I guess my habit of turning off WiFi/BT on my #Librem5 with the hardware kill switch when I leave the house isn't just good for battery life: https://gizmodo.com/bluetooth-tracking-iphone-airtags-1849042375 #privacy #security

One of the most significant papers from Japan's sample return mission to asteroid Ryugu was published in Science today.

It's a monumental result, according to other planetary scientists. Essentially, we now have access to pristine materials from the very earliest days of the solar system, some 4.5ish billion years ago and we can study them on Earth.

A big deal.

LinkedIn is a steaming pile. No wonder Microsoft was falling all over itself to acquire it: it fits right into their offerings.

Cryptocurrency is a scam and an unlicensed security. People "invest" in cryptocurrencies with the expectation that their "coins" will increase in value. That increase in value is solely dependent on more people buying the currency. Just like any other pyramid scheme. There is no asset value or economic production underlying cryptocurrency. It is a socially-distributed fraud scheme. Lots of true believers putting money in. A few at the top are raking it in. Stay away from that shit.

Hey Fediverse - feel free to boost this question.

Is anyone developing or does anyone know of "brain training" phone/tablet games SPECIFICALLY aimed at users with dementia.

I'm thinking like, bejewelled, hidden object, endless matching, <whatever>scapes, but they need to be ad-free, low-distraction, big visuals, low stakes/low stress.

I almost want toddler busy-games. But for senior adults. SagoBiggie!

@lightweight or perhaps they should have listened to the unions? Is there even any real need to fully automate the port? Round here at Felixstowe they do have some automation but there's still a lot of work done by real humans and (supply chain issues aside) they don't seem to be having major problems and the port is still thriving, as is Ipswich which has more bulk cargo so full automation isn't as feasible anyway...

@devurandom every time I think I might be a bit over-the-top in my disdain for Microsoft and Windows, I remember this book, written by someone just needing to vent his spleen (from what I can tell), documenting the first decade of so of Microsoft's ineptitude, depravity, and general unworthiness: https://web.archive.org/web/20051013072349/http://www.vanwensveen.nl/rants/microsoft/IhateMS_1.html Sadly, MSFT only got worse from there. Engineers everywhere should refuse to use it on both aethetic and utilitarian grounds.

Reframing food as a commons in Canada: Learning from customary and contemporary Indigenous food initiatives that reflect a normative shift
https://canadianfoodstudies.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cfs/article/view/504/483
…valuing food as a commodity privileges specific market-based policy goals, regulations, and public subsidies that aim to enlarge market coverage. This prioritizes both corporate profit over societies ́ common good and private enclosures of commons resources over universal access to food for all.

@lightweight @humanetech @EU_Commission This is why it’s important for public schools to use #FOSS. The taxpayer must fund schools & when schools buy proprietary s/w it’s a total loss for the taxpayer. But if the school invests in FOSS, the value of enriching the commons from the FOSS investment can be a reciprocal benefit to the taxpayer.
