Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain.

In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.

Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..

Marsz Gniewu w Warszawie, nie mogło zabraknąć psychologów. Wspieramy inne związki w ich walce, a sami walczymy o godne zarobki m.in.w sektorze oświaty oraz regulację naszego zawodu, tak ważną dla nas, ale przede wszystkim pacjentów. Nikt nie chciałby być operowany przez fałszywego chirurga, tak potrzebne jest bezpieczeństwo w sferze zdrowia psychicznego. Nie zgadzajmy się na brak regulacji zawodu psychologa!

I feel like starting a #solarpunk discussion -

What would be the role of #software #engineer s in a Solarpunk future?

Let's be realistic, we don't want a priest caste worshipping the blockchain.

How to avoid the position of the "elite" or a "guild" hoarding power?

#permacomputing reverse engineers giving second lives to old machines?

#maintenance specialists of technology we want to keep around?

#UXDesign ers of not only technology, but ways to integrate it in our lives?

Share your ideas!

Let this sink in for a minute...

Of all the mammals on Earth, 96% are livestock and humans.

Only 4% are wild mammals.

Of all birds in the world, 70% are chickens and other poultry, just 30% are wild.

Some years ago we were driving up the M1 and I could see something ahead.
"Start filming" I yelled as I quickly switched from radio to MP3 and started scrolling through tracks.

Taking kid and 4 friends for birthday treat today. Half the other parents have cars but I'm taking them on the bus (hard to fit 5 kids in a normal car legally even if I wanted to). It will take maybe 15 mins longer than driving. We're lucky to live in a city with good public transport but even so it wasn't my first choice, in spite of never owning a car, maybe because I grew up with cars as first option? Normalising this stuff is hard even in #Copenhagen.

Dziś w #OkoPress mój kolejny tekst o sztucznie pompowanej bajerze wokół "sztucznej inteligencji":
oko.press/ai-juz-nie-straszy

> Mimo bombastycznych zapowiedzi dotyczących rzekomo nieograniczonych możliwości „sztucznej inteligencji” wygląda na to, że przestajemy kupować bajki gigantów technologicznych dotyczące wielkich modeli językowych. „AI” staje się coraz bardziej wyświechtanym zwrotem marketingowym

Moi mili silnik z mojego #UAZ #Buchanka wreszcie się powoli składa (siłami mechanika) I przy pomyślnych wiatrach w przyszłym tygodniu będzie zamontowany.

Po 3 miesiącach stania i czekania A to na wyjście silnika, a to na powroty mechaników/pracowników/szlifierzy z wakacji wreszcie UAZ znów pojedzie o własnych siłach.

No i jeszcze tylko koszty podliczyć... Bo niestety panewka okazała się przyczyną do remontu generalnego.

Z silnika w sumie został blok. Wymienili w nim wały korbowy i rozrządu. Panewki obu wałów. Tuleje cylindrów, tłoki, korbowody, zawory.

Same części to ponad 2500 pln. Do tego 1800pln usługa szlifierza. A co do mechanika nie wiem ile weźmie jeszcze ale od początku mówił że minimum 1000....

Boli ale mam nadzieję że już niedługo wyjadę nim na pierwszą dłuższą przejażdżkę

@hugh Road accidents aren't just accidents, they're collateral damage accepted by society to keep the system running and to make sure the car doesn't get too much restrictions. When you try to restrict cars in one car or another to improve traffic safety (lowering speed limits, limiting access for cars to certain streets, taking away parking space,...) the second string of excuses comes up every single time. It's a perfect analogy. @breadandcircuses

Think about a pedestrian/cyclist being hit by a car: the person with the lowest carbon footprint, space use, noise and pollution production hit by a high carbon, space-guzzling, noisy and polluting box of metal.

Roads are for **people**, not for cars - cars have their uses, but that does not imply that the whole system should be built to satisfy their merest whim.

So well done Wales for making 20mph the default speed limit in residential/built-up areas.

For years we wondered. What use would humanity find for cryptocurrency? Now we know. It is not necessarily a force for good.

I've had this image on my desktop for years now and every time I open it and re-read it I send a silent thank you to hyperactivehedgehog for posting it because it *always* makes me laugh.
