It is kind of interesting how common it is for media to portray the psyche as a bunch of different aspects arguing among themselves, taking turns piloting the body and having various degrees of influence. Like, even if neither the character nor the authors are plural in any way, it shows up all over.

This is a promotional poster with a primarily red and white color scheme, designed to advertise a job fair event hosted by Wolt. The poster features bold typography and several small circular logos at the bottom. The overall layout is energetic and aims to grab attention.
Here's a breakdown of the text:
Top: "ΤΗΝ ΩΡΑ ΠΟΥ ΚΕΡΔΙΖΕΙ ΕΚΑΤΟΜΜΥΡΙΑ"
"Η [@]efood μας ρίχνει συνέχεια τις αμοιβές"
"μας αντικαθιστά με όποιον μας δεν πληρώνουν σύλληψης"
"ΦΤΑΝΕΙ ΠΙΑ!"
Center: "ΒΑΙΝΟΥΜΕ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΝΤΕΠΙΘΕΣΗ ΤΑ ΘΕΛΟΥΜΕ ΟΛΑ ΠΙΣΩ!"
"σύλληψης για όλες τις ειδικότητες με αυξήσεις στους μισθούς"
"ελάχιστη αμοιβή ανά ώρα • αύξηση αμοιβών • κάλυψη ατυχήματος"
"έξω οι εργολάβοι – απευθείας προσλήψεις στην εταιρεία"
Bottom: "28 & 29 ΝΟΕΜΒΡΙΟΥ 18:00-23:00 ΣΤΑΣΕΙΣ ΕΡΓΑΣΙΑΣ της Wolt"
The poster also includes four circular logos: a stylized person with a backpack labeled "efood ΠΛΑΤΦΟΡΜΑ", a stylized person with a helmet labeled "efood ΠΡΟΣΧΕΙΣΕ", a stylized hand with a tool labeled "efood ΜΕΣΣΗΝΙΑΣ", and an abstract image of a person reaching for a bike labeled "ΣΒΕΔ".

Today’s selection for #30DaysOfChristmasSongs is a song that has been covered by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Pentatonix, 98°, and (ugh) John Legend. However when it comes to songs that get covered by many artists, I like to look for other versions that aren’t as popular, to hear different takes on seasonal favorites.

La musique façonne nos territoires en créant des espaces de rencontre et d’imaginaires partagés, tout en révélant des dynamiques contrastées et des inégalités d’accès. Comment concilier rayonnement culturel et cohésion territoriale ? Ce nouveau recueil du CNMlab analyse comment initiatives, infrastructures et politiques publiques transforment les territoires à toutes les échelles, des festivals aux scènes locales, des villes aux zones rurales et ultramarines.
À travers des enquêtes, plusieurs études de cas et deux entretiens, il éclaire la diversité des expérimentations qui font des territoires de véritables leviers de développement pour l’écosystème musical français. Ensemble, chercheurs, chercheuses, acteurs et actrices de terrain, donnent des clés de lecture pour penser l’avenir des territoires de la musique.
Cet ouvrage a été créé en collaboration avec Sylvia Tournerie, designeuse graphique et directrice artistique ayant notamment travaillé pour les éditions Flammarion, Arte ou encore la Philharmonie de Paris. Par cette nouvelle publication, le CNMlab dépasse la seule mise à disposition de travaux universitaires pour livrer un outil esthétique et technique. Les différentes contributions présentes dans l’ouvrage sont consultables en ligne sur le site du CNMlab.

δίπλα είναι πρόβλημα, στην ταράτσα του σχολείου δεν θα ήταν πρόβλημα. Επίσης δεν θα ήταν πρόβλημα και το δίπλα αν το κράτος υποχρέωνε τους κινητάδες αντί για 10 κεραίες να έχουν 1000 χαμηλής ισχύος.
εξαρτάται την ισχύ. Π.χ. αν είσαι κάτω από 1-2W σε μη ιονίζουσα ακτινοβολία όπως της κινητής, απλά είσαι εμπόδιο, δεν απορροφάς τίποτα... αν είναι 1kw και πάνω που βάζουν για να έχουν κάλυψη με λίγες κεραίες, σε ψήνει. @mrsimoto
@baskin Ε καλά, δε λέμε για τέτοιες μικρές εκπομπές, που και πάλι δεν γνωρίζω τις επιπτώσεις αν ας πούμε δέχεσαι 2W για 29 ώρες την μέρα, κάθε μέρα @mrsimoto
δεν έχει να κάνει με αυτό, τα W τα τρως έτσι κι αλλιώς, οι 5 πόντοι απόσταση με τους 30 δεν έχουν μεγάλη διαφορά... βάλε και 100mw από κάθε wifi συσκευή, οπότε μέσα σε 3-4w είσαι όλη την ώρα. @mrsimoto
ναι ρε συ αλλά μετά από 40 χρόνια και με την τελευταία έρευνα που πήγε σε βάθος 30ετίας, δεν κατάφεραν να βρουν κάτι για τις μη ιονίζουσες ακτινοβολίες σε χαμηλή ισχύ. Οκ μπορείς να μην τρως τα 2W αν είσαι λοξά αλλά και πάλι δεν έχει μεγάλη πτώση η ισχύ. Άλλο ο κλωβός, αν βγεις εκτός κλωβού οκ. Έχεις πάντα προσανατολισμένο το τηλέφωνο έτσι ώστε να είσαι εκτός κλωβού; Με τις αντανακλάσεις από τραπέζια, ντουβάρια κλπ τι γίνεται ξέρεις; @mrsimoto
αυτό που θέλω να πω είναι ότι το "φύλαγμα" με τα ακουστικά είναι σχεδόν μια τρύπα στο νερό με τόσες συσκευές γύρω σου σε συνθήκες όχι εργαστηρίου που να μπορούσες να κάνεις σλάλομ μεταξύ των κλωβών... @mrsimoto
ο κλωβός είναι θεωρητικός σε εργαστηριακό πλαίσιο χωρίς εμπόδια, χωρίς να το κρατάς στο χέρι, χωρίς να είσαι δίπλα σε ντουβάρι, χωρίς να έχεις μια λαμαρίνα από κάτω σου κλπ κλπ κλπ. Προσωπικά και έχοντας master στην Ασύρματη μετάδοση σήματος (μεταξύ άλλων), κρίνω ότι δεν βγάζει κανένα σχεδόν νόημα η πάλη. Τρως 3-4W ακτινοβολίας πλέον όπου και να βρίσκεσαι και χωρίς να έχεις κινητό, από τα κινητά των άλλων, τα wifi κλπ κλπ κλπ @mrsimoto
Strong efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will also have striking beneficial side effects, including more peace and quiet. And that should be music to our ears.

@baskin Ναι και για παράδειγμα όταν κεραία κινητής τοποθετείται σε πολυκατοικία απαιτείται δήλωση συναίνεσης συνιδιοκτητών, αλλά συνήθως γίνεται στα κρυφά @7osNanos @mrsimoto
@7osNanos το πρόβλημα όμως ξεκινάει από το ρυθμιστικό πλαίσιο, θέλεις κύριε να παρέχεις υπηρεσίες κινητής και ασύρματων επικοινωνιών, πληρώνεις να βάλεις κεραίες σε πυκνή διάταξη και με θεσμοθετημένα μικρά όρια. Μετά δεν πα να λέει η κάθε κυριούλα ότι θέλει. @foufoutos @mrsimoto
ντάξει η δήλωση είναι το λιγότερο, ας υποχρέωνε το κράτος να μπουν πολλές κεραίες με χαμηλή ισχύ κι ας έλεγε ότι δεν έχει κανείς δικαίωμα αντίρρησης. @7osNanos @mrsimoto
@baskin Είναι το λιγότερο, αλλά ούτε αυτό δεν τηρούν, ασυδοτούν κι αυτό είναι το κύριο πρόβλημα στην χώρα μας, η ασυδοσία των εταιριών @7osNanos @mrsimoto
An important victory – but we still need to stop Chat Control.
The Council of Ministers in the EU has, after three years, now reached a common position on Chat Control. The requirement for mandatory scanning (including end-to-end encrypted messaging services) has been removed, which is a major victory. The EU Council failed to implement mandatory mass surveillance. However, in its proposal, they are laying the groundwork for mass surveillance in the future.
Κατέληξα στο εξής συμπέρασμα: - Όταν οι αρχές προετοιμάζονται για ακραία καιρικά φαινόμενα, τα φαινόμενα είναι μούφα. - Όταν οι αρχές βεβαιώνουν πως όλα πάνε καλά, καιγόμαστε και πνιγόμαστε
It's an accepted (but wrong) fact that some groups of people are just more technologically adventurous by temperament, and that's why they adopt technologies before the rest of society (think here of pornographers, kids, and terrorists).

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
As I've written before, these groups aren't more (or less) temperamentally inclined to throw themselves into mastering new technologies. Rather, they have more *reason* to do so:
Whenever a new communications technology arrives, it is arriving into a world of *existing* communications technologies, which are, by definition, *easier to use*.
They're easier to use for two reasons: the obvious reason is that you're more likely to be familiar with an existing technology than you are with a new technology. After all, it's literally impossible to be familiar with a technology that has just been invented!
But the *other* reason that existing communications technologies are easier to use is that communication is - again, by definition - something you do with other people.
That means that if you want to use a new communications tool to talk with someone else, it is not sufficient for you to master that technology's use - you must also *convince the other person* you're hoping to reach to master that technology, too.
In economic terms, the "opportunity cost" (the amount of time you lose for doing other things) of mastering a new communications tool isn't limited to your own education, but also to the project of convincing someone else to master that tool, and then showing them how to use it.
If the existing communications technology is working for you, mastering the new tool is mostly cost, with very little upside.
Perhaps *you* are a technophile by temperament and derive intrinsic satisfaction from exploring a new tool, and that's why you do it, but even so, you're going to find yourself in the bind of trying to convince the people you'd like to communicate with to follow your lead.
And if *they're* all being well-served by the existing communications tools, and if they're *not* technophiles, you're asking them to engage in a lot of labor and endure a high opportunity cost for no obvious benefit. It's a hard slog.
But there are many groups of people for whom the existing technology does *not* work, and one of the biggest ways an existing technology can fail is if the authorities are using it to suppress your communications and/or spy on your usage in order to frustrate your goals.
This brings us back to sex workers, kids and terrorists. All three groups are typically poorly served by the existing communications technology.
If you're a pornographer in the age of celluloid film, you either have to convince your customers to visit (and risk being seen entering) an adult movie theater, or you have to convince them to buy an 8mm projector and mail order your reels (and risk being caught having them delivered).
No wonder pornographers and sex workers embraced the VCR! No wonder they embraced the internet!
No wonder they embraced cryptocurrency (if your bank accounts are liable to being frozen and/or seized, it's worth figuring out how to use an esoteric payment method and endure the risk of its volatility and technological uncertainty). Today, sex workers and their customers are doubtless mastering VPNs (to evade anonymity-stripping "age verification" systems) and Tor hidden services (to evade "online safety" laws).
The alternative to using these systems isn't the status quo - making use of existing websites, existing payment methods, existing connection tools. The alternative is *nothing*. So it's worth learning to use these new tools, and to engage in the social labor of convincing others to join you in using them.
Then there's kids. Unlike sex workers, kids' communications aren't broadly at risk of being suppressed so much as they are at risk of being observed by authority figures with whom they have an adversarial relationship.
When you're a kid, you want to talk about things without your parents, teachers, principals, or (some of) your peers or siblings listening in.
You want to *plan* things without these people listening in, because they might try and stop you from doing them, or punish you if you succeed.
So again, it's worth figuring out how to use new technologies, because the existing ones are riddled with censorship and surveillance back-doors ("parental controls") that can be deployed to observe your communications, interdict your actions, and punish you for the things that you manage to pull off.
So of course kids are also "early adopters" - but not because being a kid makes you a technophile. Many kids are technophiles and many are not, but whether or not a kid finds mastering a new technology intrinsically satisfying, they will likely have to do so, if they want to communicate with their peers.
For terrorists, the case for mastering new technologies combines the sex-workers' cases and kids' cases: terrorists' communications are both illegal and societally unacceptable (like sexual content) and terrorists operate in an environment in which entities far more powerful than them seek to observe and interdict their plans, and punish them after the fact for their actions (like kids).
So once again, terrorists are apt to master new communications technologies, but not because seeking to influence political outcomes by acts of violence against civilian populations is somehow tied to deriving intrinsic satisfaction from mastering new technologies, but rather because the existing technologies are dangerously unsuitable for your needs.
Note that just because being in one of these groups doesn't automatically *make you* a technophile, it doesn't mean that there are no technophiles among these groups. Some people are into tech *and* the sex industry. Some kids *love* mastering new technologies. Doubtless this is true of some terrorists, too.
I haven't seen any evidence that being a kid, or a terrorist, or a sex-worker, makes you any less (or any more) interested in technology than anyone else.
Some of us just love this stuff for its own sake. Other people just want a tool that works so they can get on with their lives. That's true of every group of people.
The difference is that if you're a technophile *in a group of people* who have a damned good reason to endure the opportunity cost of mastering a new technology, you have a much more receptive audience for your overheated exhortations to try this amazing new cool thing you've discovered.
What's more, there are some situational and second-order effects that come into play as a result of these dynamics. For example, kids are famously "cash-poor and time-rich" which means that spending them time to figure out new technologies when they're still in stage one of enshittification (when they deliver a lot of value at their lowest cost, often free) is absolutely worth it.
Likewise, the fact that sex-workers are often the first commercial users of a new communications technology means that there's something especially ugly about the fact that these services jettison sex workers the instant they get leaned on by official prudes. The story of the internet is the story of businesses who owe their commercial existence to sex workers, who have since rejected them and written them out of their official history.
It also means that technophiles who aren't kids, pornographers or terrorists are more likely to find themselves in techno-social spaces that have higher-than-average cohorts of all three groups. This means that bright young technologists can find themselves being treated as peers by accomplished adults (think of Aaron Swartz attending W3C meetings as a pre-teen after being welcomed as a peer in web standardization online forums).
It also means that technophiles are more likely than the average person to have accidentally clicked on a terrorist atrocity video. And it means that pornographers and sex-workers are more likely to be exposed to technologically adventurous people in purely social, non-sexual online interactions.
Because sex-workers are among the first arrivals in new technological spaces, when they are still mostly esoteric, high-tech realms, which means that even among the less technophilic members of that group, there's probably an above-average degree of familiarity with things that are still way ahead of the tech mainstream.
My point is that we should understand that the adoption of technology by disfavored, at risk, or prohibited groups is driven by material factors, not by some hidden ideological link between sex and tech, or youth and tech, or terrorism at tech.
As a young person I just thought it was cool that you could use a 8 bit micro to get a TV to display something other than a TV show. I didn't own one for many years and my friendship group was mostly those who already owned a micro or ambitious lay in that direction. So it's quite good to get a reality check as to the other reasons tech gets adopted.
Hello and good meowing everyone! 
Have a most wonderful day and stay safe ♥️😸
