@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caA nice obituary from December 31, 2024 about my Great Uncle Herman Neufeld (my mom's Uncle).
I never really knew him as I grew up 4000km away... but he had a positive impact on people, especially Jamaican workers, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"Herman, who died Dec. 31, became very involved in the Niagara Workers Welcome services and other outreach programs. He considered the farmworkers his friends and neighbours, and treated them as such."

@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioI share this because it’s important to understand that the impulse to turn to AI seems strongest when a worker is stretched thin, burnt out, sick, or otherwise unable to meet a deadline.
I’ve seen this before, and experienced it myself in 2024 / early 2025 before I quit using LLMs.
I think those of us who are against LLMs and want to reduce society’s dependence on these tools need to contend with that and look for solutions both for individual situations and on a larger scale.

Dazu gab es zwei Studien von ver.di (2020 und 2024). Von einem Kanzler, der die Bezeichnung und das Amt verdient, würde ich erwarten, dass er selbst oder jemand aus seinem Team die 40seitige Broschüre liest und ihn, den Kanzler dazu berät.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeFound an old power bill while cleaning up. In the end of 2018 I was paying 9.05 c/kWh for the first 600 kWh and 10.94 above.
Now it's 15.1 and 17.0.
The rate of increase was very much nonlinear though: from October 2018 to October 2024 (six years) the tier 1 rate only climbed by 27%.
It went up 10.5% in 2024 and 20.7% in 2025 alone.
