Fiume ist übrigens das heutige Rijeka (Kroatien). Gabriele D‘Annunzio besetzte mit Freischärlern und Soldaten die Stadt und rief irgendwann eine sehr kurzlebige Regentschaft dieser aus. D‘Annunzio war quasi der Urfaschist: Ein ultranationalistischer Phantast und Dichter. Hat maßgeblich

that chatbot doing that unsafe/violative thing is not it 'going rogue' or an 'unfortunate incident of unintended consequences,' it’s the logical and devastating consequences of an unsafe product put out by irresponsible companies that have been conditioned to believe consequences dont exist for them

Every single young woman in the Bay Area jokes about “AI obsessed tech bros give you drugs, is into polyamory, doesn’t understand consent”. This is why they need Aella. They need a woman to lure young women in because the men are so fucking offputting

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Wie wärs, wenn wir alle Abgeordneten von der CDU schreiben, dass wir treue CDU-Wähler_innen sind, aber das Kreuz woanders setzen, wenn sie mit der AfD zusammenarbeiten. Es geht denen doch nur um Stimmen.

I can't help feeling a "game-changing" technology that's going to "transform" the way we work wouldn't need to be sneaked into products without the user's consent. All I see is posts asking "How do I switch this f**king thing off?" Copilot's the U2 album nobody asked for, except it's not free.

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide

great article about the devaluation of absolutely anything where women achieve 50%. which is a thing.

screenshot from the article:

Other disciplines that have experienced male flight include:

Biology. While most STEM professions remain male dominated, 10 years ago biology became a 50/50 male/female split. By 2022, 62% of biology majors were women. Biology is now often considered the “easiest” of the STEM majors.

Interior Design. William Morris is considered the father of interior design. After finishing his education at Oxford, he began an architectural design school called “the Firm”— just for men. Many universities had interior design programs. Until women began to enter the design space, at which point it was relegated to a mere “hobby.” Since the influx of women, interior design programs have been pulled from almost all universities.

Teaching. In the 18th century, schooling in colonial America was reserved for the white and the wealthy. Most tutors were men who taught boys. By the middle of the 19th century, girls started becoming students and women became teachers. Consequently, men swiftly left the profession, the pay dropped and teaching was no longer considered a prestigious occupation.

Similar patterns of male flight have occurred in nursing, cheerleading, social work, architecture, gymnastics, library sciences and psychology.

„Ich möchte ja gar nicht groß darüber meckern“ sagt eine Frau, die Shampoo bekommt, während ihre männlichen Kollegen 3.000 CHF bekommen. Wir sind immer noch zu nett und zu leise! #SmashThePatriarchy

Screenshot ZDF heute
„Skispringerin Selina Freitag hat bei der Two Nights Tour in Garmisch-Partenkirchen über Unterschiede bei den Prämien von Skispringerinnen und Skispringern berichtet.
Für ihren Qualifikationssieg habe sie Duschcreme, Shampoo und vier Handtücher bekommen. Bei den männlichen Assen wäre das
undenkbar, so Freitag.
Der Quali-Gewinner bei der Vierschanzentournee der Männer, Jan Hörl aus Österreich, erhielt
3.000 Schweizer Franken.
„Ich möchte ja gar nicht groß darüber meckern, aber da sieht man die Unterschiede", sagte Freitag in der ARD.“

Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy.

looking for work (screenshot because yapping is not permitted on Bluesky)

screenshot of my own post on X:

“right I need to be Honest for a bit

I came to the final decision to drop out of university at the end of 2024, as it’s just been a massive drain on me mentally that would take time away from my own endeavours and I simply haven’t gotten much out of it, making this my final semester. I’ve been taking courses at a glacial pace to allow time for Anything Else, so if I were to continue at that rate, I would be unlikely to get out for another 20 years or something. it’s honestly lifted a pretty large weight off of my shoulders, as I’d never seen university as being My Future and being the path I wanted to focus on for my career, and I really just want to move on with my life. I now feel free to do just that

as a result, I am looking for a full-time position in graphic design, specifically UI/UX design, and I will now actually have the time to take on one with university out of the picture

I’m in Germany so my time zone is CET, but I’m rather flexible and will be able to accommodate international time zones. it MUST be remote within the immediate term, but I am open to relocating in the future and move to working in-office if that would be preferable to you

you already know what I do, so contact me at hello@lucia.red if you’re interested in working with me”

This applies to artists too!! This is why sites like kofi or cara or anywhere don't allow sexual images, it's the credit card's fault, so sign this if you either draw NSFW, or know anyone who does

IDK who needs to hear this, but you're allowed to like one part of a band's discography and not the other. You don't have to know the whole history of a band to be a fan. You can just simply LIKE the music. You don't need to know names of every album or song or band member. You can just LIKE music.

The PlayStation 5 Pro doesn't feel like the console of the future; it feels like a vestige of a rapidly disappearing past. This week's announcement just showcased the futility of the video game graphics arms race. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

bloomberg.com

PlayStation 5 Pro Shows the Futility of the Video-Game Graphics Race

It’s become redundant to say that a modern game has “great graphics,” the way everyone did in the 1990s or early 2000s. These days, they all do.

It’s important to understand that this is the way all capitalists think about all the “little people” they exploit; this one is just saying it with no filter, which happens every now and then with people who have become accustomed to thinking of their fellow human beings as food.
