Orange Is the New Black and How to Get Away With Murder star speaks about the disease and another way of looking at health
This is a very worthwhile interview with actor Matt McGorry (Orange Is the New Black), who wants people to realize the threat of Long #COVID19.
"The science is really clear that getting Covid over and over again is not good for anyone. It feels like where the climate movement was like 10 years ago, where the scientists were saying things and people were not really listening."
Save someone from chronic illness (possibly even yourself). Wear a mask when you can.

From glued-in batteries to software lockouts, you're paying more than ever for gadgets that won't last. Here's why and what can do done about it.
From glued-in batteries to software lockouts, you're paying more than ever for gadgets that won't last. Here's why and what can do done about it.
Nearly every device we rely on -- from laptops and smartphones to IoT gadgets -- is designed to fail. Repairs are so expensive they might as well not exist. Upgrades? Forget them. And when something breaks, you often have no option but to replace the entire device. It's a scam, plain and simple, dressed up as progress.

A new white paper envisions a radically different technological future
After the election of Donald Trump, the power of Silicon Valley needs to be challenged now more than ever — and that requires countries to take control of their technological destinies.
I’m thrilled to share a new white paper I helped co-author called “Reclaiming Digital Sovereignty” with Cecilia Rikap, Cedric Durand, Edemilson Paraná, and Paolo Gerbaudo.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s attempts to reckon with formaldehyde have been repeatedly thwarted by the companies that rely on it. If the past is any guide, even modest steps toward reform are all but guaranteed to hit a dead end under Trump.
Formaldehyde Causes More #Cancer Than Any Other Toxic Air Pollutant. Little Is Being Done to Curb the Risk.

Before we get going — please enjoy my speech from Web Summit, Why Are All Tech Products Now Shit? I didn’t write the title. What if what we're seeing today isn't a glimpse of the future, but the new terms of the present? What if artificial intelligence isn't actually capable
There's always some kid pointing out that the emperor has no clothes. Meanwhile, courtiers, toadies, and carpetbaggers are too busy acquiring vast sums of wealth to care.
We've entered the post-truth economy. My prediction is that soon, all stocks will be meme stocks, their performance driven by culture rather than anything resembling business fundamentals.
Until all the wealth is extracted, then we fold up tents and loot the next economy.

Such an absolute scorcher on the state of generative Ai. Hard to pick a favorite passage, but this one works.
"The entire tech industry has become oriented around a dead-end technology that requires burning billions of dollars to provide inessential products that cost them more money to serve than anybody would ever pay."

People with funds locked in Celsius Network have been sending letters to the judge presiding over the Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. These are excerpts from those letters.
Many people believed that because Celsius was based in the US, it was carefully regulated and therefore safe. Letters written to the judge in the bankruptcy case revealed the extent of the devastation to people around the world, some of whom had their entire life savings or retirement money on the platform. I published some excerpts (https://blog.mollywhite.net/celsius-letters/) back in July 2022.
I met some of my closest friends through multiplayer games. Then a strange happening turned everyone (literally) speechless.
Gamers are starting to feel lonely? Well hot damn maybe if other gamers didn't harass women and minority gamers... (I play lots of games and I would *never* turn on a microphone because I know better)
