For months, Germany has been controversially debating the return of military conscription. But who actually supports it? And more importantly, why? Here are some insights based on a representative survey from last autumn. A thread 🧵

The thing I find fascinating is that their store just continues to suck.
It's been eight years now (PLUS previous internal development) and the product managers for the store have dropped the ball on user experience, performance, discoverability and integrations.

Great UE coders, bad Epic managers.

FIFA faces new crisis as SoFi Stadium workers in LA threaten strike action The union UNITE HERE Local 11 has made a series of demands to FIFA and voiced major concerns about ICE agents around World Cup venues

Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium.

The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike.

Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.

They'll keep shrinking the definition of "acceptable art" until you can't talk about any of your lived experiences in a fictional setting

The best thing about being a GM in a TTRPG is that you can just take the knowledge that you have if your players and create NPCs with names that will trigger them. One player doesn't know who Eminem is? Guess I'll have the next important letter signed by "M. Inem".

When Satellite Imagery Goes Dark: New Tool Shows Damage in Iran and the Gulf - bellingcat Bellingcat is introducing an updated damage assessment tool — called the Iran Conflict Damage Proxy Map — focused on destruction in Iran and the Gulf .

With widespread internet blackouts in Iran and new restrictions on certain satellite imagery of the region at the request of the US government, Bellingcat is launching a tool to help estimate the damage in Iran and the wider Gulf region. www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

Remember when Google admitted its AI search was unreliable and shipped it anyway? MS now saying copilot is just for funsies and shouldn’t be taken seriously? This entire bubble is so stupid.

This is so, so well-articulated.

That’s one hell of a cover…..

Some very long awaited stuff that's in there this time :)

Fantastic roll, I needed that laugh today ☺️🫶🏼

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

Können wir darüber sprechen, was für ein krasser Tabubruch es ist, wenn eine Regierung offen zugibt, politisch nicht auf Linie stehende Organisationen zu bekämpfen? Und dabei ausgerechnet Demokratiebildung in Deutschland einstampft?

Episode Three of SEE YOU IN HELL is now playing everywhere. It's the one in which the white-hot temperature of my searing satire immolates every AI evangelist within a radius of a hundred miles. @robhuebel.bsky.social and @paulscheer.com crushed it as the two tech bros in for a rude awakening:

Some of the best art direction and art that's ever been or ever will be in a video game.

If you've never played it it's well worth battling the controls to experience this world.

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

For anyone using the "cmhealthcheck" #powershell module, I posted a heavy update (v1.1.0) but not to PS Gallery yet. I'd like to ask for help testing and providing feedback first. If you're interested, download it from the GitHub repo: github.com/Skatterbrain... - Thank you!

Subnautica devs v. Krafton ruling is ABSOLUTELY stunning. Start at the top of page 32 and read until the end of that section on page 37.

Krafton CEO was warned by their legal personnel to not follow ChatGPT into what is likely Some Of The Dumbest Legal Shit Ever, CEO believed the plagiarism bot.

I didn't believe this so I looked it up and holy shit, it's true.

There is a literal pathway to life imprisonment if a trans person uses the bathroom 4 times in Idaho, if this bill fully passes.

“You must teach this technology to your students, but also we won’t hire them” is a helluva sales pitch for AI in the classroom 🙃

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Ah, the wonderful world of learning never to hand out access to Graph (and APIs in general) to just about everyone with a "valid" requirement 😊
I think (haven't checked in a while) you could utilize Administrative Units to segment admin devices as the Graph context should respect that segmentation
