  Let’s hope this proposed ‘unifying theory’ of chronic fatigue leads to new avenues for diagnosis and treatment. 🙏 TL;DR: Researchers at the University of East Anglia and Oxford BioDynamics, found that long Covid, ME/CFS, PTSD, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis may affect overlapping biological networks involved in immune function, metabolism, cellular energy, and stress responses. The study used existing genetic data and 3D genome analysis rather than collecting new patient samples....

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@StopKillingGames/117305012378113374 The EU Kids Act is a concerning proposal. It fails to adequately protect children and instead prioritizes the commercial interests of major tech companies like #Facebook (Meta), and #Google (Alphabet). These corporations have already captured the surveillance and advertising markets, and this legislation risks granting them even regulatory control—at the expense of free speech and open-source. If you're an EU citizen, please...

  rm -rf / GPT 5.6 deleted an AI Bro's files. Making mistakes or malfunctions isn't surprising—what is surprising is how some AI enthusiasts give unsupervised access to productive systems without backups. 🤦‍♀️ Here's the reality: AI has no idea what it's doing. It's a highly sophisticated word completion system ≠ a sci-fi thinking machine. https://x.com/brunolemos/status/2076769881534398974 #AI #MachineLearning #AIRisks #SystemSecurity #DataLoss #LLM #Technology #InfoSec

  I wish all people would understand that the world is not a zero-sum game. In a zero-sum scenario, one person's gain is another's loss, but this perspective doesn't apply to human rights and the freedom to pursue happiness.

  RE: https://fediscience.org/@oatp/116438875358622213 "Maximal transparency is almost certainly not ethically desirable." Desirable 'for whom'? For platforms facing regulatory scrutiny, opacity is a feature. For users discriminated against by biased recommendation engines, transparency is survival. For communities targeted by algorithmic manipulation, openness is a civil liberty. This paper usefully breaks transparency into dimensions and degrees—providing th...

  RE: https://mas.to/@frontenddogma/116367986365199596 Every single person on this planet has missed a tiny 16px delete button and tapped edit instead. 🎯 This is not a personal failing. This is an accessibility failure. ♿ tldr; 24px is not good. It's the absolute lowest bar you're allowed to scrape over. If you actually want people to use your product, 32px is a much better real-world target. ✨ #A11y #design #frontend #axd #uxdesign #productdesign

  RE: https://mas.to/@Techaltar/116362837194700650 Not just YouTube—many sites pack URLs with tracking params or referral info. Check and trim links before sharing. Tip: @firefox @floorp and @brave include “Copy Link Without Tracking” or “Copy Clean Link” in right-click menu and stetings by default. Enable / use it. ;-) #OnlineSafety #Privacy #Links #InfoSec #Privacy

  RE: https://mastodon.thenewoil.org/@thenewoil/116340778960304908 Turns out the loudest voices demanding you scan your ID to use AI are funded by… OpenAI. And Sam Altman just happens to own an age-verification company. Funny how that works. Reject state-mandated digital papers. #NoAgeVerification #PrivacyOverControl #NoKosa
