Recruit Holdings shares climbed the most on record after the owner of Indeed.com forecast stronger-than-projected growth, easing investor concerns that artificial intelligence would disrupt its job-search business. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/05/18/companies/recruit-shares-jump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #recruit #stocks #jobs #ai #jobhunting

@aeris @purr niveau 0 budget ou UX ? 😁

Der @stk hat sich die SPARK KI Plattform des Bundes angeschaut und es ist alles sehr überschaubar zielführend

@EUCommission tax wealth, not work.

Golden Crown

15:30 late afternoon, mid-November in eastern Iceland, and the sun is setting in the south-west.

Looking north across Berufjörður, the mountains behind us are casting shadows onto the peaks on the opposite side of the fjord. Gradually they have crept up the faces of the mountains, and I have watched, spellbound.

A bizarre mountain named Stöng has a strange spiked pinnacle. For a perfect moment, only the very tip of it is sunset-lit.

@aeris @purr ok, noté

@EUCommission the only way to enforce age verification of minors is through total internet supervision of everybody. And it won't help with any of the problems on the internet, because facilitating and effectively rewarding terrible behaviour optimises the revenue of the main players.

If you want a better internet, step one is to ban behaviour-based profiling for advertising, with no "consent" loophole. It makes surveillance ("tracking cookies") immediately illegal (no "legitimate interest" excuse, GDPR does the rest). That trashes the direct "more bullying and hate leads to greater revenue" connection, which immediately removes the incentive to put active effort into more vicious online spaces. This applies to Google, Meta, X, Reddit, etc.

Note that the "consent is not an excuse" part is critical. "Ask me later" just means that people are worn down into clicking "yes" eventually, just to get it out of the way, you know yourself the dark patterns, you know yourself the cookie consent forms, where "none of them" is tedious and must be repeated on every visit, but "yes please" is simple and eternal. Try changing that decision later.

Ban the surveillance. Yes, it's many companies' entire business model. That's too bad for them, should have tried being socially positive. Yes, many services will have to start some sort of subscription or pay per use model instead of being fake-free. That's OK, they'll also be disincentivised to enshittify.

It'd make the internet better for everyone, including children, who could continue to find and create so many positive communities online, instead of being blanket-banned.

Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children.

Auf dem Weg nach #Berlin zur Auftaktveranstaltung des neuen @bmftr_bund -Rahmenprogramms für die #Geisteswissenschaften und #Sozialwissenschaften „Orientierung für eine Welt im Wandel“. Besonders freue ich mich auf den #Workshop "GSW und digitale Methoden: Welche neuen Formen wissenschaftlicher Praxis entstehen in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften durch digitale Forschungsinfrastrukturen und -methoden?" mit @NanetteRissler , Beatrice Rammstedt und Sascha Friesike

@Natouille@mastodon.tetaneutral.net @purr@firefish.asso-purr.eu.org Je demande au passage si on aurait du budget pour faire un truc propre… Parce que là on doit être au niveau 0 je dirais 😅

@vegard_berget This is my fourth pair of shoes from this company.

@TheBreadmonkey i have spent an hour or two refining image generation prompts to get a result that somewhat resembled what I had in mind. Took quite a bit of effort.

But not nearly as much effort as painting/photographing it myself. And it never looks original or... human. It never feels like I've created art.

@pascal_le_merrer
un message d'erreur : je dis à mon utilisateur'ice "c'est pété" / j'affiche la stack trace / message technique, la personne reste bloquée, c'est frustrant

un message d'aide : j'explique à mon utilisateur'ice la situation et comment arriver à faire faire ce qu'iel souhaite à la machine

@pascal_le_merrer j'essaie de m'efforcer depuis plusieurs années à ne plus appeler des `messages d'erreurs` mais plutot les désigner `message d'aide`

*meme dans le nom des variables*

ça ne change pas grand-chose, et ça change tout !

@TheBreadmonkey Chatbots! At the Drive-Thru

@vegard_berget These ones are not, no. Though in this case the damage I did to the kitten boots was to the leather itself, see:

https://velocipederider.com/@ruari/116594837618382661

So a re-sole would have fixes the issues.

FWIW I also own https://atheist.shoes/products/a-serious-boot which are resoleable.
