Mobilizon is a federated group/event platform

On my area meet up and Heylo are popular group/events platform, but both are proprietary

While there is tons of nice place/stuff to do in Paris, many people see it as a perfect, romantic, ideal whatever city, and a visit there the trip of a lifetime.

Paris is a 10 million inhabitants urban area with all the associated problems,

Imagine thinking you’re in the perfect city and being stuck in a crowded train, then in traffic, and falling in any possible tourist traps, from the barely legal but legal low quality, high price restaurant to the pickpocketsand other petty crime

Just dropping that here https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-elon-musk-x-twitter-donald-trump-b2614525.html

Fuck you Elon

The trick is within the company for 20 years. If you’re the guardian of some ancient forgotten but critical knowledge, you become impossible to fire

What’s she intended audience and the speaker profile?

An AI summit for math/Computer science/Physics students would look very different from an AI summit for business/economy/law students.

-Should everyone get a basic knowledge of how it works under the hood so they use it properly?

• Which new jobs will appear? And which one will be replaced

• Is it time for UBI?

• Shall we setup laws to limit what can be done with AI?

• Is AI a massive copyright violation?

What the hell? And how didn’t it ended in a massive lawsuit?

French and Arabic are the second and third most spoken language in number of countries. Then there is the obvious Mandarin which is spoken in most of China with around a billion locutors

Seize the illegally obtained wealth, pay civil damages to the victims and rehabilitation program including education and psychological support.

I’m fine saying that people like Dutroux, Breivick or Abdeslam shall not be out before a very long-time. However, they’re not the average criminal.

Let me return you the question, there is that single-mother who struggle to pay the rent, and debt collector knocked her door a few times, a drug dealer ask her if she can keep a package for them and that someone will pick-it up tomorow night and give her 500 € in exchange, does that woman (Which is now part of drug dealer network) desserve jail-time ? Wouldn’t giving her the mean to pay the rent prevent her from needing to take part of drug traffic ? That drunk person has a fight in the train station, the other fighter falls on the track as the train arrive, now a person died. Does the person desserve to spend 5-10 years in jail ? Wouldn’t Rehab work better ?

I’ll go even further and say that welfare program, teacher, psychiatrist and some other do way more at preventing crime than police, jail and hard on crime policies

Depending what you look for.

For horror role-playing, I sometimes put various dark ambient playlists from youtube/spotify with artists like Atrium Carceri or Cryo chamber not sure whether they really have an audience out of the rpg community

Doom metal, may also be a good choice Blood Ceremony has some pretty dark tones (even though their latest Album is more modern blues than doom metal) or Uncle acid. Iff you’re into the slow music you can go for band like Monarch!

Bike trip on the Panericana from Punta Arenas to whatever is the northern most city in Alaska. Or if I have less time but cash to burn, do it in an ultra-light (A bit like Blyth Cape-town Cape North expedition in the 90’s http://www.trike-expeditions.com/CapeToCape/capetocape.html )

I plan on doing exactly that for the following 6 months (quit my job, taking a break to address burnout and reorient): nothing.

I wouldn’t call adressing a burnout a Sabbatical but a sick leave, a Sabbatical is choosing to take time off work for a project, not needing to take time off work for your mental health

Sorry that you’re there (And use the health issue as an explanation for the hole in your CV if they ask)

Weirdest I’ve seen was that voter who comes to his voting office, not to vote but to insult The president, The mayor, the volunteer and staff present, and even some of the voters we spent like 5 minutes trying to de-escalate and negotiate Please either leave or vote, but stop insulting everyone and it’s finally when the voting office chairwoman took her phone to call the cops that this guy went away. (Thanks for the extra paperwork, because event though the cops didn’t have to physically remove a person out of the voting station, we know had to describe the incident in the report, at least it was a consensual decision for every official present)

On more banal stuff I’ve seen that tall/large gentleman on crutches who put the voting booth down when trying to enter inside.

Could anyone get an registration link ? it’s one week and still waiting for it

I also love-it so much, Suddently, there is day light late, you see people outside, no matter whether it’s about kids playing outside after school, or adult having an evening walk, but suddently looks like life is back

It’s not just the season, but the idea of having to change all the clocks and do our life on hour earlier/later/whatever, so now when we leave work it’s night, and when we make-up it’s dark, but there is enough light to commute to work.

The Whole daylight saving time is stupid, especially when switching to winter time

What’s on the image? Can you accept to talk about it with your boss?

There is a big difference between a photo of Dr OP giving an invited seminar about some advanced topic, and OP wearing a German WW2 outfit “for Carnaval”

I’d recommend you persevere with getting a lemmy.world one and use that as your main one.

I would advise against lemmy world and .ml, .world is already way too big, the day they fail, all lemmy will collapse. Place like lemm.ee or sopuli or Blahaj, or Fedia if you prefer mbin are way nicer.

That said, .ml works good enough to discover lemmy, don’t panic too much

Band camp sends you updates about artists/producer you bought from. Feel like it’s borderline scam, but may be a way

Which kind of games. From an Rpg perspective,

• Alice is missing a silent Rpg, which is played using instant messenging. That one is absolutely crazy, with a lot of potential for bleed

• Blade in the dark, which is basically the latest revolution in Rpg. And led to the FITD games, it kept the yes but partial success from previous generations of PBTA games, use long term actions (aka clock) for everything (same mechanics for opening a lock, seducing the princess or fighting a guard), and has this downtime phase which is more than just spending XP. It also has flashback mechanic letting you jump to the action and plan latter

• Mork Borg, the system is fine but banal. However, the weird aesthetic makes it a must have in a rpg lover collection

Do you speak the local language, if not start getting courses now, even if many person are fluent in english, not everyone will want to speak English. (You know the joke about Parisian who don’t know English if you start talking with them in English, but would switch to a perfect English if you have a slight foreign accent when speaking french)

Expect that even basic stuff won’t work the same way as you’re used too. It’s already an issue when moving between two European countries, even basic stuff like what you can legally find on a lease or how to get health coverage will drastically change.

In southern Europe people are pretty touchy/tactile and an America would feel sexually harrassed, Nordic Europe is the other way around with pretty distant people where an American would pass for way too touchy/friendly

Learn to ride a bike, and expect to walk way more than in the US, also remember that even though winter are milder, Europe is way far up north than the US
