“The Middle East has become the deadliest place in the world:

- to be a medical worker
- to be a humanitarian
- to be a UN team member
- to be a journalist

And one of the deadliest to be a civilian.”

– UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini

oohhh is it the one offered under ECON?

seeing lots of posts mis-spelling Purdue as Perdue

there's perdue farms, purdue pharma, and purdue university, and i think they are all largely unrelated

i guess my alma mater just gained notoriety outside of just shitting the bed in sports 🙃

wtf is going on at my alma mater?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

🇨🇳In China: agencies budget billions for total surveillance.
🇺🇸In America we buy & install the cameras ourselves.

wouldn't it be better to increase the work week!?

If you're reading about Epstein and his friends today, could you also take time to read this document?

I guarantee that someone at your university right now is a sexual harasser and/or abuser. Maybe you could stop them.

could you expand on what was your timescale and why it changed?
ty!

meaning, seek solutions that fix the underlying problems causing and enabling abuse

yeahhh, there's either this (requiring IDs) or outright bans

i really hope democratic governments don't seek the local minima of implementing firewalls like china or russia

great writing though!

i think the discounting of luck plays a major part of very privileged and successful people seeming so out of touch

if you are born a king or emperor, you'd be told by everyone around you that you were chosen by your god(s)

if your company succeeded, you're a genious and it was all you

i hope people could use this to push into the collective conscious why chat control in the EU is a bad idea.

purdueeeee!!

more over, current bluesky DMs seem to be off-protocol (not on the ATProtocol), and seem to be a temporary solution

their 2025 roadmap mentions looking at how to add DMs on the protocol and to make them secure

Just shipped: Bluesky Direct Messages! - Bluesky You can now send direct messages (DMs) to people on Bluesky! Say hi to a friend, colleague, or a crush.

adding media in DMs is on the roadmap, and so is secure messaging! i just think it's not a priority atm, and pushing people off-site for DMs is probably okay enough for now

Grok says safeguard lapses led to images of 'minors in minimal clothing' on X Elon Musk's xAI artificial intelligence chatbot Grok said on Friday lapses in safeguards had resulted in "images depicting minors in minimal clothing" on social media platform X and that improvements ...

this is irresponsible reporting. a neural network can't comment on why it produced CSAM. a neural network can't be held answerable for generating CSAM. accountability lies within the fascist ceo and the team willing to work for him

great performance by the ducks

cant ever support IU, but i cant bring myself to root against 'em

tough fall for the trains :(

tdd to the fullest extent ig

ahhh makes sense

how would you handle a edge cases? it seems counter intuitive to then also check in every single edge case resolved in human-language as you'd end up with really complex human-language software that seems like a pain to maintain.

i hate mandated tests, but i wonder if a system where a handful of randomly picked employees at a company are asked by an auditor or smtg of the like every few years to make sure that they are at least aware of what's out of line and how to get help

could be gamed but mandated hours seem worse
