On the other hand

Why are so many women saying their periods are suddenly late or irregular? Experts explain https://dailynews.co.za/lifestyle/health/2026-07-14-why-are-...

Your menstrual cycle may affect how well vaccines work https://www.newscientist.com/article/2532245-your-menstrual-...

COVID-19 vaccine 'disrupted the periods of thousands of women' - but changes 'short-lived' https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-vaccine-disrupted-the-pe...

I always use open source apps, but at the same time I wonder how can my we all benefit from each other data respectfully of privacy, health or otherwise

And anyway the data that the other 50 apps are collecting on most people phones can be used to infer most of this. Your locations, what you bought recently, what you searched online, which sites have you been, what you asked your chat bot, what you liked or viewed in social media...

21k from around one year

I use the extension 'Tree Style Tab', with some settings changed, and 'Auto Tab Reaper' to unload old tabs. Or Sidebery

Eventually I will probably just bookmark them Ctrl-Shift-D, which was what I was doing before, at the end of the day for all tabs open

So later I can tell the llm to go mine something forgotten

Quite sad to think society will more easily be apart and develop a relation with a company bot

Switching quickly turns into "Here is a list of 10 easy steps..."

For anyone with a working homelab there is no reason to switch

If you're worried about security, both need extra work

Don't like having a 2 piece keyboard, or missing F keys

Can I get a full layout keyboard, split, wired, with a trackball, in a single board. Or is that too much to ask?

Meanwhile, Keychron Q10 is the best

Waylanders propaganda to scare people to move away x11

And rewriting POCs of existing projects will not necessarily increase productivity

Maybe development generally was getting unnecessarily complex, and people were cutting corners. And now with AI they will be able to do it better. Which possibly wouldn't directly justify the amount invested AI

Claude code does detect this

It was the first time I got surprised about AI code QA

It will note an inconsistency on: nil check, on constructor, returning an error VS nil check, on process function, failing silently

You can see the code

Clearly is not large. Second the child object is a pointer so does not violate anything

And if if if... I am sure we can look for new constraints in any language

To avoid propagating the pointer I would change *RateLimiter to RateLimiter

DecodeRequest can return Request instead of *Request, or error if not valid

Also I would replace `if userID == "" {` with `if err != nil {`. If an object is not loaded successfully returning error I think is more standard

Parents parenting is good. But there are no easy tools for them toto limit apps and websites on the device. And these companies provide very little help

Probably making fund to provide an alternative social media with vetted content for children, without addictive features like feed scrolling, and requiring in person friendships or school partnership, would probably go further to help than bans

As someone who grew up with fewer options, I disagree. It was precisely because I had so few options that I explored (both physically and mentally).

Can't see how having facebook banned but roblox, telegram groups, reddit, yt kids available will improve their mental health

But banning everything is also probably just as dumb

“Children will be given back their childhoods,”

Taking options away from children will not make their lives better just by itself

And this social media ban might only move the conversation to less transparent channels

WhatsApp and Telegram know more about children than their parents

And child can still spend all doing unhealthy stuff. YouTube kids is addictive enough, at home watching Netflix, playing video games, tablet/phone addictive games...

So the only real solution is force companies to provide better parental controls, maybe aided by AI

And force companies to add better controls/defaults for the population in general to reduce addictive features

Me/Wife have read every single day before bed to our daughter, since before she could talk, and we still do. Books from the library. And some effort involved

Now she also reads a 150 page book every other day

At the age of 7 she has read more books than I did my whole life. Which I don't think I did much anyway

Such a serious effect I would expect tons of research on it. And being commonly known

But it is a seemingly new symptom being attributed to measles

Between that and doctors refusing to diagnose long covid or lyme disease. Which have a much bigger link to immune disorders

One would think someone is trying to muddy the waters. Or accidentally misattributing

/e/OS 4.0 is here 1 month ago

Installed it recently for my mother

Seems quite good overall. One the most complete ROMs out of the box

The other day moved the Thunderbird folder profile to another PC, the password was not saved, and I ignored the password pop up a few times, then it started deleting the inbox emails

And it is not the first time it feels unreliable

I would like to think there is a good and reliable open source email client

As expected, someone working for 50 years, and saving some, having more money than someone who worked less

Same for power, for example in companies generally comes with seniority and career years of experience

Not sure what other distribution could anyone expect and which system rules would support it
