Biuro mi zarosło przez te dwa miesiące #Wyprawa2023 😉

Jeśli pogoda i kręgosłup pozwoli w weekend ruszam do #Kraków i dalej #FromSilesiaToPolesia 🚴‍♂️

I am an influencer.

You have been influenced.

Discussion about chatGPT with grad students was much like discussing drugs with your kids: "So I just want to know if you, or people from your cohort, are using chatGPT in your thesis writing, or if you've tried it. If you are using it, the most important thing here is that you're honest about it."

No więc ten Belg, co chce jechać z Warszawy do Berlina 15 października i mnie zapytał, o co chodzi ze stroną intercity, że wszystkie połączenia na szaro i nieklikalne, napisał w końcu do intercity mejla. Na adres dla international passengers i w ogóle, bardzo szczegółowo opisał, o co mu chodzi (wiem, bo mi przysłał tego mejla później). Dostał odpowiedź, że pani Amelia nie rozumie i czy mógłby jakoś bardziej dokładnie wyjaśnić, jaki ma konkretnie problem. Mejla pani Amelia oczywiście napisała po polsku, Szanowny Panie, i w ogóle, because fuck you, that's why.

Ja nie wiem, polska kolej to jest naprawdę jakiś wyjątkowy fenomen i na zawsze już będzie miała w moim serduszku specjalne miejsce...

Zaraz do nich zadzwonię, może jak będę mówiła wolno i po polsku, to do nich dotrze. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Emiliagnathus my mother used to pass the paper on during WW2, just like a lot of her friends.
If you were caught, you would risk imprisonment or even being shot as a hostage in retalliation for attacks of the underground.
Freedom of speech and information is precious.. Both my grandparents kept on reading Trouw after the war...
It was the household newspaper Kampen where they lived

I am still a new (culturally and politically) guest in the #Netherlands and getting to know the local media. This piece gave me a somewhat unexpected opportunity to talk with a journalist from the newspaper Trouw, which I learned to have been "founded in 1943 as an orthodox Protestant underground newspaper during World War II" (Wikipedia) who "remain a newspaper rooted in a Christian tradition and to be a source of contemplation and inspiration for everyone, churchgoer or not, who feels a need for moral and spiritual orientation."
In the spirit of not engaging with trolls, I checked the profile of the newspaper before agreeing to a conversation. But I did not see this coming! Who said leaving Twitter would narrow down my bubble? Exactly the opposite is happening 😊 https://www.trouw.nl/duurzaamheid-economie/deze-nederlandse-wetenschappers-verlieten-x-twitter-we-werden-frauduleus-of-corrupt-genoemd~bc82d23f/

Christie's pretty sure her wildlife cam picked up a wolverine, a wolverine! a rare wolverine! Like everybody else, Christie's got a bad case of base rate neglect. https://www.lastwordonnothing.com/2023/08/18/the-wolverine-that-wasnt-2/

Więc mówisz, że kiedyś w komiksach nie było polityki (i tego całego woke)? [Epizod 43]

A pamiętasz, jak w 1980 (no... w 2020) roku wnuk oryginalnego Supermana, stawił czoła organizacji sprzeciwiającej się, w imię czystości ludzkiej rasy, związkom między Ziemianami i kosmitami?

"Superman", vol. 1, nr 354., DC Comics.

"The Debut of Superman III", scen. Cary Bates, rys. Curt Swan.

Like, as far as I can tell, the issue isn't that young girls aren't interested in STEM and need a 20 minute ad for the concept of technology, the problem is that they quickly run into an entrenched boys club in those fields that make them feel unsafe, condescended to and generally puts them off the whole thing.

@dzjr74 @monkeyborg home automation is fine as long as you're able to control your devices yourself though your own computer, and as long as they have no connection to the outside internet

I canʼt believe I have to tell people this, but

- Donʼt buy smart home shit
- Donʼt download an app to get a free smoothie
- Donʼt sign up for something you heard about in a piece of junk mail
- Donʼt create an account with fucking McDonald's or Chipotleʼs or whatever
- Donʼt use a coupon or a discount for something you werenʼt going to buy anyway
- Donʼt sign up for free trials
- Donʼt let the devil in through the front door
- Donʼt let them sell you anything

You will not come out ahead.

We've been living off this little #solarpower pack for 2 years now. It's made me a fan of #lowtech #tinker goodies and making do with what's available, rethinking what basic necessities we even need and what we can use in lieu of typical appliances.

Also It's absolutely ridiculous to me that Nova Scotia Power is both a for profit organization and the enforcer of safety regulations.

🔌🔋Power + internet should be #collectivelyowned and managed. The consolidation of ~power~ grinds my gears.🔋🔌

@emma It is vastly cheaper to give a benefit to everyone and then tax that amount from rich people than it is to run the massive bureaucracy of means testing.

“Low on data or power? Read a low-bandwidth version of this story here.”

This line at the top of a story about emergency wildfire evacuations stopped me in my tracks. I’ve never seen this before. A jolt, as I realised why it’s necessary for local readers.

Now I’m wondering: was it only a jolt now, this first time? Soon, will I not even notice, because it will be standard to see this, because disaster-prepped climate news stories will just be normal?

Shitposting to troll the 'but the economy' people every time they demand human sacrifice for the economy's sake

This is a part of the line of remembrance, where the Berlin Wall ran, in the middle of the city. It was 3.40m high and flanked by numerous other protective structures. As a child I was used to the Wall, and since 1990 it slowly disappeared, piece by piece. And yet - sometimes I am simply flabbergasted that today I can stand here with one foot on each side, just like that. Still an incredible feeling of happiness.
