First #run in 25 days. Probably not advisable because of the tendonitis which doesn't seem to be going away. But I really really needed it. Rubbish run but that doesn't seem to matter. About 5k (6 really, but 5 is closer to how I ran). It's like a great weight has been lifted from me. Like I've been walking around in double gravity and now I'm free. Power to you, friends. X

you're asking all the wrong questions, "what do you want," and "how did you get in here," forget about all that stuff right now, what we really should be asking is which delivers faster to this residence, burgers or burritos, hey let's order both and run an empirical test



Imagine solving a problem so cleverly that you win a $20,000 bounty—only to be told you can’t share your solution because of a law meant to protect creativity. This isn’t dystopian fiction; it’s the reality of DMCA overreach. When did owning something stop meaning you can actually use, modify, or repair it? The right to tinker isn’t just about convenience; it’s about preserving the spirit of innovation and ownership.
Louis Rossmann’s cat has the right idea: ‘Pay attention to me’—because the real issue is that corporations are using digital locks to hold your property hostage. If a cat can understand the importance of autonomy, why can’t our laws? youtu.be/66j9dsPhAjE #RightToRepair #DigitalOwnership #DMCA #ConsumerRights

I just came across Louis Rossmann new video that highlights a significant issue for Android users.
Google's latest move is a game-changer—or should we say, a game-breaker? Your $1000 phone now needs Google's permission to install apps. This isn't about security; it's about control. Like the DMCA issue—this is just another example of corporations dictating what we can do with our own devices. It's time to stand up for our right to tinker and true digital ownership.

I've quit the whole ecosystem. No more smartphones for me. Im not going to spend the next years of my life trying to figure out how to navigate increasing risks from companies who really don't deserve my business in the first place.

This was always inevitable: monopoly is the only intended endstate of moneyarchy/concentration-of-wealth-archy, & Apple *isn't* "special" in any way, in its monopoly-enforcement behavior.

There is no escape, unless escape is force-legislated, & it may be too-late for governments to claim that leverage ( what would happen to any country which had all its cellphones bricked, by the 2 companies Apple & Google deactivating all their devices, while pulling-out? death: that country would instantly be converted into carrion. )

You have to fight-for-your-health *while you can win*, & waiting until the cancer has metastasized .. has consequences: then you only have remaining-short-time-quality-of-life-before-being-destroyed, left.

The countries of the world *handed* their survival to private-wealth & big-tech, & locked *themselves* in the designer prison.

@yarkot I love the ethos behind GrapheneOS—it’s such a great project for privacy and security!
But being locked to Pixel devices is a huge downside for those of us trying to avoid Google.
I try to prioritize open-source, ethically sourced tech whenever possible. It’s not about perfection (because, let’s be real, no tech is 100% clean in this world), but it does feel better to support companies that align with my values. That’s why I’m eyeing the PinePhone, Hackberry Q25, or Fairphone—they’re hacker-friendly, community-supported, and built with ethics in mind. It’s a small way to push back against the idea that we have to fund corporations that don’t respect our rights.
It’s a shame GrapheneOS isn’t available for more devices—I’d jump on it in a heartbeat if it were!

L'immagine è una caricatura in bianco e nero che raffigura due personaggi seduti a un tavolo. A destra, una donna con un copricapo e un abito a motivi intricati sta guardando un globo di cristallo posizionato al centro del tavolo. A sinistra, un uomo con capelli corti e semplici osserva la donna. La donna sembra essere una tarottista, con un'espressione seria e concentrata. Il testo sotto l'immagine recita: "Non posso vedere il tuo futuro, ma fortunatamente sono molto brava con generalità vaghe e mezzverità inutili." Questa frase suggerisce che la tarottista è in grado di fornire risposte ambigue e poco significative.

Bundeskanzler Merz geht davon aus, dass der Krieg erst aufhört, wenn Russland ihn nicht mehr führen kann und fordert deswegen mehr wirtschaftlichen Druck. Russland meldet den Vormarsch in der ostukrainischen Region Donezk.

#Covid vaccine access is a mess thanks to anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. undermining public health, but still I had no idea HOW MUCH of a mess, like in my state of MA.

TL;DR: CVS pharmacies in #Massachusetts can't give new covid shots at least until CDC ACIP meets again, but CVS Minute Clinics can.

Article doesn't mention other pharmacies like Walgreens or Costco, but I assume same laws apply.
