I have mixed feelings about the larger social medias. Whenever I post an opinion that is somewhat more controversial or viral, there are always a couple of assholes that feel the need to bring me down. This doesn’t happen on the Fediverse, because we have this mindset where we do not like even tiniest bit of bullying that makes one feel unsafe.
This is why I love the Fedi. It’s my safe zone.

Update on the Microsoft 365 hack - Russia has used the exfiltrated data to push further into Microsoft’s network: “In recent weeks, we have seen evidence that Midnight Blizzard is using information initially exfiltrated from our corporate email systems to gain, or attempt to gain, unauthorized access. This has included access to some of the company’s source code repositories and internal systems.”
Westminster government has lost the plot

Do you think all people deserve a level of life that affords them human dignity? Are you not a fan of fascists? According to the UK government, you could be…
A TERRORIST!!!

The current strategy is not working properly anyway, so I agree, just makes it much harder.for everyone.
The government are out of ideas

So am I right to interpret
micro as 10-6
nano as 10-9
So would this be the diameter of the plastics?

Microplastics and nanoplastics were detectable in the excised plaque of 58% of the patients.
The presence of #microplastics or #nanoplastics in #carotid artery plaque was associated with a subsequent risk of nonfatal myocardial #infarction, nonfatal #stroke, or #death from any cause that was 2.1 times that in patients whose plaques did not contain microplastics or nanoplastics.
Patients with microplastics or nanoplastics in their plaque tissue also had elevated expression of circulating inflammatory markers

The idea of the prevent strategy is to try and intervene early, at one of the schools I worked at, we were told to report a child who was just pretending to be a suicide bomber. Childrens play is partly influenced by the world around them.
I have also undertaken prevent training, so another example is a person exclded from their peer group (which can happen) they feel worthless or unwanted, so are vulnerable to being drawn in to other groups, made to feel they are worth something and those people are the ones who help isolate from friends further and draw them in to another group of friends. The danger is when what they then get involved in puts them at risk of harm or puts others at risk.
The prevent / channel process is designed to help redirect people to more positive activities (which of course the government has now cut youth services dramatically).
The problem is there is a huge divide between exploring a topic and taking violent action.
When, in 2003 the UK and USA illegally invaded iraq, there were protests by pupils (who objected to the invasion) in schools, some schools clamped down on this, other schools sat down and had discussions with the pupils about the subject.l
I think you make a really good point here.

Elon Musk made an electric car and they called him a genius, I don't know a lot about electric cars so I guess he is.
Elon Musk made a spaceship and they called him a genius, I don't know a lot about spaceships, so I guess he is.
Elon Musk bought a social media Software company and they called him a genius. I know a lot about both Social media and Software, and I sure as fuck am not going anywhere near his cars or spaceships.

Having been a passenger on a small boat, moving at speed across a lake, the wind blasts you in the face, as does any sand on the front of the boat. Do we compare moon dust speed with this or perhaps with sandblasting, the techniue used to move rust or other contaminents from objects such as car parts, during repairs.?

With 1 #transistor, I can make an inverter, a switch, or a not-very-good amplifier.
With 2 transistors, I can make a differential amplifier, a cascode, or a latch.
With 3 transistors, I can make a fairly good (Wilson) current mirror, or a Lorenz chaotic system.
20,000 transistors made a #computer that navigated spacecraft to the Moon and back.
But 10,000,000,000 transistors make a computer that's brought to its knees if it tries to interpret the Javascript used to load one #ad on a web page.
