The US mercenary firm overseeing a controversial Gaza aid programme is the creation of a bespectacled Chicago private equity baron and a CIA spy with old ties to a Donald Trump ally who participated in one of the Middle East's nastiest diplomatic rif…
The European Union said it will stick to its timeline for rolling out its AI legislation, ignoring calls by tech companies to delay the bloc's AI rules.
Ah yes, the car: the pinnacle of freedom. Except no, it's the opposite. It's like being addicted to cigarettes. Once you've become fully dependent on them, and built your routine around them, and literally your whole schedule revolves around them, you forget how much life was before you decided to pick it up.
Freedom of mobility is being just as able to get from point A to point B as anyone else despite being physically unable to operate a motor vehicle. Freedom of mobility is not being stuck in endless traffic jams, burning the planet to the ground to stay cool in the middle of a 12 lane asphalt heat trap. Freedom of mobility is being able to hop up to the corner store without ever setting foot inside a car.
I moved somewhere I can leave the car at home for most trips and it's amazing. I get a day pass for the train and I dont have to worry about where I parked. I don't have to worry if I'll have a place to park. And my wife and I can decide when to go home separately if one has more energy than the other. Sure I need to be aware of when the trains slow down, but it really is freeing
I would love to be able to just take the bus to work. Even that would be great. Instead I have to drive and deal with traffic. I could be browsing lemmy or checking my schedule for the day, or taking a damn nap. But no, I'm "free" to take literally the only transportation option I have: my car. Walk? Nope, way too far. Ride the bike? If you like unprotected bike infrastructure and people passing you at 60mph, sure. Take the bus? Sure, just drive 10 minutes to the closest stop and take two different buses to get there on time.
God forbid we spend money on infrastructure that benefits us all. No no, let's build asphalt oceans so we can ply the open road with our Ford F-9000 Pedestrian Pulverizer Special Edition with the CUMmins My Ass v8 9.0 liter Diesel. Because you wouldn't want anything fuel efficient, then you can't bitch and whine about gas prices of course.
But it's cool, I guess. It's not like we're slowly cooking the planet with our shit box cars and stupid obsession with rugged individualism.
Matt Turnbull, an Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing, recently made a LinkedIn post, emphasizing that he'd be "remiss in not trying to offer the best advice" he could to laid-off workers in these trying times. This "best" advice is to turn to AI assistants like Copilot and ChatGPT for emotional support and to reduce cognitive load.
The latest attack on him is journalistically unconscionable, and so is the editors’ reaction to legitimate criticism. In a story played by its editors on its home page and boosted by its reporter as…

yeah. because countries arent anarchist, communities are. Anarchism explicitly rejects state power. But large parts of the Chiapas region in Mexico and Rojava region in Syria are community governed according to anarchist principles.

Israel has not disclosed information about Iran's successful strikes on five military targets, including a large airbase, The Daily Telegraph reported, citing an analysis of satellite data conducted by researchers at Oregon State University.
According to the newspaper, six Iranian missiles hit five targets in northern, southern, and central Israel, including an intelligence gathering center and a logistics base. The Daily Telegraph noted that Iran had struck more than 40 Israeli infrastructure targets as a result of the 12-day conflict.
Sent into Gaza straight from high school, five young Israeli conscripts describe the brutal, exhausting reality of the war with Hamas – a world of despair, rage and crippling fear, with no end in sight

L’altro giorno Altervista ha, a quanto pare (è uscito quel terribile avviso a tutto schermo nel pannello di WordPress), aggiornato i suoi termini di servizio… Io quindi giustamente ho preso il regolamento aggiornato, ho preso quello vecchio, ho ficcato entrambi dentro il coso per controllare le differenze, e ho riso malamente per quanto fa schifo, che in passato non ci avevo troppo fatto caso. 🍃
Il problema non è nei contenuti eh, non hanno nulla di strano o scomodo, e i cambiamenti che ci sono stati non fregano minimamente, sono i soliti dettagli burocratici o informativi (a parte il fatto che hanno cambiato il tempo entro il quale un sito viene considerato inattivo e quindi archiviato, da 24 a 12 mesi, damn)… Ma, in termini di forma, è allucinante quanti sono gli spacc presenti in questo testo già francamente più lungo e complicato del dovuto. Alcune schifezze sono uscite fuori con questo aggiornamento, ma alcune c’erano già da prima… chissà da quanto prima. 🥀
Il diff l’ho caricato su diffchecker.com/UmjOZ5th/, però intanto ecco qui il brutto, il brutto ed il brutto:
Già da prima, ci sono alcune virgole (,) che, in qualche modo, sono immediatamente precedute da caratteri di spazio, anziché dalla parola che c’è subito prima… e, ovviamente, questo è tecnicamente un errore in italiano. Ci sono anche dei due punti (:) messi in questo modo, ma per come stanno mi sembrano messi volutamente per fare una sorta di formattazione, quindi che passi (anche se non troppo, specialmente perché in HTML si può fare solo di meglio). 🥴
Non capisco quale dovrebbe essere la forma da loro prediletta, ma la cosa che mi da abbastanza fastidio è che c’è un infinito miscuglio tra apostrofi ASCII (') e quelli strani ricurvi (’). Questo già da prima, a quanto pare, ma ora sono aumentati davvero a dismisura, come si vede dal diff… e non capisco come sia possibile, magari hanno fatto un brutto miscuglio di editing tra in Word e fuori, ma comunque sia fa schifo; per favore, qualcuno sistemi. 😵💫
Alcune lettere È maiuscole accentate all’inizio di frasi sono magicamente diventate minuscole (è)… e non so come descrivere ciò se non con “cringe”. Quantomeno, non hanno usato la classica forma merdosa E', tipica degli utenti Windows e ancora più cringe, quindi almeno non c’è tantissimo da piangere… però caspiterina. 🤯

The math is stark, and the timeline is tight. By 2030, aging populations worldwide could trigger a $10 trillion hit to global GDP—unless AI and robotics step in to fill the gap.

There’s a good reason for this, and it’s not (just) that their beliefs were insincere. The whole point of thinking about structures like capitalism, patriarchy, or white supremacy is recognizing structural power beyond the intentions or beliefs of any individual actor. The problem with capitalism isn’t that particular business owners are greedy, it’s that the system of private ownership requires exploitation and poverty. The problem with patriarchy isn’t that all men happen to be evil and all non-men happen to be saints. The problem is the system that secures wealth, power, and safety for one gender at the expense of others.
We should think about state power in the same systematic way. It’s true—some politicians are especially terrible, just like some bosses are particularly noxious and some men are exceptionally patriarchal. But there are structural reasons for all men to take advantage of the privileges of patriarchy, whether we’re personally bigoted or not. Similarly, there are structural forces pressuring leftists in elected office to abandon their positions, entirely independent of their degree of personal ideological commitment

We, citizens of the USA, are slaves to the car.
