I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

It's not enough to squat a Mastodon handle that you never use.

It's not enough to automatically repost your Twitter timeline.

You have a chance to be part of something new. Something important. To shape it in the right way.

With all of us.

Breathe life into *this* community and *this* network by posting here, creating here, connecting here.

Be here now.

European Commissioner Thierry Breton just joined Mastodon!

His first post, published right after a call with Elon Musk, made it clear that there is still huge work ahead for Twitter to comply with EU law:

1. Reinforce content moderation
2. Tackle disinformation
3. Implement transparent policies based on objective criteria (i.e., not via Twitter polls)
4. Limit targeted advertising
5. Prepare for an independent audit

“People Are Mocking Elon Musk’s Announcement That Neuralink Will Be In Human Brains In 6 Months”

"For when you want your brain to burst into flames." 😂🔥

The BBC asking "what can be done to reduce queues at A&Es and waits for ambulances?".

It's simple.

More funding. We need more money for social care to allow people to be discharged who are otherwise medically fine. We need more money for beds, Des & nurses in the hospital's. We need more money for more ambulances and paramedics.

12 years of underfunding by the Tories. This needs to stop.

I'm in the Fediverse since 2019, but never did an #introduction so far:

I'm a #Linux #sysadmin, digital #forensics expert and #Debian developer. Programming in #Perl and #shell most time.

I insist on a #mechanicalkeyboard.

I like #Citroën #oldtimers (#2CV, #HY, #CX) and the #CityEL. I travel with #motorhome and #Brompton.

I'm going with #BikeToWork and like exotic #bicycle types: #foldingbike, #recumbent and #trike.

I am and always was a #nonsmoker. Have #asthma, though. I am #vaccinated.

@zleap @skrishna Indeed. I had little to no insight on all of these happenings. I continue to learn. And this video was great and highly digestible.

I hope that the extraordinary work of Swapna (amongst others) is an inspiration.

I know that I am inspired.
