“*This* is a problem we can solve with policy! We can mandate that platforms support interoperability, so that when you leave a legacy platform like Twitter or Facebook for a modern platform like Mastodon or Bluesky, the messages addressed to you on the legacy platform are forwarded” @pluralistic

Viva Vocal Ensemble (led by @caseymoir ) will perform at Fylkingen as a part of Svensk Musikvår this saturday (21st).

They will perform 3 pieces, all by Casey. One of the pieces was commisoned to the "designing voices" festival last september and very well received!

Voluntary entrance for people that feel like they are running a bit low on cash!

The Visible Voice

Fem röster möts i ljud, gest och rumslighet, och skapar multisensoriska upplevelser där röst, öra, öga och kropp blir ett. Viva Vocal Ensemble tar publiken med på en resa genom experimentell musik och oväntade klanger. Konserten äger rum på Fylkingen, scenen där konstnärer och publik mötts i över 90 år av lek, utforskande och nya uttryck.

Reading https://thatshubham.com/blog/news-audit ( HT @pluralistic ) and I'm astounded.
I had heard of web ad auctions.
I had heard of edge computing.
I did not realize they were pushing their ad auction calculations onto your device!
Knowing this, I think ad blockers are too polite a response. Are there any browser plugins that send them something like a decompression bomb? Or maybe that interferes in the ranking so the cheapest bid is returned as the winner? My device is the one deciding, after all!

Thousands of people disabled by long COVID seek answers

Six years after the COVID-19 pandemic began, doctors are still treating long COVID patients with complex symptoms and unknown futures.

Los Angeles Times

Millions of people around the world are living with the lasting impacts of Long COVID — a growing public health crisis that continues long after the initial infection.

Long COVID can affect the brain, heart, lungs, immune system, and more, making it harder for people to work, study, care for families, and participate fully in daily life.

This Long COVID Awareness Month, we must bring visibility to the millions of people affected and accelerate research, prevention, and support.
