Last: Pièrre Hadot, “Filosofie als een manier van leven” , the Dutch translation of “Qu’est-ce que la Philosophie Antique?” , or “What is Ancient Philosophy?”

Current: Caroline Criado Pérez, “Invisible Women”

I would definitely recommend Hadot for a clear overview and an interesting read on filosophical history. Invisible women is kind of a must-read to learn about the data gap in statistics of women.

I have high hopes for Mistral. They’ve been working very hard on becoming an open, honest and secure player in the AI game. Being from France and thus having to adhere to the GDPR and EU AI Act. The transparency is also very welcome. They did sign the letter to postpone the EU AI Act by years, which was questionable.

Stepping out and showing the numbers, which are pretty damn hefty, is a ballsy move. Let’s hope they also focus on reusing the huge amount of water that gets pulled for cooling, though.

I’m not a fan of AI for its impact on the planet, but numbers like this hopefully makes people aware and consienceous about it. It will probably be here to stay for a good while, so AI companies being honest and working towards a more efficient and greener system will be a welcome treat.

I tried it, joined a couple rooms. Wanted to leave those public rooms but I kept getting notifications of rooms I already left.

Very wonky experience, so I dropped it and I use deltaChat now for my Tech-aware contacts

Pff hater, Arch users are definitely not cultists who are obligatory to share their divine wisdom and forcibly announce that they are part of this cul… Hobby.

I use arch btw

Because Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin?

About a 4 minute walk!

Nearly everything

Appears to siphon dem voters <> All her votes were republican

The lazy foreigners don’t do anything <> The foreigners are taking all our jobs

Please let me know how you figure that “all her votes were republicans”, I’m very interested.

Fully agree. Americans have every chance and opportunity to not vote for geriatric maniacs. They only needed to look further than their TV screens, but they didn’t.

And seeing at the down votes, and anticipating the mockery of saying that both dems and reps don’t support the health, safety and prosperity for any but the rich and wealthy, I’ll say this:

Stop parroting and start looking at how your precious democratic party treated its poor, its illegal, its downtrodden, its sick. You’re a joke, kisses!

And those people fleeing genuine threat should be welcomed as refugees. American voting citizens however, need to get their assess out on the streets and actually start challenging the police, ICE and government, instead of fleeing what they created.

Netherlands here. The 862.409 Americans that voted for a better country (Jill Stein voters) are more than welcome here. Also, those who face illegal prosecution and genuine threat from the government, ICE and police. The rest would just move our political compass further to the authoritarian side, dems or reps.

Netherlands here, I call, have an appointment the same or next day, insurance covers all costs.

If they proscribe meds, I pay a part up until a maximum of 385 euros per year (called “own risk”) , anything above that is covered as well.

I’m also covered for physiotherapy (18 sessions without “own risk”), psychological therapy, dentistry and a variety of alternative medicine!

I pay a pretty hefty premium, like 170 euros a month, but that’s because I have the lowest “own risk” and I blow through that in the first month or 3 with my rickety ass body 😂

Definitely beats footing the bill completely, I’ve seen what dentistry costs 😱

Yep! My first bruises from a police baton stayed with me for almost 2 months (they got me in the ribs) but I showed them off with pride! The comradery at protests is amazing, and the contacts you make are for a lifetime!

Upvote: the things I want others to read.

Downvote: the things I’d rather see buried.

I’m not saying they couldn’t be. I’m saying that the official body meant to oversee this has not yet put out proof that they are. So we can imagine all we want. If the professional independent watchdog that is checking for this has not officially made a statement with undeniable proof that they are, they aren’t.

Who has more insight in the matter, you or the IAEA?

And it’s on the IAEA to declare that they are indeed working on a weapons program, not speculation and assumption like yours.

Where is the evidence that they are working on a weapon? There are people getting murdered because people have become brainwashed enough to just assume Iran is working on a nukes.

I’m just saying, killing civilians on the basis of assumption is a pretty terrorist move and feels very similar to how Iraq was bombed to hell by America. But hey, that’s just my 2 cents.

It’s civilian scientists working on nuclear energy we are talking about.

You’re part of the problem.

I fucking hated crocs when they came out.

And then I went on a canoe vacation in Sweden and now I swear by them 😂

Brand clothing plastered with logos of the brand.

I immediately know you’re vacuous and live your life for the image you have for others instead of focusing on yourself.
