One lesson Democrats should take away from Zohran Mamdani’s campaign is that they should be as unapologetic about policies that help people as Republicans are about those that harm people (e.g ICE, no gun control, cutting healthcare subsidies, government layoffs, research funding cuts, etc).

Liefste Mastodon: help. Ik zoek een organisatie (#repaircafe , iets #fietsbieb achtigs,...) in de buurt van #Stekene waar oude laptops worden gewist en met een nieuw (#Linux) besturingssysteem ter beschikking worden gesteld van mensen of organisaties die ze nodig hebben. Ik heb zelf wel een laptop te geef, maar vooral: ik ken 'n pientere gast die daar best wat tijd voor zou kunnen maken (en die een positieve geengageerde "derde plek" nodig heeft). #jeugdzorg

George Clooney is an actor.

Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.

Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery.

This is a post about LLMs.

Or pretend that you are particularly anxious to do your work, and pester the foreman with unnecessary questions.

@greenpeteGreenpete @Em0nM4stodonEm @murmel_socialMurmel yeah it almost sound like if they were using AI... oh !

Compulsive contradictorians will say it's just custom feed like BS but as pointed, I don't think Murmel clients users follows consented to that.

Digests are being scraped and sent by email. "But you can't prevent your followers from saving your toots it's the same"

Indeed you can't prevent assholes.

“As we drive, we see them, more and more people out on the streets, watching. On a corner at a gas station, a small group of people, some in KN95 masks, stand on the grassy strip at the side of the road, watching. At the Home Depot, Lucy parks and hops out to say ‘hi’ to the people at the table near the parking lot, expecting them to shut down for the morning. A new shift of volunteers, however, has come to stay longer.“

Der Begriff "Vielvölkerstaat" hat mich schon immer irritiert.

It sure is wild seeing all these AI companies still hiring like the bubble is never ever going to burst

Team Orca is at it again

@darkphoenixash, legally I found this. I am slowly updating my mental vocabulary.

The #RemoteJobs doc is updated with a couple dozen roles in the last 3 weeks: https://cryptpad.fr/doc/#/2/doc/view/o8kgHv1xOnelmHzfCGuKuG9a5XgkJEN6u0IbZP7jfOg/

I recently switched from Google Docs to Cryptpad, the hyperlinks were a little buggy at first but seem to be working now (let me know if you run into any issues)

Mostly North America, some Europe & global roles, and as always, every role includes salary/pay info

I have COVID, now what?

You can still stop the spread of the virus

Reduce the likelihood of infecting others in your household by isolating yourself as soon as possible, improving air circulation, and encouraging everyone to wear masks. People who test positive for COVID are contagious for at least 10 days . After this period, another COVID test is recommended.

Avoid leaving home as much as possible. If you have an emergency or something that you cannot postpone, wear an N95/RN95/FPP2 mask.
(A PCR test may be required to obtain disability benefits or due to long-term persistent COVID )

Hydration
Dehydration is linked to developing long COVID so stay hydrated!

Rest
The risk of developing long COVID is higher in people who do not get adequate rest . Avoid exercise or physical activity during infection and in the weeks afterward. Rest and pacing yourself are essential to treating chronic fatigue syndrome, a common symptom of long COVID

Learn about Long COVID.
At least 50% of COVID infections are asymptomatic.
At least 10% of infections end in long COVID.

https://longcovidjustice.org/long-covid-essentials/

Long COVID is a set of health issues after someone has COVID-19. These could be: new health issues, ongoing issues, or worsening of previous symptoms or conditions. Long COVID is a biological disease that affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. It can cause significant disability and can be fatal. It is a continuing health crisis.

Learn about Long COVID.
Long COVID is an umbrella term that generally refers to symptoms which persist more than three months after a COVID infection.

It’s critical to note that Long COVID can affect any and all organ systems in the body. It can impact the heart, lungs, digestive system, pancreas, brain, kidneys, liver, and more. It can harm the immune system. For this reason, the damage SARS-COV-2 can leave behind in a body may seem random, strange, or hard to believe.

• Dizziness, lightheadedness, racing heart after COVID-19? It could be dysautonomia
• “Brain fog,” memory problems, and other neurological issues after COVID-19
• Why you should be careful about activity & exercise after COVID
• Racing heart or chest pain? Heart problems after COVID-19

“Every chain of transmission that is broken COUNTS. Every person who doesn’t get sick, who doesn’t lose THAT WEEK OF WORK, who doesn’t DIE or become DISABLED, from the smallest of inconveniences to the BIGGEST of losses – every single one of these things COUNTS.” - Becca on the Death Panel podcast

Masks are community care❤️‍🔥😷 free masks: maskbloc.org

• Remember: covid is not over, 50% of infections are asymptomatic, minimum 10% of infections end up in long COVID, re-infections wreck us, COVID spreads and moves like cigarette smoke, think of the people around you and you as people who are all day smoking, it becomes more visual to understand how COVID moves.
• There is no way to “train” the immune system because it is not a muscle. there is a common misconception that exposure to harmful germs strengthens the immune system. viral diseases like COVID, flu, measles weaken the immune system, leaving the possibility of lasting damage. The reality is that you don't build your immunity with repeated infections, vaccines strengthen the immune system by teaching it to recognize pathogens without all the risks. Focusing on infection prevention is key.
• Rapid antigen tests give many false negatives.
• Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world.
• Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception. Any reminder of the existence of a highly-transmissible, highly-dangerous, mass-disabling disease could trigger panic, or worse: organized, militant labor action. Averting this crisis required a careful campaign of culture-crafting; the people themselves needed to become convinced that there was no reason to fight. Consent for protracted mass infection needed to be manufactured.

“The cold truth of the matter is that the motive behind COVID minimization is greed and social control. (…) Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world. Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception.” Let Them Eat Plague! http://clarion.unity-struggle-unity.org/

I've been wearing these shoes for a little over a year now. Pretty much every time I meet someone new, I get asked if they're one pair or two. I ask them to guess

If you'd asked me a year ago how I thought the answers would split, I'd have said 90/10 in the correct direction. But having let several hundred people guess, it splits about 50/50

I put the answer in the alt text
