Is the “emergence of DeepSeek” really what raised doubts? Are we really sure there haven’t been lots of doubts raised previous to this? Doubts raised by intelligent people who know what they’re talking about?

protist@mander.xyzto Politics@beehaw.org•U.S., Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors to 'combat antisemitism'English11·6 months agoAt its core this has nothing to do with Israel, the Heritage Foundation is only using that as a pretext to subvert Wikipedia. Wikipedia is at present a source of evidence-based information that often runs counter to the far-right lies they want you to believe.
protist@mander.xyzto Politics@beehaw.org•What the fuck. No votes counted, and they've already called it for Utah.English3·8 months agoYou can ask “what if?” all you want, but that doesn’t make your imagined alternative real. The news media calls states when they’re confident in the outcome. Show me somewhere they got it wrong
protist@mander.xyzto Politics@beehaw.org•What the fuck. No votes counted, and they've already called it for Utah.English16·8 months agoNews orgs call states based on a combination of polls and vote counts. States that poll significantly in one direction or the other are typically called early in that direction because the outcome is not in doubt

AI is making things worse.English22·10 months agoThe Biden Admin just announced an executive order removing de minimis tax protections from large companies trying to exploit it to import large quantities of product, which is going to take a bite out of Shein and Temu’s business models.

MAGA Allies Think She's NutsEnglish24·10 months agoRemember how Trump’s inner circle from his last time around either all disavowed the man or have spent the last 3 years in courtrooms and bankruptcy proceedings?
protist@mander.xyzto Politics@beehaw.org•Lateness is not a moral failing, and punishment for it is systematic oppressionEnglish14·11 months agoI’ve managed people for a long time. I’ve helped develop and implement accomodations for people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, trauma history, mental health issues, and more. What you’re doing here is painting everyone with a disability with one brush, where the reality is people with disabilities have a wide variety of needs and wants.
I feel like you are coming into this conversation with a specific grievance about a specific meeting or group that’s starting without you. I’d challenge you to think inventively about how you can get your needs met while not externalizing your experience (“my dissatisfaction is everyone else’s fault”) and falling into resentment.
protist@mander.xyzto Politics@beehaw.org•Lateness is not a moral failing, and punishment for it is systematic oppressionEnglish50·11 months agoReading your headline, I was thinking I was going to agree with you here. People who have lower incomes or who lack transportation absolutely have more barriers to overcome to be on time, and I genuinely believe grace should be given e.g. when arriving to work.
But starting a large meeting on time is being ableist? I don’t know how else to put this…that sentiment is profoundly entitled. You want the entire group to wait for you because you had transportation difficulties? You want the entire group to extend the time they were planning on being on this meeting? What about people who have pre-scheduled rides who are going to have to leave on time? People who rely on family for transport?
I fully support giving grace to people who have transportation issues, and supporting them in getting caught up on anything they may have missed. I will never abide a person who’s not on time who expects the world to stop and wait for them and calls them “ableist” for just holding a meeting as planned.
