World News@lemmy.ml•Bahrain king orders more citizenship revocations over ‘support’ for Iran attacks
11·3 hours agoI don’t think amnesty.org’s stance on this matter would have changed in the past few years. They have been consistent in their messaging for a while now.
Interestingly, this page on criticisms highlights how they don’t shy away from calling out abuses regardless of which “side” the offending party is on

Dullsters@dullsters.net•My nose is bleeding, but not from the nostril. I'm in the bathroom. I have a physics lab in 11 minutes.
7·5 hours agobut not from the nostril
Is the injury on the outside part of the nose, and is the lab in person? Sometimes school/university labs will have first aid kits
There is something to see, we just won’t have a treatment as fast as we would if this was in human trials.
With all the controversies around Alzheimer’s research, if this study is reproducible, it could kick start treatment in a productive direction. I’m looking at this bit in particular
Researchers noted that most existing therapies target beta-amyloid plaques, while their study focuses on astrocytes, offering a complementary strategy that could improve treatment outcomes.
As for why this is significant

As a Canadian, this does absolutely nothing.
You can do every single thing the americans are asking for, and the deals will STILL be thrown out the next day.

- publicizing news about the consequences of war, no matter the scale, incentivizes those involved to push for an end to conflict. Investors don’t like it when companies have to spend money to rebuild things

News headlines are usually worded in a way that’s accessible to most people, and then the article can go into detail about the topic. The other commenter said nothing about how products should or shouldn’t be named. By “the wrong thing”, they likely meant “things that the average person can recognize, but is not the best way to introduce the topic”.
People who haven’t heard of Forgejo will scroll past a headline that says “The German government has started a Forgejo instance”, even if they were interested in the topic. They could have also said “code repository”, but it’s not as eye catching as “GitHub”, a name and logo that a lot of people have seen before.
Also GitHub is the incumbent that is being replaced, and is relevant to the discussion

4·3 days agoNo problem :)
Checking all of the links was the hard part, since after a while it gets harder to spot when something is wrong. I’m planning to push all of the links to musicbrainz afterwards so that it saves someone else some time.

8·4 days agoThank you for catching that, I added 2 missing songs and changed the Anne Murray entry to the correct track. Only 1 person had submitted so far, and they selected 1 song only (unrelated to these), so edited the survey instead of making a new one.
I’m also going to tag everyone that nominated a song, both as a thank you and so that people can check if everything was included correctly: @datavoid@sh.itjust.works, @Nils@lemmy.ca, @Grimpen@lemmy.ca, @Binzy_Boi@piefed.ca, @WUPHF@lemmy.ca, @GrizzlyBur@lemmy.ca, @Bonsoir@lemmy.ca, @EatYourOrach@lemmy.ca, @reef@lemmy.ca
