DANA VALENCIA: Rebelión en los autobuses "No queremos ir a limpiar tiendas"

No los mandan a limpiar centros comerciales, solo es un centro logístico. De ahí los mandan a los barrios. Sigo diciendo que el voluntariado es una mala idea
Dear #adhd folks, what do you consider as adhd-friendly blog design in terms of readability, information positioning and separation and such? Of course I have my own preferences, but maybe there's something I haven't thought about (except of course such basic things like no popups, flashy autoplayed videos and similar).
Minimal distractions, ie when I click to read an article, I'd really like to see *nothing* but the content of the article until at the very least, the end of the article.
Whitespace around text and images (room to think / somewhere to park my eyes while thinking)
Paragraphs can deal with complex ideas and wording, but keep them short. I don't want to try and keep a book in my working memory.
Slightly oversized text so I don't get distracted when visually losing my place.

To be honest I never look at any table of contents. They're always so generic that they never really tell me if I'm going to find anything new or not. I'm more likely to just scroll down, skimming through the content looking for interesting bits, so large subsection titles, images and oversize, short quotations are more likely to draw me in.
I do love it when people can give links to specific parts of an article (literally HTML link elements) so I'm taken straight to the good bits.
Now that I got my ass handed to me in a game of #Warhammer 40K, it's time for the #Linux and #OpenSource News video!
In this one, the OSI basically said that no big #AI model is currently Open Source, Torvalds said AI is 90% Marketing, we have the release of #Fedora 41 and the #Cosmic Alpha 3, and Apex Legends blocked Linux gamers:
Tech Cyborg reshared this.
@passafora Yeah I watched it this afternoon, it’s unfortunate that the usual idiots attach to anything and try and misinterpret it. It’s been this way with 40K, and any setting that depicts a militaristic setting, basically forever…
Doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the hobby and the setting, it just means we need to kick out anyone who thinks it’s validating their disgusting world view

NYT management has been bargaining with the tech workers #union for two years, and has denied them the same protections won by the NYT newsroom union and the Wirecutter Union.
Now NYT management is willing to risk the Times' site crashing on election night rather than make a fair deal with tech workers. It's infuriating!
Evan Halper & Caroline O'Donovan: As data centers for AI strain the power grid, bills rise for everyday customers: The huge demand for electricity from data centers driving the AI boom has fallout for everyday ratepayers. Regulators are concerned.
"Consumers in some regions of the country are facing higher electric bills due to a boom in tech companies building data centers that guzzle power and force expensive infrastructure upgrades.
Companies such as Google and Amazon have ramped up construction of new data centers as they race to compete in artificial intelligence. The facilities’ extraordinary demand for electricity to power and cool computers inside can drive up the price local utilities pay for energy and require significant improvements to electric grid transmission systems."

in reply to Emmanuel Florac • • •@tomgrzybow@societas.online that's the point : people really disagree with you. Imagine, I know that some people actually believe in their religion, that's barely comprehensible to me.
Notice how well Hanania described opinions he deems completely crazy. I mean the guy is a libertarian for fuck's sake. He thinks that a man makes himself somehow, like you're somehow born out of your own ass. That's *really** nonsense (because I really thought hard about it, mind you). But he's able to faithfully describe what others think. That's intelligence.
If you can't steelman the opposite opinion to yours, then you don't really know why you're believing what's you're thinking. You must be able to steelman both sides, before saying that you made your mind. Because those crazies, those haters, etc have reasons to think what they think -- those that don't simply go with the flow, like Hanania. Really fucking damn good reasons.
