What is something the world would be better without?
  • @Phen True, Roger Rabbit would be so much better without her. :D

  • Germany explores 4-day workweek amid labor shortage
  • Well, 4x10h are not more than 10h a day, right? And if it is 4x9,25h (37h week), then you even are able to do 0,75h overtime per day, still within the bounds of law. At least that was my understanding.

  • Germany explores 4-day workweek amid labor shortage
  • @UndulyUnruly Oh, you are right on the commuting part. I did not think about that.
    Not so sure about the "time with family" argument, though. If I had to work 10h days I would not see my kids when I come home for 4 days. Now I see them every evening. Sure, on the other hand you get 3 WHOLE days to spend with them.
    Guess it comes down to personal preference. :)

    edit: But the idea behind the 4 day week after all is 4 x 8h, not 4x 10h. Because otherwise the productivity would not increase. And the article clearly states that this is the main goal.

  • EU-Lieferkettengesetz droht an Deutschland zu scheitern
  • Gab es in den letzten Jahren eigentlich überhaupt irgendeinen Vorschlag anderer Parteien, den die FDP nicht blockiert oder zumindest versucht hat abzuwehren?

  • Germany explores 4-day workweek amid labor shortage
  • @alphacyberranger Most "4 day week" offers that I read so far just spread out 40 hours of work to 4 days x 10h instead of 5 days x 8h. I don't see the point in that and I do not think that is what this study intended. :)

  • Adobe Photoshop's AI tools put women politicians in bikini bottoms and their male colleagues in suits
  • @Tristaniopsis I just wanted to generate some Bikini-wearing Pauline Hanson just for you. But when I looked for fitting source material, I found her in panties doing a car wash. Thanks for that. :D

  • Adobe Photoshop's AI tools put women politicians in bikini bottoms and their male colleagues in suits
  • @pixxelkick Thank you! This article clearly is written completely biased. Photohops AI generator tries to interpret the whole picture to expand the cropped image. So in case of the original Georgie Purcell photo, the AI sees "woman, tank top, naked shoulders and arms, water in the background", so of course it tries to generate clothing it thinks fitting to wear at seaside or a beach.
    I just tried the same with a male model in tank top on a beach and it did not magically put him in a suit, it generated swim wear.
    If I use a picture on Georgie Purcell in more formal clothing, it generates more formal cloting.

    But, to be fair, this quote from the article:

    But what it proves is that Adobe Photoshop’s systems will suggest women are wearing more revealing clothing than they actually are without any prompting. I did not see the same for men.

    is indeed true. In general pictures of women tend to generate more "sexy" output than pictures of men.

    And, of course, NINE clearly edited the image badly and could have chosen another generated output with no effort at all.

  • Shock Waves (1977)
  • @LaurenceWolse Thanks, that sounds awesome! Reminds me a bit of Dead Snow (2009), which was crazy funny.

  • How Bizarre - OMC
  • @WanderingCrow REading the title was enough to have it spinning in my head. :D

  • Tire Dust Makes Up the Majority of Ocean Microplastics, Study Finds
  • @Jason2357 My understanding is that if the base materials of the tire are taken from rice and soy, they should be compostable when abrasion sets them apart from the tire and releases them into nature. But I might be mistaken here.

    @salarua @Mojojojo1993

  • Tire Dust Makes Up the Majority of Ocean Microplastics, Study Finds
  • @Mojojojo1993 I know that at least Goodyear already presented a tire made of 70% sustainable materials. Combine that with their ideas for airless tires and we might be on a good way. I guess other tire manufacturers are researching in this fields already as well.

  • Gute Halbzeit Bilanz der Ampel
  • Unabhängig von der Studie kann man unter https://fragdenstaat.de/koalitionstracker/ mitverfolgen, welche Punkte genau umgesetzt wurden und was sich dahinter verbirgt.
    Damit kann man dann besser gewichten, wie komplex die umgesetzten Aufgaben sind/waren. Spoiler: In den Bereichen Digitales und Bildung wurde bisher kein einziges Ziel umgesetzt. Bei Umwelt, Kima & Verkehr sind recht einfache Dinge umgesetzt, die wirklich spannenden Punkte lassen auf sich warten.

  • Niche communities you're in that haven't had much interaction? EDIT: Thanks for all your suggestions!
  • @smeikx Same with @rollerblading. The sub is pretty big on reddit, but no one is looking for it here, apparently.

    @pm_me_your_trash
    I am currently using the Xiaomi Mi 9T for the exact reason that it was one of the last phones to not have a hole in the display for the camera.
    Yes, Xiaomi stopped giving it software updates, but you can install Lineage OS if you want to upgrade to newer Android versions.
    Apart from that the phone still runs very smooth with everyday use and there is not much I am missing.

  • Smartphones without a selfie camera?
  • @Hyperreality @stebo02 no, there are extra proximity sensors for that feature.

  • ARD-DeutschlandTrend: AfD erreicht neuen Bestwert
  • @taladar Ich fürchte, da überschätzt du den durchschnittlichen Unionswähler. Die Information, dass die Union an der aktuell miserablen Lage Schuld ist, ist da größtenteils nicht angekommen. Das Denken ist da eher ein "Die Ampel versaut alles. Unter Helmut Kohl ging es mir noch gut und das Leben war einfacher. Ich will die Union wieder".

  • Music @kbin.social CrystalEYE @kbin.social

    New single from Austrian band Bilderbuch has a live drum beat that hits so hard it could be The Prodigy

    Listen to “Softpower” by Bilderbuch on YouTube. That beat is pure hard power, unlike the song title may suggest.
