#Mikroapartamenty, mówicie.

Warming is warming, but another #winter is coming and in different parts of the world people will be freezing. Not far from here, #Russia continues to destroy Ukrainian infrastructure, and #Ukraine is preparing for another hardcore winter.
And this affects not only those fighting on the front lines, but also civilians in cities and rural areas.
That's why we want to add our micro contribution to winter aid and take up the production of chemical warmers, disposable and reusable.
- Reusable ones (sodium thiosulfate or sodium acetate with a mechanical trigger) in the form of larger and smaller pads, as well as inserts for vests (first aid for hypothermia).
- Disposable in the form of shoe and gloves inserts (catalytic iron oxidation),

We are looking for people willing to develop prototypes from publicly available materials, which we will test, publish documentation (under a C0 license) and put into production. We do not intend to sell it. We will collect donations to cover the costs, and the produced heaters will go to medical and aid groups."

Call for Literary Submissions from Around the World

Rural Fiction Magazine (RFM) would like to publish more writers from around the world, regardless of your country of origin. I am seeking short fiction and poetry and non-fiction articles on topics of interest to a rural audience in any nation, but I am open to more than just fiction and poetry. I am also open to short plays, folklore, legends, tall tales, essays, etc. I am open to almost all genres such as fantasy,…

Why the world should listen to environmentalists: because with few exceptions, we've repeatedly been proven right.

If we are wrong, then 20 years from now all those trees, buried fossil fuels, free flowing rivers, wildlife and clean air will still be there for the next generation to fuck up if they want.

Unfortunately, we've been full-Cassandra on almost everything.

Cześć, to mój pierwszy toot! Zajmuję się analizą dezinformacji, edukacją medialną i higieną cyfrową. Czasami prowadzę zajęcia w szkołach, uniwersytetach i uniwersytetach trzeciego wieku. No i czasami dodaję niewielki wkład na Wiki. 🫡

Nie jestem jeszcze mastodonowo-biegły ale już mi się podoba, chcę prowadzić to konto dwujęzycznie i zobaczymy czy będzie to miało sens. W każdym razie postaram się tootować o #dezinformacja. Póki co dorzucam jesienny obrazek!

Freezing dog water season is upon us.

Stolpersteine in front of an old apartment block in Berlin Neukölln. 11 Jews from 7 families who were taken from their homes to be murdered in Auschwitz or elsewhere, sometimes within 2 or 3 days. I have often seen such stones, usually two or three, but 11 at once? Their descendants live among us if they escaped hell. They might be your neighbours. Show your love to both Jews and Palestinians these days. Please.

I bought 6 tanks of gas for 2023.

For reference, in February 2020 I bought 8 tanks alone.

That's a big reason why the billionaires & and ownership class are shitting bricks over #WorkFromHome #RemoteWork

Just in case this is news to you:

"Medical bankruptcies are mostly unheard of outside of the United States."

and also,

"62.1 percent of all bankruptcies in the United States were 'medical bankruptcies.'"

But somehow this is normal...

I don't think about who was The Thing at the end of the movie. All I think about is this one line of dialogue. Every day.

REMINDER: ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, and other large trained neural models are NOT "artificial intelligence", they're just stochastic parrots, remixing and regurgitating what they've been fed. There's no theory-of-mind involved, so no understanding: there's no "there" there. (A real live parrot exhibits more intelligence than this.)

Don't call it AI; call it parrot-tech. That way you'll have a better perspective on what it can (and can't) do.
