for folks who have caught covid multiple times, what was the shortest time for reinfection you experienced?
(shortest reported so far: < 4 weeks)

Bij de tandarts. Als ik over een paar dagen corona blijk te hebben, was het gegarandeerd van hier. Ik zie nergens ventilatieroosters of luchtreinigers. Maar m'n ffp3 ophouden kan natuurlijk niet.

Lastige afweging die me veel stress bezorgt. Uiteindelijk doe ik het toch maar want dit is ook belangrijk, maar ik haat iedereen die deze situatie heeft veroorzaakt door de noodzaak van schone lucht niet duidelijk te benoemen en handenwassen wel.

It's almost like they don't realize that most Endocrinologists have very little background in trans care. And the research is sparse. Unless they've specialized, they probably don't know enough.

Very interesting article I read on how doctors essentially use the appeal to authority to get trans people to trust them.

Meanwhile, Tech Comms is doing good research on online sources of technical knowledge in the DIY HRT communities.

"Volgens het college lijkt het er bovendien op dat er met twee maten gemeten wordt."

Dat was al een tijdje duidelijk, volgens mij, maar het is mooi dat het College voor de Rechten van de Mens dat ook ziet. Vraag is of ze daar in Den Haag van onder de indruk zijn. De herhaalde gang naar de rechter naar aanleiding van de zaak-Urgenda doet het ergste vermoeden.

So, you all know gup.pe, right?

Most instances out there still have data for it. However, try opening it in your browser and you will see it no longer exists. This is because it was replaced by a.gup.pe, which you will find is accessible.

This causes lots of posts sent to gup.pe groups to be entirely unfetchable for a lot of Mastodon instances due to a Mastodon bug: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22713

If you're an instance admin for a Mastodon (or derivative) instance, please take the following steps:

Go to your settings
Navigate to Moderation → Federation
Select the "All" tab (not the "Limited" tab)
Search for "gup.pe"
Select "gup.pe" (NOT a.gup.pe!)
If only a.gup.pe shows up, you're good to go.
Click the "Purge" button (Don't suspend! On Mastodon, and apparently also Akkoma (not Pleroma), suspending an apex domain will also suspend subdomains!)
If there is no "Purge" button, you might have to click "Stop delivery" first.

If you don't use Mastodon or a derivative, but other server software, please find other instructions. (Feel free to reply with instructions for other server software!)

Generally speaking, if you know an instance to be down or you know that it's just tagging a Twitter repost "instance" (I'm seeing a lot of twitter.activitypub.actor tagging posts get caught up in this, too):

If you're an instance admin, purge its data. This will work around the above bug as local users will now be unable to tag users on dead instances.
If you're a user, don't tag any users from such instances. Don't tag mutualaid @ gup.pe, tag mutualaid @ a.gup.pe

Fair Trails built an algorithmic risk assessment quiz to demonstrate what predictive policing is like and how you would be assessed. My score is 'high risk'.

Unfair? Yes, and discriminatory as well. These type of systems should be banned by the EU AI Act.

“To a homophobe, even the most chaste kiss on the cheek between gay people is exactly as disgusting and degenerate as a hardcore BDSM orgy hosted in the town square, so you may as well ally with the BDSM orgy enthusiasts to throw bricks at the cops who are going try and arrest all of you together anyway.”

If you know there's beavers in the area, and you find lots of chewed-off branches, is that considered damming evidence?
