"… among people who enrolled in RECOVER within one month of getting COVID, just over 2.5 of every 100 people developed ME/CFS each year.
In comparison, among a matched group of people who were enrolled in RECOVER, but who were never infected with COVID, less than one out of every 100 people got ME/CFS.
This means that people enrolled in RECOVER who were infected with COVID were four times more likely to develop ME/CFS compared to those who did not get sick with COVID."
@treehugger I agree with this. However, other disease can cause severe fatigue, etc. They are not all lumped together.
The fatigue is horrible (been there, done that). My guess is that Long COVID is from sequestered virus.

The current diagnostic criteria (CDC) does require PEM:

It's possible there are atypical cases (or subgroups of ME/CFS ? ) without PEM. I have no idea. But that's not the current definition of ME/CFS.

My understanding is that if a patient meets the ME/CFS diagnostic criteria then they have ME/CFS. The cause is not specified in diagnostic criteria.
Most cases of ME/CFS, but not all, are triggered by a viral infection. SARS‑CoV‑2 is just one possible virus. Flu (H1N1) and other viruses have also been found to trigger ME/CFS.

First, save large-scale thermonuclear warfare, there is very little chance for our species to go extinct (a mass death of 90%, which is apparently what awaits if temperature rises 8°C or more, isn't extinction; so we still need to care for the survivors, and even more to limit the rise of temperature to something lower).
Second, this blackmail story is made-up, lending agency to a stochastic parrot (and has been debunked).

After building on their land, settlers drove out residents of Maghayer Al-Dir, one of the last villages in the southern Jordan Valley.Jonathan Adler (+972 Magazine)
Saturday afternoon, the settlers’ routine “walking tour” through the village escalated into an organized attack. Four #settlers began shoving young #Palestinians standing on the roofs of structures being dismantled. “[The settlers] were looking for a fight,” said Avishay Mohar, an activist and photographer who was on the scene.
The settlers and Palestinians began throwing stones at each other. Just when the confrontation seemed to have ended, the settlers called reinforcements: about 25 additional settlers — some masked, many armed with assault rifles and clubs — joined the attack on residents and international activists, who began fighting back.
One settler was struck in the head by a large stone, collapsed and lost consciousness. A Palestinian was also struck in the face by a rock. A second settler, reportedly a minor, seized the pistol from the vest of his passed-out friend and began firing into the air. “Another settler showed up with an M16 and started shooting at us,” Mohar recalled. As panic spread, residents ran frantically toward the neighboring village.
...By the next morning, not a single resident remained in Maghayer Al-Dir. All 23 families, totaling around 150 people, had been forced to flee.

Since October 2023, over 60 Palestinian shepherding communities in the West Bank have been displaced, with at least 14 new outposts built on or near their ruins. One violently expelled community — Wadi Al-Siq — faced abuse that included sexual assault, leading to the disbandment of the Israeli army’s “Desert Frontier” unit.

As +972 reported in August 2023, most of the communities in the territory between Ramallah and Jericho, an area of 150,000 dunams, were forced to flee during the previous months as settlers began rapidly constructing herding outposts and violently descending on residents, all with the backing of the Israeli army and state institutions. Now, only two Palestinian communities — M’arajat and Ras Al-Auja — remain in the entire southern Jordan Valley.

Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- More than a dozen governments have condemned Israel after its forces opened fire on a European diplomatic delegation on Wednesday at the entrance of the Jenin rEditing Team (Quds News Network)
Over 50 Swiss diplomats are urging Bern to recognize Palestine and cut all ties with Tel Aviv’s military regime.
english.almayadeen.net/news/po…
The former diplomats also call for a halt to any Swiss financial investment linked to the Israeli military or intelligence sectors, emphasizing that #Switzerland must not be "financially or institutionally complicit in a military regime engaged in the mass killing and displacement of #Palestinians."
They further urge the Swiss government to ban the entry of individuals wanted by the International Criminal Court (#ICC), including Israeli occupation officials and Israeli settlers convicted of acts of violence. The letter specifically notes the ICC’s arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Security Minister Yoav Gallant as a legal basis for such measures.
In a shift from traditional Swiss policy, the former diplomats call for the immediate recognition of the State of #Palestine. They urge Bern to join the 148 #UN member states that have already taken this step, describing recognition as a moral and legal imperative amid what they identify as a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.

Arab states take part in Greek air drills alongside Israel

The drill, hosted by Greece from 31 March to 11 April, includes joint air combat simulations and operational coordination.
“All types of air operations will be executed at an intense combat pace, both day and night, covering the full spectrum of modern air warfare through a series of complex and highly realistic scenarios,” Greece’s Hellenic Air Force said in a statement.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation's (KAN) military correspondent Itay Blumenthal said on 31 March that Tel Aviv was surprised to see the full list of participants published on the Hellenic Air Force's website, especially given its request to keep its involvement, and that of others like Qatar, confidential – in light of Doha's known political support for #Hamas and its involvement in the ongoing “Qatargate” scandal.
Blumenthal noted that “#Qatar and #Israel are now training together in #Greece.”

ΚΛΟΝΙΣΜΕΝΗ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΧΡΟΝΙΑ ΤΩΡΑ
ΠΟΣΟ ΑΚΟΜΑ ΠΧΙΑ???
1 - What is GNOME ?
GNOME stood for GNU Network Modeling Environment at some point, which meant it was initially developed as a part of the GNU project. It was started by Miguel de Icaza in 1997, in reaction to the creation of the K Desktop Environment, which was, at the time, based on a non-free library.
2 - GNOME 1
The first version of GNOME was released in March of 1999. It sported a similar look to Windows and KDE? with a bottom panel, a task manager, and a main menu.
APPLICATIONS SHIPPING
GNOME 1.0 received 2 major updates in the next two years, namely GNOME 1.2, codenamed "Bongo", which focused on user experience, adding help and documentation, and new translations, and GNOME 1.4, "Tranquility, released in early 2001. 1.4 was a big release, introducing Nautilus, which managed the desktop, and served as the web browser and file manager.
3 - GNOME 2
GNOME 2 is still the longest running version of GNOME, with 2.0 releasing in June 2002. GNOME 2.0 revamped the whole desktop, basing itself on GTK 2, the next version of its base library. GNOME 2.0 introduced a lot of changes, adding font antialisasing, new icons and support for theming the stock icons, as well as streamlining the interface, removing some unused configuration options and making sure the interface was as accessible as possible. GNOME 2 introduced a dual panel setup, with the panel on top hosting the main menus and the system notifications, and the bottom one displaying the task manager as well as the virtual desktop switcher.
GNOME 2.0 was followed by 16 releases, one each month, lasting until GNOME 2.32, in september 2010. Notable highlights from these releases are the addition of a CD burner directly in Nautilus, replaced later by Brasero, a dedicated application, and a new spatial mode using one window per folder, the release of Epiphany, a GNOME web browser that still exists today and is the default on elementary OS, the creation of Evolution, a complete Outlook-like solution for email and calendar, the addition of a video player, Totem, and a document viewer, Evince.
GNOME 2 was the default on many distributions, most notably Ubuntu, during its whole cycle until XXXXX which switched to Unity, after the release of GNOME 3.
4 - GNOME 3
In April 2011, GNOME Shell 3.0 was released. Its goal was to unify the user experience, providing easier ways to start and maange applications and windows. Its first version was not that well received, some users indicating that "they forgot how stable and beautiful GNOME 2 was". GNOME 3 is still in use today, with version 3.30 being the current one at the time of this video's recording.
GNOME 3.0 redesigned the whole experience. Gone were the panels of old, and the task managers, replaced by an all in one overview of activities, grouping shortcuts, open applications, and virtual desktops in one place.
GNOME 3 came with a whole new theme called Adwaita, and most core GNOME applications were redesigned to better fit the new desktop metaphor.
Since these changes were not to the taste of everyone, some members of the community decided to fork the GNOME 2 codebase, and created MATE. Another group ran with GTK 3, but reimplemented the traditional desktop metaphor with GNOME shell extensions, eventually leading to the creation of Cinnamon.
GNOME 3 still pursued on with its new idea of how a desktop should operate, and received a lot of updates, going through 15 new releases, one every six months. Here are some highlights:
GNOME 3.2 brought synchronization with online accounts, as well as a contacts manager, and the support for web apps, which wre going strong in 2011.
GNOME 3.4, released in march 2012, put Documents, Epiphany, and Contacts through a redesign to better integrate with the rest of the desktop, and added Applications menus, smooth scrolling support, as well as a ton of improvements in the looks department.
GNOME 3.8 added an applications view, displaying the most frequently used programs, as well as the ability to see all applications. It also introduced a GNOME classic experience, for those that wanted to return to the GNOME 2 desktop layout.
GNOME 3.10, released in september 2013 added a bunch of new applications, most notably GNOME Maps, GNOME Notes, GNOME Music and GNOME Photos, bringing the GNOME software collection to a whole new level.
GNOME 3.24 added night light, a feature elementary OS Juno has added recently, to help reduce eye strain by reducing the amount of blue light emitted by the screen, and GNOME calendar got a week view.
GNOME 3.26 revamped the settings application with a navigation sidebar, and added firefox account sync to epiphany, its web browser.
Finally, the latest version, 3.30, was released in september 2018, and greatly improved desktop performance, using fewer system resources. With it also came auto updates for flatpaks, and a new Podcasts application, as well as a ton of other improvements.

The Problem with the Fediverse
I have no issues with the way it is implemented, I have no issues with it at all. For context, I left Twitter to join the Fedi, and it has been great so far! I use Misskey for microblogging, PeerTube for uploading videos, and Lemmy for Reddit-style discussions. The Fediverse is amazing!
Except, idk, for the fact that it is too fragmented? I hope I am using the right words. Like, the current instance I am on does not have support for communities, so i have to do it the hard way and mention @fediverse@lemmy.world so that I can post here. It's a good workaround, considering it doesn't have built-in support for communities.
But my point still stands. It's not a Lemmy/PieFed problem. It's mostly a fediverse problem. Implementing communities for every platform would help the Fediverse. Not only does it solve discoverability/algorithm issues of the Fediverse (since now when you follow a community, you get all posts from that community), but also it would interconnect every platform (Misskey, PeerTube, Mastodon, etc.)
Imagine you don't have to use your Lemmy account to check everything on Lemmy. Instead of creating channels in PeerTube, just post to an existing channel/community, and people subscribed to that channel/community can find you easily. I see this as an absolute win for everyone.
I understand this would require collaboration between all developers of all software. But hopefully, this is possible?
Or am I asking for too much?
If I am wrong, then is there any way in which we can solve this issue?

I think what will eventually happen is much like what happened to email, it too was very fragmented feeling early on but more and more adopted it and more servers kept developing and popping up and then at some point more service providers became more similar than alike and then it became what it is now.
The tricky part is that the concept and usefulness of a federated network mostly only grows in the long run and looks like its not going anywhere in the short term much like email and that is always what makes people question its efficacy.
Participation in any and all forms is what establishes it more and more.

Hopefully it's heading for that direction too.

its 2025, and people still dont know how to use email?! And they are using the internet?!!! Its clearly not the fediverse's fault...

Going back to the system as it functioned in 1900 would solve a LOT of problems. Feds have to collect taxes from state governments, and state governments appoint senators.
Whoever you put in congress, they have no reason not to spend more and more money. Go back to that system and now whenever the feds want to spend, that's money out of the budget of the states - who call the senators and say "WTF is this?!"

"The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism."
Hannah Arendt
Anyone else hearing from devs that they're being "strongly encouraged" to use LLMs by management - who are also raising expectations about "productivity gains" and "cost savings" - and they're not at all happy about it?
Is "A.I." just the latest stick to beat teams with?
Will Meet The Press ask random other white politicians to condemn Trump's antisemitic language this weekend? Or does that only apply to Mamdani?

"No death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowing from, in some cases, a fine banker. And in some cases, shylocks and bad people."

The old neocon dream of redrawing the Middle East through a series of regime changes to the benefit of the US and Israel, shelved for over a decade, has returned to the forefrontThomas Fazi
The Swiss government tries to fuck us over with a new "agreement" with the EU 😡
archive.ph/Nlu7V
Among others, the EU wants that Switzerland gives EU citizens (which includes all their 3rd world migrants who received papers after 5 years) a permanent residency status after just 5 years.
So people from the EU who work in Switzerland for 3.5 years, lose their job and collect unemployment insurance for 1.5 years would automatically be entitled to live on Swiss Social Security.
The official estimate is 3000 to 4000 more social security recipients immediately 😡
Based on all the bullshit they said previously, we can expect 200K social security recipients within 10 years.
I really hope that this agreement will be rejected by the people.
And fuck those sell-outs in the government ☠️

Die Migration prägt die Debatte über das Verhältnis zur EU. Auch mit den neuen Verträgen werde es keine direkte Zuwanderung in die Sozialhilfe geben, erklärt Vincenzo Mascioli, Staatssekretär für Migration.Daniel Gerny (dgy) (Neue Zürcher Zeitung)
Why does a narcissist build metaphorical "mirror rooms" where only his opinions matter? 🪞
Narcissists often create echo chambers — or "mirror rooms" — to surround themselves with reflections of their own beliefs and ideas. This serves to boost their fragile self-esteem and control the narrative around them. In these spaces, dissenting opinions are dismissed or punished, reinforcing their sense of superiority and validating their distorted self-image. Understanding this can help those affected see the patterns and reclaim their own voice. 🧠💡 #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare
