The #shutdown is the first since Jan 2019, & the 4th of #Trump’s 2 terms. Admin ofcls this time, though, have signaled plans to use the closed agencies as a way to vastly reshape the #FederalGovernment & consolidate #power under the presidency.
#OMB dir #RussVought ordered agencies to consider #MassFirings rather than #furloughs. His instructions to agencies include guidance on rewriting #regulations surrounding federal #grants & challenging #Congress’s constitutional #power over spending.

~750k #FederalWorkers are expected to be furloughed, & some fired by the #Trump admin. Many offices will be shuttered, perhaps permanently, as Trump vows to “do things that are irreversible, that are bad” as #retribution. His #deportation agenda is expected to run full speed ahead, while #education, #environmental & other #services sputter. The economic fallout is expected to ripple nationwide.

HELP! Mon fils s’installe à Paris le 2 octobre. Il fait une année de césure au cours de laquelle il va tenter sa chance dans la musique et s’investir dans des associations en lien avec les VSS - futur thème de ses recherches en master.
Il parle l’anglais couramment, a une licence de psychologie mention bien et a bossé 20h par semaine en tant qu’agent d’accueil dans LE Barber shop de Lyon 🙃 pdt 13 mois.
Il cherche du taf sur Paris (sa chambre étudiante est à Issy les Moulineaux).
Si jamais…. Merci!! Un hug virtuel à chaque repouet! #jobsearch #jobs #jobetudiant #pleintemps #paris #travail #MagasinParis #services #job

How can an alternative to Google & Co. be created? With your own open web index, such as the one developed in the @openwebsearcheu research project. @Golemde asked project manager Michael Granitzer from the University of Passau and coordinator Stefan Vogt from the @osf how the open web index OWI can now become a #European #search engine. Exciting – because we all want to emancipate ourselves from #USA #serviceshttps://besserwissen.podigee.io/136-openwebsearch (in German).

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger#Apps.
My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal¹, #Telegram, #Discord², #WhatsApp, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:
WHY is there no #CrossProvider#Messenger to handle that shite?
WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated#WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU they can??
This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)
I mean
API 0- style access because obviously none of the platforms will allow, endorse or support such an endeavour and actively fight the developers and users !
So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidginfor garbage platforms!

"Public services are inefficient"
Nope, neoliberalism fools us by dismantling public good, and blame it after. "Break it, blame it, sell it".

Day by day, service by service we can detach ourselves from the underlord grips.
