Literally the *only* story I'm going to share about the goddamn Olympics:
U.S. Rugby player Ariana Ramsey found out athletes get free healthcare in the Olympic Village and immediately booked a bunch of appointments for routine services many Americans living under our dystopian private healthcare regime simply can't afford:
si.com/olympics/american-athle…
"Like, what?” she said in a post on TikTok describing her new discovery: The Olympic Village offers free healthcare.
The United States, of course, does not. So in the days following her victory, Ramsey made appointments with the Village gynecologist, dentist and ophthalmologist. According to the Paris 2024 organizing committee, the Village also offers cardiology, orthopedics, physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry and, of course, sports medicine—all at no cost to the athletes. (Paralympic athletes will also have access to dermatology.)"
The best part of the story is that Ramsey not only convinced a bunch of other U.S. Athletes to take advantage of the program, but after realizing how beneficial having access to free healthcare is, she's decided to become an advocate for Universal Healthcare in America.
On a personal level and as someone who has spent time in multiple countries that offer free healthcare to their citizens, I honestly cannot stress how much it improves not only health outcomes, but also quality of life for labor class people; from increasing your lifespan, to freeing workers from dependence on bad employers just to keep their health insurance, this is one social policy that has ripples throughout almost every aspect of the lives of everyday people. And it says a LOT about the priorities of the American ruling class that they'd do almost anything to keep you from having access to universal healthcare.

If you are using Mastodon on a computer, you can optionally use it entirely through your keyboard using "hotkeys". There is a complete list of these keyboard shortcuts here:
➡️ fedi.tips/using-mastodon-throu…
You can see this list at any time by pressing Shift + ? (or just ? on some keyboard layouts).
Some of the shortcuts only work with the advanced multicolumn mode (more info about it: fedi.tips/how-to-activate-mast…) but most shortcuts work with single column mode too.

This Ars Technica article discusses just how much the rushed release of the new Sonos app will hurt their revenue, but I'm particularly impressed that their first example of its failures was "accessibility features", and that text links straight to @JonathanMosen’s blog post. I'm trying, but I just can't make myself feel too bad for them. And they still have to show they can actually get back on track.

While some athletes have raved about the muffins and others have complained about the cardboard beds, some American Olympians are taking advantage of the free healthcare. Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey didn't just get a bronze medal in Paris — she's had a pap smear, X-ray, teeth cleaning, and an eye test. She's posted about this on TikTok, influenced other athletes in the Village to visit medical professionals, and now plans to fight for universal healthcare in the U.S. Here's more from Sports Illustrated.

New, by me: At least six companies were saved from having to pay hefty ransoms, thanks to rookie security bugs found in the web infrastructure used by the ransomware gangs themselves.
Security researcher Vangelis Stykas said he found simple security flaws in the web panels used by Mallox, BlackCat, and Everest ransomware gangs, which exposed victims' decryption keys and helped him to alert other companies before the criminals could strike.

in reply to Hubert Figuière • • •1) No. Olympics care is not supported by tax payers (it could anyway)
2) Free medical care is the rule in France. A public insurance pays part of it, optional insurance pays the other part, 3) The optional insurance is free for poor people. People in special situations get charity services (by state), for example undeclared migrants.
4) Still not perfect.
