Your remember when Germany claimed that Greece doesn't work enough? in c/yurop@lemm.ee

Don't trust me, see The Independent then. Jokes aside, thanks for the correction, I've always been unsure which one it is.

Sorry, but is anyone here claiming that this "mental labor" is quantifiable? If so, would sound absurd to me.

This is drifting off, but number of visits is not an indication of healthcare success. Perceived improvement could be.

I understand you're fine with measuring everything in revenue. Fortunately, human happiness and satisfaction are not measured in dollars.

I'm working in software. Don't tell me that I'm more productive when I work in finance than when I work in social services. Because that's what the numbers show. It's just that in finance your work generates more revenue and gives you a bigger salary. That's what productivity measures. And people in many places around the world, including Southern Europe do not really care about revenues as long as they have enough to live well. That's how they end up with lower "productivity". Of course in other sectors it's not ai immediate, but it is the same. If you are a farmer and sell to your community, you're not productive. If you export to retail chains you're very productive.

Thanks for putting the effort to detailing this.

I agree for the rest, but wait to see how automotive failing to reform itself will lead to much much higher unemployment in the South of Germany.

I have nothing against Germans or automotive. I have a lot against local feudals and communities that are fine with them as long as they can call themselves a working class. If your slave owner is richer than someone else's this doesn't really make you richer, you are still as dependent as a slave.

So working 50% distorts the data by reporting 50% of the hours?

Around Germany and Greece there were other countries. They went by names like frugal four and PIIGS. They forced "austerity" and stricter working hours onto indebted countries to save their own banks.

The colours on this map show well that northern "productivity" is not about working hours, but about other topics that did not get addressed. Among these topics are also tax heavens (think the Netherlands) and money laundering (think Austria's special relationship with Russia).

So it was nothing more than poor political leadership without vision.

It's not a straightforward task. And it's controversial is you want to avoid multiple registrations.

It's been around for many years now and famously was used in the consultations for the constitution of Iceland. We also used it in Bulgaria back in 2013 and had a community of more than 3000 users, but it lost traction due to being ignored by politicians and controversial debates.

You can see more recent activity on https://www.citizens.is/ , particularly the impact and news sections.

Ratio of Russian military vehicle losses Aug 2023 - Feb 2025. in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

Russian advancements slow down (www.dialog.ua)
 

In the last three months, the pace of the Russian army's offensive in Ukraine has been falling. In February 2025, the Russian army managed to occupy 192 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory. This is 4 times less than in the peak period in autumn 2024.

The OSINT project DeepState, which monitors the situation on the front line, has drawn attention to the occupiers' loss of momentum.

According to OSINTers, the current pace of the Russian army has already equalled that of July 2024. At the same time, the Russians are taking very heavy casualties as they try to advance.

If your area is not contaminated, I guess it's worth a shout.

A competition on word disambiguation (projects.sketchengine.eu)
 

We invite participants to benchmark systems for word sense induction (WSI) across multiple languages. Unlike traditional approaches, this task evaluates WSI without relying on predefined sense inventories, offering a more theoretically plausible framework for understanding word meanings.

Participants will be provided with:

  • A set of polysemous target headwords.
  • Sentences containing these words in diverse contexts.

The goal is to cluster the sentences according to the sense in which the target word is used.

A different set of headwords and contexts will be provided for each of the following languages: English, Czech, German, Spanish, Estonian, Chinese

For each language, there will be approximately 25 headwords with 1500+ contexts each.

!blacksea@feddit.bg - A new group about the Black Sea (feddit.bg)
 

The Black Sea is simultaneously a very fragile ecosystem and an important economical gateway. Many interests mix here, and this is part of the reason for the wars and protests that surround its shores.

This is a group for people interested in it, be it because they live next to it, or because they are inspired by its characteristics. Conversations in all regional languages are welcome alongside English.
