12·10 days agoThe medical sense of “jab”, meanwhile, has a rather less salubrious origin, as a 1914 dictionary of criminal slang introduces it: “Jab, current amongst morphine and cocaine fiends. A hypodermic injection.”

5·10 days agoThe UK has always called it a jab and headlines are optimized for length. This sentiment is just US defaultism.

21·10 days agoNot even close. The Guardian is way better and the only English (as in England) news source that is independent. It’s extremely good.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Hawaii just entirely removed corporations' power to spend money in politics. This could be a game changer for US democracy.English
2·13 days agoI think so. There’s just one significant change that I don’t think affects the main goal.
The law said that corporations had artificial-person rights, “the same powers as an individual to do all things necessary or convenient to carry out its business and affairs”, including (but not limited to) those in a list. _Citizens United _ basically tacked electoral spending onto that list. The original bill would make the law say “[corporations will only have these rights that we say and nothing else]” followed by the original list. The version that was signed is much more like the original law; it said corporations had artificial-person rights other than electoral spending including (but not limited to) those in the original list.
There was also a later amendment that changed the effective date from 1 January to 1 July.

1·13 days agoyou’re saying they would be afraid of the gallows, for the sole purpose of saying they’d do it, which would mean that we wouldn’t need to give them the gallows. that is one step away from saying we don’t need the gallows because they’d do it by themselves. that is dangerous.
did you read the actual (heathermeeker.com) link you posted? here’s its very second paragraph:
This week, many people sent me the link to the Malus “Clean Room as a Service” announcement. I don’t think I’ve ever had so many people send me a single link. Now, ‘’‘this website is fake’‘’, but you have to wade into it a bit to figure that out. No real company would be foolish enough to represent anything as “legally distinct,” for example. The name “Malus” suggests a bad actor, and I guess it’s a pun on Manus, a popular AI agent. So, it seems site is a troll.

Wikipedia@lemmy.world•WMF Community Tech team disbanded, engineers laid offEnglish
1·20 days agoIn fact a lot of community technical-focused volunteers don’t do a lot of editing either. All Anomie of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AnomieBOT has done is update list tables and sales figures and ze is a highly respected technical editor who, besides the bot and bot approvals, just does a lot of anchor maintenance.
I don’t think it’s bad that WMF employees don’t have experience editing, as that’s a very different skillset from WMF’s software development, infrastructure, and fundraising missions, but I do agree the lack of community communication is concerning. And thing is, things were pretty great under the last CEO, who announced a timeline of departure last May.
