"A U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis was dragged out of her car and detained by immigration officers, according to a statement released by the woman on Thursday, after a video of her arrest drew millions of views on social media.

"Aliya Rahman said she was brought to a detention center where she was denied medical care and lost consciousness. The Department of Homeland Security said she was an agitator who was obstructing agents conducting arrests in the area.

"That video is the latest in a deluge of online content that documents an intensifying across the midwestern city, as thousands of federal agents execute arrests amid protests in what local officials have likened to a 'federal invasion.' "

Merz’ neuer Kampf: Der kranke Deutsche – oder warum die Realität mal wieder stört

Bundeskanzler Merz hat wieder einmal den moralischen Zeigefinger erhoben – diesmal gegen den „hohen Krankenstand“ . Statt sich mit den Ursachen zu befassen (Burnout, Pflegenotstand, prekäre Arbeitsbedingungen?), schlägt er vor, was sonst: die Abschaffung der telefonischen Krankschreibung.
Weil alles natürlich nur faulende Arbeitnehmer sind die das System ausnutzen.
Eine Vorverurteilung Deluxe wie immer.

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

Reject this future. :NoAI:

Keep your hardware local.

Run . :tux:

Own your data.

The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud

Amazon's Jeff Bezos once revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options. Will DRAM prices make it come true?

Apparently I've reached a point of sufficiently un-burned-out about tech, not to do software, but to be looking through parametric search tools for instrumentation amplifiers, differential amplifiers, and ADCs to try building something fun to play with TMR (tunneling magnetoresistive) sensors

(Hoping hanging an SPI ADC off a raspberry pi can be accomplished in a minimum of hassle)

Since I'm making Saulala as a PWA (Progressive Web App), you can 'install' it by "Add app to Home screen" on Firefox, or "Add to Home screen" on Chrome.

It will create an app-like shortcut on your home screen, with a Saulala icon, and get rid of the address bar. That should make it work offline as well.

People who work on web tech have been doing a stellar job, my mind is blown every day of what can be done "in a browser".

I'm not going to do the whole hype thing, because it's only a "barebones alpha preview". I have to leave for holidays tomorrow and I won't be as active until next year.

Here's the testing server. This address will always remain as the same for 'alpha' builds. When beta is ready, it's going to take over Saulala's main website.

So far it seems that you'll need a device with at least 4GB RAM. (1/x)

So, it is entirely possible that Personalized MRNA Vaccines will be the future of Cancer Treatment. I wonder how many people will turn it down?

Personalized Cancer Vaccines Are Almost Here—But Federal Funding Cuts Could Derail Them

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy
