I’m happy to hear this but honestly I’m confused as to how flipboard is supposed to work with federated media. I thought it was basically an RSS aggregator? Could someone explain

does this include the MSG channel?
does quad9 block ads as well? I thought it was only trackers
any advice on using searx? I try to find a usable instance on searx.space but it’s always a struggle for me
You could check out NTS Radio - so many shows from a very wide variety of genres, and they have an archive of every episode

Yeah I’ve used it for years and it’s incredibly useful! I use the citation tool on it a lot and then I bought papership on my iPad to read the articles away from my computer
If it’s all articles and documents I’d suggest zotero
I’ve been considering switching to a Synology NAS - how do you feel the security holds up for that?
Runs on Microsoft cloud…. Sounds like it’ll be super versatile
Thanks! I’ve been looking for this as well
Interesting article, I really liked it! I appreciated the link you made to keeping junk food in the house to encourage people to delete those apps off the phone. I wonder if the junkie statements at the beginning might be a turnoff to readers who might be on the fence (if that’s an audience you’re trying to appeal to)

I’ve worked in genetics settings, and am considering a career in it – which is partially why I wouldn’t want to send my DNA in. I don’t really see a point in it because you said, its mostly statistical analysis and, buy and large, isn’t very specific.
For lack of better term this privatized genetic screening phenomenon feels like pop science on crack. Spit in a tube, have the cool science company analyze it - find out cool stuff. But when I’m asked about it, I always warn people of the same thing. This is still a relatively new field. Legislation protecting people on the privacy of their genetic code is shaky at best, and the information you get isn’t going to be all that useful.
My parents both come from different ethic minority populations so they wanted to learn more about their roots.
taking these tests for medical reasons, or for adopted people
which in response to that - I’d say that that another case could be for people that do have a curiosity of where they came from given other unique familial backgrounds - which is why I mentioned my family. But I agree it’s hard to draw the line on cost/benefits for each person and where it’s merely novelty versus having legitimate benefit.
for getting a better medical understanding - I really think that it would be better to see a genetic counselor or clinical geneticist. It’s still a growing field in medicine so there aren’t that many - and they typically work in prenatal and pediatric settings. But it’s my hope that as the profession grows, this information will be liaised more by medical professionals - both to guide people in understanding the results of genetic screens and also so that this information is protected under patient privacy laws.
apologies if this was a little scattered. I’m kinda a nerd for genetics and have a lot of thoughts about it - and this was mostly me thinking as I was writing
Homeland, right? I read it too - it was pretty good but that was so many years ago. Only until recently did I realize that he’s a commentator on internet privacy.
I am out to my family but I noticed that the nest display at my parents home would suggest LGBTQ+ related searches when I would talk to them. That would have terrified me when I was in the closet. I could only imagine what it’s like in a household that isn’t accepting
Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother - it was actually a summer reading book in high school. Later, I read Snowden‘s memoir when it came out.
Edit - timing of reading the memoir
Could you… by chance- pick yourself up by then?
that was harrowing. it really makes me reconsider the trust I have in apple - beyond the frustration I have with their walled garden ecosystem
Nah it’s not just a state. A lot of Ob/Gyn physicians no longer feel comfortable practicing in states with extremely prohibitive abortion laws because it genuinely limits what kind of healthcare they can practice. This limits access to care, which can result in poor outcomes.
