somehow I have a really bad feeling about de-regulation coming from the German conservative party to hand out lots of money. #vonderleyen #mckinsey #spahn
Israeli companies and universities are involved in hundreds of research projects funded by the European Union. Left-wing politicians and NGOs fear that European money could help enhance Israel's military capabilities.
Researchers at Harvard Business School and University of Toronto used unique data to quantify the value of open source.
Takeways:
* Supply-side (cost to recreate) is ~$4.15B, but demand-side (value to firms) is $8.8T. Shows massive cost savings & productivity boost from OSS.
* If OSS didn't exist, firms would need to spend an estimated 3.5 times more on software than they currently do. OSS provides a massive, often invisible, productivity boost.
* A tiny fraction of OSS developers create the vast majority of value. Only 5% of developers are responsible for over 96% of the demand-side value
* Firms should not just "free ride" on OSS but actively contribute to the ecosystem, as this is far cheaper than recreating the software themselves.
are there any real alternatives to discord? i want to make a discord for my minecraft server but i know a lot of people don't like discord. im not sure what else to use, though. definitely not matrix or signal.
I am giving a conference talk soon and I would like to lead with a joke or two. But I cannot come up with any (besides a lame "well actually it is called ActivityPub/Mastodon"). Do you have a favorite fediverse joke?

Your reminder that the tipped minimum wage is $2.13 /hr, and has been since 1991. When employers refuse to pay a living wage, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets. Those aren’t handouts to workers. They’re handouts to companies.
The European Commission is investigating a series of unusual flights from Minsk to Benghazi in Libya, fearing that Russia could be behind a new wave of illegal migration to Southern Europe, the Euractiv portal writes.
I'm Joe in the UK, I've been in touch with Aseel from the Sehwel family for over a year now and have been following their difficult struggle to afford medication, shelter and food in Gaza.
The job market in 2025 has been incredibly discouraging for millions of workers. Layoffs continue to hit major industries hard, from technology and manufactu...
Please help Aseel and her family eat this week if you can.
(I have spoken with and am in touch with Aseel over Signal and I can vouch that the account and campaign are real and your donations go to a family in need in Gaza.)
Every Tuesday, we ask for your help to feed my family for a full week.
With the sharp rise in prices, even providing food has become a daily struggle.
We need $500 each week to feed my family of 6.
i never started putting much effort into decorating my flat since i moved here because it was already furnitured with super ugly and basic stuff that i wasn't allowed to remove and it's super expensive here which made me want to move away asap anyway. but now that i have a realistic chance of getting a rental contract for the same flat with half the price and the furniture loophole removed, that isn't a blocker anymore. i'm so excited to get started once i have money!! i have sooo many ideas:

The last Parliament featured debate over several contentious Internet-related bills, notably streaming and news laws (Bills C-11 and C-18), online harms (Bill C-63) and Internet age verification and website blocking (Bill S-210).
An Israeli official told the 'Post' that Netanyahu will convene a meeting on Gaza and a hostage deal, noting that "the prime minister is considering all available options regarding next steps.
Every time I see a post from an account I don't follow on the "default" Facebook timeline with an obviously A.I. generated poster for fake movies coming up, or any post with a photo of a celebrity in an obviously faked photo, I block that profile. It's amazing how many people comment thinking the post is real. Fake news is part of the reason we are in the mess we're in today. Lots of folks can't logically think for themselves anymore, they believe ANYTHING put in front of them automatically. A.I. still has a slightly "plastic" look with images. If you look close enough, you can see it. Then again, most people are looking on their tiny phone screens. Most of my viewing is on a 27" desktop monitor.
Well, well, well. The “age assurance” part of the UK’s Online Safety Act has finally gone into effect, with its age checking requirements kicking in a week and a half ago. And what do you kno…
...and what court has decided that it's a genocide? Isn't it a legal term that can only be used if the goal post we keep moving is reached?
Not to draw away attention from the Sudan genocide amidst a brutal civil war, I just think it's adequate to point out how easy it is to name the perpetrator, victim, and the action of genocide by its name when Israel isn't involved.

The vanguard of teen shepherds occupying more of the West Bank By Eric Tlozek
In the Jordan Valley in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, teenage shepherds escorted by armed security guards are trying to push Palestinian villagers from their farms.
These Jupiter guys are great at making Picross/pixel puzzle games and it shows. They automatically crossed off the middle "1" of the 1-1-3 row because I could know, with this arrangement of Xs, that had to be the middle 1 because the chunk of blocks to the right of it HAD to be part of the 3 and ther was no room for this block to be anything but the middle 1 and not the first 1.
See, I actually dislike this a lot, because while it should be poking fun at far right chuds, it just generalizes to straight men on the internet instead.
Congrats to the author, the only thing this has done is fuel the gender divide and turned a few more young men to far right politics, and this is the sort of thing used as proof to make them feel under attack as straight men.
If insecure people are pushed to the far right because of this, I'm not sure it's the comic that's at fault. You're asking everyone to walk on egg shells so we don't hurt people's feelings and I just don't think that's realistic. It's not too much to ask for people to not be shitty.
If you are told all day that you are under attack, then go onto a supposedly more tolerant space and what you see if people attacking you, then it's naïve to think it will not affect you.
This is just a massive own goal, and is entirely avoidable by targeting the right butt of the joke, rather than aiming large, having collateral damage and saying "you're only offended if you feel targeted". That's not fighting the good fight, that's just being a hateful shithead on the internet.
Straight men are the least targeted group. If any of them feel targeted, it's because they are exactly the type of guy in the comic. I say this as a straight guy. Compared to my queer and women friends, I'm cruising through life. I might catch the occasional stray from a comic while they have to fear legislation limiting their rights.
My best friend of 15 years is the guy in this comic. I tried for years give him another perspective and keep him from going far right but it didn't work and now I've completely cut him off. I have no sympathy for somebody who is self victimizing. The actual victim is not the one that needs to change their behavior to protect the fragility of the wannabe victim.
By all means, keep scoring massive own goals and wondering why more and more young men and turning to the far right.
"Here, let me describe you. If you feel targeted, it's that you are the irredeemable scum this comic describes"
Meanwhile, the comic describes men on the internet.
Super easy fix to the comic: add political leaning to the description. Literally one word to make fun of the people who need to be made fun of. Meanwhile, everyone here is bending over backwards to explain how collateral damage is perfectly fine, and isn't totally playing into the alt right's pipeline in the most avoidable way ever.
My point is that your strategy wouldn't work to relieve the tension. The alt right influencers and propagandists are manufacturing outrage. The feeling of being targeted is made up. It doesn't matter if anybody plays into it. Insecure young men feel that way regardless of what anybody on the left will say. It's a natural consequence of a patriarchal, atomized society where everyone is told that they're supposed to conform to gender ideals while being socially isolated.
