@froge @aral A surgeon had been called out of surgery because some United Healthcare jackass "needed to know" if the cancer patient she was operating on needed to stay overnight.
Info he could have gotten from another UH department instead of putting the patient at risk (being sedated for longer than necessary).
Awful, awful people in a horrible system.

@aral I'm kinda impressed with the angle there: bluesky, funded by millions in VC cash and with a dedicated pr staff has after three years reached the same numbers as the fedi, funded by the mental health of enthusiasts, and that's a fantastic success?

Maybe it could be interesting to report on that bsky's cost per user this far is way above one dollar, fedi's is a fraction of that.

@thelinuxEXP @aral It's so very telling that when the left gains traction it's "threatening the stability of the institutions", but when actual fascists are on the rise, the left has got to "try to reach an agreement" (or whatever Macron said).
"'Let's agree to meet in the middle,' said the dishonest man and took a step back into the shadows."

@Loukas what the heck's going on with that graph? The area of 172 is like half of 152?

@Loukas fckn Mercator strikes again 🤬

@arstechnica Cowards. Gowron is not pleased.

@Gargron Nice that the Publish button is full width, although as I started this reply I noticed the Reply button is not which is a strange UX. Also, good call to have the textarea follow the theme (it'll be annoying for a while cause it's "different", but I know it's better).
Just wanted to ask about the reasoning behind moving and labeling the privacy and language post settings?
(in the Publish UI there's space to have the language and privacy settings as icons in between the emoji and counter)
