Das Deutschlandticket kostet den Staat also "eine ganze Menge Geld", so der Verkehrsminister.
1,5 Milliarden. Also weniger als die Hälfte der Erbschaftssteuer, die eine (!) Oligarchenfamilie aus Versehen gezahlt hat, weil sie ihre Stiftung nicht rechtzeitig fertig hatte. Für den #Straßenverkehr gibt D jährlich 70 Milliarden aus. Also 46 mal so viel.
Wie wieviele von den Abgeordneten, die heute für die Einschränkung des Familiennachzugs gestimmt haben, haben letztes Jahr im Bundestag noch zu „Sei ein Mensch!“ geklatscht?
We have here on Mastodon several amazing candidates for this EU panel about AI...
----------------------- EU Commission seeks experts for AI Scientific Panel
The European Commission is setting up a scientific panel of independent experts to support the implementation and enforcement of the AI Act.
The panel will focus on general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and systems, advising the EU AI Office and national authorities on systemic risks, model classification, evaluation methodologies, and cross-border market surveillance. It will also alert the AI Office of emerging risks.
The Commission looking for 60 members for a renewable 24-month term.
Candidates should have expertise in GPAI models and systems, AI impacts, or related fields, such as model evaluation, risk assessment and mitigations, cybersecurity, emerging systemic risks, and compute measurements and thresholds. Experts must have a PhD or equivalent experience and remain independent of any AI provider.
The selection process will ensure gender balance and representation across EU Member States and EEA/EFTA countries. While *EU citizenship is not a requirement*, 80% of the experts must be from the EU or EFTA Member States.
we need people who bring the climate cost and the human rights impact to the table. Right now, AI is the new Facebook and we'd be wise to acknowledge the harm and cost we install in our lives. Especially with a setup that's hard to undo.

People in Gaza have found dangerous narcotics inside flour bags distributed by the US-Israeli GHF, which Palestinians and national organizations now call “death traps.”
The Government Media Office in Gaza told QNN that the drugs found were Oxycodone, a powerful and addictive opioid. It noted that four citizens have so far confirmed discovering the pills inside flour bags distributed by the US-Israeli GHF so-called aid centers.

@davidallengreen points out that when we think about how international law is faring in the current global political situation, there's a big difference between compliance & enforcement.... while (as Harold Koh famously pointed out) most countries follow international law most of the time, when a state chooses not to (or even to acknowledge its salience) we find ourselves in a world where sovereign self-restraint has (dangerously) evaporated!

ESA Living Planet Symposium concludes today, having brought together more than 6500 people across the Earth observation community. The takeaways include new connections, collaborations, not to mention the revelation of pioneering mission images. As a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s a selection that captures just a few of the many highlights.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Public schools in Maryland must allow parents with religious objections to withdraw their children from classes in which storybooks with L.G.B.T.Q. themes are discussed, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday.
The vote was 6 to 3, with the court’s liberal members in dissent.
The case extended a winning streak for claims of religious freedom at the court, gains that have often come at the expense of other values, notably gay rights.
The case concerned a new curriculum adopted in 2022 for prekindergarten through the fifth grade by the Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland’s largest school system.
The storybooks included “Pride Puppy,” an alphabet primer about a family whose puppy gets lost at a Pride parade; “Love, Violet,” about a girl who develops a crush on her female classmate; “Born Ready,” about a transgender boy; and “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding,” about a same-sex union.
At first, the school system gave parents notice when the storybooks were to be discussed, along with the opportunity to have their children excused. But school administrators soon eliminated the advance notice and opt-out policy, saying it was hard to administer, led to absenteeism and risked “exposing students who believe the storybooks represent them and their families to social stigma and isolation.”
Sealing a million or so people in a ghetto without medical assistance, food, or now even water, then shooting at the young men still brave enough to try to get aid for their families could not be more genocidal.
Israeli soldiers say they are receiving direct orders to shoot unarmed Palestinians seeking food aid at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution points, even when no threat is present, according to several testimonies published by Haaretz on 26 June
One soldier described the area near GHF sites as “a killing field,” where lethal force is routinely used to disperse crowds desperate for food.

I have to tip my hat to Microsoft for having worked so hard to convince the world that the City of Munich failed with their Linux migration.
It's of course just a big fat lie. Munich is since 20+ years growing their Open Source footprint. They are sharing and they are growing their use of open source.
I spent quite some time today at the Digitaltag with the people behind this program, which is backed by several motions from the city council. The City of Munich employs around 100+ software developers with an Open Source First approach. And their people love it. The can work upstream, share without limits. This all happens in the open, because that's policy. Guess why I live here since 20+ years 😀
the CITY employes developers? I presume to help improve the FOSS they use and streamline installation, configuration? or...??
I would _love_ to work in such a culture - civic service but doing computer toucher stuff to enable actual admin people help citizens better/faster? yes pls.
germany's post war legal and policy changes, privacy, anti-hate, education about WWII in schools, transparency in govt, and much else give me some hope that if we can get past the current administration, that we too have a chance for positive and substantive change.
Today's motto for the Digitaltag was "Open Source & Digital Sovereignty" and I had the honour to deliver a 30 minute keynote on that. Because Red Hat and Munich are good friends. And business partners.
Circa 1998, dear thoughtful and always progressive Micro$oft spend ONE BILLION DOLLARS in a fraudulent campaign to put businesses like mine out of business saturating the media with their "Linux vs Windows" ads, both as AdSense and even double page spreads in financial newspapers.
But that's not the real reason I consider them scum.
I am developing a few software, all open source, although not for municipal use-case specifically, however, I am looking for some reviewer and early testers, and of course contributors would be a dream ... any chance you could put me in touch with someone you know? or yourself have a look at a project? a list of more ready-to-use projects are here: schloosser.net/
Hold on a minute. I love the idea of Munich doing "open source" and all that. BUT! (And this is not Microsoft speaking.) The city DID in fact stop using "LiMux" which was what they had been growing and what replaced all the Microsoft shit before they bought their way back in. So it failed in the sense that plenty of people that were using LiMux, free software, and "open source" are today no longer using that but Microsoft shit. It's terrible, it's wrong, but it still DID happen.
Israelis getting creative: "Reports have said that Oxycodone – the controversial drug behind the opioid epidemic in the US – is not only being smuggled in flour bags, but also crushed into powder and mixed into the flour itself" Before Oct 7th, I probably would have dismissed this article as BS. Not now. I now see this as entirely possible.
Well that is what they want. And this is why we should educate people who "blame the jews" to tell them they are wrong. I always explain things in "zionists" terms. Never jews. Always explaining that actually Jewish people are against zionism normally. Etc... Ziomonsters need antisemitism and we should never give them that.

Embassy As evening fell, the day's opression lifted Far peaks came into focus; it had rained. Across wide fields and cultured flowers drifted The conversation of the highly trained.
Two gardeners watched, and priced their shoes; A chauffer waited, reading in the drive For them to finish their exchange of views; It seemed a picture of the private life.
Far off, no matter what good they intended, The armies waited for a fatal error With all the instruments for causing pain.

I can’t remember now what novel it is, but there’s a novel written during the 20th century but set after it where everyone calls the 20th century the “Hell Century.” Seems to fit the data.
In 1989, William Eckhardt studied casualties of conflicts from 1700 to 1987 and found that "the civilian percentage share of war-related deaths remained at about 50% from century to century." He noted the civilian casualty ratio remained consisted despite the fact that number of deaths from wars increased four times faster than the increase in world population, when comparing the 18th century to the 20th century.

@MadhatterMatador no, it was just a blood test. I haven't talked to my doctor about it. I requested it because people in super chats kept bugging me to get my levels checked
that SHBG number is astronomically high and you gotta bring it down if you want your body to bind all that T to your tissues. Don’t know why your numbers are like that but there’s something more going on there.
I had similar numbers to yours a few years ago. Total T was high, SHGB was high but my FREE T was on the lower side and according to my doctor the FREE T number is more important than your Total T because it’s the form of T that your body actually USES, as I understood it. SHGB is a protein that keeps T bound in the blood so the higher presence of that in your body, the less effective your body can utilize T. It’s an inverse relationship. You just gotta find what’s striking this
imbalance. For me it was high cortisol but the cause might be different you. Best to figure this out with a doctor, I suppose! But I feel like I’m my mid 20s now…
oh JFC I just realized i didn’t even answer your answer in that giant diatribe. Besides medical intervention there’s a supplement called “Boron” you can buy which supposedly lowers the SHBG and frees up that testosterone. There’s other stuff too but that’s the main thing people recommend for this issue. Maybe experiment with that until you find a new doctor…
too much testosterone AKA too alpha? LOL you mogged the dr and he jelly. But fr for a man in his 40s that's impressive, you must have been some kind of supersoldier looking dude in your 20s.
1️⃣🔥 Pedro Sánchez, entre dos caminos: — Plantar cara a Trump — Plantar cara a Israel Y en ambos casos, puede convertirse en referencia… …o decepcionar estrepitosamente.
5️⃣ Pero para que esta postura valga algo, no puede quedarse en palabras. Si Sánchez quiere ser referente, debe hacer lo que realmente está en su mano:
🚫 Embargar la venta de armas a Israel ✂️ Cancelar contratos con empresas militares israelíes 🏛 Apoyar activamente a la Corte Penal Internacional
4️⃣ La respuesta de Sánchez ha sido contundente: 📢 “Lo que ocurre en Gaza y Cisjordania es un infierno a cielo abierto” 📢 “No tiene sentido que Europa sancione a Rusia y no suspenda ni un acuerdo con Israel”
6️⃣ ¿Y con Trump? No basta con sonreír en la OTAN y poner cara de europeo. España debe desobedecer la lógica imperial que impone Trump: — Rechazar el rearme — No ceder al chantaje comercial — No convertirnos en colonia energética de EE.UU.
7️⃣ Sánchez ha abierto la puerta. Pero si no se atreve a cruzarla, será otra decepción más. El momento es ahora. Porque no hay neutralidad posible ante el genocidio.

What "ideology"? And I would never touch any project or distribution that tried to control what packages or functionality existed based off "ideological" disagreements.
It's all kinda dumb. I use both X11 and Wayland. Both work fine. I mostly use Wayland but I otherwise don't really care. Still don't want people telling me what I can or cannot do. I thought Alpine Linux was mostly for servers and would be headless anyway? So, what's the point of the bickering? @istvan
>I thought Alpine Linux was mostly for servers and would be headless anyway? I thought it was mostly for containers, and, since containers are retarded, retarded. I ran it on my laptop for a little while, put xfce on it, it was fine, but you might as well just >gentoo
alpine is ok as a desktop os, they package tons of stuff. i used it as my main os for a while. but it is mostly just for containers, everything is compiled size optimized
wrong think in all it's forms must be prohibited. Redhat has deemed x dead, and the xlibre attempt to resurrect it is not letting dei cripple it which is "problematic"
@adiz Not wanting DEI is probably an ideology for them. They likely associate a distaste for progressivism, marxism, socialism, communism, etc., with conservatism (which in their view is fascism of course). So for them not liking DEI=fascist. That's the ideology they proclaim to oppose.
Jeff Bozo, is wealthy because he owns a good portion of Amazon. If he were to "pay his fair share" he would have to give up his ownership and put people out of work, shut down operations, and discontinue many services.
Look at the 1.1% you claim is his tax rate, which is pure bullshit by the way, and figure out how much money that is. Do you pay that on your total wealth?
