  • /kbin Issues
  • Yup same for me.

  • Linux has less than half of Linux’s desktop share
  • I think it's valuable to make the distinction, whether it's based on linux or not. Just like it's valuable to make the distinction between unix and macOS.

    Because despite all that sophistic nonsense, one of those allows an already too powerful corporation to extend its monopoly into the hardware realm, while reducing user agency.

  • The Truth about Aaron Swartz’s “Crime”
  • It was murder. He stood against the hoarders, and they got his head.

  • And some people think it has consciousness...
  • Or a side effect of censorship. ,

    edit: or if you want to be just a little bit paranoid, like i am, they're making the official chatbots sound less natural, so they can continue to use AI mascarading as humans to influence people and parasite social media.

  • What's the worst company ever. Period.

    They've been trying to target amyloid for more than a decade, and it's the first time I hear of it actually working.

    The treatment seem to have huge side effects (brain bleeding and swelling) and lead to patient death during the study.
    Elly Lilly is also know for marketing zyprexa as a treatment for dementia (despite inefficacy and increased risk of death). Which is IMO criminal, at best unethical. I'm not inclined to trust them at all.

    I hope I'm wrong and it works. Alzheimer is a terrible way to go.
