@fraxinas@chaos.social (Aside, it observes that plant-based alternatives were not 'associated with risk' - even though these are typically processed in very similar ways to the 'risk groups' mentioned there. This alone should call into question their conclusion of "higher consumption of UPFs increases the risk [...]", because it strongly suggests a confounding factor.)

@fraxinas@chaos.social This unfortunately seems to be yet another 'correlation study' that just observes that two things appear together, and makes no attempt to explain their relation (or provide any evidence that there's a *causal* link), if the abstract is any indication. Likewise makes no mention of poverty.

The data isn't entirely *useless*, but it also doesn't support "highly-processed foods are bad for you" either. Most nutrition studies are like this, and it's a big part of why I'm suspicious of the claims.

My Wayland implementation is in JS; it doesn't use libwayland, so I've had to figure out a lot of things from scratch because there's quite a lot about the protocol that just isn't documented. But once you can send and mmap file descriptors (two things Node.js does not do natively), it's very much viable!

The protocol is honestly not that complicated to implement. The problem really is just the documentation.

Bread experiment progress: dough is completed and will proof overnight at room temperature. Significantly less yeast than normal, likewise much less salt (about a quarter of supermarket bread). Very curious if this works; if it does, I will have tasty and very low-salt bread!

Implementing-Wayland-from-scratch implementation progress: I now have an (incorrectly sized) rectangle rendering on my screen!

Like, the claim is that this campaign does more than just election campaigning, and if so, that would be good.

But the framing everywhere as "we can gain political power by getting poor people to vote, and we can organize them" (as opposed to "we will support them in organizing themselves") is not exactly confidence-inspiring. Smells of saviour politics.

If you want to get poor people to vote, have you considered showing solidarity with them by materially supporting them and acknowledging the source of their misery, rather than pretending that poverty is a bipartisan issue and all you need to do is convince people to go vote?
