you know why that camera is located right next to the screen? because looking into a sensor doesn't help anybody.
nobody looks into the camera! IF it looks like they do, then only because there's nice tricks to enable that look.
Judge them for using selfie mode instead of a decent setup!
mostly 80s+, while 50+% is from past 2000
some metal or stuff like pink floyd, kraftwerk or even something NDW might be older
#Elsevier finally (after 25 years) retracted the primary study concluding that #glyphosate is safe for humans. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in #Roundup herbicide and manufactured by #Monsanto.

Among the grounds for the retraction:
* "The article's conclusions…are solely based on unpublished studies from Monsanto."
* "Employees of Monsanto may have contributed to the writing of the article without proper acknowledgment as co-authors."
* "The authors may have received [undisclosed] financial compensation from Monsanto for their work on this article."
Remember that in 2020, the #Trump #EPA "relied almost entirely on #Monsanto studies" to conclude that Roundup was safe.

In 2016, Monsanto made a show of sharing its research on glyphosate with the public. But instead of making it #OpenAccess, it put print copies in a room in Brussels, required registration to use the room, and then closed the room after two months.

Two questions for follow up studies:
1. Why did Elsevier's 𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘛𝘰𝘹𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 need 25 years to retract this piece of Monsanto advertising?
2. What harm did the article cause during the last 25 years?

Geld, das an #Microsoft geht, ist wirklich mehr als verschenkt. Es ist verloren und die "Gegenleistung" ist eine zynische Ausnutzung und undemokratische Fremdsteuerung grundlegender Vorgänge.
Das Geld gehört in demokratisch kontrollierte, öffentliche Infrastruktur, deren stabilen Betrieb und deren Entwicklung nach demokratische ausgehandelten Vorgaben.
Die Alternative zu "Public money, public code" ist Kontrollverlust.

Violence, Uber Eats
“Das erse Mal, dass Uber Eats in Deutschland von einem Streik betroffen war. Ohne Gewerkschaften, organisiert in einer WA-Gruppe mit 700 Fahrern. Zwei Tage lieferten sie keine Bestellungen aus. Ein Schlägertrupp prügelte einen der Anführer krankenhausreif“_ https://www.rbb24.de/wirtschaft/beitrag/2025/12/essenslieferdienste-subunternehmer-arbeitsbedingungen.html

Wendekreis wird etwas hoch, aber durch den normalen Straßenverkehr sollte ich damit kommen. (Gartentore und so sind schwieriger)
Mal sehen ob ich mir irgendwo billig einen Fahrrad-Dachgepäck-Bügel klicken kann und den auf die 20mm-Rohre geschraubt bekomme?
Dann wäre das vmtl. die billigste Variante um Kind UND Kinderfahrrad für längere Strecken mitzunehmen?
Lots of voices like “we need European social media!!”
And I said, “actually, you know what, we kind of have one for years…” 😆
Some people started complaining “but nobody uses Mastodon” and I once again had no choice but to explain that if “nobody uses” then how come I’ve got 3k+ followers here and engaging in truly interesting discussions not less often than there😁
There’s two data points where Fediverse can be indeed seen as less attractive than US cortisol aggregators:
• number of engagements, but granted that up to 60-70% of these on Twitter are generated by bots who cares? Maybe media advertising agencies do, but I don’t.
• presence of public persons - this is where Fediverse actually loses, because it’s a network that grows between them and can’t be “invited”
