Een smerig stuk in het AD waarin de framing van Assange als naarling weer es niet van de lucht is. Al eet ie spaghetti met z'n tenen: het doet er geen fluit toe. Maar nergens in het artikel gaat het over zijn journalistiek. Het hele artikel voegt niets toe.
Blegh.

Last year I smelled their lovely scent everywhere in #Tirana, drowning the air pollution somewhat to the background: #Jasmine. Inspired, I planted some. Now I will have the scent in my own garden soon ... It is starting to bloom 🥰

"What Hansen didn’t know was that 3M had already conducted animal studies — two decades earlier. They had shown PFOS to be toxic, yet the results remained secret, even to many at the company."

Commercial companies have institutionalised fooling people, by dismissing their profit is bad for peoples' health while they already know that in fact it is.
It is criminal and should be treated as such.

This is part of the ribosome, the machine in all living things that 3D prints proteins to order, based on digital instructions in our DNA. All of life consists of proteins or things built by proteins. In our labs we can barely imitate the ribosome somewhat using cumbersome pieces of fragile equipment that need lots of expert handling. The ribosome meanwhile can print copies of itself and is 20nm large. Bow before its glory. https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Ribosome

Is it just me or is Mastodon cyber security related activity ... a lot more quiet?

Seems people have gone back to being active on X or Threads even? No, am I imagining things?

@nopatience In my experience it is okay here. Not seen a huge change.

Hahaha, mevrouw in de trein tegen andere mevrouw (dames eigenlijk):

"Ik ben niet zoo'n vleeseter, maar ik houd wel van draadjesvlees. Dat ga ik dan maken, maar dan heb ik de helft al op voordat we gaan eten." 😂😂😂

Fijn te weten dat ik niet de enige ben die snoept tijdens het kokkerellen.

Fantastisch . Adresseert hoofdlijnen waar we echt op zaten te wachten:

  • 130 rijden
  • ambassade binnen Israël verplaatsen
  • reguleren versterkt gebedsomroep

Mis ik er nog een paar? Mooie langetermijnvisie. 🤪

"... regulering komt van versterkte gebedsoproepen." ...
Wanneer spreek je van 'versterkt'?
Ik heb zo het vermoeden dat dit niet gaat over de analoge pushmeldingen van de kerk op de zondag.

@anduril If it's okay ... in English? I was in Tirana last year talking to someone from Albania (who could well be on the chaos.social). A young woman. She told me about how bad it actually is, because a lot of intelligent young people leave to build their lives elsewhere because of a bleak future.

Does no longer allows people to open .ODT files? Have, a few times, had to safe .ODT files as .DOCX via LibreOffice so that Word users could open it.

.ODT is an open source file format, so its a deliberate choice for Word to not be compatible.

Why do people pay for a shitty product that lacks such basic functionality?

@jkn @ncoca @gombang @fmy I'll ask around. 🙂
