I have AI hype, online form, and online survey exhaustion. Working in tech has taken a turn for the worse. Is this really what we want to do with our days?

@thestrangelet You are very not alone in that sentiment.

BBC: Saudi forces 'told to kill’ to clear land for eco-city https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68945445

ai6yr,

Per BBC: "Saudi authorities have permitted the use of lethal force to clear land for a futuristic desert city being built by dozens of Western companies, an ex-intelligence officer has told the BBC.

Col Rabih Alenezi says he was ordered to evict villagers from a tribe in the Gulf state to make way for The Line, part of the Neom eco-project.

One of them was subsequently shot and killed for protesting against eviction. "

Quand un #JdR sort chez #Dystopia je n'hésite pas une seconde. Je ne suis pas encore très familier de la proposition de #Marchebranche de @Thomas_Munier, mais je suis sûr que cette proposition m'ouvrira de nouveaux horizons et sera réalisée avec un soin méticuleux.

J'y joue très bientôt et je vous en dit plus.

Old review.

EURYTHMICS - 1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother)

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2014/03/eurythmics-1984-for-love-of-big-brother.html

This movie (and the year it was released) is now forty years old. That's older than than the gap between when the book was written and the year it was based upon! Are we more of a society now than what Orwell envisioned? I don't know about that, but our current music sure isn't as cold and heavy as heard here.

Kiedyś ukończyłam kurs przygotowujący do właściwego zachowania w razie zagrożeń typu wojna, kataklizm, świat pogrążony w chaosie. I co, gdy wysiadło światło na dzielni okazało się, że moje powerbanki są martwe. I po co mi było ten kurs robić?

I know Amazon warehouse jobs are notoriously dehumanizing, but they pay the bills for those desperate for jobs. Let's just replace more people so they can't make a living without providing for them, right? Labor is expensive. If this works, you can buy your own warehouse bot! Yay.

If robots replace more and more workers who is going to buy the shit big business sells?

Exactly! You get the paradoxical thinking.

I haven't posted any of my short stories in a while, so in honour of this leap day: a free bit of dystopian Sci-Fi for your enjoyment.

(Apologies to those seeing this twice, I originally forgot the hash tags and I was informed editing doesn't help to make them show up in the feeds.)

@RustyBertrand of course, despite the headline hype, there is more to it than that. They want to discourage pigeons and simply suggesting people don’t subsidise them in the middle of the city doesn’t work.

@daveunderwood John Oliver did a great report on these a few years ago - big scam. (I know… surprise!!)

@deborahh

What is http://leadnow.ca doing to work toward the 2025 Federal election? What kind of work will you be doing?

@dyckron

@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@bobjonkman @dyckron Thanks for your interest!

LeadNow.ca have a new Exec Director and have named 4 strategic goals. Now preparing to set up volunteer action groups on:
▪ climate change (timely actions as opp arises)
▪ housing affordability
▪ taxing corporations (windfall, profiteering, excess profits)
▪ fight for progressive values in the next federal election

I hope to work on the last one :-)
Of course all 4 overlap.

Get on their mailing list to hear how things progress (pun intended) 😉
