I have mixed feelings about this, can anyone comment? (beehaw.org)

Description: a toilet door with a multigender symbol and a disabled symbol. Text below the symbols reads "Inclusive| Ira tāngata katoa".

For context, this is the disabled toilet in the main art gallery in my country's biggest city. There are the standard male toilet and female toilet right there as well.

Edit: sorry, image upload isn't working for me. Basically the one disabled toilet has been turned into an inclusive gender and disability toilet. I love it that there is a gender inclusive bathroom but I don't love it that they siloed it into the disability accessible toilet instead of renovating a new one or changing one of the 4 standard ones instead or as well.

Women less likely than men to be given CPR in public places, research finds (medicalxpress.com)
 

Bystanders are less likely to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to women than men, particularly if the emergency takes place in a public area, according to research presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress. The study also shows that in private locations older people, especially older men, are less likely to receive CPR.

The researchers don't know what is causing this but it really troubles me.

Why can't we shake the gloom? It's more than inflation or higher prices. in c/politics@beehaw.org

Thanks, interesting stats in this article.

Just a guess but climate change events (and corresponding headlines) have really ramped up in the last three years.

And as the saying goes, there are no pockets in a shroud.

I find they make it harder to read and as I'm under data restrictions it would be nice to not load them.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I know the lemmy software has a lot of limitations too so maybe this is one of them.

We need [Gen AI] literacy like media literacy in c/technology@beehaw.org

I think the people who really need a crash course in AI literacy are the people my age and older.

I've already heard at least one horror story about someone's boss trying to include a ChatGPT-sourced, error riddled submission paper in a sensitive bid.

Japan may take China to WTO over Fukushima-driven seafood import ban in c/news@beehaw.org

This is something I don't really like about the WTO.

If a populace doesn't want some product in their country you shouldn't force them to have it.
