“If you catch COVID-19 or another infection and work may be the cause, you can make a workers compensation claim without your manager's agreement. Your employer’s insurer decides whether to accept the claim.” #ASMOF

This is probably going to sound wild to Americans but ‘global warming is real’ is very much not something that needs to be mentioned every time we talk about the weather in HK because for all its faults, HKSARG actually acknowledges climate change is real

In case it’s hard to tell what I’m actually saying here: Slowing down vulnerability disclosure is to cybersecurity as drinking sea water is to dehydration. Might feel better if you’re desperate but it will greatly accelerate your doom. This isn’t a fix for vuln process saturation

I think it’s the conjunction of 1) being safe enough that you don’t have very many real threats and 2) perceiving threats out of proportion to their actual severity… Leading to a desire to have someone in your corner watching out for you and yours, for both benefit and safety.

This is a tactic used and abused by a right-wing that relies heavily on the far-right in order to form governments: intimidate voters to vote for your coalition and then, despite your breaking the rules, you report the other side did it. Like it is with Trump, every accusation is a confession.

The book’s key concept, “The Carceral Surround," builds on Fred Turner’s work on the early years of cyberculture. 20th-century “democracy” was built on carceral power, and the post-war history of computation is intrinsically linked to the work of generating racialized populations as targets.

At the health care centre today, someone was coughing so hard that their doctor went to pick up a pulse oximeter to measure their SpO2. In pure Swedish health care fashion, neither patient nor doctor wore masks. As my partner says, this will result in a health care worker sick for 1-2 weeks.

In Sweden, almost nothing happens via physical mail anymore, with some exceptions. So, without a digital presence (email, digital mailbox - see Kivra, and Internet connection, bank ID), chronically ill & disable people would be completely isolated from important services and support.

When I hear ableist tropes about chronically ill & disabled people such as "if you can use an email/social media you should be able to work" I wonder if the people issuing such nonsense ever worked in their life or have an idea that writing an email now and again if far from working ability.

Chronically ill and/or disabled people still need to have/use email/s and it is not a sign of ability/health when someone with chronic illness and/or disability makes sure to maintain their email address. Plenty of communication and notifications happen via email and they don't need more isolation.

AI summary on Google search is almost ubiquitous and if you play a bit with your questions in a Google search, it is easy to see that it is also presenting authoritatively information that is not supported by the sources it is claiming to use.
