath of the inevitable crash that it caused. No matter how you look at this, rich are always looking for an angle.

Rare instance of Trump being right. Ireland is a tax haven (but so is US). No sympathy to those who rob us from tax income.

One of the best directors around, responsible for stuff like Children of Men and Prisoner of Azkaban. This got rather interesting.

Did I get it right that you think that the masses don’t take vaccines because they are dumb?

You’re still on about factuality and finding truth as if that is going to solve the issue of antivaxxers. In the end you’re right but what are you really achieving? Did that make people take vaccines? Seems like that’s still declining so I’m talking about keeping societies functional by addressing underlying reasons for why we deal with antivaxxers at all.

Yes, but in Turkey? Musk is usually motivated by personal gain and approval seeking so I’m not sure how Erdogan fits into this. Yes, he’s a right wing autocrat, like almost everyone else in the area. I guess it was just a matter of remaining compliant with local laws / authorities because they have shown they can disconnect Twitter when they want.

That can’t be true, they must be leaking stuff this absurd to find real leakers lol.

What I was talking about is that while you disconnect from antivax people you might not notice they are growing in numbers. I don’t mean to say you have to engage or debate them because it’s not about facts anyway. That’s because antivax people are a symptom and not the cause and that leads me to another point. Given that rationality is not guaranteed in liberal democracies then we should consider politics to be merely means of negotiating terms of a shared reality with people that have potentially very different opinions.

You can say „I’m right so things should be done my way” but there’s no central authority that decides who’s right so in the end we can only rely on common laws that we agreed on.

To your point specifically, I’m not saying you should hang out with antivaxxers. You should hang out with diverse groups that might happen to include antivaxxers so you can talk to them and socialise them at least. Learn what their real issues are because vaccines certainly ain’t and it’s just a proxy for their mistrust of the system in general. Maybe once we get to the bottom of that then we don’t have to deal with antivaxxers at all which would be cool, eh?
