Many talented translators I know quit, short-term or long-term. And then there are talented people who would never even consider to work in translation, because the pay is so absymal …

News Publishers Are Now Blocking The Internet Archive, And We May All Regret It Last fall, I wrote about how the fear of AI was leading us to wall off the open internet in ways that would hurt everyone. At the time, I was worried about how companies were conflating legitimate …

Unregulierte KI-Konzerne ruinieren das offene Ökosystem: „Now major news publishers are actively blocking the Internet Archive—one of the most important cultural preservation projects on the internet—because they’re worried AI companies might use it as a sneaky “backdoor” to access their content.“

You can do it, Mari! We believe in you!!! 🤞🤞🤞

Das ist krass Dialekt …?

Herzlichen Glückwunsch und guten Appetit 😉

This really does sound like a horror. It’s a metaphor for itself, or something.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I love that you love so many things I enjoy as well 😍

So und nicht anders - wobei, da fehlen Schwanzmeisen ;)

Otsuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!

I think I said this a while ago while arguing with people who said that bots can do law / medicine.

The difficulty in practice is not simply knowing the symptoms of a clinical presentation. It is understanding that you have to ask people questions to make sure you understand what is happening.

In a house, robots are painting, writing and playing music, with smiles on their faces. Outside, in the pouring rain, a human empties a wheelie bin into a refuse vehicle while another sweeps the street with a glum expression on her face. A third human is cycling down the road with a Just Eat food delivery on his back, while a fourth walks along the pavement, arms filled with packages from Amazon.

Ich fand Victors Selbstmitleids-Lamento ehrlichgesagt ziemlich anstrengend …

It is now likely that the Japanese government will seek to amend the postwar constitution in order to officially re-militarise.

Re: no 2 - that’s one thing Japanese and German have in common (for the moment)

I don't mean to seem alarmed, but it appears Google's book search function is, just...gone.

In a sane country it would be a huge deal, front page news, that a privately owned utility that millions researches, from journalists to scholars, rely on every day to advance knowledge can just disappear.

Really like your solutions for kirakira and keshiki! Taking notes for myself :)

Autorin Teresa Bücker zu Teilzeitstreit: „40 Stunden sind zu viel“ Das Recht auf Teilzeit abzuschaffen, wäre ein Angriff auf die Gleichstellung, sagt die Buchautorin. Sie fordert ein neues Verständnis von Vollzeit.

Auf dem Bild ist ein farbenprächtiger Vogel zu sehen, der zwischen großen, sattgrünen Blättern hervorschaut. Sein Kopf und seine Brust leuchten in einem intensiven Rot. Der Schnabel ist kurz, kräftig und gelblich gefärbt. Teile des Gefieders an den Seiten schimmern grünlich-gelb. Die schwarze Einfärbung um die Augen lässt es so wirken, als schaue der Vogel sehr ernst bis zornig.

Wir alle, kleiner Vogel, wir alle.
