French President Macron offers blunt advice publicly to US President Trump: “You have to be serious. When you want to be serious, you don't say the opposite every day of what you said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn't talk every day.” https://www.france24.com/en/macron-says-unrealistic-open-hormuz-strait-force-urges-trump-be-serious

Macron says 'unrealistic' to open Hormuz Strait by force, urges Trump to 'be serious'

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said it would be unrealistic to launch a military operation to force open the Strait of Hormuz after US President Donald Trump challenged allies to work towards reopening it. In unusually strong criticism, Macron accused Trump of constantly contradicting himself on the Iran war and of undermining faith in the NATO military alliance.

@yacc143 I think Selenskij is fighting for bis country linke a lion. And Putin as you say asks things the Ukraine can never give to the russians, and ofc he does so with the purpose of being able to point a finger and say "See, I wa so Kind and they just don't want to negotiate".
Noone ever believes him, but that's how he always acts.

Paint me so surprised.

ChatGPT the market leader in being a bad AI product.

And yet it's what people tend to use if they want to try out if "can AI solve this problem?"

#USA: Auch New Yorker Stadtrat plant ein Gesetz zur #Direktanstellung in der „letzten Meile“: #Amazon vergibt für Gegenkampagne 1.000 Dollar an FahrerInnen, die erzählen, warum sie ihren Job lieben https://www.labournet.de/?p=123831

Ohne DHL, Hermes oder lästige Festangestellte: Amazon Flex international » LabourNet Germany

Dossier "Mit Amazon Flex will sich der E-Commerce-Riese ein Stück weit unabhängiger von seinen Logistikpartnern machen. Die Lieferboten sind nicht festangestellt, sondern arbeiten auf eigene Rechnung. (...) „Sie sind Ihr eigener Chef, legen Ihren eigenen Plan fest und haben mehr Zeit, Ihre Ziele und Träume zu verfolgen“, mit diesen Worten preist Amazon das Flex-Angebot gegenüber potenziellen Lieferboten an. Die sollten sich indes im Klaren darüber sein, dass sie neben Steuern und Abgaben auch die Benzin-, Wartungs- und Versicherungskosten für ihren Wagen aus den Gewinnen bezahlen müssen. Mit dem Vorstoß könnte Amazon langfristig auch seine Logistikpartner und damit auch indirekt deren Kurierfahrer unter Druck setzen. Die arbeiten schon heute bisweilen unter prekären Bedingungen. Eine Uberisierung von Lieferfahrten dürfte diese Entwicklung kaum ins Positive verkehren."

@yacc143 Depends on the border. Irun-Hendaye and Cerbere-Port Bou is still get out of one train and into the other. But there is a new high speed line Perpignan - Barcelona, no changes needed, but it has only 4 or 5 trains a day on it each way as railways can't be arsed to do better. @NiklasMM @corentin

Every nation should treat billionaires like a natural resource and mine them of their riches until exhausted, just like a nice thick seam of coal or a reservoir of oil, then make the spoils available to the nation's citizens. If they crop up again, mine them again.
