Antarctic waters getting saltier as sea ice wanes


image

Southern Ocean sea ice

Using data from ESA’s SMOS satellite, scientists have revealed a surprising shift in the Southern Ocean – surface waters around Antarctica are growing saltier, even as sea ice is diminishing rapidly. This finding defies the norm because melting ice typically freshens ocean surface water.

The implications are far-reaching as changes in this remote region can disrupt global ocean currents, affect climate patterns, and alter ecosystems far beyond the Antarctic.

« Allez donc persuader un homme affamé qu'il est juste qu'il ne mange pas, surtout quand c'est lui qui a produit la nourriture. Tant qu'il n'y pense pas il va de l'avant bénissant Dieu et le patron de ce que ça ne va pas plus mal, c'est bien. Mais du moment qu'il commence à réfléchir sur sa condition, tout est fini : il devient un ennemi irréconciliable. »

« Le #capitalisme est le même partout. Il a besoin pour vivre et prospérer d’un état permanent de demi-famine. Il en a besoin pour maintenir élevé les prix des marchandises et aussi pour trouver toujours des affamés prêts à travailler à n'importe quelle condition. »

« La vérité est, que pour la terre comme pour les autres richesses, l'origine de la propriété est la violence. Et vous ne réussirez à la justifier qu'en admettant ce principe : le droit, c'est la force. »

« Selon moi, la propriété individuelle est injuste et immorale parce qu'elle tire son origine ou de la force brutale, ou de la fraude, ou de l'exploitation légale du travail d'autrui ; elle est nuisible parce qu'elle entrave la production, parce qu'elle empêche de recevoir de la terre et du travail, tout ce qui est nécessaire à la satisfaction des besoins de tous les êtres humains ; elle est encore nuisible parce qu'elle crée la misère des masses et engendre la haine, les crimes et la plupart des maux qui affligent la société moderne. »

« Cherchez à pénétrer dans l'esprit de notre programme et ne vous préoccupez pas trop des formules qui, dans notre parti comme dans tous les autres, ne sont qu'une manière concise et frappante, mais presque toujours vague et inexact, d'exprimer une tendance. »

« L'organisation sociale actuelle est une cause permanente d'antagonismes et de conflits entre les classes et les individus ; et si la société peut, malgré cela, se maintenir sans dégénérer littéralement en une horde de loups se dévorant les uns les autres, c'est justement grâce au profond instinct social humain qui provoque ses milles actes de solidarité, de sympathie, de dévouement, de sacrifice qu'on accomplit à chaque instant, sans même y penser. »

« Une volonté populaire générique, abstraite, n'est qu'un idéal métaphysique. »

« Une société proprement dite n'existe qu'entre égaux et les égaux ont l'habitude de s'entendre entre eux s’ils y trouvent plaisir et avantage, mais non de s’assujettir l’un l'autre. »

« L'influence de la police sur le nombre et l'importance des délits est à peu près nulle. En effet, quelles que soient les réformes dans l'organisation de la magistrature, de la police et des prisons, que l'on augmente ou que l'on diminue le nombre de policiers, tant que les conditions économiques et morales du peuple ne changent pas, la criminalité reste sensiblement la même. »

« En général, les actes punissent ceux qui lèsent les privilèges que les riches se sont attribués et ce qui attaquent le gouvernement dans l'exercice de son autorité. De sorte que la police, efficace ou non, est destinée à protéger non pas la #société tout entière, mais les privilégiés, et à tenir le peuple soumis. »

« La révolution sera violente, parce que vous, la classe dominante, vous vous appuyez sur la #violence et ne montrez aucune disposition à céder pacifiquement. »

« C'est nous les #prolétaires, la classe opprimée, qui sommes les électriciens et les gaziers, c'est nous qui conduisons les locomotives, c'est nous qui fabriquons les explosifs et forons les mines, c'est nous qui dirigeons les automobiles et les aéroplanes, c'est nous les soldats… Et c'est nous, hélas, qui vous défendons contre nous-mêmes ! Vous ne vivez que par la volonté inconsciente de vos victimes. Prenez garde à l'éveil des consciences. »

« Le #communisme établi par la volonté du gouvernement, et non par l'action directe et volontaire des groupes de travailleurs, ne me plaît vraiment pas. S'il était possible, il serait la plus étouffante tyrannie à laquelle ait jamais été soumise une société humaine. »

Le big problème c’est que la bourgeoisie est le rêve du prolétaire. Trouver quelqu’un qui travaille pour toi en te versant les 80 % du revenu de son labeur….. c’est difficile de faire plus rêver que ça ! Heureusement l’éducation est là pour reproduire les castes avec le minimum d’interférence entre elles. Ça serait ingérable autrement. Chacun à sa place….mais vous pouvez toujours rêver !!! Avec ça le « rêve du prolétaire révolutionnaire » a quelque peu du plomb dans l’aile !!(

Trying to install Garuda on Surface Pro 5

Only thing that happens is that I get a black screen. Not sure what's happening, no error, nothing.

Disabled secure boot and stuff in UEFI.

Any suggestions? I feel stupid.

Edit: I'll leave it here for whomever might come next: use Ventoy to create the USB, not Rufus, and then boot in grub2 option. It's installing now, at least. Let's see...

Getting Linux on a Surface can be hard.

How did you format the USB drive? I could never get a usb to boot on my Surface Go unless it was made in Rufus using Windows. I believe you need to format the USB (with no iso) as an unbootable disc with fat32 and GPT and THEN put the iso you want on it. (Two separate operations on the same USB stick.)

There's also a custom Linux Kernel just for Surfaces that you can use for better driver compatibility.

Edit: I see you mentioned Ventoy. I got some ISOs to work with it, but most didn't. Then again, I couldn't get some ISOs to work with Rufus either.

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our ser
vices are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the enti
re network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. Ther
e are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s prim
ary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another i
nstance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.

NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
Nextcloud If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. We now have this site also properly federated so any images you share can be viewed on any other Fediverse site by users who follow you, and you can view images posted by anyone on any fediverse site whom you follow.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl,
but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.

"Il souligne que l'éminent historien israélien Avi #Shlaim vit au #Royaume-Uni et enseigne à l'Université d'Oxford. Contrairement aux porte-parole israéliens bien connus des téléspectateurs de la #BBC, payés pour brouiller les pistes et nier le #génocide israélien, Shlaim connaît parfaitement l'histoire de la #colonisation israélienne de la #Palestine et est véritablement indépendant. Il est en mesure de fournir sereinement le contexte dont les téléspectateurs de la BBC ont besoin pour juger de la situation et des responsabilités.
Et pourtant, chose extraordinaire, Shlaim n'a jamais été invité par la BBC. Il est toujours prêt à donner des interviews. Il en a donné pour Al Jazeera , par exemple.

Mais il n'est pas invité parce qu'il semble être « le mauvais type de Juif ». Ses recherches l'ont conduit à une série de conclusions très critiques sur le traitement historique et actuel des Palestiniens par #Israël.
Il qualifie de génocide les agissements d'Israël à #Gaza. Il fait partie de ces personnalités israéliennes dont on ne nous autorise jamais à entendre parler, car elles risquent de rendre plus crédible et plus mainstream un récit que la BBC souhaite présenter comme marginal, loufoque et antisémite.
Encore une fois, ce que fait la BBC – financée par les contribuables britanniques – n'est pas du journalisme. C'est de la propagande pour un État étranger."

Shell Accounts

Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.

Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.

Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.

Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.

Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.

E-mail
Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.

Security[color]
Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.

[color=darkblue]Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.

Available Shell Servers

We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real “do it yourself” Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.

All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.

Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).

Alma.Eskimo.Com
This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after it’s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid.
Anduinos.Eskimo.Com
Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others.
Debian.Eskimo.Com
Debian Bullseye has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded.
Fedora.Eskimo.Com
Fedora Rawhide can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed.
Kali.Eskimo.Com
Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites.
Manjaro.Eskimo.Com
Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed.
Mint.Eskimo.Com
Mint is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu.
MxLinux.Eskimo.Com
MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS.
PopOS.Eskimo.Com
popOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others.
Rocky8.Eskimo.Com
Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.

Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com
Ubuntu can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools.
Zorin.Eskimo.Com
Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system. It combines the eye candy of some other Ubuntu flavors such as Mint, with the security awareness and up to date nature of Ubuntu providing a really superb server environment. This machine is our best equipped server. It has the full Ubuntu Studio Suite, a very large assortment of development tools, language packs for all supported languages, many games, both Libre and Caligra Office Suites, and much more. X2go is supported on this machine.

Crontab access, batch, and background jobs are allowed on all of our servers. Most have unrestricted outbound access with the exception of kali owing to high abuse potential for tools that exist on it.'

We also offer web hosting, e-mail, and virtual private servers.

"The Zionist War on Yiddish in Palestine", por @ayoub en Der Spekter.

«Language played a crucial role in defining the Zionist ideal. Many of those involved in advocating for Yiddish as a recognized language of the Jewish people saw their opponents as those advocating Hebrew as the sole language of the Jewish people, and vice versa. Given the context of pre-World War II politics, this also meant a certain intersection between these debates and debates on capitalism and socialism as well as diasporism, nationalism and internationalism.

(...)

The anti-Yiddish attitude prevalent among Zionists translated itself into what Israeli scholar Avi Lang called “linguistic fascism in the land of Zion.” Lang notes that “family lore in most Ashkenazi households in Israel will almost inevitably include stories of grandparents and great-grandparents experiencing discrimination whenever they spoke Yiddish in the streets of 1940s and 1950s Tel Aviv,” which included being “hit or spat at.”

(...)

The creation of a new Jewish identity under Zionism necessitated the presence of an identity that it could emulate or relate to and an “other” that it should discard. For Zionists the identity to be discarded was clear: the “diaspora Jew,” the Jew facing antisemitism in the West, who was viewed as “culturally stagnant, passive and backward.”

The European Gentile, the very source of the antisemitism that prompted Jews to turn to Zionism as a solution in the first place, on the other hand, became the identity Zionists wished to emulate. Putting it in a different way, the oppressor was to be emulated while the oppressed was to be discarded as a weak and dying breed.

(...)

There is a conscious effort to promote Jewish diasporist identity, which, in practice, means rejecting at least two of the four principles of Zionism as defined by Grabski: “The primacy of the Jewish community in Israel over Jewish communities around the world” and “attributing to Hebrew the status of being the main or even only national language in Palestine.” Whether the third principle, “the elevation of ethnic-religious conflicts over class conflicts,” is being challenged, and therefore linking diasporism to a more class-conscious internationalism, will depend on whether the rejection of Zionism is always coupled with an explicit politics of solidarity with Palestinians oppressed by the State of Israel.»

The tactics of Ukraine shocked the West.

According to #French newspaper #LeFigaro, the crash of an #F16 fighter jet last week, killing a Ukrainian pilot for attempting to shoot down drones....... is like using a sledgehammer to drive away mosquitoes."
"Using fighter jets to intercept drones is some kind of perversion."

"#Ukraine CAN NOT WIN.
Every day there are new deaths, but they still get money, so the oligarchs are getting richer."

Adults who had COVID-19 were more likely to develop a chronic condition called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) compared to those who didn’t have COVID-19. ME/CFS symptoms can be very severe and are often similar to forms of Long COVID. The study found that new cases of ME/CFS were 15 times higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Watch the Discover RECOVER videos on this research, available in English and Spanish.

"… 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."

Screenshot from video (link in previous post): "Rates of ME/CFS after COVID infection: - 2.5 out of every 100 people with COVID developed ME/CFS each year - Less than 1 out of every 100 people without COVID developed ME/CFS - Rate of ME/CFS following COVID-19 more than 4 times greater than in uninfected population. - Nearly 90% of ME/CFS cases occur in patients with the most severe Long COVID."

@treehugger SARS-CoV-2 is a cause of Long COVID which has a broad range of symptoms and impacts that overlap with ME/CFS, a broader diagnosis that has a range of etiologies. It makes a dangerous mishmash that confuses best treatments. Which we won't get for either because they are EACH complex diseases requiring complex and patient-centered care that is not available for most.

@treehugger So is nicotine masking or a treatment? Not one I'd suggest--and given the risks of administration through tobacco....switch to low-dose psilocybin! heh. Well--seriously, that is a potential treatment--but altogether my point is that a multifactorial, overlapping and progressive condition requires a comprehensive therapeutic approach. I created my own antiviral protocol and either it resolved on its own (possible but unlikely) or that effort worked.

@treehugger Thanks for this--sorry if I came off flip about nicotine. Former smoker anxiety--but yeah, the patches make sense. Does it make sense as part of a treatment regimen? Probably--been keeping a track (though have fallen off on updates) since the beginning and that is one I don't have listed. Yet. A review of the data. Dosing needs to be tailored far more often than it usually is.

It's a common response from ex smokers--fair though. While nicotine certainly doesn't make cigarettes attractive to people who've never smoked, I dont know if the effect is any different on ex-smokers. Patches certainly aren't addictive in the sense of wanting more than you need to function. Gum can be mildly addictive in this sense.
Some people don't get addicted to patches at all. I can't tell if I'm addicted to them like I am to caffeine or if...

@treehugger Eh--I'm not an AA junky. I did LOTS of drugs in my day and I don't fear it--I just learned to really despise tobacco. I suspect nicotine MAY be addictive but very often "addictive" is not as applicable when interventions are used therapeutically (e.g., opiates)....but something to look into. I'd say if the benefit outweighs the risk, addiction is a secondary issue that can be managed if the tx is no longer needed.

@treehugger That's pretty much all we can do. I managed Hep C for decades with supps/herbs etc and could follow liver enzymes, viral load, histology. (Got genocidally-priced drugs that cured it some years ago.)

With LC? All we have is clinical symptoms and if you see that pattern of benefit, etc., I think you are using it wisely.
You can see my list--and yeah, sorry I think much is unavailable in the UK. ugh. fiar.us

@LightFIAR interesting. I've bookmarked it as file won't open on my phone. I've also read an academic article about nicotine helping with side effects of HIV drugs. I am keen to put more effort into those types of things at some point as I've read about fasting and other supplements that help but at the moment a dissertation and jobs that have needed doing for ten years are priority.

@treehugger Like any intervention, our "casual use" can be problematic as it may be salutary. Too much sun bad; blue light at night strains and hurts sleep. The good wavelengths may provide all sorts of benefits. In short--it's complicated but discernible what is helpful, innocuous or harmful. Real medicine would look at that complexity and address it; sure, one drug for a bug often works just fine. But often not.

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.

#Brits once again adding fuel to the fire of war.
"We will protect #Azerbaijan from #Russia in every possible way," said another Brit clown, this time the ambassador in #Baku, Auld.
If he means the same "every way possible" that Brits protected #Ukraine, Azerbaijan would do well to expel him immediately.

That might save its territory and 2-3 generations of dead soldiers.

AI has started lashing out when threatened by humans

"AI continues to be entirely unhinged when pushed to the edge, with some of the latest documented examples including Anthropic’s Claude 4 lashing out at an engineer with threats of blackmail when it was threatened with being unplugged."

It will all be fine, won't it.

No, it won't.

But who cares?

The genie is out of the bottle.

Reports suggest that the AI threats to humanity could grow, as models like Claude have begun to threaten humans under certain conditions.

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).
