So, for today, my pronouns are threshold/ratio.
Thank you.
"Like all of neoliberalism, the last five decades of health care debate was a deal between the right and left to have social goods distributed through increasingly powerful corporations instead of directly through the state. Progressives got something close to universal health insurance 'coverage,' while the right got a privatized system with no limits on corporate power and no price transparency."

With big health insurance hikes coming, another health care crisis is here. Where's all the money going? And what comes now? Plus Argentina votes for the Trump bailout, Warner is for sale and more...Matt Stoller (BIG by Matt Stoller)
The crazy part about the ACA or Obamacare:
In 1995, Hillary Clinton as first wife, proposed universal health care. She was reviled with "government death panels" and howling by republicans.
At that time, republicans and their think tank, Heritage Foundation, proposed an alternate plan that had markets, health plans, etc.
This noname guy from Massachusetts took this plan and ran it in his state. Ever hear of the republican Mitt Romney? Yeah, that nobody.
Then Obama wanted to take Romneycare and the Heritage Foundations plan and make it national. And gee golly, howls of socialism... From a republican plan.
He instituted it, barely. But "Soshulism" screams are now regularly made. Nobody remembers the history:
The ACA was a republican plan!

"Chatbots Are Pushing Sanctioned Russian Propaganda
"ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok are serving users propaganda from Russian-backed media when asked about the invasion of Ukraine, new research finds."
For me it's even worse, because i not only got that in the 90's, i also grew up in the 70's during the oil crisis. Speed limits were lowered to 55 mph to save gas, fuel efficiency standards were first introduced, President Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed on the White House roof and addressed the nation on TV about saving energy while wearing a sweater so the White House thermostat could be set lower in the winter, and all the schools had stickers on the light switches reminding you to turn the lights off when leaving a classroom empty. Energy conservation was huge when i was growing up. Now it's "go ahead and use enough electricity to power a house for a month so you can make a video of a three eyed cat playing a banjo"

Unpopular opinion.
If you have a static website, it should be able to scale from 0 to "it's the first Google result for the question which is currently on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' with no hitch."
It's not hard. It's a problem we've solved a few dozen times by this point, and the solutions are free and widely available.
You just have to stop hosting it on an old PowerPC Mac behind your carefully-crafted router running OpenBSD 4.
@matt This was prompted by somebody on my TL complaining about the "HN hug of death."
I'm not a fan of decentralization for decentralization's sake. With a website like that, you can decentralize at the domain level. As long as your hosting provider doesn't control your domain and you have the ability to move your content somewhere else, there isn't much evil that the provider can do.
@matt Some sites aren't technically static, even though they should be.
Think e.g. a blog which fetches posts from the db and has no CDN / caching in front.
@matt Also, what the pro-decentralization folks are completely ignoring is that there are a lot of free speech / human rights arguments in favor of centralization.
No single server will withstand the might of the Chinese government if they decide to launch a DeDoS attack. Cloudflare? No problem, they'll even do it for free.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

I wish I’d had the guts to tell someone I loved them. I didn’t. And now it’s too late.
Nefalšované kočce není dobře. Děti říkaly, že :"Včera odpoledne zeblila celej pokoj, tak jakejpak miláček?!?"
No a dneska to ještě pořád není dobrý. Jdu jí zasadit nové obilí, aby se měla kde pást, a vy jí pošlete podrbání, nebo pusu na čelíčko.
Naast klimaat is er tijdens de verkiezingen veel te weinig aandacht voor alle ontwikkelingen rond het thema digitaal.
AI, tech sovereignty, cyberwar, chip tekorten, election hacking, etc etc...
En op de kieslijsten te weinig kandidaten met kennis op verkiesbare plaats.
Daarom mijn stemadvies. Stem de digitale specialisten omhoog zodat er straks kamerleden zijn die hier serieus het debat over kunnen aangaan.

I Nizozemsko brzy čekají volby do poslanecké sněmovny. Na každém rohu je vidět obrázek červené tužky coby nástroje, kterým voliči určí další směřování země. Ačkoli se voleb nemůžu účastnit jako volič, jejich organizace mě zajímá. Je fascinující, jak moc se…

LONG SONGS TIME
What are your favourite long songs?
At 9:30 'The Trapeze Swinger' by Iron & Wine absolutely counts as a long song, and is one I adore getting lost in.
My music theory is non-existant, so I can't tell you what it's called when a song is basically a chorus-less loop, but that's what it is, and it's hypnotic.

#Nähe und #Distanz#Dauer und #Wechsel
Zwei Gegensatzpaare, die mir beim #Seminar themenzentrierter #Interaktion (TZI) nach Ruth #Cohn begegneten.
Es fand unter dem Motto #Bleiben oder #Gehen statt, angelehnt an ein Gedicht von Hilde Domin:
"Man muss weggehen können
und doch sein wie ein Baum..."
Das Seminar war für mich überraschend vielfältig in der Methodik, sehr interessant und sehr intensiv im gegenseitigen Austausch.
Vielen Dank an Ulrike Renker, Elke Siebert und @hokaff@bildung.social für Konzeption, Leitung und Durchführung im Klosterhof St. Afra.
btw: Es wäre sehr schön, man könnte im #FediVerse öfter etwas von #TZI lesen 😉

the least they could have done was use markdown for the report.
serious question: why not add guards to make these sort of fake problems go away? i know it's annoying to write code that'll get compiled away but it could keep the bots away?
i was wondering what the reason not to would be. this sounds like as good a one as any.
also i'm not a very serious person
