Merci 🇫🇷, obrigado 🇵🇹!

#EUSolidarity means standing together when it matters most.

After Spain activated the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism in response to devastating floods, Portugal and France swiftly stepped in to help.

🤝 Over 150 team members and 60 vehicles joined forces with Spanish authorities, working tirelessly to clear streets of debris, pump out water and mud, remove vehicles, and transport rubble.

When we work together, we are stronger.

A large assembly of rescue teams and emergency responders lined up for a group photo. The teams are wearing uniforms of various colors, representing different organizations and nations. Flags of Spain, Portugal, and the European Union are displayed prominently. Emergency vehicles, including trucks and ambulances, are parked in the background
A civil protection worker in a blue European Union Civil Protection shirt observes a construction vehicle clearing debris. A firefighter operates the muddy excavator, and another person in black attire stands next to the observer, all engaged in post-disaster recovery.

Go ahead and deploy a new version of Cisco Anyconnect VPN with a new icon color and ask yourselves why I phone corporate support to ask if that's legit.

I hope all > 50,000 of your employees do that as well!

Una pregunta que se me ocurre para quien sepa de metodología de encuestas o demografía:

Teniendo en cuenta que sabemos que la opinión política, salvo en el caso de activistas, es mutable y débilmente sostenida (aunque sea extrema) ¿hasta que punto preguntar por un tema en una encuesta le va a dar una saliencia que cambie la posición del encuestado?

Ejemplo práctico: si preguntamos a una población objetivo por los problemas que más les preocupan, y metemos la inmigración en la lista, ¿estamos sólo midiendo, o también induciendo a esa preocupación?

Referencia sobre la mutabilidad de opiniones políticas, incluso extremas: psycnet.apa.org/buy/2018-42340…

Ooh I always hated that thing as a child. Even today many find that sound calming I do not.

Zážitek s tříválcem. Náhradní vozidlo Opel Crossland, benzín 81 kW. Při montáži motoru v něm slyšitelně zapomněli plechovku od oleje. Snad se to někde nerozsype... Ale má to cosi jako zátah. A pořádný. Kde se to v té kraksně bere? A spotřeba 5,8 po dálnici + kolona v Praze? To je o 2,5 litru míň než u mého #auta.

Thanks for the mention ❤️ Together we can make the web a better place!

I've just realized that my phone is now over two years old and I don't feel the need to upgrade it. This is perhaps the first time I've ever reached this point in a phone's lifetime without wanting to upgrade and it's a weird feeling for me. I've ALWAYS enjoyed living at the bleeding edge of tech. Maybe it was that I was young and a year was a long time for me and I've gotten older now. I know e-waste (though my phones are always repurposed or donated) and cost are factors.

I was asked this question at an Expo in Melbourne this week, and I’m fine repeating it here: for high school, higher study, and vocation: - Mac OS Voiceover with comparable apps still not comparable to Windows screen readers and apps. Fine for home or general computer tasks.

@CallumStoneman My only reservation with the iPad was that writing documents at length was proving tricky last I looked. If you need to produce a well-formatted report with headings, perhaps a table of contents etc, it was never as slick as with windows. Same for spellchecking.

I'd love to see that has improved, though!

@cachondo @CallumStoneman I'm all for lightweight devices so long as kids get a good education on learning screen readers and using Windows devices as this is what they will encounter in the workplace. I know someone who is blind who wanted to use an iPad for her daily work driver, that isn't going to happen in a corporate setting. She didn't know how to use Windows or office making her essentially unemployable.

Kind of crazy that a 1913 Puck cartoon is almost 100% relevant to day.

I'd just delete the word "reassuring".

An old political cartoon showing a white haired uncle sam character in blue stars jacked and red stripe pants looking away from the viewer at two different fun house mirrors, both labeled "Seeing is believing" Both have men in suits trying to show how good their option is. One is a horizontally bent out mirror for the democratic majority showing a plump well off uncle sam. The other is a vertically bent out mirror for the republican majority showing a gaunt hungry looking uncle sam. The text is Uncle Sam gets a reassuring view of what the new tariff will do to him.

Another always relevant comic for #USPol

We just need to swap out the names of some of the companies so it's now things like microsoft, google, amazon, exxonmobil, at&t, boeing. etc.

An early 1900s cartoon labeled the bosses of the senate. There's a bunch of small men, presumably senators, hunched over small wooden desks. Behind them are a bunch of gigantic overweight men in top hats and black jackets, but their shirt looks like a giant bag of money. Their a labeled things like: Steel beem trust, Copper trust, Standard Oil, Coal. Behind them is a door way labeled entrance for monopolists.

Can we please retire the myth that there is “no engagement” in the Fediverse?

Exhibit A: this badge from #Ivory showing the activity in my account over the past 22 hours — 344 notifications (likes, boosts, follows, replies).

I was on Twitter 1.0 for 14 years, had 4x as many followers on my personal account and never ever had these many interactions. Why?

The damn Big Tech algorithms penalizing my posts whenever I shared links.

I LOVE the Fediverse and its chronological feeds ❤️

I remember exactly the "revelation" in 2020, when I had on Mastodon (account of a few months) half the followers of Twitter (account of 10 years) and yet I had double the interactions and even more reactions...

Commercial social media is a pyramid scheme based on the supposed visibility

Tengo una idea que podría abrir puertas en un área donde, curiosamente, bajo el actual “hype” de la inteligencia artificial, nadie parece estar trabajando de forma directa: entrenar modelos de transcripción de voz a texto en español u otras lenguas minoritarias que funcionen completamente en el navegador, utilizando tecnologías como WebAssembly (WASM).

Retweet with comment: Tom & Lorenzo @tomandlorenzo Just once I'd like to see an article like "Extroverted? Here's Some Tips on How to Be Quiet and Reflective" Quoted tweet: O The Oprah Magazine • 29 Aug Introverted? Here's How to Be More Social trib.al/nWh2uK9

In 1945, the US War Department realized that its soldiers stationed in Europe fighting the Nazis probably needed a good pamphlet explaining what fascism was, and how it occurs ...

... so they wrote one

and in it, they noted that America was not at all immune to this

So they explained how fascism would come to the US

Heather Cox Richardson writes about it in the latest edition of her newsletter: heathercoxrichardson.substack.…

A screenshot reading: The War Department thought it was important for Americans to understand the tactics fascists would use to take power in the United States. They would try to gain power “under the guise of ‘super-patriotism’ and ‘super-Americanism.” And they would use three techniques: First, they would pit religious, racial, and economic groups against one another to break down national unity. Part of that effort to divide and conquer would be a “well- planned ‘hate campaign’ against minority races, religions, and other groups.” Second, they would deny any need for international cooperation, because that would fly in the face of their insistence that their supporters were better than everyone else. “In place of international cooperation, the fascists seek to substitute a perverted sort of ultra-nationalism which tells their people that they are the only people in the world who count. With this goes hatred and suspicion toward the people of all other nations.” Third, fascists would insist that “the world has but two choices—either fascism or communism, and they label as ‘communists’ everyone who refuses to support them.” It is “vitally important” to learn to spot native fascists, the government said, “even though they adopt names and slogans with popular appeal, drape themselves with the American flag, and attempt to carry out their program in the name of the democracy they are trying to destroy.”

October 26, 2024

Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S.
Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)

"And I remember being younger and my mother told me true. Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you. Take heed when things get hard and don't you ever turn around. Cause you’ll find someone, someday, somewhere, that grows you to the clouds."
