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

I think I just found an obituary for someone I knew from my forum days many years ago... :/

A problem with #gamers and a lot of #gaming spaces is that a very large portion of that population, including people who would even label themselves as leftists/feminists/anti-racists/etc seem to believe that video games and their related spaces should be removed from such problems.

type of enby who rejects gender labels vs type of enby who owns a label maker

*watching a live music performance*

nobody:

absolutely nobody:

not a single soul:

rail: oh, i know what earphones the artist is using! i have them!!!!

there's a healthy quantity of music celebrating the confidence of knowing, as a woman, everyone wants you

but not enough celebrating being feared

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]

Show thread

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]

Show thread

Ook XR Rebels of Colour deden mee aan de A12-blokkade om een direct einde aan fossiele subsidies te eisen. Helaas trad de politie disproportioneel op tijdens de toespraak die een van hen hield. [1/3]

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.

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

i propose an internet-wide server eepy time, where once every month, we just shut down all long-running servers so they can rest for a bit :3 and that way internet users can get some time off the web too!
