In the Netherlands a number of cities were banning fossil fuel for deliveries in the city. It was in planning for years, easing into implementation.

Our new government just scrapped all of those plans because the largest party doesn't believe in climate change, and another party in the coalition is the "farmer's movement" party and opposes environmental regulations.

I work at a company big into AI. We build our own models. Our senior management drank the Kool-Aid. We don't have search on our Intranet any more, just LLM chatbots.

Our TLS certificate expired last week on our main web page. I tried to find the contact details for the team responsible and the thing just hallucinated e-mail addresses.

Needless to say, I'm less excited than you.

Sorry what's the g-word?

From the study:

Between 2015 and 2019, following discussions between public sector employers and trade unions, Iceland saw two major public sector trials of a shorter working week for no loss in pay.

The article is unclear, but the introduction on the study says:

Between 2015 and 2019, following discussions between public sector employers and trade unions, Iceland saw two major public sector trials of a shorter working week for no loss in pay.

I used this movie as the basis for at least three school assignments in high school. Brilliant.

I can't believe that nobody mentioned her pants. They are πŸ”₯

I mean.... if something is illegal but the penalties are low or enforcement nonexistent then it's more like a recommendation. Fines become a "cost of doing business".

I totally agree. In Holland we have woon corporaties, literally "companies for places to live". Of course, these have struggled in the face of decades of center right, pro-business governmental policies.

Meh. I had much better luck with corporations than private landlords. The people working for corporations generally want to do a good job and keep people happy. Owners want to minimize costs and invade your privacy to make sure you aren't causing too much wear and tear, since that's money otherwise going in their pocket.

Both will end up with shitty carpet and cheap appliances, of course.

UK intentionally omitted from consideration.

The only nukes actually owned by a European country are French, which just disregarded the winners of the election and are ruled by a center right/fascist coalition. We're fucked.
