Both female and male patients had a lower patient mortality when treated by female physicians; however, the benefit of receiving care from female physicians was larger for female patients than for male patients.

Of note, the study was conducted on 800k senior citizens.

The findings may not be generalizable to younger populations.

“I don’t think it’s nice to federate with a company that has been cited in multiple independent reports of massacres/genocides,”

And I don't think it's nice to take the choice away from users. I can block threads all on my own -- I don't need a nanny who doesn't even cite their sources.

I'm more concerned that the company decided it was OK to meld the "From:" line of her email (asking for support) into her profile. If they think that's an appropriate way to handle PII, I don't trust them.

Dude also used a LLM to generate descriptions for the packages he's serving from his package manager. And of course, it got them wrong, creating a headache for the actual package maintainers

To make matters worse, they keep reusing the same names for things. I honestly don't know if I use Google Pay or Google Wallet? I just push the credit card icon on my phone.

While we resourced mozilla.social heavily to pursue this ambitious idea,

How many people do you need to administer a Mastodon instance? I'm pretty sure infosec.exchange is like one dude.

I doubt most people know that country TLDs are different from vanity TLDs. I know when I look up domains, they're usually all smooshed together and then the terms are in a giant block of ToS.

Yeah it's a scam. They'll claim they lost all the money that went into making the movie because no one would buy it for the price they wanted. If they'd sold it for the highest offer, they'd have lost less.

How is that any different than burning down my own building and claiming it as a loss in my taxes?

Spent an hour last night moving to 2FAS. Authy doesn't make it easy -- unlike their competitors, they don't offer an export feature.

it means you can’t block ads without violating the DMCA. Browsers can have adblocker extensions, apps cannot (unless you hack them.)

I imagine this is just going to lead to more people using DNS ad blockers. My phone literally can't access your ad server, sorry.

Yeah, it's just like when Prince changed his name. The media will just keep going "X, formerly known as Twitter" forever.
