Want a private conversation with me?
Okay, sure, but first you'll need to drop your phone, watch, earbuds, fitness tracker, whatever, in this noise-blocking Faraday cage...

Replay shows a clear foul. Commentators discuss a clear foul. Referee sees no foul and spends all kinds of time arguing about leaving the field for an injury stoppage WHEN HE COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE STOPPAGE BY CALLING THE FOUL.
Could folks donate to such a worthy cause?
If so how might one do so to piss off fascist arseholes? 🙂
@simonzerafa yes absolutely! Thank you so much! https://elementary.io/get-involved#funding

kind words appreciated, but I feel that Wikipedia is seriously the most important site ever
"The Most Important Website Ever - Craigslist"
@craignewmark I dunno, wikipedia has never furnished my home like Craigslist has. Or helped me move, downsize, finish projects on budget, etc. etc. On the local community level, it certainly has had more of an impact in people's lives.

Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.
In klassisch-ökonomischer Wettbewerbsmanier begegnen uns in der medialen Berichterstattung über die PISA-Ergebnisse Begriffe wie "Wettbewerb", "Verlierer", "Abstieg" und Co.
Damit machen sich journalistische Medien selbst zum Teil des Problems: Bildung ist und braucht mehr - sofern man sie nicht als Indoktrination oder Arbeitsmarktzufuhrrampe begreift.
@nadia_z ..hervorragender Kommentar!
@nathanlovestrees Didn’t know you wear glasses.
Also relatable
@farah I wear glasses most of the time!
Why are field trips reserved only for schoolchildren?
Wouldn't we all benefit from an educational visit to a museum, fish hatchery, or haunted forest instead of being at work today?
@Edmonds_Scanner They're sometimes called "corporate retreats" and "business outings for team-building exercises" I think.

@nocci @funkvolk Eine wirklich herzliche Bitte an Dich und die Kolleg*innen der Redaktion: Schaut Euch den Vortrag an von Nadia Zaboura (@nadia_z) https://chaos.social/@nadia_z/117228513863954223
Hört auf, Euch mitschuldig zu machen!
Danke für den Verweis auf den Beitrag von Prof. Leonhard Dobusch und mir, @plinubius @nocci @funkvolk
Die Aussage, dass das Publikum sich selbst eine Meinung bilden könne, ist mir lange bekannt, u.a. von einer öffentlichen Diskussion mit Jörg Schönenborn.
Das Problem ist und bleibt, dass Journalismus, insbesondere öffentlich-rechtlicher Journalismus, in seinem Kern explizit kein Nacherzählungsapparat ist. Sondern einen journalistischen Kernauftrag garantiert, verankert im Medienstaatsvertrag.
Isak injured. Fingers crossed it´s nothing serious.
