I'd argue even that's better than what we're getting now. If you're looking for a car and they're all in the most popular colour by default, then A. There's a good chance you're happy with it; B. You can change it later; but most importantly C. you already want a car. You've already bought into the product and are just quibbling about colour. This is seeing all the streetcars in LA being torn up, and a GM salesman is enthusiastically explaining how to get a driving license because it's what everyone's doing now they've ensured there is no choice.

The initiative to create the social media platform W is supported by an advisory board and former ministers and business representatives, primarily from Sweden.

Welp, that URL's borked.

As far as I know none of the EU member countries have their own Mastodon servers and most politicians at least here in Sweden seem to be using either X or (the technically minded “progressives”) Bluesky, while they complain about American Big Tech.

Ireland has Mastadon.ie, it's not official but it is at least a server there.

It's not just records from hospitals.

The company is encouraging users to connect their personal medical records and wellness apps, such as Apple Health, Peloton, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, and Function, “to get more personalized, grounded responses to their questions.” It suggests connecting medical records so that ChatGPT can analyze lab results, visit summaries, and clinical history; MyFitnessPal and Weight Watchers for food guidance; Apple Health for health and fitness data, including “movement, sleep, and activity patterns”; and Function for insights into lab tests.

It's noted in the article.

When asked if ChatGPT Health is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gross said that “in the case of consumer products, HIPAA doesn’t apply in this setting — it applies toward clinical or professional healthcare settings.”

One of my favourites is Fortress (1992). This has an 38% rotten and a 40% popcorn meter rating on Rottentomatoes.

I'd like to take this moment to say I fucking love Fortress and I wish it had the bigger budget it lost when Arnold pulled out of the project.

It reminds me of the gameplay footage played on short videos to provide visual content while audio is playing, or games optimised for streamers to play and overreact to. They aren't games that are intended to be played and provide enjoyment that way, but as tools for others to turn into enjoyment from playing them, and then their audience gets that enjoyment from participation or simply watching.

Also ofc so-called “White Supremacists” are always hilarious because so many don’t realize Irish, Polish, and a bunch of other light-skinned European people don’t count as “white” to their fellow bigots because they really mean Aryan

It was very funny hearing the founder of the Ozarks whites-only compound complaining about residents trying to bring their Mexican wives. I still don't know how they think Mexico is somehow a pit of racially damaged subhumans, but have no opinion on Spain (hint, it's because Spain was fascist in WWII).

This is just a picture, is there supposed to be an article?

It's something you'd hear in Australia (where this happened) or the UK more often than the US.

“a safety initiative … intended to deter and prevent illegal overnight parking in the area”

Ah. So you only turn them on at night, then. Right?

Unfortunately a common side effect of SSRIs is sexual dysfunction, and many men have a lot of their pride and identity bound up in sex. I ended up quitting escitalopram out of sheer frustration because I was capable of and indeed frequently did get aroused but was unable to relieve it. (not to say domestic abusers would have healthy sex lives to begin with)
