#Starmer’s goodbye gift to Britain: a #US pharma deal that could be more lethal than Covid | Aditya Chakrabortty | The Guardian

Everyone knows #Trump is a psychopath who only ever cares about himself but Starmer was cowardly not to stand up for the #NHS against this form of imperialism which will result in hundreds of thousands of deaths here.

Stop posting pictures of your kids online. Just stop. Not for edutech, not for fun, and certainly not on *any* social media. It's really bad parenting. Data is never safe online and your kids aren't old enough to make informed consent for you to use their images.

"It is, of course, an extraordinarily effective estrogenic agent, but that is the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known patient*, and so rapidly hypergolic that no induction period has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as syringes, examination tables, cotton wool, and nursing staff..."

There's a spiel about job listings I regularly give to students who are going on the tech job market (an utterly miserable and exploitative experience, the way we treat new entrants to the field…seriously…ugh). The students never quite believe me when I give it, but I give it anyway — and I'll now be using this job listing as yet another piece of evidence (if it’s real, which it may not be!).

The upshot of the spiel is “job listings usually don't mean what they say, no matter how clearly they say it, and you can’t really read them literally.”

“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product.”

The #Electricity generation price is negative again, with over 85% being provided through renewable sources. Over 5% is being used to store energy in reservoirs to be used later and currently the #UK is even a net exporter of energy to other countries, which is an infrequent occurrence.

@ariadne @m Have you tried running `make clean`?

I see everyone looking for VPN services to move to, after yet another for-profit leadership turns out to be fascist*.

Meanwhile, actors in the cyberdomain, as well as AI grifters, have figured out how to do this: operational relay box networks or ORBs.

Basically, VPN-by-botnet.

This gave me an idea.

Instead of spending money on another VPN company, I’d rather spend money on voluntarily adding nodes to a have a federated anonymising VPN.

Yes, obviously I mean spending my money to set up TOR nodes. Duh!

So, does anyone know of a non-profit I could donate money to, to have them spin up and maintain Tor nodes?

*) capitalism is a gateway drug to fascism, and techbros are especially vulnerable.

Hey Fediverse! After leaving Instagram behind, I'm making this my new home. Time for a proper #introduction. #neuhier

I'm Fabian, a graphic designer and artist from Leipzig, Germany. I'll be sharing projects like books, prints, a board game system I'm tinkering with, and some journal entries from my archive.

I speak German and a bit of Korean, but will mostly post in English.

Glad to be here! :)

asking for #advice again, sorry.

i'm now officially #diabetic (type 2) and looking to control it with diet. (hence the last request for advice.)

information about nutrition on the internet has always been a hot mess, more so in these days of so-called "Al".

can anyone recommend an _authoritative_ source on the amount of carbohydrate in basic foods?

searching online i see *wildly* different numbers for, eg, potato.

edit: okay, wow! thank you, everyone! You'll all wonderful! Love this place!
