  RE: https://gruene.social/@coba/116701945132977954 This is why I don’t want “AI” to be put in *any* kinds of processes in administration or management! It looks like people might more likely wave through a stupid idea (that outwardly looks attractive and shiny) than come up with one themselves. Also, uncritical “AI" admiration and things.

  RE: https://hci.social/@peterpur/116692851974884104 Reminds me of Drew McDermott’s “Artificial intelligence meets natural stupidity.” Well, just the title. It is over 30 years ago I read it, no way I remember anything *in* the article any more. But the title sure is snappy, and fits *so* well here.

  RE: https://norden.social/@MissJonesTravel/116531972074399744 "Es gibt nur einen Gott: Arbeitsschutz!" Sehr gut und richtig. Ein konsequent vertretener Arbeitnehmerstandpunkt ist wichtig zur Wahrnehmung der eigenen *Rechte*.

  Dieser Artikel über Indigene Kulturen und die Kolonialisierung von @MissJonesTravel hat mir einige neue Einsichten vermittelt. Sehr zu empfehlen! Beispiele: • auch die “Wilden im Busch” passen ihre Umwelt ihren Bedürfnissen an • manche von Ihnen sind vor der Eroberung durch die Weißen in den Regenwald geflüchtet • sie zu kontaktieren hat ein hohes Risiko, sie umzubringen (durch Krankheiten, gegen die sie nicht immun sind) und das wissen sie https://www.miss-jones.de/2024/06/07/nein-die-wild...

  @yetiinabox @quixoticgeek In the 90s I borrowed a cube with '040 from a friend and wrote large parts of my diploma (Masters eqv.) thesis on it. That was a gorgeous machine. I loved that greyscale monitor, so crisp.

  Turns out when I am at work, the music of Rage Against the Machine is usually a good match for my mood.

  @JustaJason007 When we moved in together, we hired a small moving company, all part-timers (one a nursing student, one a taxi driver, one a restaurateur, and so on). The nursing student and the taxi driver looked at that chest and noticed it was empty, so they filled it with other stuff, and carried it without a hitch — not just the four flights down, but also four flights up at the destination. And proceeded with other stuff immediately. (2/2)

  Found out why my GitLab instance is so slow: Facebook has been scraping my repositories for 3 weeks now, apparently at the top of what GitLab could deliver on that small VM with just 2 CPUs and 1 thread each. And more, but all others are small fry in comparison. Well, not any more. For now, no access any more except for a very few select addresses. I'll be thinking of something more measured shortly. So long, and a happy Fuck You, Crawlers!

  RE: https://det.social/@lostgen/116440911374333138 I can see the quoted "Google effect" (no longer keeping lots of details on one's head; although with other search engines in my case) in myself, and I am not totally happy with that. It is not that different from the past with online manuals at your fingertips, though.
