Easter maybe over but we are still being fed crap, palm oil is still in most of our chocolate and much of all foods. Stop feeding us crap to line company pockets.

Great write-up with beautiful photos on why building communities around opensource software is the better long-term path, anchored around the #Komoot debacle.
Don't flock to closed solutions and eco-systems. Don't ignore, that your data and contributions further enrich some very few and how this is against your own interest. And obviously this issue is not limited to the bike community. Take action now!

🙄 Dear Retirement Home Staff:
Standing around a resident who is on the floor right after a bad fall debating if the home is responsible for injuries is a REALLY BAD LOOK!

#Algorithmocracy / Kenya court green-lights $2.4bn lawsuit: Meta's algorithms linked to Ethiopian violence
Kenya court allows $2.4bn lawsuit against #Meta to proceed. Ethiopian plaintiffs claim #Facebook promoted hate speech leading to violence, including murder of professor after his address was posted on platform. Lawsuit demands algorithm changes, more African content moderators, victim restitution fund, and formal apology. Meta argued Kenya lacks jurisdiction but was overruled.

Of course! The business strategy of #china has always been to build cheap tech using their labor.
#bigtech used to be about quality and innovation. But now their focus is on #ProfitOverPeople, #enhittification, cutting costs by replacing people with #ai and controlling the government.
No surprises if China takes over.

Another data breach notice. It seems like I get these notices every few weeks.
I think it’s cheaper for these companies to send out the letters and pay for credit monitoring than to service the data in the first place.

Devastating Community Health Study on #Drax #WoodPellet Plant
Written by Naya Black, August 7th, 2024
"#GlosterMississippi is a small, rural, mostly Black community in Amite County, Mississippi. It spans 1.8 square miles with around 900 residents. Residents are facing the harsh reality of a median income below $15,000 in 2021.
Introduction of the #AmiteBioEnergy Pellet Plant"In 2015, Amite BioEnergy, a part of the UK’s #DraxGroup, started making #WoodPellets pellets in Gloster. Industry markets wood pellets as #ecofriendly . They get big subsidies from the #EU to supposedly fight climate change. Drax has a permit to emit up to 25 tons of harmful #AirPollutants and 249 tons of volatile organic compounds (#VOCs) per year. But since 2016, Drax has consistently gone over these limits. Drax even paid a $2.5 million fine for it.
What Types of Pollutants Do Wood Pellet Plants Produce?
"#WoodPelletPlants emit many #AirPollutants , including:
nitrogen oxides (#NOx)
#GreenhouseGas like carbon dioxide, methane, and sulfur dioxide
volatile organic compounds (#VOCs)
particulate matter (#PM) 2.5"Sleep is critical to health, so 24/7 #NoisePollution is also a concern.
What Are the Short-term Effects of This Air Pollution?"These air pollutants are harmful to residents breathing them in. They can cause:
coughing

severe allergic reactionsWhat Are the Long-term Effects of This Air Pollution?
"The long-term effects of air pollution are #chronic. They’re also much worse than the short-term effects. Some are even life-threatening. Added to the short-term effects, the long-term effects can be:

Aug 12thDespite raid on #CimateCamp, #activists link up with #Mississippi fence-line community
"Climate campaigners this weekend Saturday (August 10) held an online conversation with community activists in #GlosterMississippi, who shared their experiences of resisting a polluting #WoodPellet factory owned by UK multinational Drax. The UK climate camp, planned to take place last weekend near Drax power station, was cancelled after a pre-emptive raid by police.
"The 22 arrestees have since been released, but the police impounded essential infrastructure, effectively shtting down the event. Nevertheless, the event went ahead after moving indoors.
"Gloster is a low-income, mostly Black community in Amite County, #Mississippi. In 2015, #AmiteBioEnergy, a part of the #DraxGroup, started making wood pellets in Gloster. #Biomass wood pellets are compressed dried wood chips and sawdust, compressed into pellets at high pressure. The Drax factory received a permit to emit up to 25 tons of harmful #AirPollutants and 249 tons of volatile organic compounds (#VOCs) per year.
"But since 2016, Drax has consistently gone over these limits, in one instance being fined $2.5 million. This was the largest in a much longer series of fines for environmental violations by various companies operating wood pellet factories in the US.
"In the online event, the campaigners from Mississippi discussed the physical and mental health effects of persistent #AirPollution, including the highest rate of mortaility from heart disease in the state of Mississippi. The community has no local medical doctors, and residents have to spend hours commuting to access medical.
"According to local resident Jimmy Brown, 'our legislators aren’t doing us any justice because they didn’t inform any citizens about what going on, so that’s up to us'.
"Activists on both sides of the Atlantic vowed to hold Drax accountable. 'We cannot let them continue to put profit over the planet and over our people', said Gloster organiser Krystal Nicole Martin, 'they need to leave tour community'.

#AI is everywhere, from customer service to filmmaking. Chatbots like #ChatGPT rely on massive energy consumption and exploit human labor for data annotation, leading to biased or incorrect results.
Major corporations prioritize #ProfitOverPeople, so labor unions unsurprisingly push for control over AI's development and use.
Although governments are starting to regulate AI, we need broader public awareness and action to ensure it serves common interests.

FFING evil as shit company (look up their promotion of artificial baby food over breastfeeding) proves once again that they are evil as shit.
I'm sure it's been good for the shareholders, so who cares about the people... -
#Lead in #Drinking #Water #Pipes... It's 2023 and we are just now getting around to removing it?! 😨
Effort until now is a major #PublicHealth & #Political #Failure!
One might speculate that a certain political party (the #GOP) WANTS municipal (aka "public") water systems to degrade and fail... just like they clearly want #PublicEducation to degrade and fail!
One might also speculate that certain #Corporations (those that bottle water and those that make the #Plastic bottles that water comes in) also want municipal water supplies to be at least perceived as "tainted" if not hazardous outright!

Thanks to Kaiser SoCal, the earliest I can get an appointment for the updated COVID vaccine near me is December 7th, as you cannot use Kaiser insurance at other pharmacies.
I brought up the CDC bridge program today, as well as Medi-Cal, at my local pharmacy and they still said it would be $185. This is unacceptable.

I find it so strange that a country built on
#ProfitOverPeople and #Capitalism
can't do simple maths.It's clear to me that suburbs will go bankrupt.
1st of all you comply everyone to live in a stand-alone house; they have to be connected by roads, sewer, electricity, water and internet. You'll need longer amenities like that and you'll have to maintain them.
2nd No one wants to pay taxes, least of all Americans.
So who is gonna pay for the amenities? Every 30 or 40 years those need to be maintained.
Most suburbs in the US are about 45 years old. There's a #BigBill coming !Two video's:

I find it so strange that a country built on
#ProfitOverPeople and #Capitalism
can't do simple maths.It's clear to me that suburbs will go bankrupt.
1st of all you comply everyone to live in a stand-alone house; they have to be connected by roads, sewer, electricity, water and internet. You'll need longer amenities like that and you'll have to maintain them.
2nd No one wants to pay taxes, least of all Americans.

8 dump trucks sat idling on North Road all day yesterday, burning oil en masse while destructively digging a dirty oil pipeline through a previously protected area.
The #bcndp & #TMX are actively committed to #profitoverpeople as they openly pollute our neighbourhoods, threaten to arrest us with permanent legal signage & regularly disrupt local traffic.
#Canada is a dirty oil country. Humanity deserves all the havoc #climatechange will reek on us.
