Teaching in Hong Kong, and Visiting Macau — Travels in China

Sehr bedenkenswert wie ich finde. Das ganze Denken, aus dem das "wir brauchen Verbeamtungen" kommt, ist ja doch auch sehr mittelalterlich, hochherrschaftlich, aristokratisch.
Von daher wenig Erstaunen bei mir, dass das ohne Beamte besser funktioniert.

Beamtenstatus: Grüezi aus dem Land ohne Beamte
Unverzichtbar? Von wegen! Die Schweiz leistet sich seit 25 Jahren keine überprivilegierte Beamtenklasse mehr. Trotzdem funktioniert fast alles besser als in Deutschland.Matthias Daum (DIE ZEIT)
Love these door handles on a townhouse on Saint Vincent Street in central Glasgow. The house itself was build in the 1820s, but I think these are Art Nouveau in style and date from refurbishments in the 1890s.

I portuali di Genova hanno impedito - informa una nota - il carico della nave Zim New Zealand "di materiale bellico diretto a Israele, occupando il Terminal Spinelli e proclamando uno sciopero immediato. Attorno alle 22, "si è avuta conferma che la nave stava abbandonando il porto senza aver caricato i container". "A Genova non c'è spazio per i traffici di armi, non c'è spazio per le complicità con il governo genocida di Israele.
Ella sendet Videobotschaft anlässlich der beginnenden Rodungssaison 🌳
2020 wurde Ella brutal aus den Bäumen des besetzten Dannenröder Waldes geräumt, die für den Bau der A49 gefällt werden sollten. Nach 417 Tagen Haft trug Ella während des Prozesses eine Stellungnahme in Form eines Gedichts vor. Fünf Jahre später droht ihr das Gericht nun erneut mit einer Inhaftierung.
Anlässlich der bevorstehenden Rodungssaison hat Ella ihr Gedicht nun als Video aufgenommen. Sie sendet ihre Botschaft vom Hambacher Tagebau, wo noch immer Menschen für die Rettung der verbliebenen Wälder kämpfen. Der benachbarte Waldbesetzung im Sündi droht bereits in den kommenden Wochen die Räumung und die Rodung der letzten Bäume.
Ella @ImprisonmentisforBurning teilt ihre Geschichte, um "das Trauma von #Ökozid und Unterdrückung zu verarbeiten und auch, um für die Toten zu beten und mit aller Kraft für die Lebenden zu kämpfen! Diese Welt ist, was wir daraus machen."

Ja, schön. Und wer popelt die Videos da jetzt raus, damit sie auch überwachungsfrei angeschaut können, ohne dem #Trump-affinen #META-Konzern haarklein zu flüstern, wer da alles genau auf wessen Empfehlung hin auf welches Video um welche Uhrzeit mit welchem Geräten usw. zugegriffen hat?
Liebes ZPS, ich bin Euer Komplize und liebe Euch für Eure taktische Finessse, aber strategisch reicht EuereBlick leider auch nur bis zum nächsten oder übernächsten News-Cycle, und ihr könnt so nicht "gewinnen".
Sind die zwei, drei Klicks um Euer Footage *auch* ins #Fediverse zu uppen wirklich eine solche Herausforderung?
Ich bin müde. 😔

What's your favorite #OpenStreetMap query tool ? I'm looking for the closest recycling box for batteries, while walking in the street, and wonder what to use for that.
Tried #CoMaps and seemed effective but:
1. I had to find out how those things are tagged (a good tool might help you with this), 2. It found boxes 100km away from me (letting me set a distance limit would have been helpful)
@cantences #osmand installed, first impression: it fails figuring out where I am.
It looks like it tried to guess based on IP address, missing by about 600km. It didn't prompt me to grant permission to read location from the operating system "location service, although the welcome screen has text asking me to "let" it determine my location (how?)
If OsmAnd is not using your real location but is instead guessing from your IP, it usually means the app lacks permission to access your device's GPS location. OsmAnd should prompt you to allow location access at first use, but if it didn’t, you can manually enable it in your phone’s settings under Apps > OsmAnd > Permissions > Location, setting it to "Allow all the time" or "While using the app."
Forderung nach Einsatz früherer NVA-Soldaten als Bundeswehr-Reservisten
CDU-Fraktionsvize Müller will ehemalige Soldaten der Nationalen Volksarmee der DDR als Reservisten im Heimatschutz einsetzen. Ins Spiel gebracht hatte die Idee vor wenigen Tagen der Linken-Politiker Bartsch.
Das ist doch eher ein Thema für die #heuteshow als für #Nachrichten.
Der nächste #CDU #Politiker der mir auf der Tasche liegt, und ohne nachzudenken irgendwas blubbert. An Peinlichkeit nicht zu überbieten diese Partei.

The Israel-Premier Tech cycling team has been excluded from Italy’s upcoming Giro dell’Emilia competition.
The decision announced on Saturday comes after the recent Vuelta a Espana cycling race suffered several disruptions by pro-Palestinian protesters who took to the streets of the Spanish capital, Madrid, to block the participation of Israel-Premier Tech, forcing the cancellation of the race’s final stage.
