Private Healthcare Providers are simply #Leeches and #Unethical ones at that.That is not to say that the health workers they employ share the same social guilt. I’d wager most workers do in fact care for patients unlike their #Grifting corporate employers and the #Usurious #Insurance companies.
Making a #Living from providing healthcare services is socially responsible.
Making a #Profit from healthcare is #Inhuman.

Reacting to the news that the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed the confirmation of Todd Blanche as Attorney General, Will Ragland wrote:
"Police unions are still supporting a guy (Todd Blanche who was) working overtime to cut checks for cop beaters and whose Department of Justice just unilaterally terminated a Collective Bargaining Agreement for 30,000 federal corrections officers."

I may lose a lot of followers by hash-tagging #fuckcarney, but so be it. To those followers I do lose, I bid you farewell and good health.
This is not the “unified” #Canada I wasted my #Federal #NDP vote for. Anyone supporting “the great” #markcarney and his #cultlike, loyal #turncoat, #unethical, #partisan, #climatedestruction #liberals, who judge people like me for openly criticizing their great #authoritarian leader, can kiss my leftist ass and future votes goodbye for generations to come.
I’m no longer interested in #Carney’s #liberal #nationalinterestprojects. Mark Carney’s “globalist banker over politician” mentality is not at all compatible with my national interest, that is a fact.
Mark Carney continues to ignore my “leftwing domestic terrorist” interests while quietly sending #Canadian delegations to #AmericanFacist conventions and still claiming a pursuit of “national unity”.
The truth is Carney’s #nationalinterest claims are no more real than fascist Trump claiming he’s polling “better than ever” in an entire nation actively fighting against him and his corporate/facist ambitions.
Carney has used a #ShockDoctrine, #floodthezone agenda based on #Trump and #PierrePoilievre blinded Canadians, to achieve his and #DanielleSmith’s own selfish #rightwing, #corporate, #capitalist goals.
We’ve all been played, yet the most #patriotic #elbowsup Canadians have yet to even see it.

Microsoft has de-authenticated/de-activated 8.1 where product key is wiped from their online records. Can't re-authenticate/activate, says: "Windows can't activate. Try again later." for a week now.
Greed at new 21st century levels is a joke. These ass-hats are buying everything up so you have no choice, meaning no more capitalism. We've been saying this was late stage capitalism. It is official, now is the actual end of capitalism turned communist by trillionaires.

I know #AI is all over the place, and I know that for #developers and especially #indie developers these tools can seem helpful. I know many use them but minimize the use cases, or say they couldn't have produced something without AI help.
However I cannot in good faith fund, promote, recommend or support any project that knowingly uses #unethical tools in it's production. You all know the ethical case against AI, I don't need to reiterate it.
I love a lot of you, but this is my red line.

Wow! This is nuts. So, LLMs that are destroying our planet as we know it, are for 'entertainment' purposes only.
Articles like this expose Si Valley's savage disregard for the user. And of course, codebro users who love their illusion of 10x productivity with LLMs couldn't give two shits about ethics or the planet and god forbid the poor.
Programming needs to be bombed back into the stone age ?

You may have seen the story this week about an "AI" (LLM) bot that opened a pull request against the Python #matplotlib library. When the request was closed, the story was that the #bot posted aggressive condemnations of the maintainer(s) in the thread, particularly Scott Shambaugh, and then posted an article to a blog attacking him.
There's a lot of speculation about how much of that action was driven algorithmically vs manually instructed by the bot operator.
Anyway, so far so interesting. Lots of online media coverage of it, because it was novel.
But then, Ars Technica published an article about it. And Shambaugh read it, and posted that the second half of the article contained alleged quotes from him that he never said. The article appears to have been "AI"-generated, without any acknowledgement of that fact, which is not good for Ars' credibility.
Worse, Ars then quickly pulled the #article - silently. No mention of it left, no #apology to Shambaugh, no note to the readers of what they'd done.
That is absolutely #unethical in #journalism. It is unforgivable.
Ars was once a technical site with additional coverage of science and other geek-adjacent topics. Then it went commercial, was bought by a huge publishing conglomerate, and became a lot less technical.
But this is a slide too far. Unless they fix this, quick, I won't renew my subscription.

#WillLewis’ tenure has been rocky from the start, marked by layoffs & a failed reorganization plan that led to the departure of former top #editor #SallyBuzbee.
His initial choice to take over for Buzbee, Robert Winnett, withdrew from the job after #ethical questions were raised about both he & Lewis’ actions while working in England. They include paying for info that produced major stories, actions that would be considered #unethical in US #journalism.

@JuxGD those are some good questions re: #Monero.
1. Obviously #XMR doesn't fluctuate extremely hard (it does have some peaks, but for the most part, it's pretty stable)
2. #Monero is in fact less harmful than all the other #Shitcoins by virtue of being anti-ASIC and running best on consumer devices.
3. All #capitalism is #unethical, but Monero being the closest to #DigitalCash makes it better than any #Shitcoin and allows #Sexworkers and others #discriminated and #debanked to recieve money.

I've been only able to read this IT note today due to band with constraints. It read like a Stephen King short. Horrific!
IMHO, In my humble opinion, the company involved used tactics that I can describe as blatantly criminal.
I have some stories and I may talk about one in another post, using similar of obfuscation techniques
You would be wise to read this story at least twice.
Read between the lines.
Observe that the company was selling open source services yet used criminal tactics to keep people locked in

Nothing to see here, just another underhanded #Conservative #powergrab obtained through secretive consolidation of right wing parties.
These #corrupt #cons seek to further divide and polarize all of #Canada through their “unite to collectively hate” campaign, while the center and left rip up agreements and quarrel amongst themselves like stranded toddlers fighting for a Conch shell.
Honestly, this power steal feels like something taken right out of a #Russian playbook.
These #unethical #Conservatives realized they could only obtain power by taking out competing parties and stealing their votes.
#Disgraceful and #undemocratic. If this is considered acceptable behaviour, Canadian #democracy is broken and we’re all downright fucked.

Here we go... There's always a dark side when there's money involved... And when loans come due!
Dangers and Opportunities as #China’s #Loans to #Africa Come Due
Timothy Ditter | Monday, March 18, 2024
"Many African economies are facing a period of serious #economic distress with a very different character from the debt crisis of the 1980s and 1990s. This time, the People’s Republic of China (#PRC) is a major player, and a dramatic decline in PRC lending has compounded economic shocks in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—just as the continent tries to recover from the pandemic. From 2001 to 2022, PRC financial institutions provided more than $170 billion in credit, loans, and grants to #AfricanNations, primarily to fund infrastructure projects tied to the PRC’s Belt and Road Initiative. But new PRC loans to African governments plummeted from $28.4 billion in 2016 to less than $2 billion in 2020 and have continued to decline.
"African governments are awakening to the fact that opaque PRC lending practices and problematic #LoanTerms have rendered already fragile economies at an increased risk of default. However, this moment of peril also provides an opportunity for African economies to build resilience by diversifying their economic partnerships and seeking out lenders with better terms and different motivations.
"I and other CNA analysts from our China Studies and Strategy and Policy Analysis programs have just completed a series of studies on trends in the involvement of the PRC across major sectors in Africa in the context of global shocks. These include the military, mining, infrastructure, and financial sectors. We recently released the report PRC Lending in Africa: Impacts in a Time of Global Shocks. This component of the series focuses on PRC lending to nine African countries. In some cases, PRC loans helped African nations build or upgrade much-needed infrastructure. However, we also found a wide range of PRC lending practices that have contributed to the financial distress and increased the risk of default for African countries ravaged by the global shocks of the last few years. These practices include high interest rates, unfavorable terms, and uncompetitive contracting, most of which is hidden from the public in opaque contracts.
"And when African countries struggle to repay those loans, PRC lenders have taken inflexible positions that have delayed and hardened terms in renegotiations.
"China’s Unforgiving Lenders
"Today’s debt troubles have some of their roots in the loan agreements signed when the PRC was eager to plow its excess savings into foreign loans. Often these agreements made the loans due in just 10 years, compared to up to 35 years for loans from the World Bank. Interest rates are often higher, too. For example, the Export–Import Bank of China charged Djibouti a fully commercial rate for the loan to build the Ethiopia-Djibouti railway, higher than multinational lenders like the World Bank charge for loans. The PRC is #Djibouti’s largest creditor, holding approximately $1.4 billion in debt, equal to about 45 percent of the country’s GDP. In January 2023, Djibouti suspended debt payments to the PRC, making it the second African nation—after #Zambia—to do so.
"Often these agreements require loan recipients to give business to PRC contractors—without competitive bidding. The Export–Import Bank of China contract with #Kenya to finance the Standard Gauge Railway connecting the port city of Mombasa to the Great Rift Valley stipulated that most construction materials would be purchased from the PRC. The project ended up much more costly than anticipated, increasing from 220 billion to 327 billion Kenyan shillings over a period of three years. The Kenya Court of Appeal found that 'the project’s design was manipulated to inflate costs while construction and supervision charges were also overpriced.' Such agreements have helped make China’s construction firms dominant on the continent. A University of London study found that of the 32 major international contractor companies working major construction projects in Ethiopia in 2017, 80 percent were PRC contractors.
"Because PRC loan agreements tend to be opaque, the public is usually not even aware of these loan terms. In the case of the Standard Gauge Railway, the loan with the Export–Import Bank of China was signed in 2014, but details about the terms only became publicly known in 2022, preventing oversight from Kenyan politicians or the public. In some cases, those opaque agreements and #unethical business practices may contribute to corruption. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China funded a dam project in Angola while ignoring various potential red flags, including the involvement of the daughter of Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos. Isabel dos Santos was awarded the $4.5 billion contract to construct the dam by her father’s government in 2015. As of 2023, Angola holds more PRC debt than any other country in Africa. And the #WorldBank listed Angola as one of seven African countries that it considered to be at high risk of debt distress in 2020.
"Our research found that when struggling African nations need to renegotiate their loans, PRC lenders have resisted standard #LoanForgiveness practices and have slowed debt negotiations. The PRC does not follow typical debt negotiation protocols used by multilateral institutions such as the World Bank. Instead, the PRC prefers bilateral negotiations, often behind closed doors, and strongly resists cutting the total principal owed on loans. Rather, PRC lenders favor extending repayment periods or holding infrastructure as collateral on loans. This has an impact on negotiations with other creditors as well, since lenders want concessions to be shared fairly. Recent negotiations to restructure #Chad’s debt with a committee of five bilateral creditors took nearly two years. World Bank and IMF officials claimed that lenders from China unnecessarily delayed the debt deal, an accusation that has come up in debt negotiations with other African countries.
"In the long run, however, this difficult period could have an upside for African nations. The reduction in PRC loans provides an opportunity for African countries to diversify, considering new economic partnerships on more favorable terms, with greater transparency and good governance. African nations can use multilateral negotiations to seek out lenders operating with different motivations, lenders that can help them build domestic economic strength and resilience for the future."
