Der Einstieg in den Journalismus ist oft hart und schlecht bezahlt. Glücklicherweise gibt es zwei Programme für junge Talente mit KV-Gehalt. @profil.at nimmt an beiden Programmen teil. Bitte teilt diese Infos mit jungen Journalistinnen und Journalisten, ich verlinke unten die Details.

Solche Debatten schockieren euch?
Bis vor 30-40 Jahren war das in unserem Bundestag normal!

Deswegen bin ich so froh über diesen Erfolg diese Woche:

Wir haben endlich das #Gewalthilfegesetz beschlossen!

Aber es bleibt viel zu tun!
Darum:

Grün wählen 💚🌻

Kickl ist ein Problem für Österreich. Aber vergessen wir eines nicht. Wir haben immer noch investigative Medien, eine unabhängige Justiz, eine starke Opposition, und eine wachsame Zivilgesellschaft. Illiberale Figuren haben nur die Macht, die man ihnen einräumt. Also: wachsam bleiben. Rückrat zeigen

I've been thinking about how AI and LLMs are changing what it means to be trustworthy - for a computer, for a business, and for an engineer

It probably feels liberating to be a little bit wrong, all of the time.

What an incredible piece from Patrick Fealey, an award-winning journalist and writer, who became homeless last year. I often think about how wide the gaps are in Britain's social security net compared with Germany's. But America is truly in a different league.

Each year I ask myself these 40 questions.

This will be my eleventh year. It's still one of my favorite rituals. It helps me see how phases of my life wax and wane.

Each year new translations come in. We're up to 30 languages! Thank you to all the contributors 🥰

Its literally embarrassing how boring it is this year. Makes me question if the general recommendation infrastructure is falling apart and behind. Thank you for making music discovery great for a couple of years 🙏
Touching to have Spotify celebrate the 1-year anniversary of my layoff by demonstrating that they could not, in fact, still do Wrapped just as well without me.

Quite a few repos on their GitHub account, but apart from the feed generator starter kit, nothing related to the actual feed generators.

Would be neat to see the innards.

There have been plenty of alternatives to Twitter since Musk's takeover (Threads, Mastodon, etc.). But why do I see BlueSky as the most promising approach? And how does this tie into why many of us originally fell in love with the World Wide Web?

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
Traffic from Bluesky to @bostonglobe.com is already 3x that of Threads, and we are seeing 4.5x the conversions to paying digital subscribers.

Alternativen zu Twitter gibt es seit Musks Übernahme genug (Threads, Mastodon ...). Doch warum ist BlueSky aus meiner Sicht der vielversprechendste Ansatz? Und was hat das mit dem zu tun, warum viele von uns sich ursprünglich ins WWW verliebt haben? (1/8)

Tom Friedman:
„What should Israel do to ensure that an attack like the one launched by Hamas never happens again? I don’t know. Whatever the answer is, it’s not mobilizing 360,000 traumatized Israeli reservists to launch into an urban war in one of the most densely populated places in the world.“

Jedes mal wenn ich zwischen Wien und München Pendel zeichnet sich das gleiche Bild, von Wien - Freilassing ist der Zug so gut wie immer auf die Minute pünktlich. Ab Freilassing geht dann immer mindestens eine Sache schief.

Deutschland braucht drigend mehr Wohnungen. Aber gebaut wird kaum noch. Wegen hoher Zinsen und Baukosten finden Kaufinteressierte und Bauunternehmen beim Preis nur noch selten zusammen. Der Markt bricht weg. In Q2: 80% weniger verkaufte Neubauwohnungen als 2021.
