La mauvaise blague: 72 départements dirigés par LR refusent d’appliquer la revalorisation du RSA, un coup de pouce royal de... 1,7% au 1er avril. "Nos collègues plutôt de gauche vont faire la même chose", estime Jean-Marc Roze (Marne) sur RTL. Raté. "Comment peut-on, par cette annonce, pointer du doigt cette revalorisation pourtant dérisoire face à l’inflation?", répond son collègue PS Stéphane Troussel.

I've seen this query a few times and it took me a while to realise, there is actually a sensible answer to it.

#mastodon is a lot more #european than almost any other social network and that skews the perspective away from events in the USA.

You mention #freesoftware as an example but it's actually one that validates the point.

Free Software is much better known in #Europe than it is in the #US

I hadn't really heard of the person you mention, now maybe I should, but I have to keep my eye on the ball in our own game first.

Bear with me on this. I prepared to be proved wrong. This is just something I'm interested in and trying to understand.

Allemagne : Tesla coupe les vivres aux travailleurs de sa giga-factory en congés maladie
humanite.fr/monde/berlin/allem

À Grünheide, pas de syndicat, pas de convention collective et donc pas de 35 heures, comme c’est la norme; la multinationale de #Musk remet en question rétroactivement les certificats médicaux des travailleurs, leur demande de divulguer leurs diagnostics et de lever le secret médical.

Quand on pense que les pays européens se tirent la bourre pour faire installer des usines #Tesla. Tout est bon pour casser le modèle #social européen "au nom de l'emploi" !

PS: Je pose la question d'un point de vu technique et #social. Donc si vous êtes employé de ces registrars, je veux bien savoir comment sont traitées la diversité et les #femmes au sein de ces entreprises, au delà de ce qu'ils disent sur leur site web, vous pouvez me le dire en MP si cela vous va mieux.
Je pose la question car #Chtitedev étudie l'achat de son #nom_de_domaine et, chtitedev oblige, ce serait top que notre groupe ne finance pas indirectement des entreprises néfastes pour les minorités. #ovh #gandi #infomaniak #bookmyname #scaleway #Netim #registrar

One after another, callers on a telephone town hall with U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga pressed the Michigan Republican about possible cuts to #Social #Security.

“We worked our entire life,” one said. “But we can’t get any help because we can’t get through to anybody.”

Huizenga pledged throughout the meeting: “Let me just reiterate, Social Security is not being touched.”
Similar exchanges have played out across the political battleground of Michigan and elsewhere in the U.S. in recent days,
as widespread cuts prompt fears among constituents about the popular program,
which provides monthly benefits to retirees and some children.

It’s left Republicans scrambling to reassure voters and play down Musk’s comments about Social Security and his ability to make cuts.

At a fiery in-person town hall in Asheville, North Carolina, one of the first questions Rep. Chuck Edwards fielded was on how he would
“ensure the protection of our Social Security benefits.”

After the question was read, the room of about 300 people erupted in applause.

While Trump has repeatedly said he “will not cut Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid benefits,” the administration has begun layoffs affecting over 10% of the Social Security Administration workforce and the closure of dozens of offices nationwide.

The GOP accuses Democrats of “fear-mongering” on the matter.

This paper using gene sequences to track linguistic 'capacity' is from a #Chomskyite perspective (eg Tattersall among authors) pinning #language #evolution to #genetic #mutation!

But even chimps and bonobos have significant 'capacity' so the key question would be #social conditions which liberate that capacity.

We know from the #ochre record that #ritual culture had become #PanAfrican by 140,000 years ago. This date needs to catch up! They have shell beads in Morocco already.

The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…

Dopo il coinvolgimento diretto di Mark Zuckerberg ed Elon Musk nel progetto ideologico e politico di Donald Trump, si è parlato di fuga dai social: C’è vita oltre le piattaforme commerciali, con alternative libere, decentralizzate, trasparenti e senza algoritmi di profilazione?

Ne parlerò on line con Angelo #Romano di @valigiablu (antropologo e giornalista)
