The UnitedHealth CEO was killed 30 days ago on December 4. Luigi Mangione is now on trial for that killing.

Since Dec 4, about 5589 Americans have died preventable deaths under America’s exploitative for profit health system.

So—when do the CEOs who knowingly enabled these deaths go on trial?

Tech is political.

You encode your values, your attitude and your bias into the code.

The tech you create can give you legitimacy. It can give you influence. Get rich enough (or start out rich enough) you get doors opened to you.

It's all power.

We can see what some people in tech do with that power.

We can however choose to not contribute to that enablement.

You're in FOSS you've made some sacrifices.

What's a little more?

I still cannot believe that the US dares to call itself civilized, and yet has no legal guarantee for a minimum of paid vacation days nor public health insurance. :neocat_googly_shocked:

you HAVE coffee
you don't NEED the cafe
you go make coffee

@Em @raf yeah, that was sorta my point. Europe is a fake continent not based on tectonic plates like all others.
But a political delineation based on 15th-16th century white supremacy. Of who is a real "civilized" person and who isnt.
Which to be frank is alot of how it is to this day.

the video of the 4 thieves vinegar collective at 38c3 has been taken down from media.ccc.de
wtf

@hypha I mean I don't agree with their reasoning. If I ran the site I wouldn't take it down. My best guess is health corpos have alot of money and are very litigious. And have spread the idea that self managed medication is harmful. Another thing is 4TVC tells people to do illegal stuff openly with the info they are providing, which I love. But might also go into why their video specifically was taken down. It is sad and frustrating but I'm unsurprised they are the target.

@bertrandterrier @finn@furry.energy oh yeah, he's Gentoo. Middle is Debian, left is Nixos, lobsters are Arch and Ubuntu, and Slackware is filming.

@hypha I'm unsurprised they are telling people how to do illegal stuff and how to do it. You can still find it here hopefully they will bring it back so you don't have to go to youtube.

One Weird Trick to Stop Getting Sick with Flu and Covid in 2025 (You Won't Believe How Easy It Is!) 

Wear an N95 respirator.

"I've been so sick since xmas"
"This cold has been sticking around for so long, I still feel awful"
"My kids are sick, I'm sick, my extended family is sick; this is so weird"
"No, it's not COVID, probably some kind of super bug"

When yourself and everyone you know is always sick, being sick becomes normalized. Must be that "new normal" we were promised!

Living like it's 2019 and being constantly sick is the "new normal" that won out over PPE and increased indoor air quality. This is the "new normal" they want us to live in, with zero mention of COVID to spare their "mental health". This is the "new normal" and the cost of (largely) unmitigated viral spread.

I can't accept that.

I won't accept that.

Fuck your "normal"; I'll continue with my "weird" life, thanks.

pirated an ebook because buying it would mean i would have to deal with the pain in the ass process of removing adobe drm so i could put it on my ereader. not even sorry

@raf oh and Germany forgot them, they colonized much of Africa and some of Micronesia

How do you define what is considered part of Europe?
