Paus' Nein im Kabinett: Was ist los bei den Grünen?

Was steckt hinter dem Veto der grünen Familienministerin gegen ein Gesetz des FDP-Finanzministers? Es zielt nicht nur auf den Koalitionspartner, analysiert Björn Dake. Paus sendet auch ein machtpolitisches Signal an Vizekanzler Habeck.

GlowingLantern,

@mavori @tagesschau Schon erstaunlich wie eine Partei, die am liebsten den öffentlichen Rundfunk abschaffen würde, so in Schutz genommen wird. Vielleicht hofft sich der ein oder andere bei BILD noch einen Job zu bekommen 😉

Personalnot im ÖPNV: Wenn von 260 geplanten S-Bahnen 257 ausfallen

Auch Verkehrsbetriebe leiden zunehmend unter Fachkräftemangel. In Leipzig fallen daher immer mehr S-Bahnen ersatzlos aus. Pendler können sich kaum auf pünktliche Fahrten verlassen. Von S. Spyropoulos, N. von der Weiden und F. Wellisch

GlowingLantern,

@tschaefer @tagesschau Die Sanierung kann dauern, wie man es bei Stuttgart 21 sehen kann. Dies ist das Ergebnis von versäumter Investitionen der letzten 30 Jahren.

HER: What's your cell plan?”

ME: Bodily decay over decades until inevitable mortal collapse. You?

HER: ... V-Verizon.

GlowingLantern,

@baruch @batkaren Fun fact: T-Mobile (Deutsche Telekom) and DHL (Deutsche Post) were originally the German Federal Postal Service. It's crazy how huge these companies have become, since they were split and privatised.

Klimawandel: Folgt auf den Bauboom die Bauscham?

Der Neubau von Gebäuden verursacht hohe CO2-Emissionen. Manche Städte wollen den Bau von Einfamilienhäuser nur noch in Ausnahmefällen genehmigen. Lassen sich KIlimaschutz und bezahlbares Wohnen miteinander vereinbaren? Von Anke Heinhaus.

GlowingLantern,

@tagesschau “Urban sprawl” nennt sich das und ist abgesehen vom Klima einfach schlechte Städteplanung. Ich würde lieber in einem Mehrfamilienhaus mit guter Anbindung zum ÖPNV und Laufabstand zu Läden und Ärzten leben wollen, als in einem Einfamilienhaus wo man nur mit dem Auto irgendwo hinkommt.

You love to see it.

The Framework Laptop 16 will have in-house support and installation guides for Fedora! With its AMD CPU and GPU you will be teed up for success on Linux.

Fedora 🤝 @frameworkcomputer

Pre-orders are open (as long as the website stays up 😅): https://frame.work/blog/framework-laptop-16-pre-orders-are-now-open

@fedora @frameworkcomputer All laptops should be modular, or at least user repairable.

gets a (new) search engine

It already had search (with some rough edges), but people are already making their own to fill specific needs ... chiefly it seems to replace the Google site: reddit.com search facility.

See ...

Interesting to see a platform culture completely embrace being open and public.

Men hunt and women gather? Large analysis says the long-held idea is flat-out wrong

Dozens of academic papers, published over the past 100 years, that focused on 63 hunter-gatherer societies and burials of female hunters from around the world, including groups in North America, Africa, Australia and Asia.
https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/men-hunt-and-women-gather-large-analysis-says-the-long-held-idea-is-flat-out-wrong

GlowingLantern,

@DamienMarieAtHope I always found that theory to be overly simplistic. The athletic abilities of men and women can be seen as two bell curves that have a relatively large intersection in the middle. It’s only when you go to the edges of each respective curve, where you’ll find noticeable differences. Why would hunter gatherer societies intentionally hamstring themselves by having rigid gender norms?

Well, at least Reddit has admitted their "we're not trying to be like Twitter/Elon" stuff was false

GlowingLantern,

@christianselig “Agressive cost cutting” like laying off 75% of your workforce and not paying your bills. I never knew that acting as if your company is insolvent was a sound business strategy. We all have our role models, I guess.

@pluralistic got it right in Feb:

"...new services always experience 'scalloped' growth. That’s where an outside event — a positive narrative about the new service, or a catastrophe affecting the old one — drives a surge of new users.
Some...try the new service, decide it’s not worth it, and leave — but not all of them. Each event triggers a high tide of new signups, but the low tide that follows is still higher than the old ...Surge after surge, the number of users steadily builds."

GlowingLantern,

@tchambers @pluralistic I’ve been on Mastodon since 2018, and there have been many waves before the most recent Twitter-tsunami. Each wave is larger than the one before and more people decide to stay. Other services also have an impact. The fact that journalists are already familiar with Mastodon and the Fediverse certainly helped when reporting on Reddit, Lemmy and kbin. Now, it’s the whole Fediverse, not just Mastodon, that has reached the limelight.

Google drängt massiv auf Rückkehr aus Homeoffice

Die geltenden Regeln zur Arbeit aus der Ferne will Google nun auch formal in seine Arbeitsrichtlinien aufnehmen und macht Druck.

GlowingLantern,

@heiseonline Home Office muss sich aus Umweltschutzgründen in naher Zukunft durchsetzen: weniger Pendelverkehr, weniger Flächen- und Energieverbrauch, mehr Wohnraum, aber auch mehr Zeit für Familie, Freunde oder Hobbies.

Wenn es an der Zusammenarbeit im Home Office hakt, könnte man vielleicht dafür eine Lösung finden, ohne gleich Home Office an sich zu verbieten.

wow this Steam Deck mod is great. also exactly what I would want from a Switch 2, dual screen https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1409xan/twice_the_screens_double_the_fun_steam_deck_dual/

GlowingLantern,

@djlink Do you think Nintendo will use those fancy new foldable screens in their next console? Then, you could even have content that spans across the whole screen, like maps, and not just on one or the other.

My current favourite Chicago station is Cicero on the green line. I mean, just look at this.

GlowingLantern, (edited )

@mwichary It’s interesting that they still decided to create an elevated train, even though they already had one to clear. The street is wide enough to accommodate the train on ground level. In my city, Stuttgart, they would have done just that.

https://youtu.be/dIe6SbNgJHA

At around 2:00 you can see a similarly wide residential street, where the Stadtbahn (light rail/tram/subway) is just on ground level.

GlowingLantern, (edited )

@mwichary PS: The new Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (central station for high speed rail) has a similar problem, just underground. It needs to go over and under two U-Bahn (light rail) and S-Bahn (heavy rail) tunnels. It’s, therefore, built at a relatively high angle. However, if you’re actually standing there, it’s not really noticeable.

https://youtu.be/8pogeg6Oy5w

You can get a glimpse of the existing S-Bahn station at 1:45. This is one of Europe's largest and controversial construction sites, BTW.

GlowingLantern,

@TopKnot @AnarchoNinaWrites ChatGPT and similar "AI" are just "stochastic parrots". It is very good in simulating natural language, as it knows what words should follow other words in a specific context. However, it has no concept of meaning or correctness. The generated "facts" are statistically likely, but not necessarily true. Therefore, it shouldn't be seen as a search engine or even a calculator, because that's not what it does. It simulates language, nothing more, nothing less.

GlowingLantern,

@wolf480pl @TopKnot @AnarchoNinaWrites The difference is that the human brain understands what a sentence means. You can look at a sentence, understand its meaning and check if what was written is correct. A LLM only looks at which words would fit best in a given context. It does not understand what it's saying. Therefore, the errors it makes are often along the lines of making up scientific papers it's supposed to quote or saying that a company that does not exist is supplying a given service.

It appears that Instagram is blocking the #joinpixelfed hashtag

We wonder why 😉

https://pixelfed.org

Instagram explore page with #joinpixelfedorg a non-existent hashtag
Instagram explore page with #pixelfed showing posts as expected, we'd expect either of the previous images for the #joinpixelfed hashtag

GlowingLantern, (edited )

@pixelfed The Fediverse is slowly gaining momentum in the mainstream media*, so a very good ActivityPub-powered Instagram alternative (that they didn't create themselves) can seem very scary for Meta executives.

Könnt ihr euch noch an Rätsel aus einer Rollenspielrunde zurückerinnern? Entweder weil sie so gut waren oder weil ihr sie einfach nur verbockt habt?

GlowingLantern,

@kleine_helden Ich weiß nur, dass es als Spielleiter schwierig ist den Schwierigkeitsgrad von Rätseln abzuschätzen. Entweder sind sie zu schwierig oder zu leicht. Hauptsache, als Spielleiter hat man noch einen Plan B oder C, falls das eine oder andere schief geht 😉

GlowingLantern,

@luana @mrhamel @Mastodon As each instance is a separate service provider with different policies and regulations (depending on hosting location and nationality of the owner), I can imagine Mastodon gGmbH doesn’t want the legal trouble of automatically directing people to instances outside of their control. The curated server list and account migration is still available, but then the responsibility lies with the user.
