In the end it was all because of Eve and that stupid apple, or maybe the snake. Why was there a tree in the first place? Also was it really necessary to make a universe? Now that’s where the trouble really started!

IMO the way to prevent such a scenario from happening is not by blocking Meta, but by inviting equally large competitors to join the fediverse. The described tactic can only work if you have close to a monopoly.

Ontkennen van klimaat issues? Linkje?

They’re right though. Top of the line software for certain domains (CAD, photoshop) just doesn’t exist for Linux. As much as I would want it to be.

It doesn’t read as if the author is generalizing all Europeans, it reads more as if he’s criticizing European policy. For what it’s worth in his book he’s very critical of Brexit as well.

Reality: most tech workers view it as fairly rated or slightly overrated according to the real data: https://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2023/11/2023-11-20-image-3.png

The paper I showed earlier disagrees

I think the use case is not people doing potato study but people that want to lose weight and need to know the amount of calories in the piece of cake that’s offered at the office cafeteria.

It needn’t be exact. A ballpark calorie/sugar that’s 90% accurate would be sufficient. There’s some research that suggests that’s possible: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.01082.pdf

Ik vind het maar behoorlijk generaliserend, een hele generatie in een hokje zetten en analyseren vanuit de leunstoel.

Overigens geloof ik niet in het idee dat met eigen acties je klimaatverandering tegen kan gaan ofzo. Dat idee speelt al sinds de jaren negentig “een beter milieu begint bij jezelf”. Wij zijn niet in staat om onze eigen gewoontes structureel tegen de loep te houden, en in plaats daarvan resulteert het in zelfgenoegzaamheid.

Tbh, the article doesn’t really talk about the headline. Just some history and talk about Elon musk and Twitter. Not a convincing argument about social media in general.

Yes

Not saying I agree or disagree with the author. However you being his wife did not result in “female-initiated disruption of a male hierarchy” (their words) so it’s not really an argument against their hypothesis.

(Of course your husband being nice and not a dickhead probably also plays a role)

What are you talking about?

Nice! The first design is always a big step!

Are you having space for magnets in there?

If you’d like I’d suggest to put the files in printables.com, that way everyone can profit and remix your designs!

Dit was een interessante goed onderzochte video. Hij laat mooi de beide kanten zien. Ik wist trouwens niet dat het woord “zesjescultuur” nog steeds rond ging, dat kwam nog van Balkenende geloof ik.

Focussen op leren ipv cijfers lijkt me een goed ding. In mijn ervaring op de unief leek het dat het meestal de mensen die geïnteresseerd waren in het onderwerp die er het meeste van opstaken. Dat zorgde natuurlijk ook voor hogere cijfers. Maar mensen die enkel om de cijfers gingen waren minder mee en meer gestressed (geneeskunde studenten in dit geval).

Kleine toevoeging, als het over happiness of success gaat van het land is het altijd de vraag of het “daardoor” of “ondanks” is (because or despite).

There’s still the European Parliament. But yeah I guess he gets the job…

According to the article people spent on experience for fear that they will be unable to in the future. Which is a sad reason. People are ditching long-term savings to live it up now. Rather than save for a house, expensive vacation.

Truth is not supposed to be assigned to who makes the statement. What is actually happening is what is truth.

Also not all Muslim countries, mainly authoritarian régimes.
