Some more good news this morning – UK children will be taught "how to spot fake news and disinformation, including AI-generated content" in new curriculum. This kind of media literacy education is so badly needed. I've written multiple letters to our MP asking for this over the years. It's good to see something finally happening. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cddr3v6j9mmo

@neil As a disabled person who has struggled with EPIC disablism in job recruitment this stuff just makes me very angry and sad.

I've taken 4 employment discrim cases and there is very little legal protection, it's all reactive and very limited. Employers are trusted to be honest when they say "business reasons" to cover blatant discrim and lies.

Cutting motability, Access to Work, PIP and more will not help sick and disabled people who want to work to work. It'll make it WORSE.

CHERIoT 1.0 is here! A stable, CHERI based platform for memory safe microcontroller systems is now real. From tiny cores to dual issue designs, CHERIoT scales while keeping the same software base.

I watched @kevinpowell go through “five super useful CSS properties that don’t get enough attention”, and his use of `open-quote` led to this piece about #CSS quotation marks and the depth counter:

So, do all Android phones come with the Gemini app pre installed, like YouTube and Maps?

No wonder Google says its AI is getting popular. They've added it everywhere, including search engines, and forced users to use it without providing an option to disable it.

This is what a monopoly is all about. Sadly, nobody is going to stop them. They have already killed competition and the independent web, and most of their users have no idea how information reaches them or if it is even accurate

> The number of sick and disabled people out of work is putting the UK at risk of an "economic inactivity crisis" that threatens the country's prosperity, according to a new report.

What an inhumane framing.

I appreciate that I am going out on a limb here, but perhaps we should sodding well care for and look after people so that they can live their best, most fulfilling lives, not so that they can "return to work".

Honestly, this is disgusting.

The most thought provoking article I have read this week:

A Norwegian bus company wants to know if their buses could be abused by China in the case of war.

So they drive two buses deep into a limestone mine to isolate them from the internet and forensically investigate how they work.

In the mine, investigators discover a Chinese kill switch which could destroy all Chinese buses.

In Denmark, that is 57 percent of the bus fleet.

#Fediblock on this #Nazi who is stalking/harassing me. Please report before you block.

If ever you wanted to know how much capitalism warps our humanity, consider this: Around 800,000 people in the UK are so sick that they cannot work. And instead of being described as a health crisis, it's being called an economic crisis.

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”

Houston’s forecast remains more or less the same, with warming days and nights heading into the weekend, followed by a sharp cooldown on Saturday night. This front will be relatively short-lived, but bring us two cold nights.

Today on The Internet is Stupid: people are convinced my screenshots are fake because the date says November 5 when it's November 4 in America.

Reader: it is November 5 in Australia.

May I introduce you to the concept of timezones

The world is watching.

@Paoblog @informapirata Fermare il porno è la cosa più impossibile al mondo, perché il sesso è parte integrante dell'essere umano, che lo fa anche per piacere diversamente dal resto dei viventi.
Inoltre è l'unica circostanza dove tutti (o quasi) cercano la privacy. Me ne accorgo quando vengono in farmacia e quasi nessuno detrae preservativi, pillola del giorno dopo e viagra.
Quindi è naturale che poi vanno per via diverse su internet.
