Don’t forget Nutomic.

I’m sure they are might be nice people IRL but they are authoritarian as hell and have terrible political opinion.

lemmy.dbzer0.com [chad]: “All governments are bad”

Depends what you mean. Fox opinion and the TV is on par with NYPost, perhaps even worse.

Foxnews.com general online news articles is better than NYPost.

And pigs seem to be somewhat egalitarian.

As Churchill put it:

I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Because they support the rich, when it’s CCP-enabled billionaires, or Ruling family of North Korea.

The only thing coherent about their ideology is being anti-West and “pro-East” (ie. Campist). Everything else will bend to fit with their campist views.

I’ve seen lefty people on the lemmyverse actually share the New York Post unironically because they happen to like a headline.

(The New York Post is a tabloid on par with Fox, in fact they’re owned by the same company as Fox News).

Yah it’s a joke.

I think that’s the goal, to make a loyal military.

The tories didn’t even seriously try decimating PIP in their decade+ in power.

To disabled people, Labour are looking worse than Tories.

 

What is the point of investigating avoidable deaths — of making bereaved families relive their trauma, of spending millions of public pounds — unless we are prepared to learn how to avoid similar fatal errors?

I’m new to android. (Default android 13, not looking to install custom ROMs because I need this to be very functional and dont have time to deal with bugs).

Anyways, I’ve installed F-Droid, Helix Keyboard and my go to VPN app.

What next? What browser, third party YT player, torrent client, jellyfin client (I’m deaf so need one with opensubtitle integration), email clients, rss aggregator, note taking apps etc. should I install? I’m paralysed by choice.

Is there an equivalent to the ios shortcuts app?

Anyways, I’ll be happy to try out any suggestions. Cheers.

 

Five years on from March 2020, millions of people still face debilitating symptoms, with huge repercussions on public health and productivity. But politicians are starting to pretend the pandemic never happened.

Article “Highlights”The unwillingness to discuss chronic illness in these conversations is especially concerning when combined with the scepticism faced by long Covid patients, who have to advocate for themselves so that medical professionals, employers and loved ones understand the gravity of their illness. Many report beingdisbelieved; shockingly, the then prime minister Boris Johnson scrawled “bollocks… this is Gulf War Syndrome” next to an October 2020 memo discussing long Covid and its symptoms. Anyone posting about their experience online is likely to be accused of lying, or being lazy, or in the pocket of big pharma. “I certainly think being disbelieved is one of the biggest traumas for Covid patients,” says Sinclair. (This distrust will be familiar to patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME/CFS, who have had their symptoms ignored or dismissed for decades. There is definitely overlap between long Covid and ME/CFS, says Sinclair, but they need to be differentiated.)

All of this conspires to make long Covid patients feel invisible, voiceless and forgotten. On top of the chronic pain and unpredictable recovery they face, the effect can be devastating to individuals’ mental health. Worrying numbers of long Covid patients report depression, anxiety and insomnia; in a 2022 survey, 45% of the nearly 200 patients who responded said they had contemplated suicide. “It’s a really awful illness,” says Heightman. “It’s not uncommon for us to have an appointment with someone, and them to share that they feel suicidal. It’s a particularly difficult illness to cope with, especially in people who were previously well, and the shock of losing their health and the uncertainty about the future is intolerable.”

Even though we are seeing fewer headlines about long Covid, previously healthy people are still contracting it, with each successive infection increasing the risk. “We sometimes will see someone who’s had Covid one, two or three times without problems, and then on the fourth time, suddenly they’ve got long Covid, and that makes them ill for a long time,” says Heightman. More disturbing still are the risks associated withchronic inflammation for long Covid patients, even if they have outwardly recovered. “It’s likely to age you,” says Sinclair, “so it’s going toshorten your telomeres, and therefore increase your risk of early death. It’s also going to increase your risk of any inflammatory condition: cancer is a high risk; we may get heart disease, diabetes, dementia. There’s a huge knock-on in every body system from long Covid.”

Tibetans have worked to protect the Tibetan language and resisted efforts to enforce Mandarin Chinese. Yet, Tibetan children are losing their language through enrolment in state boarding schools where they are being educated nearly exclusively in Mandarin Chinese. Tibetan is typically only taught a few times a week – not enough to sustain the language.

[...]

[Beijing's] Government policy forces all Tibetans to learn and use Mandarin Chinese. Those who speak only Tibetan have a harder time finding work and are faced with discrimination and even violence from the dominant Han ethnic group.

[...]

Meanwhile, support for Tibetan language education has slowly been whittled away: the government even recently banned students from having private Tibetan lessons or tutors on their school holidays.

Linguistic minorities in Tibet all need to learn and use Mandarin. But many also need to learn Tibetan to communicate with other Tibetans: classmates, teachers, doctors, bureaucrats or bosses.

[...]

The government refuses to provide any opportunities to use and learn minority languages like Manegacha. It also tolerates constant discrimination and violence against Manegacha speakers by other Tibetans.

These [Chinese] assimilationist state policies are causing linguistic diversity across Tibet to collapse. As these minority languages are lost, people’s mental and physical health suffers and their social connections and communal identities are destroyed.

An advanced type of MRI uncovers significant lung abnormalities in children and adolescents with long COVID, according to a new study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

 

Good video showing how credit card culture basically makes poor people pay for rich people’s luxury.

 

Russian state-controlled and pro-Kremlin outlets try to divide opponents by spreading rumours, lies, and slander while engaging troll factories, AI bots, and the like. This type of behaviour is consistent with classic psychological warfare operations. These efforts are taking up more space in the information landscape as they are made cheaper by AI and social media platforms designed to keep people glued to the screen. For the untrained eye, some Kremlin narratives could be mistaken as just ‘interesting news’ or ‘a fresh and alternative opinion’. Messages often focus on sowing division in societies between governments and people or pitting groups inside countries against each other

 

The first ever community-funded Long COVID surveillance in Mozambique and Congo started in 2023 thanks to trailblazing researchers.   Outbreaks or intensifications of civil wars have scattered both study participants and clinicians, thus curtailing progress.
