24 March 1930 | Dutch Jewish girl, Louise van den Berg, was born in Bandung (then Dutch East Indies, today Indonesia). She moved to the Hague.
She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in December 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
There is an audio file going viral on social media where it sounds like J. D. Vance is saying Elon Musk is tanking the US economy.
There is no confirmation that this audio is real, and it is important to remember, that with AI, anyone can now generate artificial voices of politicians.
To me the intonation of the voice sounds artificial, with unnatural pauses. Moreover, I doubt that Vance would express himself using these exact words.
Likely AI generated, I believe.

Can’t stop thinking of @RMiddleton’s motto, “settle for less”.
Been practicing it for ages, and I truly think it is the key to everything (and of course it applies first and foremost to those who aren’t in need).
And it works even better in French, « se contenter de moins », because of « contentment ».

@clarablackink@writing.exchange @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green About 2 years ago I decided on, "Settle for less," as a new motto. My goodness, one friend had such a hard time with this.Mastodon.ART
😬 Interesting that my ‘Decrease Doings’ step (step D of my A-Z steps to a better world linked below) starts by highlighting the ‘Less is More’ phrase (that Rob’s friend used but appears to be seen as toxic positivity) and then highlights ‘contentment’ in the second paragraph as per the beautiful French phrase.
I too am speaking from honest experience. I genuinely do feel like I’m benefitting by decreasing my doings. I feel richer for it.
It’s very hard to share your own experiences without being seen as ‘giving advice’. I hope mine is only advice to those who seek it, and is not toxic positivity to others, because it is my genuine lived experience.

Join me in taking step D, “Decrease Doings”, in the A-Z of simple steps to a better world: Less is less, but means more!Ethical Revolution
I can't think of a more important idea or way of living thanks settling for less, for those, of course, who are well able to do it.

Small shack by the river with some weird metal shelf jammed in the door. Very crooked and about to fall over. Probably should pull it down, throw into the trailer and use for the sauna. Luckily no asbestos roof on this (but probably thats also why it looks like that now).
No idea what it was used for. It's right next to a bigger one.

As a kid I learned to write software on the Commodore 64. Each transistor inside the Graphics processor was 5 micrometers. That is 5000 nanometers.
The next A20 chip used in the upcoming iPhone 18 will have 2 nanometer transistors, effectively making modern day processors 2500 times smaller than the processors of the 80s.
There is a reason, powerful computers now fit in a trouser pocket.
