BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of #ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

There's an ever growing list of tool initialization copypasta in my shell startup file stating "# this must be at the end of your startup file for $tool to work!!1one".

I keep those comments in for increasing comedic value.

Roaming ohne IPv6

Ich gebe hiermit meinen Unmut kund, dass das Datenroaming (IPv6) bei Vodafone einfach eine Zumutung ist. Was bei den Wettbewerben Telekom und Telefonica keinerlei Problem darstellt, ist bei Vodafone Glückssache, heute war wieder mal Pech dran.  

Es gibt Trends, die keiner braucht:
Der "Skinny"-Trend is back, angefeuert durch Social Media.
Jede dritte Frau zeigt sich nicht oder nur ungern am Strand.

Wir sollten uns ein Beispiel an den nigeranischen Frauen nehmen, die Umfragen zufolge am selbstbewusstesten mit ihrem Körper umgehen & weniger empfänglich für "Body-Propaganda" sind.

Oder an den Männern! Und immer, wenn ihr, liebe Mädels, am Strand mit eurer Figur hadert, denkt ihr ab jetzt an diesen Cartoon von Mario Lars:

Our current trajectory of resource consumption is slow suicide. Why would we reach this far to obtain uranium? To power data centers and A.I.? To continue stockpiling weapons as a threat to anyone challenging #capitalism or US hegemony?
This story of remote #Alaska mining, on the heels of Trump opening more arctic land to oil exploitation, makes my heart heavy. #Environment

A national quest for uranium comes to remote Western Alaska, raising fears in a nearby village

Demand for low-carbon nuclear energy could boost uranium prospects on Alaska’s Seward Peninsula. But residents of the small village of Elim fear a mine would pollute the river they depend on.

Vor zehn Jahren verkündete Donald Trump bei einem spektakulären Auftritt, dass er US-Präsident werden will. Die meisten Medien schenkten ihm viel Aufmerksamkeit, gaben ihm aber kaum eine Chance, überhaupt nominiert zu werden. Ein Rückblick von @niggi (€): https://uebermedien.de/106773/ins-weisse-haus-wird-er-nicht-einziehen/
„Ins Weiße Haus wird er nicht einziehen“: Wie Medien Trumps Kandidatur belächelten

Vor zehn Jahren gab Donald Trump bekannt, dass er US-Präsident werden will. Die Medien schenkten ihm viel Aufmerksamkeit, aber nahmen ihn nicht ernst. Über einen kollektiven Irrtum.

Dank geht raus!

Don't blame people. Don't blame the whole world. Blame those who actually deserve it.

Blame the leaders of business and government in the world's richest nations. They are the ones actively destroying our climate and environment.

Four wealthy nations — the United States, Canada, Norway, and Australia — account for the majority of planned oil and gas expansion over the next decade, according to new data published by Oil Change International.

The analysis, titled 'Planet Wreckers', notes that if those four Global North nations stopped their planned oil and gas extraction, 32 billion tons of carbon pollution would stay in the ground instead of being burned and released into the atmosphere where they fuel planetary heating. That's the equivalent of three times the annual global emissions created by burning coal.

"A handful of the world's richest nations remain intent on leading us into disaster. This is not just hypocrisy. It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis," Oil Change International's Romain Ioualalen said in a statement.

"It is sickening that countries with the highest incomes and outsized historical responsibility for causing the climate crisis are planning massive oil and gas expansion with no regard for the lives and livelihoods at stake," Ioualalen added.

Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

#Russia is exploiting the coal-rich Ukrainian areas it occupies.

Through interviews and #OSINT research we investigated how Russia exports stolen #coal to Turkey, the abuse of miners and the Russian take over of the mines.
