First to vote at the village hall #virtuesignalling

Virtue Signalling seems a good term for "good" people who say their #truth but never help #debate or #explain it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling

#1way posts hold quite an ineffective position as it's not deeper #communication or deeper #2way "understanding".

Almost non-participatory distance / echoes/ #nonplayers.

At least the bad #Trump etc give their bullshit reasoning.

Many good guys / #victims don't want to explain the logic.

A colleague shared a post today that inspired this, let's say, 'response'. Do #LLMs ruin everything?

This is always in the back of my head anyway, so it wasn't particularly difficult to write a #blog post and ask #NotebookLM to summarise it for a #podcast.

@scribblanitea @RolloTreadway Will the occasional #gammaRay escape do the #virtueSignalling part?

The mom pushing the baby carriage, and the grandmother with her I presume, were happily surprised that I clearly stepped in the puddle of water so they could pass me.

#virtuesignalling my goodness.

Although, it's less a feat when you factor in that:

1. My boots are waterproof and winter ready.
2. I avoid picturing my own mother slapping me across the head and telling me she raised me better than that.

Doing myself the favour, really.

Got This Prompt From LinkedIn That 'My' Shared Spatial/GIS Roles Newsletter Subscriber Count Popped Over 11K

I have a (free) subscribable, weekly list of spatial/GIS roles & resources that I ‘encounter’, *mostly* North America but global also...
I am NOT looking for any validation, certainly NOT #virtuesignalling - but it is nice to see that compiling these weekly lists seems to be of some use to people 🙃

Note that I am not associated with recruiting or HR in any way, so NO commissions or the like - just a community service if you will ☺️

"At least we're doing something!"

Nothing useful, and definitely nothing that would displease the billionaires, but it's something.

Nein, #Bluesky ist _nicht_ am Ende. Die Erwartung, eine grosse Online-Plattform könne, ja solle die amerikanische Regierung von der Nutzung ausschliessen, ist für mich einigermassen rätselhaft. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PeN... (Und dafür YouTube nutzen … 🤦🏻‍♂️) #LinkBait #VirtueSignalling
