Almost 7% of adults and 1% of kids have struggled with long Covid, survey finds
  • New? The messed up thing is we don't even know all the ways "old" diseases fuck us up.

  • California workers who cut countertops are dying of an incurable disease
  • Here's the full set of measures recommended:

    Workplace safety regulators have recommended a suite of measures including water spraying systems, ventilation and vacuum systems to clear dust, in addition to protective respirators for workers — ones covering the entire face if silica levels in the air are high.

  • UK election watchdog issues damning verdict on voter ID impact
  • The US is also a prime example why simply getting rid of an ID does not actually solve any of these issues for the mentioned groups. If anything you can see more problems with voter registration and information that partially would be solved by a unified ID issued to each legal citizen.
    Or in other words: People will always find a way to exclude groups on purpose and they will always be lazy to implement new measures to include a smaller pool of people, especially if they feel including those people might not even benefit them.

    And ID is a good first step but it's of course also not enough to reach everyone who legally can vote.

  • Amazon’s First ‘Fallout’ Show Art Is AI Generated
  • Neither do they have copyright of the stock art they used to purchase. The complete piece, however, including pip boy, is not AI generated. Someone put this together, put effort into it, which easily qualifies it for copyright protection, even if the background is AI generated instead of bought stock art.

  • Vampire Survivors adds local co-op and fully switches to new engine
  • Just say directly that you won't buy it

  • German Chancellor defends his policy of supporting Ukraine to boos and whistles of far-right
  • The far right wants an successful invasion of foreign land.

  • Barbie And Baldur’s Gate 3 Prove That Go Woke, Go Broke Doesn’t Exist
  • For those on a dangerous path, that have not yet arrived.

  • In my area those who decide on new building projects own a lot of property, so they of course keep additional homes being build to a minimum to further increase prices of their property... it's a rigged system, by design.

  • The problem is simple: in a perfect society we wouldn't increase flat prices simply so a landlord can make even more profit. There is no actual, logical reason why the flat should cost 5x as much, only made up ones that basically say "but I wanna!". There's no actual 5x increase in costs for the landlord, they pocket most of that additional rent.
    Living space isn't something you should be able to profit this heavily from in a functioning society, as it's a basic necessity to life. It's alright that nicer flats cost more but nowadays we value huge additional profits to landlords higher than basic human rights, provocatively spoken.

  • Are TERF-centric magazines allowed on this insurance?
  • The fact that you think that quote is about "owno, they'll think Imma Nazi ;_;" reveals sooo many flaws with your world view.
    Absolute "I am 12 and this is deep" material, hilarious.

  • If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.

  • Opinion: Long COVID is debilitating to me and 65 million other people. Where is the urgency to treat it?
  • Yeah, but it's not noticeable to the billionaires, so they don't see a reason to act.

  • Opinion: Long COVID is debilitating to me and 65 million other people. Where is the urgency to treat it?
  • Fuck off. A lot of people got sick because others were idiots, not because they behaved wrong. Masks are most effective when the sick person wears them, which you can't influence, way too many idiots got out even thought they felt sick and not every place in the world encouraged the use of the really effective FFP2/KN95 Masks. A lot of long-covid sufferers also got sick early on, before we even learned what they best measures would be to protect ourselves and others and before we had the vaccines that reduce the risk of suffering from it.

  • Opinion: Long COVID is debilitating to me and 65 million other people. Where is the urgency to treat it?
  • Nah, morons just get more and more comfortable to openly be morons. A trend that's going on for quite a while.

  • TIL during the early days of the internet, companies tried to prohibit linking to some of their sites. The linked site linked to all of them during half of 2002
  • I was accused some years ago (like... 2012?) of "hacking" an alpha of an online game because I changed some urls to get items or move them between players... I actually documented all of this and sent them plenty of bug reports. It was an alpha, after all and we were specifically asked to report bugs.
    They then literally sent me an email and told them that they can see my provider from my IP and will contact them to sue me for hacking...

    The game never left their alpha state and soon after closed down completely over some drama where a mod got access to important keys and locked everyone out.

    Fun fact: the programmer of that pile of shit then announced that they started working for a huge online game company.

  • Meat allergy from tick bites is on the rise—and US doctors are in the dark
  • If it would only be meat, sure. Unpleasant but manageable. But the animal products can be a problem. They not only put you very close to the most hard-core of vegans diet plan, they additionally mess with medical treatment available to you.
