It’s official: Measles is no longer a disease that is eliminated in the US. I can’t emphasize enough how catastrophic a failure this is when a vaccine that is 97% effective exists. https://www.cnn.com/2026/11/13/health/us-measles-elimination-status

@andypiper I'm now debating whether to do Mint or Fedora 😅

“Whoever is arbitrarily in charge of a community has full unrestricted power to do whatever they want”

So you want to kick out whoever build the community and be in charge with others likeminded people?

All popular community’s would be taken over by groups, bots, data centers, big tech … And used will be brainwashed. Your vote wouldn’t matter at all.

You vote with leaving a community and / or the platform.

A deeper issue I wonder if anyone caught the VCs mention... "our own rare earths"

Yea... so the VC technocrats who don't wanna do business with China...

Ok so please check this one out... they wanna strip mine the deep sea so we can be off of China's rare earth supply (which doesn't require strip mining the ocean)

But you know, anything for national security...

Every time there has been a software system failure or disruption everybody involved insists "AI" and layoffs weren't the direct cause and that people should stop spreading fear about a new tech. It's a tactic to shut down criticism

But even if the proximate cause is something else, trace it back enough and the penultimate cause will often have been "AI" or layoffs. And the ultimate cause is always going to be bad management that prioritised stock price and bonuses over functioning companies

@rationaldoge whaaaaaaat ?!?! @veronica has a video about it? Amazing!!! I will check it out ASAP (HUGE fan of her work)

@TheBreadmonkey

We need some degree of Ben redundancy, perhaps achievable through some sort of decentralised network of Bens based all around the world, all cloned from the original Ben.

Thank god you’re not the one running it because holy shit, these are some awful takes.

So far, “AI” has hacked Huggingface, fucked up RubyGems, hacked the Australian medical system, and likely brought the US air traffic control system to a halt.

Oh sorry, a minor correction: so far, #AI has been DEPLOYED BY CARELESS PEOPLE to allow the above incidents to occur.

@carnage4life
AI can not replace a CEO. The CEO does not exist for the company, the company exists for the CEO - and for the Board, the major share holders and other members of the Nobility.

Typical peasant thinking here 😉

@acb@mastodon.social @alice@lgbtqia.space so!
according to this article
they were founded in russia but left when war began
claim to have no russian ties
correction regarding company's russian nature reads
> Correction: A company spokesperson clarified that the company is not Russian. He cites that its CEO is Ukrainian, and that more than 10% of the team members are Ukrainian. He further clarifies that Flipper Devices is a distributed company that is building out its HQ in London. It also states that “Flipper Devices don’t ship devices to Russia, don’t hire in Russia and worked to move away all of their employees out of Russia. Since some of their employees have Russian passports, they might go there to visit their family or for other personal matters.”

@LucPestille thank you Luc! I watched a video tutorial about installing Zorin OS on a Macbook Air 2013 and it seemed really easy
