GLP-1s are being linked to fewer serious infections, including TB
I see we have a new game to play: name of an LLM model, or a life threatening disease?
In this author's humble opinion, we should treat both the same, and aim to eradicate them.
I would really like a lawyer to opine on why the Home Secretary and judge keeping key information from the jury does not qualify as conspiracy to prevent the course of justice. It seems like a textbook case. There’s conspiracy (multiple parties are involved and make an effort to keep their goals secret from the target) and there’s perversion of the course of justice (the jury is required to make a decision with some pertinent fact deliberately withheld from them).
The UK has a concept of a private prosecution, where criminal charges can be brought directly on behalf of the affected parties, rather than by the crown. I presume rights organisations have taken legal advice to not pursue this route but I would like to understand why.
Interesting point, thanks & boosted

@neil nearly elevenses though!
My latest video is off to a slow start, so I asked the new YouTube AI why. It said I needed better packaging. So I asked it to show me a concept for a better thumbnail.
To make my YouTube channel sustainable, I need to grow, so I need to do something. But I am not sure this concept is the right direction. What do you think?
Picture 1 is the thumbnail I have designed using real photos.
Picture 2 is YouTube's AI suggestion for how to reach a million viewers.

I like yours much better because you can distinguish rapidly that it's about Putin and Russia.
On the other one you have to zoom to know who is the tiny guy, the flag on the statue may be mistaken for dozens of others and many people don't even know who the guy in the statue is.
The AI suggestion is more dramatic but also less easily interpreted.
Yours is much clear visual communication.

Manche von euch haben es schon gemerkt: Wir haben noch kein Mastodon-Update gemacht. Der Grund ist relativ simpel und benötigt dennoch einen kleinen Thread als Erklärung. Kurz gesagt: Uns wird langsam der Speicher knapp und Hardware ist teuer geworden.
Der KI-Boom hat bekanntermaßen einen großen Bedarf an Rechenzentrums-Hardware ausgelöst. Als wir unseren Server bei Hetzner gemietet haben, gingen wir davon aus, dass wir einfach immer Festplatten austauschen oder neue, größere kaufen können.
J'essaye de comprendre pourquoi le choix de Eckert IV et pas Equal Earth, la différence est en fait visuellement minime. https://math.univ-lyon1.fr/~alachal/diaporamas/diaporama_cartographie2/recommended_comparisons/Eckert_IV_vs_Equal_Earth.htm

Going serious here.
This is a completely fucking bullshit cunt response from Metro Trains.
Multiple safety protocols failed.
Don't fucking lowkey victim-blame, deflect responsibility and say you'll "conduct a review". Jesus fucking Christ.

WE DID IT. WE WON. 💜✊
Wikimedia Foundation workers voted 158 YES to 14 NO: 91.9% of ballots cast, with 81% turnout.
We’re so proud of everyone who built this union, and this win belongs to our whole community. We could not have done it without the solidarity of Wikimedia volunteers.
This is just the beginning. We stand with our UK siblings in their recognition process now, and with future organizing efforts across WMF’s global workforce. 🌍

@randahl when I see thumbnails like that, I do not click on it as it looks really clickbaity 🤷♂️
But to be fair … I do not think I am in majority on YouTube.

Used to work at a public library - it's less boring than you'd think. Two older couples regularly returned books with raunchy photos of themselves inside. We never knew how to address it, so we just shredded them. Took me a while to realise it was a kink.
