European Citizens' Initiative: Start Unconditional Basic Incomes (UBI) throughout the EU
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/014/public/#/screen/home
"Our aim is to establish the introduction of unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU which ensure every person’s material existence and opportunity to participate in society as part of its economic policy. This aim shall be reached while remaining within the competences conferred to the EU by the Treaties."

Finished my first week working for #Cosylab where our department is working on #astronomy and #space projects for #ESA (European Space Agency) and #ESO (European Southern #Observatory). We're using my favourite tools like C++, Qt and #Linux. Can't get much closer to perfection, or as the Japanese would say, #ikigai 😀 In particular, I'll be working on the control software for 39-metre #ELT - Extremely Large #Telescope planned to be finished in 2025, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-10fipc27w

"After everything that has been going on with the privacy crisis and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg going to Washington to speak with members of Congress, I felt that this video was timely. I think social media can be good but we must be careful with how we use it."

Question for non US people
Did you know we give all adults a number that determines what cars you can buy, where you can live and at many companies if you can be hired. This number was secret until we sued for the right to see it. In response companies made a secret second number they dont have to share that they can use for the same things.
The things that make the number bad include not having credit cards, not taking loans. To have a good number you have to have and use credit but not more than about 25% of the credit you have.
Most Americans think this is normal.

People fought and >died< for -- in large numbers in fact -- proper work contracts with job security, holidays, pension etc. The #digEconomy pushers in #corporateMedia (owned by oligarchs or controlled by them) urinate on these people's graves.

#gigEconomy is another stepping stone for oligarchs... back towards full feudalism. But DO NOT CALL IT "SLAVERY"!! Our "MASTERS" tell us it's a dirty word that MUST be eradicated.

Greetings @FreeTube ,
Thank you for adding localization support in FreeTube's newest update. And well, thank you for FreeTube in general; It's an awesome app! And it's amazing that it's still going strong, even now that Invidious is mostly abandoned.
I've just completed the Slovenian translation. Might need some proofreading, but at least in theory it's finished. I hope it can be included with the next update. :)
Take care!
