Im Steuergelder verballern scheint Jens Spahn besonders gut zu sein: 3,1 Mrd. € hat er während seiner Zeit als Gesundheitsminister rausgehauen – völlig sinnlos sagt jetzt der Bundesrechungshof. Wir leaken den Bericht und starten ganz offiziell in die Jens-Spahn-Mottowoche: https://fragdenstaat.de/artikel/spahn-brh/
Bundesrechnungshof: Spahn verpulvert Milliarden

Planlos, unwirtschaftlich, ohne nachhaltige Wirkung: Der Bundesrechnungshof kritisiert Spahns Gesundheitspolitik massiv. Wir veröffentlichen den Bericht.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

Edit/update: THANK YOU for all the people who volunteered to have their avatar show up in the last shot. There were 750+ submissions and only 135 spots - sorry I couldn't include everyone 🥲

Since I first shared this link on Friday, the amount raised has shot up by more than € 6000, not taking credit for that but well done #fediverse
If we get to the €35000 target this week, I promise to post a couple of new #Greenland #science vids on my @tilvids channel. @icesheets_climate
Who else is in? 8 days to go.

https://fediscience.org/@Ruth_Mottram/114641673922538397 - Apropos @peertube the french developer collective @Framasoft are currently trying to raise the (for #bigTech derisory) amount of EUR 75,000 to develop the opensource #fediverse competitor app to Youtube. Maybe chuck 'em a few euros if you think it useful?

HONEST QUESTION:

Do undergraduates using ChatGPT on every single essay think they won’t need any skills ChatGPT can’t provide?

SECOND QUESTION:

Why would an employer hire someone to do work that ChatGPT could easily do?

You NEED to learn abilities to maneuver beyond the easy.

Denkt dran: Es läuft von Rechts eine großangelegte Kampagne gegen die Zivilgesellschaft. Jeder Skandal, ob erfunden oder aufgebauscht, dient dazu, sie finanziell auszutrocknen. Hinter Rechten stecken mächtige Konzerne & Milliardäre. Ihren Gegnern den Geldhahn abdrehen ist der Weg zur Machtergreifung
Interne Masken-Ermittlung belastet Jens #Spahn, berichtet die FAZ. Der bei der Beschaffung von Corona-Masken entstandene Schaden für Steuerzahler:innen liegt vermutlich viel höher als angenommen. Spahn, heute Unionsfraktionschef, wollte sich nicht äußern.

Jens Spahn: Interner Bericht zu Corona-Masken belastet Politiker

Der Schaden durch überteuert gekaufte Corona-Masken summiert sich auf 623 Millionen Euro – das sind 156 Millionen Euro mehr als bislang bekannt. Der interne Bericht einer Sonderermittlerin enthält einen weiteren schweren Verdacht.

Die Antwort auf die Wahl zwischen einem Feiertag weniger und noch mehr Arbeiten lautet:

Tax the rich!

Lehnt diese Bullshit-Fragestellung ab! Es ist ein Manöver zur Ablenkung von der Notwendigkeit einer Vermögens- & Erbschaftssteuer.
