- gesetzl. Kündigungsschutz und Lebensstandardabsicherung über unbegrenzte Arbeitslosenhilfe – alles gestrichen/aufweicht, mehr Befristungen (prekärer Arbeitsmarkt, Leiharbeit, Minijobs), hoher Sanktionsdruck

- verlässliche Sicherung des Lebensstandards im Alter - Absenkung Rentenniveau, Erhöhung Rentenalter

(2/2)

Ich sehe schon, ich muss konkret daran erinnern, was uns alles weggenommen wurde:

- echte paritätische Mitbestimmung im industriellen Kern (Montan-Modell, 50% Anteilseigner, 50% Arbeitnehmer im Aufsichtsrat)

- Verbraucherschutz vor übermächtigen Monopolen: Liberalisierung von Kartellrecht und Fusionskontrolle (Stichwort Ministererlaubnis)

(1/2)

Menschen immer wieder daran erinnern, dass wir in Deutschland mal "Soziale Marktwirtschaft" hatten und das in vielerlei Hinsicht besser für alle war, als was wir heute haben. War das perfekt? Nein. Aber so viel besser als heute, dass Jüngere einem fast nicht glauben, wenn man davon berichtet. Man würde sich wünschen auch Boomer und Rentner täten sich daran erinnern, warum genau das damals besser für alle war.

@marcedwards @jellybeansoup yes there's video! all the talks are here: https://www.youtube.com/@omtconf

Good news, everyone! It looks like FreeDOS decided to ban AI writing the code for FreeDOS: https://www.freedos.org/about/ai/

They used to have a few LLM authored commits, so I was worried things will deteriorate/bit rot. Hopefully they will not!

I'm on a Fairphone 4 and it's still doing great, especially since I gave it a new battery. I've been thinking about e/OS for whenever i have to upgrade, but the idea that critical apps (eg banking) may not work does put me off. Do you have a sense for how reasonable that worry is?

@pikarl Ich bin der im Sendegate gefolgt, da stand "aktuellste" Version. 😁 @pkra

If a person killed themselves after using your product and your response was meaningless changes and press releases, you'd be a sociopath.

If LOTS of people killed themselves for YEARS and your response stayed the same AND billionaires increased funding for your suicide machine, apparently that makes you a brilliant entrepreneur.

@sebsauvage Bah, non, vu que c’est leur raison d’être ! 🤷

@marcedwards @lexfri that was a good conference

Ich mache mit bei der Sommer Spenden Aktion von Sea Eye.
Hier ist der Link https://you.sea-eye.org/spendenaktionen?cfs=p&cfd=1vf08#cff
Ihr könnt spenden und Leben retten.

every few days there's a new high-minded article about how no-one reads books anymore and especially not the Youths, and none of them seem to be aware that the Youths are out here reading and writing one-million-word online fics that they simply don't talk to the adults about because the adults scorn them as not "real" books

In 2013, @lexfri gave a talk at the One More Thing conference, with advice on how indie developers and companies should contact journalists and news sites. I learned a lot, and started following his advice immediately.

Hurriedly bought a get well card for a friend in hospital, who had lost his leg to cancer. Opened it in the car and it said, "Hope you're back on your feet soon!". Changed it to foot. Thankfully, he laughed.

I look forward to hearing about other indie devs and their apps in upcoming articles. I really mean that — it’s getting harder and harder to find the smaller gems in a sea of giant companies and slop.

So I wondered... as #LongestTrainEU is now amazingly ahead of schedule, could I get *further* than Genève tonight

How about a, say, 19:00 TGV Strasbourg - Lyon

Ah no

The last train between France's 8th and 2nd cities goes at... 16:15 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Going to Genève makes pretty much no sense, geographically, but the Swiss do actually like running trains. The French, not so much!

@Mantatter the front design is really lovely

@statsguy Here's a link to the RNLI's own donations page; it's very easy to use: https://rnli.org/support-us/give-money/donate

@humanhorseshoes I mean, that sounds logical to me!
