I try to contribute to things getting better, with humor, sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

  • Artificial intelligence is the key driver of the boom: 1,038 of the newly founded startups have a clear AI focus—more than one in three—and thus more than in all of 2025. The software sector remains by far the strongest industry, with 844 new startups. But the boom is also evident in other fields: Medicine (274) and the food sector (181) are among the sectors with the highest number of new startups—AI applications and related technological advances are also key drivers of development here.

    I wonder if the “fake it (with AI) until you make it” will have similar or worse success rate than before AI. Startups sure didn’t wait for AI to produce bullshit.







  • Adding for context that one reason for this is that Lemmy was created by radical (to remain consensual) leftists, and the default instance (also maybe the first big one) they administrate Lemmy.ml (ML stands for Marxist-Leninist) has the same leaning population.
    But, so far, afaik, the software itself is still neutral, so you can find instances and communities that fit your needs.
    However, this initial leaning is still going to surface from time to time even after spending time blocking the instances and communities you don’t want to see, as users can move around freely.


  • Becoming an elementary schoolteacher does not magically extract you from the culture you have been living in your whole life.
    It’s not a mass shooting job, it’s “shooting the student” that made her loose her work, according to the article.
    The reason I mentioned comedy TV shows, is that they are a good source of what’s consensual behavior for the time and place where they have been created. Those TV shows have this kind of behavior because they are also a normal behavior in society.
    Those shows are mostly American (but I have observed the same in France, Spain, and Japan), so it seems your are an exception there with your intolerance of this common human behavior.
