Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is highly effective.
The vaccine protects against the high-risk HPV types 16 and 18, which cause most cervical cancers and have been shown to be safe and effective in preventing HPV infection and #CervicalCancer

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system. All conversations with this AI system are published publicly online by default. Do not share information you would prefer to keep private.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Like many services, as Signal grows, it becomes a more appealing place for scammers to try and cause harm.

We've put together tips to help you protect yourself from phishing, scams, & impersonation attempts. Plus info about how Signal support communicates.

Somebody please create a social networking service where people can’t see who follows them, not even how many. Same for likes.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Title: Why do you want the book to be banned? A cartoon with ten panels showing people answering: 1. I read the book and hated it. 2. I didn't read the book, but I still hate it. 3. I hate books! 4. I love banning things! 5. I could not relate to the characters. 6. I'm not sure, but better safe than sorry? 7. My copy arrived damaged. 8. It could fall into the hands of a child. 9. It could fall on to the head of a child. 10. I didn't understand the ending.

We talk a lot about our huge dependence on American clouds, but what exactly are we talking about? And is Europe equally dependent on all types of cloud? This article is aimed at policy makers, but it may also provide some clarity about the landscape to actual cloud users:

Look I am still in favour of the Zuck/Elon cage match occurring and Zuck kicking Elon's spine entirely out of his back, but I do also want to make it clear that I then want Zuck to trip over on his way out of the cage and end up in a unrecoverable coma

Title: Still haven't made a new year's resolution? Let us help you generate one! Image: a diagram which asks you to input “The year of your birth added to the number of pets in your home”, “The number of days in the current month plus your shoe size” and “The sum of the first three digits in your telephone number” which will seemingly make a random resolution but actually always* makes “support your local bookshop”. *Unless you have size 68 shoes or a negative number of pets or some other nonsense in which case you will get the silly outcome you deserve.

My new year’s resolution generator for @theguardian.com. Let me know what you get!

What I actually want is a site where I can buy any music or movie or tv show I want, but there’s zero fulfillment mechanism. Just send the money to the artists and I’ll go pirate it myself but now it’s legal because I paid for it. Eliminate the middle man stupid streaming services.

Protecting you if things go wrong.

The new Product Liability Directive enters into force.

From today, as a 🇪🇺 consumer, you have more rights if something goes seriously wrong because of a product you bought.

A win-win for European consumers and for business ↓
