Why you read the article

It is common for people to simply read the headline and draw a conclusion this is not a good idea in many cases as the headline may not give a true representation of the story.

Lets take this as an example

The full article is here

So the text that goes with the link suggests solid tumours, but the headline suggests just tumours, reading the article AND asking questions to the poster on Fedi, indeed confirms this medication targets all solid tumours, I also asked if there are different types and yes there are solid and non solid (not sure what that term is) tumours.

Zoom can be used to train AI

Looks like the new Zoom terms and conditions now allow training AI on user content with no opt out. 🤣 See section 10.2

I am not too sure what data is shared, or how it is used, but big tech is clearly incapable of playing fairly, we have companies using all uploaded data to train AI, for example photos, text, code anything and usually the consent is given via terms and conditions so end users are so tied in to closed systems, the users auto consent weather they like it or not.

The fact that zoom is used by organisation such as child protection agencies also for me RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS.

Please consider using an alternative that actually protects and respects privacy such as Big Blue Button

Fossil Fuel Giants Are Using British Influencers to go Viral

Big oil and corporations can't be trusted. It is clear they will do anything to keep hold of their stranglehold on fossil fuels and avoid moving over to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way of working. Meanwhile the world carries on getting warmer, with consequences both known and unknown.
