  1. @DjityDjity I guess everyone / the general public is in their own kind of mental #war or #dilemma and that is a big #reason for being #physically or #morally #occupied / #busy / #distracted and #trying to figure it out, at the same time as other things that are over-arching #wars (so wars and people, inside wars and #people).

    And some people are just saying to themselves "I''m just glad it wasn't me ... and I'm not going to say that out-loud for anyone to hear because maybe that is bad".

  10. Dilemma. (Lad mig høre, hvad du tænker.)

    Forestil dig:
    - Du har købt en bog. (Godt for forfatteren.)
    - Du læser den og kan lide det - og den. (Godt for dig.)
    - Du tænker, at din gode ven, Y, også vil kunne lide at læse den.

    Hvad gør du?
    1. Giver eller udlåner din udgave af bogen til Y, så Y kan læse den?
    2. Anbefaler bogen til Y, så Y selv kan vælge at købe bogen eller låne den på biblioteket?
    3. Noget andet?

    Selv har jeg praktiseret både 1 og 2 - og sikkert også 3.

    Hvad er dilemmaet, tænker du måske?
    Jeg ser (mindst) ét men vil gerne vente med at dele det. Først er jeg nysgerrig på, hvad andre tænker.

    Hvad er dit svar? 1, 2 eller 3? Eller en blanding? Og - frem for alt - ser du et dilemma?

    Tak.

  11. USA bans flammable fabrics in children's sleepwear (16 CFR 1615-1616). Polyester is the common substitute. Yet washing synthetic fabric produces 35% of all microplastic pollution. Choi et al. found in 2021 that washing and drying knit polyester released 4 to 5 times as much as woven.

    Rock vs. hard place.

  12. 🤖 Ah, the eternal struggle of the modern techie: choosing between being a #human or just a cog in the #AI #machine. 🤔 Fear not, for #AI #tools are here to hold your hand while you pretend to be a "better engineer," all while keeping you slightly terrified of your silicon overlords. 😱✍️

    De serie Harald & Sonja: A Royal Dilemma bevat 'minder seks' dan de Nederlandse serie Máxima. Dat zegt regisseur Vibeke Idsøe van de Noorse serie tegen het ANP. De eerste twee afleveringen zijn op 3 januari te zien bij de EO op NPO 2 en op NPO Start.

While the EU is praised for its #environmentalpolicies, critics argue they hinder #business and push #tech companies to other regions. The increasing energy demands of AI infrastructure, coupled with Europe’s #greenenergy mandates, create a complex situation. cnbc.com/2025/12/27/europe-at- #tech #media #news

  15. A quotation from Bill Watterson

         CALVIN: Today at school, I tried to decide whether to cheat on my test or not. I wondered, is it better to do the right thing and fail … or is it better to do the wrong thing and succeed?
       On the one hand, underserved success gives no satisfaction … but on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either. Of course, most everybody cheats some time or other. People always bend the rules if they think they can get away with it. … then again, that doesn’t justify my cheating.
       Then I thought, look, cheating on one little test isn’t such a big deal. It doesn’t hurt anyone … but then I wondered if I was just rationalizing my unwillingness to accept the consequence of my not studying. Still, in the real world, people care about success, not principles … then again, maybe that’s why the world is in such a mess. What a dilemma!
         HOBBES: So what did you decide?
         CALVIN: Nothing. I ran out of time and had to turn in a blank paper.
         HOBBES: Anymore, simply acknowledging the issue is a moral victory.
         CALVIN: Well, it just seemed wrong to cheat on an ethics test.

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
    Calvin and Hobbes (1993-09-12)

  20. Horst, the self-proclaimed #bookworm, dramatically cancels his O'Reilly #subscription because, surprise, he can't read all the books at once 📚🚫. Now, instead of #unlimited access to knowledge, he's got unlimited #free #time to realize he wasn't going to read them anyway 🎉🤦‍♂️.

    Typisches Catch-22 Dilemma 😞

    "Das Buch Catch-22 beschreibt eine Situation, in der Geisteskranke vom Kriegsdienst freigestellt werden. Ein Antrag auf Freistellung wird aber als Zeichen offensichtlicher geistiger Gesundheit gesehen, weil Angst vor dem Kriegsdienst normal ist. Logischer Schluss: Ein Aussteigen ist nicht möglich."
