Amid Rise of RFK Jr., Officials Waver on Drinking Water Fluoridation — Even in the State Where It Started
---

As federal agencies review their guidance on fluoridation and the nation’s top health official calls fluoride “industrial waste,” state and local governments are pulling back on the practice, upending a decadeslong public health success story.

The wild thing about what is being discovered about the mental health effects of LLM chatbots, is back when I was an extremely depressed grad student, I actually thought about making such a chatbot using the then start of the art statistical language generators, and concluded that it would be deeply harmful and unethical to actually make because of the Eliza effect and my own gut feeling on what that sort of thing would have done to my own precarious mental health at the time.

Yes and no, in the context Julian explains it here it is.
By the way, diaspora* does it way better, IIRC the origin of an origin posting becomes the hub for it, and every reply, reaction etc. goes to that instance and is actively spread back to every instance which is subscribed to that thread.

Later there came a way to fetch reaction which were there before your instance subscribed.

But: I use "view original URL" if I share the post somewhere else (eg. messenger) to point the source

Koleno jsem včera řádně zaledoval, takže dneska repete, jen po lepší cestě. A #birellovka dneska i s vynikajícím hovězím vývarem, vedle gulášovky nejlepší kombo na kole. Hlásím, že letošní #VKDV mám kompletní, protože jsem zapomněl na jedno selfie na rozhledně na Chlumu, takže napraveno. A do tisíce mil mi zbývá 70km, to bych snad ještě mohl zvládnout.

Swiss Cheese Mono: a typeface full of holes inspired by Emmental/Swiss cheese. Created by designer Rob, this monospaced typeface turns each letter into a nod to cheese 🧀

heirloomagency.com/store/p/swi…

The word "#cheesy" is spelled out using blocky letters carved from pale yellow cheese. Each letter has puzzle-like notches and holes cut into it, and they are arranged in a line on a scratched metal surface.
A graphic design image on a dark blue background showcasing a custom typeface called "The Cheese Font." The letters are pale yellow and designed to look like square slices of Swiss cheese with puzzle-like notches and holes. The text reads "INTRODUCING" at the top, and below it, "THE CHEESE FONT" is arranged in a block.

Monospace display font made of squares with circular holes in them; can be used to make realistic-looking images of Swiss cheese letters

So, habe der EU meine Rückmeldung zum Thema CO2-Reduktion der Autoindustrie aka „Verbrennerverbot abschaffen“ geschickt, also hierhin:

ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r…

As owner of a BEV, I can only tell the EU politicians: the technology is already there. Some of the new improvements like BYD's and CATL's 10/12C charging batteries haven't yet arrived in the EU, but they do exist. Thanks to the way China's government created a price war rather than rent-seeking subsidies, as the EU did, the price of BEVs there are more than competitive. This success needs to be duplicated rather than avoided.

The EU should not attempt to turn Europe into a technology museum, which will make sure that all the jobs in the car industry will be lost, but strive to compete. To foster competition and affordable prices, tariffs and other protectionist measures need to go. Audi just registered 10k preorders within 3 minutes with their car developed together with SAIC in China: our car industry can do it. They need a stick to beat them to get there, they need partners in China, because they are behind, but yes, they can. Copying innovations is not a one-way street: we can do that, too.

The way to finance this transition can be copied from China, too: reduced VAT, no tariffs on BEVs, but additional taxes on ICE cars.

Don't allow car makers to slack around. Make absolutely clear, this is a make or break thing: if you don't go electric, you go bust.

Where technology can still be “open” are questions like which battery chemistry, and synchronous or asynchronous motors. But we definitely reached the point where we can say: from E-Bike to heavy trucks and busses: Battery powered EVs work. They either have advantages overall or minimal disadvantages, often due to lacking infrastructure, which will come when more of these vehicles are on the road.

I've been working professionally with batteries since almost 30 years, and the progress was huge. And there's still more progress to come. If you miss that train now, the European car industry will go the way the television, camera, and mobile phone industry went. It's boarding time now!

Get rid of ICEs. Don't bet on E-Fuel, this has very limited use, e.g. for long-distance flights and ships.

If anyone wants to learn numbers in Estonia, here's 100 estonians, aged 0 to 100, saying their age out loud. If not for the language, the change in peoples voices as they age is fascinating if presented in this manner. youtube.com/watch?v=DhzCffo-_C…

0-100 years in Estonia

From January - August 2025, I asked 100 Estonians all over Estonia to say their age in front of the camera from 0 - 100.Next up Finland and Latvia😉The idea ...

This isn't too great for learning, as there are a number of regional variants present in the voicing, but here's counting in (mostly northern) Vietnamese with (presumably) the voicing being done by a Representative of said age. Note that the first number audible is three, and the last is 99:

Niekedy, ked sa vrtam v statnom IT, sa citim ako zakaznik slovenskeho gastra v podobe, ako ju "ospevuju" Haf&Beyuz v skladbe "Gastrobrekeke":

"Este nikto sa mi tu tak ako ty nestazoval,
daj si prosim otocku a niekam inam otravovat odpal!"

"To sa neda nablokovat, co si sa zblaznil?!"

UnifiedPush (Datenspuren 2025)

Push-Benachrichtigungen auf Android-Handys ohne Google. Dezentralisiert und Open Source.

Mit Open Source Tools wie microG bekommt man zwar erfolgreich proprietäre Google Software von seinem Android-Handy verbannt; die eigentlichen Benachrichtigungen werden aber dennoch über Google Server verschickt (Firebase Cloud Messaging).

UnifiedPush ist ein Framework, mit dem Push-Benachrichtigungen dezentral bzw über selbst betriebene Server zugestellt werden können. Zahlreiche Open Source Android Apps unterstützen bereits UnifiedPush. Unter anderem: Tusky, Fedilab, DAVx⁵, Fennec, Element (mit Einschränkungen) und viele mehr.

Dieser Vortrag erklärt, wie Push-Benachrichtigungen im Allgemeinen funktionieren und warum sie trotz ihres eventuell schlechten Rufes eleganter sind, als jede App eine eigene Serververbindung aufbauen zu lassen.

Des Weiteren werden mögliche Privacy-Probleme erörtert die mit der Benutzung von Google Push Servern einhergehen.

Anschließend wird die Architektur von UnifiedPush erklärt.

Der Vortrag endet mit einer praktischen Anleitung wie man UnifiedPush auf einem Android-Handy benutzt.
