@textcontainer @hen lol the idiot calls me antisemitic then blocks me! Looks like considering Palestinians unworthy of human rights is the new trend in Germany :)
@hen because it was built on land theft and mass genocide
@textcontainer @hen so saying that palestinians have the right to not get their lands stolen is antisemitic ?
@BennettTomlin also your Crypto Critics Corner podcast made me aware of the rotten nature of the crypto space and its negative externalities. Made me become more skeptical of it. So thanks for your efforts, you're doing a very important work !
@BennettTomlin in my case, crypto (specifically Brave browser / rewards) has led me into the digital privacy / FOSS space, which I think is some form of (good?) radicalization. So hey, not that bad 🤷

Another thing that makes me happy. My first publication this year got materialised on a mug. Can’t wait to drink tea using this mug. Cheers everyone!

From the #Pfizer oncology medical team: #Pharma companies should take steps to ensure #openaccess to medical research.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40487-023-00220-z
"Pharmaceutical companies need to regularly communicate to patients all essential info about their medicines…Companies will need to make sure patients have access to & awareness of relevant info. This can be achieved by ensuring medical info is freely available to the reader, & working with publishers to facilitate open access (free) publications."
#ACMilan are you okay ?

Two scientists walk into a bar.
The first one says "Hello barkeep. I'll have H20."
The second one says "I'll have H20 too"
The bartender brings out their drinks. The second scientist dies.

Yet another insidious move from #Google! Now when you give permission to Google Maps to access your location, you're also giving that permission to all the other Google products (Meet, Drive, etc).
Solution : Ditch Google whenever you can. However, if you have to open a Google URL, best way to do it is in incognito mode.

how many times am I going to have to prove I'm not a robot? I wonder if there's a way to automate it

I think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.
Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.
Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.

"#Facebook will pay $725 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed in 2018. The lawsuit came in the wake of Facebooks revelation that it had improperly shared data on 87 million users with #CambridgeAnalytica, a British political consultancy tied to former President Donald Trump's election campaign." Frankly, the amount is too small, and should instead be more crippling to Meta. If it's not punitive enough to strike abject horror industry-wide, it's insufficient https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/12/meta-to-pay-725-million-to-settle-cambridge-analytica-lawsuit/
