Hörte soeben den Satz "Naja was soll die ARD auch machen, solange die AfD nicht offiziell verboten ist?"
Weil viele das gar nicht zu wissen scheinen, hier daher ein wichtiger 🚨#Servicehinweis 🚨
So lange dies ein freies Land ist, das die Blaubraunen noch nicht ganz übernommen haben, braucht ihr keine, wiederhole, KEINE behördl Genehmigung mit Stempel &Abschrift, um Führungspersonal des Clubs "freundliches Gesicht des NS" (M. Helferich AfD) zum Teufel zu schicken, statt ihnen Bühnen zu geben.
One of the companies I consult with dropped a heads up in the Slack channel that someone was sending out requests claiming to be their CEO asking for Apple gift cards and not to respond because it’s a scam. I replied I know he only accepts Google Play cards but nobody laugh reacted so I’m sharing my joke here because I need dopamine
I turned 35 today, so I'm giving myself a gift.
I'm absolving myself of having to think about AI anymore. And I finally wrote about it somewhere durable to free myself from feeling like I need to keep reiterating my position.

The billionaires don't want us to own anything. They want us to rent everything from them. Now in this new development, billionaire tech bros don't want us to have any skills anymore. They want us to rent those skills from them. That's my big view of the whole sickening situation.

They think all those women cranking out 5-13 kids due to lack of birth control options are going to be able to do 24-7 nursing home care of needy family, friends, and neighbors. #WomenAreNotSlaves
Trumpers are gonna love it when their incapacitated elders have to move home and be cared for 24/7 but they'll find a way to make it Biden's fault. Because they're stupid, deluded, mean little shits.
Now, for the 37% who have the means ($96,000 - $180,000 per year, out of pocket) to pay in full for nursing home care : Find the nursing home that can operate with a 63% cut in income, expect their operational costs to be divided among fewer payees, raise their prices, reduce staff and services, relocate to a centralize location of a likely paying demographic, and hope to find lower wage green card immigrants not afraid of being illegally shipped to South Sudan by ICE.
Meanwhile, those who also use Skilled Nursing Facilities for temporary recovery or rehab, lol, guess what? This affects you, too.
This IS Trump's ideal America. Good luck. Anyone who voted Trump, or refused to vote Harris deserves every bit of this. The rest of us, get angry and put the blame on all those adults who chose to ignore the consequences of their adult choice.
The strategy is simple! 1. Outlaw abortion and defund contraception. 2. Bigger insurance and hospitals profits from forced births! This is perfect for protecting the most vulnerable part of the US, the CEOs!
As a result, labor wards and nursing homes will start closing within the next few years. Starting in rural areas first, where they are already hurting for lack of these services.

"Gebt denen doch keinen Grund, sich zum Opfer zu machen."
Wer das sagt, hat die AfD nicht verstanden. Die brauchen keinen Grund. Die machen sich zum Opfer, egal wie sauber du sie behandelst. Während sie selbst ein dreckiges und verlogenes Spiel spielen.
Überdies ist das schon gar kein Grund, um damit friedlichen Protest zu delegetimieren. Wenn ihr ne Aktion gegen Faschisten doof findet, wäre die solidarische Handlung, halt die öffentliche (!) Kritik stecken zu lassen. Oder zumindest besser zu verargumentieren.
Überdies fällt jegliches Agieren gegen die AfD unter "damit können die sich zum Opfer machen". D.h. der Umkehrschluss dieses Satzes bedeutet "Wehrt euch nicht gegen die AfD" und spätestens dann wird klar, wie gefährlich und falsch der Satz ist.
Und WEHE mir kommt jetzt jemand mit "inhaltlich stellen". Das hat jetzt seit knapp 10 Jahren nicht funktioniert, OBWOHL uns führende Faschismusforschende von Anfang an gesagt haben, dass das nicht funktioniert. Wie lang kann eine Leitung sein?
Ich fand ja, dass das mit dem inhaltlich Stellen bei diesem Interview erstmalig funktioniert hat. Ich musste die meiste Zeit so lachen, dass es mir kaum möglich war dem Gerede zu folgen.
Der ÖRR darf die Tonspur gern unter alle AFD-Beiträge legen. So funktioniert wirkungsvoller Faktencheck bei professionellen Lügnern.
Ist halt das postfaktische Zeitalter. Wir wissen ja auch seit den 70ern um die Klimakatastrophe, aber Fakten interessieren eben einfach zunehmend weniger.
Und so ist AfD „inhaltlich stellen“ doch eigentlich nur eine Beschreibung von „wir machen weiter wie bisher, auch wenn's faktisch nix bringt, dann müssen wir uns nix Neues überlegen und haben voll was getan gegen Rechts, gell ei, also sieht zumindest so aus.“
@nielso Genau das. Vor allem der letzte Teil. Die wollen es ja gar nicht verhindern. In dieser Sache ist sich die Union ja seit Hitler treu geblieben. Oder naja. Zwischendurch war das vorübergehend mal anders.
Konservative tappen immer wieder in dieselbe Falle. Sie rennen Rechtsextremisten hinterher und betreiben Kulturkampf. Fünf Regeln, um das zu verhindern.
@Isabelle_Vannier @nielso Also am Grundgesetz (und damit auch am Asylrecht) haben sie ja auch mitgeschrieben. Und unter Kohl gab es wenigstens nen Spitzensteuersatz. Und das mit dem Treibhauseffekt haben sie auch irgendwie kapiert und hingekriegt. Alles nichts, was die Union alleine hinbekommen hat. Es spricht schon Bände, dass man rückblickend den Eindruck hat, dass die Union mal Anstand hatte.
Interview [mit Faschos] DEUTLICH VOR Ausstrahlung aufzeichnen und "Faktencheck" mit aufgedeckten Lügen DEUTLICH NACH Ausstrahlung irgendwo ins Netz stellen.
A small human (5?) is standing in line at a checkout with his mum. He says: "I'm grumpy Mum." Mum puts an arm around his shoulders. "Would a banana help?" He nods, scowling: "Yeah. I might need two. I'm REALLY grumpy."
A disgruntled small human (4?) is standing in his front garden next to a row of citrus trees. He sob-roars: "MUUM, KAYDEN WON'T PLAY WITH ME!" Next to him, Big Brother (6?) bellows: "Yeah. But. Mum! He wants to throw lemons at my bum!" Disgruntled Small Human stomps his foot: "It's FUN!"
A young human (9?) is trying out some new rollerblades. She wants to do it on her own and doesn't need Dad's help at all. Oh. Wait! Wooooah. Wobbbllle. Okay, maybe she could hold Dad's hand for just a little bit. Just until she steadies herself.
Two women (20s?) are in deep conversation as they look at silver rings. They want to pick one for each other, but there are so many to choose from! They decide to hug and go get some cake

A motley crew of five cats have colonized a sunny patch of road. One very big fluffy cat has the sunniest bit and the four others are dotted around him like furry satellites. Fat Cat runs this show and as far as he's concerned, they are ALL his minions.
Any typos spotted in this post are a bit wobbly with their punctuation. If spotted, direct them to a sunny spot to sit in and maybe offer them a banana just in case they're grumpy.

Klar kann man kritisieren, dass das #Sommerinterview mit Alice Weidel gestört wurde. Man könnte aber auch Faschist:innen einfach keine Plattform mehr geben. Schlimm genug, dass die Saboteur:innen unserer Demokratie von unseren Steuergeldern leben.
20 dollar per hour is minimum wage in US right? So even for a fresher, like their first UX job with 0 experience an employer can't pay below $35K right?
That's 2.5 lakhs a month, that's the average salary for a fresher in US
uhh..no lol it's $7.25/hr, and that's if your job even qualifies. Agricultural workers typically get paid "piece work" or per item harvested, so it's only minimum wage of you're strong/fast enough. Jobs where the worker can expect to get more than $30/month(!) in tips can get paid the "tipped minimum wage" of $2.13/hr so it's only minimum wage if you're pretty enough or obsequious enough. Imprisoned (enslaved) workers get maybe $1/day. There are so many ways employers can get out of paying even the so-called minimum
Worked as a kid peeling tulips, other flower bulbs to support the regular workforce during the season. Though there's legal minimum wage the only payment was per crate, you had to work with inhuman robotic speed to earn anything near a decent living (and able to stand the pesticides on these bulbs).
Today there are still convenient loopholes that allow migrant workers to do effectively forced labor at a dime.
"They steal our jobs" is BS. No one *wants* such jobs.
Nach einer Woche Krieg mit über 900 Toten scheinen die Kämpfe beendet. Doch das Kernproblem bleibt ungelöst: Wer hat das Sagen – Staat oder Milizen? taz.de/!6098688
(1/6) Am 19.07 zogen bis zu 90 #Neonazis unter Motto 'Kein Verbot stoppt schwarz-weiss-rot!' auf Aufzug durch #Münster. #ms1907 Anlass der #Versammlung war die, nach Meinung der Neonazis ungerechtfertige, kurzfristige Auflage bei einem Aufzug am 05.07. 229 Fotos bei Flickr: flic.kr/s/aHBqjCndA9
(2/6) Auch am 19.07 achtete die Polizei penibel auf die Einhaltung der Auflagen der #Neonazi #Versammlung, so startete der Aufzug erst 2 Stunden nach Beginn der Versammlung. Immer wieder wurden, trotz Abkleben von strafrechtrelevanten Tattoos, Neonazis aus Versammlung geführt und überprüft
(4/6) Als Versammlungsleiter traten #Neonazis Christian Worch und Sascha Krolzig auf. Neben diesen sprachen noch Claus Cremer und Sven Skoda durch Lautsprecheranlage.
(5/6) Die Lautsprecheranlage der #Neonazis überhitzte bei der Zwischenversammlung in #Münster und schaltete sich automatisch immer wieder aus, sodass keine Rede ohne Unterbrechungen gehalten werden konnte. #ms1907
Nicht Alice Weidel ist das Problem – sie spielt nur ihre Rolle. Das eigentliche Versagen liegt bei der ARD: Sie bietet rechtsextremen Positionen Sendezeit, ohne sie entschlossen einzuordnen. Wer im Namen der Ausgewogenheit politische Brandstifter hofiert, betreibt kein journalistisches Format – sondern Normalisierung im öffentlich-rechtlichen Gewand. #ARD
I want to create #nerd stuff. Of all #sticker/tshirt printing companies doing business in Europe, which one is the go-to choice (in terms of fairness, service and price/value)? #question
@musevg Personally, I couldn't recommend any of the current german textile printing services. They all have their downsides. Sometimes you don't earn anything or they want money from you to sell your work for their profit, sometimes they are difficult to use, sometimes the quality is poor, sometimes they refuse to print your designs. Best of luck.
@musevg In that case, you're asking the wrong person. I have no idea. This is because I offer designs for custom textiles, not buy custom printed textiles. (I wear all colours and patterns as long as they are pitch black:, so no- not a t-shirt shop customer and thus no 1st hand customer-experience) ).
If I understand correctly, social media displaced RSS as a way to subscribe to blogs. But then once big tech decided that limiting reach was more profitable, going back to a protocol to avoid corporate control via email newsletters became popular. But now that substack dominates the space, we have a perfect opportunity for #ActivityPub and services you can run however you want like #ghost and #wordpress. But then we also really need readers and payments.
Is there any prior experience, I wonder, of open social networks where free culture thrives, and the socio-cultural impact that introduction of monetization schemes has on such environments?
I'm quite worried about how such introduction for fedi may create monetary incentives that attract people for all the wrong reasons, and in ways that harm the current culture of fedi, which sets it apart from mainstream corporate social media.
but I'm a weirdo re fedi culture. it's too restrictive for me. I think we generally don't recognize how much more of a diversity of opinions we could welcome as long as we focus more on unwanted tagging from any side and less on misinfo and shitty opinions expressed to no one in particular.
so if the money brings annoying people but we just keep people from spamming and being assholes to each other, we'll be able to coexist like we do on the open web.
yes, I can understand. Got to add that I am also a bit worried about our ability to handle these "ifs" appropriately in the current direction that fediverse evolves. But we'll see what happens. Currently anything goes, and if someone throws monetized solutions into the mix, we gotta deal with the consequences afterwards, best way we can.
@smallcircles Look at the status of social media. Monetisation seems to rot everything. I’d ask myself first, why do I need to think about money when I want to interact with people? Could we enjoy things as they are, instead of jumping to a money-extracting mindset by default? Wouldn’t this be a much more genuine experience?
I think I largely agree but imo it depends on how we handle the money. Creators need to get paid to be able to spend time on what we love, but let's get it to them and not corporate middlemen. Please see below.
And I see social media as much bigger than networks of friends, but how we fix the power of money over cultural attention. How we get a media pushed more to serve the public interest than their own. #DemocracyOfReach
I had this idea I called #PublicPatron years ago. I think open protocols are getting us closer to making an even better version possible.
Everybody sets up any monthly amount in their banking app.
@smallcircles Jubilee’s latest video on YouTube (the one that is making rounds in the monetised Internet this week) was a stark reminder on why I don’t like money mixed with social media. That shit is depressing.
Witnessing the social dynamics on the cesspit that #Youtube is, is fascinating. Near nothing is genuine, everyone is hustling their channels.
Cool reaction vid? Wait until you see them react the 2nd time on that vid as if it was their 1st. Nice vid of people dancing on techno party, setting the crowd in motion? Staged. And your recommender will serve you more.
but the problem is their algo and willingness to host shit, all for the money. not that people can get paid for their work.
I think a decentralized social media without algos or ads changes the game. people would have to choose to spread the junk and pay the junk creators themselves. some will do that but it mostly won't reach the rest of us, unlike today.
Yes, that may make a big difference. Note that I'm not against of providing easier ways to monetize good services per se, just that in current environment we aren't too good as-a-commons to assure that it lands well and does not squander the good fedi culture we want to retain and help prosper.
