I wouldn't be surprised to find out that more than half of all diseases globally are never diagnosed correctly already in the world and that is getting worse. Cancer is one of the more commonly easily diagnosed diseases but that is because it shows up on an xray and especially MRI. But with much of the world not being able to afford imaging unfortunately a lot of people will die without treatment.

They still have the RSS feeds I presume? Its possible to make an app based on those.

I really wish the ground combat was better or entirely ignorable because its not as good as the space ship combat aspects of the game.

Puts a lot of evidence towards his claims that Microsoft was behaving badly from the outset and the reason why he started doing this. They keep escalating. Its a war they started.

The death of Stackoverflow is one of these events where the site has been completely killed by AI and yet its contents is completely necessary for AI to know about solving programming problems. Its death will mark the end of AIs ability to learn how to solve programming issues. Its cannibalizing itself in the process, as it destroys its sources it destroys its own ability to learn.

Standard USB 3.0 is 5gbps, which is quite a bit faster than a hard disk drive so if you get a basic USB adapter it will perform about as you would expect a hard drive to perform just a bit worse. Direct Attach Storage will be many drives connected over USB and then you might run into limitations as the number of drives increases as USB tends to top out about 350MB/s with drives.

This is going to keep happening while governments continue to starve local governance of funds needed to meet their legal obligations. They are forced to sell off assets to keep solvent. This seems to be the strategy from central governments to sell off all state wealth.

One possibility is to leave the Github available but just have it as a project page that points them to where the development is really happening and then host it where ever you want. In the near term this seems like a solution that at the very least makes the project visible and findable for those that go looking just on github.

They aren't yet putting up barriers since their sole purpose is people connecting to each other. There is every chance they do move to restricting access but I think it would be the death of Twitch and certainly Twitter if they started doing so. Social media doesn't require us to trust some group of people to choose our content for us and as such is a lot less prone to that bias and billionaire control. That isn't to say the billionaires don't have an effect, on Twitter what people are exposed to by the algorithm is very intentional and controlled as is the front page roll on Twitch, but unlike mainstream media its still possiblr to see and connect with the unfavoured content and grass roots movements can still form. I would prefer this was all on the fediverse but its not where the people are yet.

The mainstream press, being owned by the mega wealthy, hasn't exactly been platforming and fair in its reporting of left wing candidates in general. This has now morphed to a strategy by left wind politicians to go directly to their voters on social media. Zack Polensky, the Green party leader in the UK, has drastically improved his parties standing simply by delivering their policies directly on Twitter and other social media. This is quite likely to become the way that left wing politicians operate in the near future. They potentially seek to gain leverage to fairer representation and presence in mainstream media, although that might not even matter given the mass exodus and distrust of the people of those old platforms.

The just stopped working was the client stopped syncing? NextCloud decided to stop allow private made certificates with its client in 2025 and its what made me switch. I went to Syncthing which works well and is a lot faster and less resource intensive than NextCloud. I also had to move my calendars and chat as well.

Takes a little bit of setup on some sites where you want to narrow the text to article headers or such but its a really versatile tool for tracking websites without RSS. What I wish it did a bit differently was how you subscribe to the actual feed and how it presents the changes, I would like to be able to customise that presentation more.
