I was excited to read this study until I got to the sample...all men. So while the headline generalizes the findings, they actually have no idea about how exercise changes saturated fat metabolism in women because they did not study women. When reading studies, always look at the sample. Even today women are being excluded from health studies.

I would love if all the people who did foss stuff because they like working with and helping other people moved to instances specifically having that in their rules, that way we could just block out all the foss instances that have people who are hostile because they only care about the product rather than the community and ecosystem.
The more I see of this (and thanks to blocking a bunch of domains I don't see these things often) the more I understand the issues people have with the foss environment.

I promise you, there are many many people out there wo will instead of yelling you for using proprietary software, will sit down with you, talk about what you need and want, and make a few suggestions for foss replacements so you can get back your freedom as a user. They will understand that sometimes you need features and that using something proprietary is unavoidable and they would hate that, but they wouldn't shame you for doing so. They are really in it to move away from the stuff that holds us as a society back, and they want it to be a smooth transition for all of us.

If you hate foss environments because they're just not that way, I promise you, there are other places that are. It's not foss as a whole, and we would hate to see you avoid foss because of those toxic people that most of us don't like either *sigh*

passively approving of injustice is participating in it

Never ceases to stump me that we have the technology to kill 99.95% of airborne viruses, proven to work, non-invasive, cheap to deploy and install, and is produced at scale already and we just like - collectively - kind of just don't really use it.

HEPA-grade air filtration is proven, cheap, and makes everyone's lives strictly better. It, like, makes zero fiscal sense for governments not to mandate its use in all covered public spaces ASAP.

One of the things that the Stack Overflow brouhaha demonstrates is that it doesn’t matter if a service was founded by people trusted by the community (Atwood and Spolsky) and was broadly community-led. If it’s a VC-funded startup, they will sell out their users at some point.

apparently there are rumors of lix being “lesbian nix”* and I can only say that were this the case, I would expect the project to be entirely coated in queer iconography down to a bright pink color scheme

Sufficiently Advanced Bodging™ is indistinguishable from having used the correct pinout.

Er zijn nog steeds mensen die geloven dat je nooit klappen krijgt van de ME als je zelf geweldloos bent, met andere woorden, klappen krijgen = eigen schuld.

Die mensen moeten eens wat vaker buiten komen.

Here's a reminder, EVs are not here to save the environment, they are here to save the car industry.

De universiteit Leiden adverteert vandaag met mij op Facebook. De werkelijkheid is dat ik al 8 jaar geen voet meer in die universiteit heb gezet (en voor het maken van bijv. dit filmpje hebben ze me nooit enige steun gegeven).

A two-year study with over half a million children aged 0-5 finds nigh-irrefutable evidence that COVID-19 was behind the 2022 surge of RSV infections and hospitalizations.

It's not immunity debt, it's immunity theft. COVID-19 damages the immune and respiratory symptoms, leaving the body less capable of fending off other pathogens and resulting in more severe downstream infections.

"Immunity debt" is disinformation.

@eniko I will forever stand 100% by what my favorite professor once said:

“The more symbols I see on your paper, the less interested I am in reading what you have to say. If you can’t express your idea in plain simple words, reevaluate what you’re trying to say. Ideas are meant to be conveyed, not deciphered” (paraphrased a bit because this was like 4 years ago)
