Man sollte schon erwarten dürfen, dass Nachrichtenagenturen in ihren Texten zu den iranischen Spielerinnen und Trumps Einmischung eine kurze Darstellung des Umgangs der amerikanischen Regierung mit Asyl- und Visaantragstellenden aus der Islamischen Republik gelingt, um Kontext zu liefern...

“I got AI agents to rewrite my company docs in the voice of a 1990s football commentator, it did a great job”

We see these kinds of fun trivia examples all the time. But I’d much prefer to see how well they did at reproducing your last tax return. Or that thorny data analysis you spent ages on.

Table showing extreme benefits of using biomass as materials for local, rural job and wealth creation.

There was a study for the german government about the potential of using biomass directly as materials, not just for energy. The results are mind blowing. I guess that is why it is still completely ignored.
It's in german, but see the factors.

Images published by Iranian state media show remnants of a US Tomahawk missile at a girls’ school in Minab.
It’s not possible to independently verify the provenance of the remnants from this imagery alone. But Bellingcat previously detailed how a Tomahawk missile hit a structure next to the school.

in other words: Trump helps Putin to make even more money to finance Russia's war against Ukraine. And quite a lot of that money will come from Europe. Which is threatened by Russia as well. Madness, utter madness.

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature — but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

Das muss man sich mal vorstellen, wie weit die Aneignung durch KI-Unternehmen geht: Grammarly schmückt sich mit den Namen bekannter Journalist:innen - die KI macht angeblich ihren Stil nach und soll Texte verbessern

Aber: Die Journalist:innen haben nie ihre Zustimmung gegeben

I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.

Das schreib ich als Österreicher, der sieht, wie im Unterschied dazu die ÖVP in den Bundesländern genau das nicht gemacht hat, und ohne jeden Skrupel di FPÖ in die Regierung hievt.
Und auf Bundesebene genauso.

An incredible breakdown of what was lost when USAID was dismantled and attacked by the Trump administration, who was responsible, how the impact of this on people has been dire.

Line graph time series of 2026's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2025. 2026 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between February and April by looking at the decadal average line positions.

Die Lösung wäre einfach @markusmarterbauer.bsky.social :
- Übergewinn im Vgl zu letzten 2 Jahren durch 100%-Abzocke-Steuer & Strafe von Energiekonzernen & Tankstellenbetreibern abschöpfen
- Zusätzliche Einnahmen in sozialen Ausgleich und/oder Klimaschutz investieren
- Abzocke endet, Inflation sinkt

As we approach the 15th anniversary of Tokyo Electric's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant meltdown disaster on 3/11/11, remember that radioactive isotopes from it were found in tuna caught off of San Diego in August 2011 and in Napa wine produced after 2011.
