meds metaphor
Methylphenidate is basically a sustain pedal. 
@Bibliothecaris Something that strikes me as odd is that the study references other studies based on self-reported involvement in accidents, but does not seem to consider whether reporting bias could have played a role in this.
Since ADHD often co-occurs with autism (at least according to institutional classifications), and autistic people are generally known to be more likely to speak honestly about matters (and therefore may be less likely to obscure their involvement in an accident), that seems like a pretty important factor to look at?

The time when VRN was really pissed at DB Vertrieb and it *showed* in the press release...
https://www.vrn.de/verbund/presse/pressemeldungen/pm/022653/index.html
> Leider müssen wir aktuell feststellen, dass die Deutsche Bahn sich nicht an die im VRN beschlossenen kundenfreundlichen Regelungen gebunden fühlt.
> DB Vertrieb [...] möchte gezielt die Kunden auf das Medium Smartphone zwingen.
> Der VRN bedauert dieses Vorgehen des DB-Konzerns und möchte sich bei allen VRN-Kunden, die ihre Abos bei der DB abgeschlossen haben, für die damit verbundenen Probleme entschuldigen.
> Wie auch in anderen Bereichen des täglichen Lebens gibt es auch im ÖPNV offenbar gute Gründe, nicht bei überregional agierenden Großkonzernen zu kaufen, sondern bei Anbietern vor Ort.

Friend shared a chonky landing page for a Major Cloud Vendor's offerings...and y'all, I don't think anyone has internalised how high on their own supply the contemporary JS community is.
It takes some cirrostratus levels of disconnectedness to believe your `chatbot.js` is fine when it clocks in at ~750K (wire, 3MB unzipped) INCLUDING ITS OWN COPY OF REACT, lodash, every polyfill you've ever heard of, and 269 embedded `data:image/...` URLs.

Dit maakt het argument van overbevolking niet alleen onjuist, maar ook racistisch. Toch is het een argument dat maar vaak blijft terugkeren in de klimaatbeweging en zeker niet alleen maar door mensen die zichzelf achter een fascistische partij scharen. [5/5]

Hoe herkennen we ecofascisme? Vaak wordt beweerd dat de klimaat- en ecologische crisis door overbevolking komt, maar dit klopt niet. Volgens Oxfam is de rijkste 10% van de bevolking verantwoordelijk voor meer dan de helft van de wereldwijde broeikasgasuitstoot. [3/5]

Ecofascisme geeft gemarginaliseerde groepen, voornamelijk mensen van kleur in het Mondiale Zuiden, de schuld van de klimaat- en ecologische crises. Hoe kunnen we ecofascisme in de klimaatbeweging herkennen, buiten de deur houden en zorgen dat het geen kans krijgt? [1/5]
@0x4d6165 I wonder what would happen if people started doing graffiti that pretends to be advertising

absolutely wild that people will rail against graffiti but are fine with advertisements being plastered all over everything. corporations have more rights than people

Thursday is more of a Monday than Monday is. Because you keep thinking it's gotta be Friday by now but it's not. You'd never think that about Monday. Everyone knows Monday is Monday and frankly we deserve it. But no one *deserves* Thursday. Not like this.

If you generate a lot of fresh Let's Encrypt certificates today, and don't enable auto-renewal, they will expire on December 25th, giving you a good excuse to leave your family dinner early.

It's now too late for Marcellus Williams, but it's not too late for Robert Roberson. On Oct 17, Texas will execute him for a crime he absolutely did not commit. Make it a big deal. https://youtu.be/ifpEfj1_hzQ
@theresnotime@fox.nexus Hm, to me "pro bono" also implies "after consideration of whether it is a cause to support" whereas "for free" doesn't necessarily

Hoeveel jaar draaide de vroemvroempartij aan de knoppen?
"Bastiaanssen denkt dat beleidsmakers zich niet goed genoeg realiseren dat een kwart van de huishoudens in Nederland geen auto heeft."
Niet realiseren? Die mensen hebben gewoon niet voor succes gekozen. Vroem! Vroem!

Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, who silences African voices on Meta, displaces us native Hawaiians here with 1000-acre mega-bunkers, *owns* a freshwater reservoir as we die from poisoned H20, embodies the US empire in Hawaii -rich settler colonizers ethnic cleansing us indigenous.
GDPR, transmisia, positive-ish legal ruling
The Court of Justice of the EU has ruled that under the GDPR, the asylum documentation of a refugee in Hungary must be corrected to reflect their identified gender (as opposed to assigned-by-government gender). There are some caveats to it however.
While evidence of its correctness may be expected to process the change, that evidence requirement *may not* include having undergone gender reassignment surgery, as this would be in conflict with the European Convention on Human Rights.
A major factor in the ruling was that the refugee was granted asylum on the basis of being trans in the first place, and this served as an implicit recognition by the government that their identified gender is correct, from a GDPR perspective.
The full details of the ruling are here: https://gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=CJEU_-_C-247/23_-_Deldits&mtc=today
