generative AI crap, Trivago
"“The spot is an evolution of the Mr. Trivago or Mr. and Mrs. Trivago spots that in the past had 20 spokespeople and 35 productions,” Trivago CEO Johannes Thomas told Skift. “The beauty now in leveraging AI is to have one actor in one production, and being able to cut production times in half.”"
I don't know, but if I were Trivago, I would probably be asking questions about how we're doing only 3% of the previous productions but still paying 50% of the cost

not this again... red flags in friends relationship
This is the 3rd time in my life a close friend tells me he can't text me anymore because he has a girfriend now.
Get out of here. Such bullshit. No. Stay here. In this friendship. Get away from that relationship, running.
In the first two cases, it was because I was (perceived to be) female and they were weird about being close to other women. Which is weird nonsense.
This time.. his girlfriend doesn't want him to have ANY friends but her.
Run boy, run.
Extinction Rebellion veroordeelt deze intimidatie en criminalisering van activisme met klem. Het is een grof schandaal dat de Nederlandse overheid de vrijheid van meningsuiting van vreedzame demonstranten inperkt. Bijgevoegd de toespraak voor wie het niet heeft kunnen horen. [3/3]
Politieagenten in burger probeerden XR Rebels of Colour de mond te snoeren door de luidsprekers af te pakken. Let op: de toespraken waren naast de A12 in de supportdemo. Dit gebeurde nadat een andere rebel die een toespraak hield van het podium gehaald was. [2/3]
We are Mitosis, a newly formed intersectional anarchist radical communal care collective.
We are members who split from our original "Radical Communal Care" group.
Our priority is caring for each other, for the planet, for other beings. This care is both our goal and a means to an end to create a more just world, that is safe for everyone.
In a world with violent capitalist politics, war, an ongoing pandemic and on the brink of a climate catastrophe, caring for one another is a radical act. It is both the smallest and the biggest thing that we can do right now, every day.
We recognize how the violent hierarchical systems we were raised in can impact our actions, and want to learn and unlearn together. We strive to create an environment in which we can feel safe to do so.
We extend empathy to others and to ourselves, try our best to understand each other and celebrate our differences.
Our intersectional values lead us to oppose all forms of oppression and injustice, including but not limited to ableism, speciesism, racism, queerphobia.
We advocate for wearing masks, cleaning the air, accessibility, inclusion.
Please follow us to keep up-to-date with our development and ways to get involved as we grow as a collective.

I don’t know who made this, but I’m glad they did. It’s an inspiring sentiment.
The term "Luddite" has become synonymous with "technophobe" but that's not what the Luddites were about. They were a labour movement that fought to give workers control over the technology that was advancing without oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?
"Luddite" as a pejorative was a technocrat PR coup.
layoffs, labour exploitation

Looks like even the WaPo is catching on to the privileged position of tech workers vaporizing.
The best time to start unionizing was yesterday. The next best time is now.
Tekenaar @royaards verbeeldt in @Trouw heel treffend hoe verschillend Nederland en Duitsland op de opkomst van het fascisme reageren. #NieWiederFaschismus #WirSindDieBrandmauer

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
