Politicians Who Voted to Ban TikTok May Own as Much as $126 Million in Tech Stocks
Disclosures suggest Congress holds millions worth of stock in Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Snap, companies that could benefit from a TikTok ban.Thomas Germain (Gizmodo)
Activitypub or Atproto ... one item that both Mastodon have in common with Bluesky is amount of "spam" links and accounts boosting those "spammy" accounts
Several "award winning art / photo" profiles I saw had 5 or more links including their pinned post
Win goes to Bluesky since they seem to have better control of that ... for now

@Gargron @maikel @GPJohnston I didn't want to single out the person but will send the link to you via DM
I understand some want to sell their work but how many links do they need? Each post need more links 😂
Unrelated ... how many ad popups or ads shown on one page is enough? 😂 😜

"Anthony (Tony) Epstein, co-discoverer of the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), was the founding father of research into the part that viruses play in the development of human cancers. Today, seven types of viral infection — more than one of which can be prevented by vaccination — are known to cause specific cancers in people. Collectively, virus-associated tumours account for up to 15% of cancer cases globally each year. Yet, when Epstein began his research in the early 1960s, the concept of a link between viruses and human cancer was deeply unfashionable. Epstein’s discovery has had an enormous influence on the direction of cancer research, from underlying mechanisms to new prospects for prevention."

Just FYI, with Threads becoming part of the Fediverse, both this account and the one on Threads (threads.net/@gaming0nlinux) will stick.
I think giving people the option to directly follow on either platform is the best bet. Options are nice right?

Hm I dont know. In the long run a third path might be to have an own fedi instance running on the gaming on linux infra and push to threads and the fedi.
Like @news@gamingonlinux.com that serves both with just the same account and at best the comments of the social media posting are shared with the comments on the GoL site.
I mean thats what the fediverse is all about - not to copy things all over the place, but post them once and find+react to them everywhere. 
For example we have wordpress for now that just can act as fediverse instance and do essentially this and I imagine the services that provide this functionality to grow, once threads and tumblr are able to receive content from the fediverse.
What I say is that "in future" (that is not right now for obvios reasons) there might be an opportunity to have an option to push to a lot more services via just one fediverse account.
This is not possible right now. Threads is currently only read-only from this side and tumblr not even integrated at all.

EU’s use of Microsoft 365 found to breach data protection rules
An investigation into the European Union’s use of Microsoft 365 has found the Commission breached the bloc’s data protection rules through its use of the cloud-based productivity software.
The Commission. (27 commissioners.) Not the entirety of the Union.
Kinda might want to clarify that.

I just finished a piggy bank for my almost-two-year-old. It's made of solid oak, and opens with the correct 3 digit code. I designed the locking pins such that the code can easily be changed.
I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!
Did you know that #Germans have a LOT of #superstitions about #bread?
In the olden days, when bread was baked at home, bad luck would seep into the bread when one cursed while baking.
And if the loaf would be placed over the table's edge, sickness would soon enter the house.
A loaf placed upside down would sway, because the poor souls would try to turn it, & if the head of the house cut the bread crookedly, then he had just lied...
#mythology #tradition #Germany
haha yeah that's the catch 😀
But no, you can make a soda bread (a traditional unyeasted bread) or offer the bread that failed to rise, but who knows what they'll think of that?
Putting all of my federated Threads accounts into a Mastodon list. And just like that, one of the benefits of Threads supporting the Fediverse is happening in real-time.
I now can view them all in one Mastodon list view TODAY, or add them to multiple lists TODAY, even while lists are a feature not yet here on Threads.
Fediverse Threads support for the win.

Several of us overly online biologists spent years quietly doing an experiment on Twitter, trying to find out if tweeting about new studies from a set of mid-range journals caused an increase in later citations, compared to set of untweeted control articles.
Turns out we had no noticeable effect; the tweeted papers were cited at the same rate as the control set.
Our paper, headed by Trevor Branch, was published today in PLOS One:
journals.plos.org/plosone/arti…
Controlled experiment finds no detectable citation bump from Twitter promotion
Multiple studies across a variety of scientific disciplines have shown that the number of times that a paper is shared on Twitter (now called X) is correlated with the number of citations that paper receives.journals.plos.org

the fact that on modern Linux still every executable runs with all the permissions of the user is kinda baffling.
The permission system is developed for multi-user systems where users don't trust each other but trust the software. On modern PCs, we have mostly only one user, but a bunch of random executables that we shouldn't have to trust with our whole drives.
Time for the year of the BSD desktop, anyone? 😁
