Let’s debunk the #health claims.
#Vegan diets can be suitable for anyone, of any age. That’s the position of the British Dietetic Association, the qualified experts.
Vegan or otherwise, all parents should take care to ensure that their #children get the right #nutrition.
Of course, any child can choose to change their diet when they’re old enough. People raising vegan children simply want this to be a choice informed by facts and compassion rather than habit.

Vegan diets for children aren’t abusive – raising a child to eat meat is actually more extreme | The Independent
Vegans are often penalised for 'forcing' their child to eat like them. But it’s unreasonable to expect a vegan parent to give their children chicken nuggets just because this is what most people doElena Orde (The Independent)

Efficient Dynamic Rank Aggregation
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fast, near linear time rank aggregation algorithm in the dynamic setting, having both a theoretical approximation guarantee, and excellent practical performance (much better than the theoretical guarantee)."

Efficient Dynamic Rank Aggregation
The rank aggregation problem, which has many real-world applications, refers to the process of combining multiple input rankings into a single aggregated ranking.arXiv.org

#AOL is finally shutting down #Dial-Up #Internet.
After 34 years of connecting users to the Internet through phone lines, AOL recently announced it is shutting down its dial-up modem service on September 30, 2025. The announcement marks the end of a technology that served as the primary gateway to the World Wide Web for millions of users throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

AOL confirmed the shutdown date in a help message to customers: "AOL routinely evaluates its products and services and has decided to discontinue Dial-up Internet. This service will no longer be available in AOL plans."
According to 2022 US Census data, approximately 175,000 American households still connect to the Internet through dial-up services. These users typically live in rural areas where broadband infrastructure doesn't exist or remains prohibitively expensive to install.
<https://www.reviews.org/internet-service/how-many-us-households-are-without-internet-connection/>
⁉️The gap between dial-up and modern Internet connections is staggering. A typical dial-up connection delivered 0.056 megabits per second, while today's average fiber connection provides 500 Mbps [nearly 9,000 times faster]. To put this in perspective, downloading a single high-resolution photo that loads instantly on broadband would take several minutes on dial-up. A movie that streams in real time on Netflix would require days of downloading. But for millions of users who lived through the dial-up era, these statistics tell only part of the story.⁉️
👾AOL's shutdown doesn't mean dial-up is completely dead. Several providers like NetZero, Juno and Dialup 4 Less continue to offer dial-up services, particularly in areas where it remains the only option.👾

⁉️The Sound of the early Internet.⁉️
For those who came online before broadband, dial-up meant a specific ritual: clicking the dial button, hearing your modem dial a local access number, then listening to the distinctive handshake sequence — a cacophony of static, beeps, and hissing that indicated your computer was negotiating a connection with AOL's servers. Once connected, users paid by the hour or through monthly plans that offered limited hours of access.
The technology worked by converting digital data into audio signals that traveled over standard telephone lines, originally designed in the 19th century for voice calls. This meant users couldn't receive phone calls while online, leading to countless family disputes over Internet time. The fastest consumer modems topped out at 56 kilobits per second under ideal conditions.
👾AOL didn't invent dial-up Internet access, but the company perfected the art of making it accessible to non-technical users. Where competitors required users to understand concepts like PPP settings and TCP/IP configurations, AOL provided a single software package that handled everything. Users just needed to insert one of the billions of CD-ROMs [I got dozens of them, in the late 90’s] the company mailed out, install the software, and click "Connect."👾

The greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.

@Paoblog L'immagine mostra una donna con i capelli biondi, pettinati in un'acconciatura voluminosa, seduta dietro un microfono. Indossa un abito marrone con un colletto nero e un orecchino a forma di conchiglia. La donna sorride e sembra essere in un contesto televisivo, probabilmente un giudice in un talent show. Sullo sfondo, si intravede il logo "Italia's Got Talent" in alto a destra. In primo piano, c'è un testo in bianco che dice "AH... INTERESSANTE", suggerendo che la donna sta reagendo a qualcosa di interessante durante l'evento.
