"The single-point focus on global temperatures as a proxy of human welfare in the face of climate change has structured the latter's science and politics. What has been erased in the process are the effects of changing climate on regional and local phenomena, such as the Indian monsoon, which are better captured through everyday life experiences. These experiences are arguably much more important in mobilising societal action than global proxies."
Diese Woche war ich mit einem Freund im Saturn-Laden, uns wurde ein "woww super Gratisgeschenk zomg folgt mir unauffällig" eines Mitarbeiters (?) versprochen.
Stellte sich raus es war ein #Worldcoin-Startetpaket mit $hitgeld. Man musste dafür nur: Seine Telefonnummer, Apple-ID/Mail, Diverse Einverständnisse und einen Iris (&3D-Gesichts?)-Scan hergeben.
"Noch sind es nur X Euro wert, aber Geheimtip: Behaltet es noch, das wird mehr".
@supergarv Ich konnte mit #Worldcoin zunächst nichts anfangen. Die Befragung der Suchmaschine meiner Wahl förderte dann einen Beitrag[1] von #ZDF heute zu Tage, in welchem Ricardo Macieira, der Worldcoin-Europachef, wie folgt zitiert wird:
"Bei der Registrierung [...] müssen Nutzer den Angaben zufolge weder Namen, Adresse oder Telefonnummer nennen."
Deine Beobachtung ist mal wieder ein hervorragendes Beispiel für die Abweichung von #Theorie und #Praxis. 🤷
The most consistent bright spot in the dark swirl of US politics is the competence of the Biden Administration's progressive enforcers: people like #RohitChopra, #JonathanKanter and #LinaKhan, who keep demonstrating just how far a good administrator can go. Anyone can have a vision, but knowing how to execute is the difference between hot air and real change:
Once, workers had "#DefinedBenefitsPensions," where employers promised to pay a certain amount every year from retirement to death. #JimmyCarter swapped that out for #401Ks, "market" pensions where you have to guess which stocks will be valuable or starve in your old age:

Su is part of a wave of progressive, technically skilled regulators in the Biden administration that resulted from a horse-trading exercise called the #UnityTaskForce, which divvied up access to top appointments among the progressive wing and the finance wing of the Democratic Party. The progressive appointments are nothing short of incredible - the most competent and principled agency leaders America has seen in half a century:
In der #Praxis hocken und warten. Was macht ihr heute noch so?
Ich habe mit meinem Kranken-Hintern vorhin an meinem #SteamDeck gefuchtelt. Nun muss ich nur noch die #Savegames von #Epic auf dem Deck laden und ich bin zufrieden, irgendwelche Ideen? Abseits von du kannst das im Menü anhaken.... xD
#Regulation#State#Government#Antitrust#Competition: "In Public Choice Theory, the biggest companies in an industry have the strongest interest in capturing the regulator, and they will work harder – and have more resources – than anyone else, be they members of the public, workers, or smaller rivals. This inevitably leads to capture, where the state becomes an arm of the dominant companies, wielded by them to prevent competition:
(...)
This is regulatory nihilism. It supposes that the only reason you weren't killed by your dinner, or your antilock brakes, or your collapsing roof, is that you just got lucky – and not because we have actual, good, sound regulations that use evidence to protect us from the endless lethal risks we face. These nihilists suppose that making good regulation is either a myth – like ancient Egyptian sorcery – or a lost art – like the secret to embalming Pharaohs.
But it's clearly possible to make good regulations – especially if you don't allow companies to form monopolies or cartels. What's more, failing to make public regulations isn't the same as getting rid of regulation. In the absence of public regulation, we get private regulation, run by companies themselves."
Who should set #TradeRules for US commerce -- Amazon? FTC? IMO, FTC better serves people in US.
"For decades, the DoJ and FTC sat idly by while Amazon assembled and fortified its monopoly. Today, Amazon is the de facto e-commerce regulator. The company charges its independent sellers 45-51% in junk fees to sell on the platform". -- @pluralistic
Sure, sometimes it makes sense to do your own research. There's times when you really do need to take personal responsibility for the way things are going. But there's limits. We live in a highly technical world, in which hundreds of esoteric, potentially lethal factors impinge on your life every day.

Die bundesweite Fachtagung fokussiert die Fragen, wie die schulischen Ausbildungen im Gesundheits-, Erziehungs- und Sozialwesen besser befördert werden können. Neben spannenden Inputs aus #Wissenschaft und #Praxis gibt es verschiedene #Workshops. Darin geht es u.a. um Good-Practice-Beispiele, wie junge Menschen für schulische Ausbildungen gewonnen werden können sowie um die Frage, wie die Sichtbarkeit der schulischen (GES)-Ausbildungen in der #Berufsorientierung für junge Menschen weiter erhöht werden kann. In einer anschließenden #Podiumsrunde wird es zudem um die Fragen gehen, was sich an schulischen Ausbildungen ändern sollte, damit sie attraktiver werden für junge Menschen und was die freie #Wohlfahrtspflege dazu beitragen kann.
Die Veranstaltung ist eine Kooperation des #Paritätischen Gesamtverbandes mit dem Paritätischen Nordrhein-Westfalen und dem Paritätischen Baden-Württemberg.
Speicherdauer von Logfiles innerhalb des Unternehmensnetzwerks
Fazit
Der Schutz der IT-Sicherheit und damit inbegriffen auch die Abwehr von Cyberangriffen dient gerade der Datensicherheit innerhalb eines Unternehmens und sollte daher stets auf die Bedürfnisse in der aktuellen Zeit angepasst werden. Deshalb kollidiert für bestimmte Fälle, wie insbesondere sicherheitsrelevante IT-Systeme, der Grundsatz der Speicherbegrenzung mit dem Erfordernis der Sicherheit der Datenverarbeitung und damit inbegriffen die Errichtung von geeigneten technischen und organisatorischen Maßnahmen zum Schutz der personenbezogenen Daten des Unternehmens.
Es gilt jedoch abzuwarten, ob es hierzu auf das jetzige Zeitgeschehen angepasste Aussagen der Aufsichtsbehörden geben wird. https://www.datenschutz-notizen.de/speicherdauer-von-logfiles-innerhalb-des-unternehmensnetzwerks-1344161/ #Datenschutz#Umsetzung#Praxis#imho Immer ein Spagat, die Umsetzung
"We believe there is no reasonable argument against the use of respirator masks in healthcare settings. The arguments against their use seem to center on comfort or cost, neither of which have previously been acceptable reasons for a reduction in the standard of care offered to patients or the duty of care owed to staff and patients."
investigative report tells how morbidly rich families, their companies, & their personal foundations are funding efforts to limit/restrict democracy across U.S.
“The fringe Japanese instances have CSAM” - while they need to actionable incitement to violence here - is a story that gets written every 12 months by boring lazy journalists.
The bulk of the primary island of the fediverse doesn’t have that problem… the alt/chan instances (could easily be called the “defediverse”) are a known problem and 99% of primary admins block them during the bootstrap of a mastodon instance.
So it’s actually a good news story there isn’t MORE abusive content on the primary island. You need to go out of your way to find it…. Welcome to the internet
We need to do more, but the community is heavily involved in direct action / pro active responses. which is good
But as an admin, my users have generated or spread zero examples of CSAM in 5 years. (Naturally. My users might also be trash weirdos but to the best of my ability I’ve bounced most of those people. Which is an actual example of federated self governance.) #Praxis
Here's a question for the pagans and polytheists out there: what does orthopraxy mean/how does it work in the context of a new/revived religious movement or an individual spiritual practice? I suspect reconstructionists might have a cool answer for this, also curious what others think, is it something that matters to people? #pagan#polytheism#praxis
A Peer Support Specialist reaches across, not down. Non-hierarchical-- that's literally a requirement spelled out in the job description.
We close the liminal space between "patient" and "well person". We bridge the gap between the person receiving care and their therapist/doctor etc. We're the people you want knocking on the door when you're having a major personal crisis-- you know, instead of the people with guns. We've lived through our own crises/trauma/illness/addiction/etc, and we know how it actually feels.
This isn't just some cute hand-holding role. It's a crucial part of a larger movement to integrate and humanize-- frankly, to TRANSFORM-- healthcare. That's the agenda, straight up. And I even get to fucking SAY THAT out loud.
And how do we enact this subversive scheme? By using empathy to relate to people, while helping empower them to determine and work on their OWN damn recovery goals, without judging.
Trying to "fix" people leads to burnout. Coercion and punishment have diminishing returns-- you can't force anybody to get better by kicking them when they're already down. Stigma has done massive damage. So we slow down, give an actual shit, and walk WITH people while they learn to fish, instead of beating fish over their heads, get it?
