  • Apparently then it is bad for formatting and reading apps for the visual impaired can not pick up sections when they have been pre assigned (but I didn’t test just saw a real, need confirmation)

  • Even in countries were it is legal and has some kind of regulation, it still has exploitative character. Not for all but for many. And I think forced labor, of different degrees, is more common then you think.

    Even when regulated and legal, we need to think about the careers after sex work. Can those people freely transfer into a new position without discrimination?

    And since there is discrimination, worker rights, and often women and gay rights, are neglected.

    To establish a safe working space for sex workers it is not enough to regulate and make it legal. You need to actively support each group individually and make it clear, that as for every other form of employment you have rights and someone else is actively fighting for it. It is not enough to tell people they have rights and they have to fight all by themselves. Especially when we have established that human trafficking, exploitation, femizide, and so much more are common.

    So I think the answer should not be: just make it legal and write regulation. It should be: what actually is a safe working space for all, no matter if selfemployed or working in a brothel.

    How AI is transforming research: More papers, less quality, and a strained review system

  • Also not being able to properly manage your communication and research.

  • YSK that the UK Biobank is the largest long-term health study in the world. Over 500,000 people agreed to share their genome, blood samples, x-rays, and medical files in open source.

    Jump

  • I am aware of this, but with little information it is possible to identify people. It was more about the: oh we share only half with our parents. Who can figure it out?

    There is a good reason to keep this data access restricted. With little sensitive data, you are an open book.

  • Well, for a geneticists it is „easy“. In this paper which is a little older they just look at the Y-Chromosome and the last name, something men share with their fathers, and public accessible data (at the time). The pedigree is resolvable. Link

    Therefore it is important, that this data is access restricted. For this we have EGA

    So using for profit services like MyHeritage is risky and stored on servers you might not want your data on.

  • What video essay did you watch recently that left an impression on you?

    Jump

  • I can’t say recently, or maybe I can’t think of one. But if I look back two come mind:

    BobbyBroccoli and his assay on Jan Hendrik Schön were several hours of: wtf?! Watch it on Nebula if you can.

    Several talks from David Kriesel at the CCC. I loved them all but the Xerox talk really surprised me.

  • Was 18 and still in school. 1 1/2 more years until I was finished and initially I planed to go to university to study. Still thinking I stay in the city I grew up in.

    I earned money by tutoring students in math. I wanted to be good in school but still liked the boys. So after school, I learned, I worked and dated guys. I wrote with people online and met strangers. I am still surprised nothing ever happened to me. Never getting catfished.

    My mom was unemployed and it sucked. It annoyed me that she was around. Everyday after school we would meet at my granny’s and great granny’s place. Great gran, gran, mom and me.

    There was a big goth scene in my city and the disco‘s (I will never not say disco) l frequented had always the same people there. You could go without making arrangements, you‘ll always meet someone you know. Once a month we met in town before going partying. 30 to maybe 100 people just chilling. Some teens really thought they are the toughest, most badass people.

  • How is the re-read going? Will you do anything different? Like completing a chapter or going back and forward?

  • I just finished:

    Starship Troopers I still think it is satire. I don’t want to believe that there are people who actually believe that the described system is a good one. It is more military fantasy than sci fi. I was entertained but prefer the movie for once.

    The Stepford wives is a very quick read and I was well entertained. From a contemporary point the position of the main character still feels very Hausfrau, even so she doesn’t feel this way. I would have loved to get a little more depth for the reason and how the Hausfrau thing works but maybe it is better to be a mystery.

    Currently reading:

    House of leaves. Damn I needed a break from this book. It is very tough to read but a cool concept. I think I might have to appreciate it from afar.

    Jurassic Park never in my life did I read a book which is so close to my profession and I know it is bending the reality and science a bit, but damn do I feel good seeing a Fasta file actually printed on paper. Name dropping everywhere. Even in the introduction it already starts where you have to check when does reality end and fantasy starts (wanted to take a pen and add Franklin to the list). But I should not have googled the author.

  • Do you use a dishwasher or wash dishes by hand?

    Jump

  • By hand but only because I took the kitchen of the previous tenants and it had none and there is no space to easily install one. If I ever buy a new kitchen I would by one.

  • Just started House of Leaves

    Jump

  • I am currently reading it. Also public transport reader. Do you use those bookmarks to read one story at a time? Truants story is do weird? Why is he telling us his story? No spoiler just a small rant. But still why?

  • What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?

    Jump

  • Procreate. I have payed for it once and it gives me to this day free updates. I had still so much fun drawing.

  • But why

  • Disclaimer: I enjoyed the Tower books and many of his other books.

    Often his man characters are reparative, always writers. I had many hits with him but also misses. Like maybe because I was too young and have no children of my own I found Pet sematary not very good. But what he does he gets me into a flow of reading. He makes it easy for me to enjoy the book no matter how thin the plot is.

    But there a couple of plot points I admit I find now weird and not well played out. Like in The Stand why is everybody understanding English? There is no real communication barrier apart from not being able to talk at all. So I miss language barriers. So his books have a place in my heart but I also grew up with Goosebumps so it was a natural progression to King.

  • But why

  • This scene haunts me to this day. The barrens is for me the most unholy place in fictional existence. Shouldn’t have read it as a teenager. Nobody stopped me cause “look she is reading such a huge book.” …

  • It is so annoying that it just translates everything. I hate auto translate. I hate that the video names and descriptions are affected too.

  • How do people in cities have fun without spending money at every turn?

    Jump

  • I am also extremely annoyed that there are many amenities which coast money (like no public bathrooms and water fountains, maybe you can guess the country already).

    On the other hand you can look for free stuff to do in your city. Things we have here:

    Some museums are free

    Botanical gardens

    Outdoor movies in the summer

    City festivals with live music

    Public readings

    How to get free things or access to low cost things:

    Join a cheap club. Sport, boardgame, etc They normally also have the gear for beginners / newcomer’s. Volunteer. This gives you access to people and gear (time in exchange for feeling good, maybe do what you like and make an impact).

    Maybe not everything you like you can find easily. I guess you have to dig to find a free rave if that’s what you are interested in. Back in the day I would have suggested looking for Facebook communities in your city.

    Jump

  • I nearly exclusively read in public transport. Recently I don’t commute as much and read less. I love to read in a bus, tram, train etc. I sit down get my book and read and don’t care much for the people around me.
