@npub1vse…v7q2 Does Czech wikipedia have trouble with far-right entryists like French wikipedia?

I, for one, have started buying Chilean wine, since European farmers feel entitled to riot, break shit and then get more public subsidies for their trouble.
(Not that I drink that much wine)

In the end I voted Green at EU, national and regional levels. Important to support good climate policy at EU level in these days of intense reactionary backlash. In the regional election, everyone has decided to make them a referendum on traffic calming, so Green again it was. Then might as well vote Green all the way :)
50 min in line to vote, but it seems like I was there exactly at rush hour, the line was shorter when I got out.

How do LLMs change the nature of writing? (My thoughts here)
1. It becomes easy to churn out lots of low quality content.
2. But nobody wants to read all that shit. Ultimately this will eliminate many genres of routine writing: no more cover letters, work emails can become slack messages with just the bullet points.
3. Reliable/reputable writing outlets will remain in high demand.

@npub1vse…v7q2 Haven't kept track of the propaganda, is this still an SMO or is it an existential war?

Tram tracks coming out of a depot are a menace. Just slipped on them on my bike. The chain derailed in a nasty way, had to spend like 10 min fiddling with it until it was back on. As you can imagine my hands were black with grease at the end of the process. Great fun.

@npub1hgd…6p66 @npub1k60…x0lp I've heard the fines for parking bad enough to stop a tram are really high. Didn't know it happened that often.

@npub1vse…v7q2 Is he rather a libertarian or a road socialist
Anyway good illustration of the limits of "evidence-based", that only works if everyone broadly shares the same goals.

@npub1vse…v7q2 There's apparently a whole pseudo-science industry out there based on these customer surveys.
