One of my favourite memories from the last Iceland trip is from the night we drove back from the puffin rock to our accommodation. As we reached the height of the mountain, suddenly we found ourselves driving above the clouds. It was magical. Iceland is magical.

7 July 1923 | Belgian Jewish woman, Rachel Romacki, was born in Etterbeek.

She was deported to Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen on 31 July 1943. She did not survive.

I've been raising the caterpillars we find in our yard, using only milkweed grown in a tiny spot, for several years now. Last year I released 18, this year I'm already ahead of that number. We also have swallowtails after the gardener added golden alexander

πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Hey queer folx in Germany! πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

I have a queer friend who's fleeing the US to your lovely country. She's hella cool, but she doesn't know anyone there yet πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ

I told her I'd pass on the Discord info (sadly, she's not on Mastodon) of any of my community here if they wanted an introduction πŸ’ž

Did I mention she's awesome? 

Edit: she's moving to Munich, ΓΆbersendling.

Lasagna for dinner, and wife decided she didn't want carbs, so she's eaten everything except the pasta.

It lies there, bereft of life, like it's been drained by some bolognese vampire.

Nosferagu.

Despite measles being declared eliminated in the US in 2000, annual measles cases have reached a 33-year high β€” and it's only July.

This is the tragic result of the spread of anti-vax disinformation, and will only get worse in the coming years because anti-vaxxers now lead our health agencies.

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.
You would think that ICE showing up in combat armor with a truck mounted machine gun to "arrest" (kidnap) little old ladies and child cancer patients would finally drill it into Americans' heads that immigrants are not dangerous and the only heavily militarized, ultra-violent gang in this country are cops.

@marcel Seems so... 🀦🏽
@marcel they know what they want: cut costs

@edgeofeurope
Under any of the usual names, such as "increasing efficiency".

But often, they don't know how to get there, so they hope that a random Buzzword Of The Day will cast its magic. Somehow.

@marcel The truth, unfortunately. I suffer from the increasing pressure of having to use AI.
@marcel This is not true for all CEOs, please stop stereotyping.

@thedarkener @marcel So, uh, does this mean that "Not All CEOs" is the new "Not All Men"?

Because I think that might be a perfect fit:

A few good apples don't purify the barrel.

@kboyd Agreed. But as CEO of a small Social Purpose Corporation startup, I just don't like the generalization.
@thedarkener I suppose that's fair - but is it a true startup, clamouring for funding from any and all sources, or is more apt to describe it as a new business with a clear & working roadmap for stability and sustainability?

@kboyd You can decide for yourself (hint: it's the latter, until it's forced to become the former. Hopefully that'll never be the case)

@marcel people think ai will reduce overhead which people forever cannot model out as appropriate to revenue
@marcel
That is so funny!
(and true)
@marcel
Best thing I've seen all day!
@marcel You could replace ”AI” with buzzword, and this would accurate describe CEOs of all times.. πŸ™‚

@kubikpixel @marcel We’re so damn lucky every single company is on the cutting edge of AI research and will revolutionise the way we live forever, be they producing toothpaste or meaningless B&B ”productivity” software. Every single one of them.
@marcel , πŸ˜€πŸ‘Œ oh true…..

@marcel Because the investors want it, so that's what the CEO wants like right fucking now. It doesn't even matter why to them. "People will give us money for it and they won't if we don't."

Who's got all the money? AI techbros. Do the math :p

@marcel
Step 1: invest everything into AI.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: profit
@jocarren
Excellent advice. 😎 Will ask AI to fill in the question marks. 🫣
@marcel I read that second line as "what do we want? All!" And that already tracked enough
@marcel bonne fin du monde aux CEO et aux utilisateurs d’IAπŸ™πŸŒ

@marcel In keeping with the original use of this meme image:

CEOs: AI ALL THE THINGS!!!1one

@marcel - can't help but think the third right hand box should be "blockchain in the cloud or something that raises share price"
@DaveHowe
I actually would prefer the "AI blockchain metaverse in the cloud" or so. Much bigger chance of line goes up!
@marcel - that's your choice, but I would suggest the "raises share price" bit is key :D
@DaveHowe
Ah, but that's a very low bar. To reach this goal, as a tech bro today, you can tell almost tell any lie (aka "promise" aka "prediction" aka whatever suits you) and your share price will raise.
@marcel - indeed, but it IS a CEO we are talking about here; they don't know what lies would work :D
