Acaba de llegarme una oferta para currar de desarrollador para una empresa de #apuestas. Hacedme caso, si tienes una mínima ética no compensa. Y cuanto más pasa el tiempo no mejora. Saber que tú sueldo viene de miseria humana no ayuda a tu #saludmental en nada.
@violetmadder@ScienceScholar@gdinwiddie ... so, you can understand why I'd be skeptical of a new, hormonally active wonderdrug for morning sickness. Given our society's cavalier lack of rigorous testing for drugs aimed at women ...
This is a shoutout to anyone who has said #no to joining a group or gathering over the holidays due to the fact that we are in the midst of an incredibly destructive #pandemic, still lead by our old friend #covid19.
Your friends, family, and co-workers might not get it, but we do.
You are doing the right thing. You are doing the sensible thing. You are reducing harm. You are looking out for your community. You are doing what you have to. You are awesome.
The Pitch for a #Unity Ticket in 2024 Keeps Getting Weaker
As it seemingly embraces a 15-week abortion ban, No Labels, the group pitching a third-party alternative, increasingly looks like a Joe #Biden#spoiler.
As questions endure about the #No#Labels—a group that has pitched itself as a #bipartisan band intent upon propping up a third-party candidacy with a “unity ticket” in #2024—seems to be adopting—if quietly—the latest #Republican position du jour on #abortion.
I used to have a page in my notebook with a list of “normal things to talk about” until my older brother (who is the worst) said that having a list like that was not normal. So I got rid of it. But that was years ago when I thought I could maybe come off as normal. I’ve given up on that. But I still wish I had that list — I have to go to a “holiday party” at work today and I’m doing my best not to make an excuse and literally run away. #killmenow#no#why#how#please
In other news, @mc told us all in Japanese class that America does not have bicycles. He has tried to make amends in slack. However, his original statement went completely unchallenged during the class, and now no one is buying his attempts at a correction.
@paninid It's more complex than that. Today< there are legal barriers to them scraping public information, technical barriers to them scraping non-public information (followers-only posts), and opportunities to add additional technical barriers to scraping currently-public info. Of course Meta, Facebook, and Instagram have a history of breaking the law and acquiring data without consent even when it's illegal, stringing out the legal process as long as possible, and then paying the fine as a cost of doing business ... but then again EU data protection authorities have been coming down hard on them, and recently issued a strong statement about scraping, so for the limited value of today's fediverse Meta might not see it as worth flagrantly breaking the law.
Tenemos que hablar un momento de seguir enlazando notis de eldiario y de otros medios que no te dan opciones de ver sus noticias sin cookies opcionales o, peor aún, sólo te dan esa opción pagando. Medio que vea haciendo eso, noticia que no me voy ni a dignar a abrir, y si tengo que enlazar algo, ya me encargaré de quitarle el paywall, pero es que veo aquí a todo cristo enlazando eldiario como si todos hubiésemos pagado el rescate-suscripción y #no
