Some more impossibly dumb bullshit is happening with respect to fluoride but rather than just get mad about that from a hundred different headlines, please watch this lovely video from 
@acollierastroAngela Collier which — among other things — actually explains the mechanism of fluoride, so you actually know what it’s doing rather than just being nebulously good for your teeth https://youtu.be/GefwcsrChHk

The Scientific-Python Development Guide has been updated with SPDX licenses (PEP 639) and dependency-groups (PEP 735)! There's more uv, too; the cookiecutter/copier template now sets up uv everywhere for ultra fast CI. New repo-review checks, too. https://learn.scientific-python.org/development/guides/ #python

Waterfox, the open source browser developed by a British developer from 🇬🇧, has just released a new metasearch engine powered by Google results.
They promise it'll be an engine with no tracking, no invasive advertising, and a cleaner interface. It'll have custom themes, advanced search options and a domain block list. And no AI.
Their business model is based on contextual ads (they ask you to disable your ad blocker) and maybe a subscription-based tier that removes all ads. If they can't make money, they say they might have to rethink their approach.
Official statement:

Made the mistake of buying a bunch of pea protein before discovering that only vegans are allowed to eat it, now I don’t know what to do
My cousin seems to think my fears about Pierre Pollieve taking away women's rights and building concentration camps are overblown. I reminded her that Trump is literally sending US citizens to concentrations camps. No due process, nothing.
Her response?
"They can't just take people off the street. There must be a reason they are taking them."
And this my friends, is how Nazi Germany happened.

@stefanoStefano Marinelli This reminded me of my first year at work, when I faced with The Consultant. At that time I had installed an OpenBSD firewall on a spare PC. People were fascinated by tons of buzzwords and “the man with the tie” took the opportunity to sell new hardware and a bunch of licenses. I tried to explain the risk, but they ended up receiving frequent visits from The Consultant to update and fix things. I was frustrated, and one day, as I walked past the server room, he said: “soon or later, you’ll end up on this side too”. Over my dead body!

Capitalism didn't give us the internet.
Large-scale cooperation, open protocols, and free software gave us the internet. Capitalism gave us mobile sites that don't work because fifteen ads cover the screen.
I still really really want a const, lifetime-erased type_id... I'm thinking of doing another attempt in facet — we need to be able to match on type id in const etc., it's just too important. `Shape::eq` should not show up in flamegraphs

It’s so annoying to read all these takes about not banning that German right-extremist party because that would only make things worse.
No. They need banning.
In a democracy we agree on rules and ways to renegotiate those rules. Use them to change what you don’t like, but if you attack the system in dishonest ways, you break the rules and are not allowed to play.
NOW is the time to end the destructive behaviour – in a completely democratic fashion, built into the system.

If there's any overlap at all between my followers and the kind of science fiction fan who will be attending Worldcon in Seattle (
@seattlein2025Seattle Worldcon 2025) or just follows what's going on in that scene, then I beg you, please go easy on the Worldcon organizers. There's apparently some controversy around them deciding to use ChatGPT to vet possible panelists. Their statement on that is here: https://seattlein2025.org/2025/04/30/statement-from-worldcon-chair-2/ I'm not into SF conventions, but one of my favorite SF authors posted about this. 1/?
Statement From Worldcon Chair
We have received questions regarding Seattle’s use of AI tools in our vetting process for program participants. In the interest of transparency, we will explain the process of how we are using a Large Language Model (LLM).
