"Researchers have eliminated HIV from cells in a laboratory, raising hopes of a cure."

"According to the researchers, their work represents proof of concept, and will not become a cure for HIV tomorrow."

GERMANY HAS PASSED SELF-ID LAWS!

The Federal Republic joins 20 countries which have passed laws allowing people to declare their own legal gender. I hope someday this will apply across the whole EU.

On a more personal level, this means I can finally change my own legal gender to #nonbinary 🎉🏳️‍⚧️

Please boost, I’m trying to solve an issue. If you are using the sharkey webapp on IOS, can you watch videos from other instances without issue?

My close friend just got their Steam page approved for the game they've been putting nights and weekends into for over 8 years!

I think it's a truly special game, with great puzzles and an absurd amount of hidden content to discover. It has a cute artstyle and a banger original soundtrack.

Wishlist today to appease the steam algorithm and tell your friends!!

Boosts greatly appreciated!!

Forget the xz/liblzma backdoor in Linux distros, there's a confirmed backdoor in D-Link Network Attached Storage (NAS) products. Username is messagebus with an empty password. Tracked as CVE-2024-3273 (7.3 high, disclosed 26 March 2024), D-Link refuses to patch it because "All D-Link Network Attached storage has been End of Life and of Service Life for many years [and] the resources associated with these products have ceased their development and are no longer supported" 🔗 https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/over-92-000-exposed-d-link-nas-devices-have-a-backdoor-account/

Facebook memories just replayed this great memory to me from 5 years ago.

I did not read Percy Jackson as a kid but the author is vocally extremely supportive of trans and nonbinary kids and has a trans character in his books and several main characters who aren’t white, so like, if you want a fantasy series alternative for ur kids that’s not by a racist terf he seems fine. they also fight gods instead of becoming fantasy-cops which is a plus in my book

Thought for the day: if your business is collecting personal data sufficiently sensitive that your government doesn't want it to be processed or sold overseas, then you shouldn't be collecting it in the first place. (That aspect of your business should be totally illegal.)

Remember in Blues Brothers when they end up at the Nazi rally and the point isn't even that Jake really hates Nazis, it's that Nazis are about the biggest losers that anyone could imagine. They are portrayed as completely pathetic dead-ender assholes.

Or in the Rocketeer when the mobsters find our the Sinclair guy is a Nazi and join forces with the FBI to stop them because Nazis are clearly the worst thing.

Or when Christopher Plummer rips the Nazi flag in two in Sound of Music.

None of these films were making bold political statements. The Nazis were the bad guys because that was something that everyone in the audience could agree one. Dunking on Nazis was a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

When the hell did we stop agreeing on something so simple and self-evident as Nazis Are Fucking Losers?

I've sent this email to art directors I've worked with at Wizards of the Coast. I hope other Magic or D&D artists will do the same or similar.

My 6YO: I like how she dresses.
Me: How THEY dress. They're non binary, they prefer "they" instead of "she".
6YO What is non bi .. bina ...
ME: Non binary. It means they don't feel like a girl or a boy, they just feel like themselves. "Boy" or "girl" doesn't really fit for them.
6YO: Oh, ok!

IT'S THAT EASY, FOLKS.

The Indian government has now made dark patterns illegal. This is huge.
