Who would understand it to mean “every single man” just because it doesn’t explicitly say “some”? That would be a pretty strange way to read it.

Because people can figure that out by a combination of using a bit of common sense and reading the article in any doubt. And I say “people” even though there’s at least one person who can’t, and people will understand anyway.

It has locked me out for attaching a USB device once or twice. Seems a bit extreme.

This is worth reading all the way through. MIT takes money from Israel’s defense ministry to research better ways to genocide Palestinians, and subjects any student who points it out to violence and legal attacks.

Good on this guy for being brave enough to withstand their intimidation. Those who actively enable and support genocide don’t like being reminded in public that they do. So we must all keep pointing it out.

I guess they’re really proud of their support for Israel.

I have stopped encrypting my drives, because if anything goes wrong and the system won’t boot it makes recovery more difficult. It’s a dual boot machine with Windows 11, and I had a lot of awkwardness with Bitlocker that led to me deciding to abandon encryption in both OSs. I save sensitive files to encrypted volumes in VeraCrypt.

If it hurts cis women as well as trans people, Republicans will consider it a bonus.

The therapy costs about £100,000 upfront and then as much as £200,000 a year.

Is that per patient? Sounds awfully expensive for extracting a bit of blood.

Meta is successful because people can promote their small and local businesses. Because money can be made from ‘likes’. Because of the algorithm. Because people can get their news inline with their family photos. It’s everything.

Everyone who leaves Meta reduces the value of their advertising just a little bit. If lots of people leave, it will make the company less profitable.
