Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.
Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.
Capitalism kills.

People != Things. (he/him/they) Ankh-morpork diplomatic passport.
And since mastodon.social is the flagship instance, which sets the moral example - and the workaday template - for most instances in the Fediverse, this catastrophically bad clause is likely to proliferate far and wide throughout the Fediverse, rendering most of this new, better internet unfit for use.
Please, @Gargron, reconsider this. It is a very bad look - and worse still, it's a very, very bad example.
High intensity squirrel 🏳️⚧️Web devs if me blocking ads/tracking cookies/other privacy-invasive nonsense results in me not being able to log in to my account on your site, the response I get back on the "failed" login page should not be:
"An error has occurred. Please try again!"
For that matter stop giving generic errors anyway and tell me what error has occurred oh and also STOP PREVENTING LOGINS IF TRACKING IS BLOCKED
@nyanbinary Remember that 192.168.001.010 is very different from 192.168.1.10
Wow. Lenacapavir, a twice-yearly shot that prevents HIV spread was just approved by the FDA.
The problem? Due to government cuts to Medicaid, PEPFAR, and Global Fund, it's unlikely this game-changing drug will reach the many people who need it most in the US and globally.
mhoyeI've been sitting on this for a while, and it's not much, but in light of Wellnhofer's contribution I'd like to propose:
"Maintenance Terms", as distinct from licensing terms:

Access to code is no promise of access to people.
