Technology@lemmy.world•Woman Calls Out Doctor Wearing Smart Glasses During Consultation Where She Had To Take Off Her Clothes: 'They Need To Be Banned'English
135·2 days agoWithout evidence, the idea that there’s a hidden camera in the exam room is just paranoid speculation. By contrast, this was an actual visible camera in the exam room, and a camera that was obviously the doctor’s own personal device. It makes sense to worry more about the camera you know is real.

Do you mean after February 2025?

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK jewellery sold as sterling silver on amazon has been found to be made from cadmium, a carcinogenEnglish
37·7 days agoJayne Bond, a consultant in the jewellery industry, ordered a £2.99 ring on Amazon marked “925 silver”, sold by a brand called The Construction People. Independent testing of the ring showed that it was made up of approximately 92.3 per cent cadmium.
Bond claimed Amazon was notified of this on May 12 but the item remained on sale. Bond re-purchased the item weeks later on July 1 with similar results in its cadmium content. One reviewer on the site said the ring gave them a “severe allergic reaction” that needed medical treatment. The ring has now been removed from Amazon’s UK site.
An online customer review for a ring, stating it was falsely advertised as sterling silver and caused an allergic reaction. “If people are reporting the problems, why are [Amazon] not looking at their own reviews that these things are damaging people? It’s neglect,” Bond said.
Don’t buy things from Amazon. They’d rather kill their customers than miss a dollar.

Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify Execs Bet People Will Pay for AI-Generated MusicEnglish
14·7 days agoI have been enjoying Qobuz, since quitting Spotify a couple of years ago. Everything’s better quality, they have proper credits and PDF CD booklets, the classical music metadata is much better, it encourages you to listen more deliberately to music you choose, and I don’t feel dirty for funding scumbags.

18·7 days agoDr. Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent more than 100 times last week, as Republicans accused him of funding research in China that started the coronavirus pandemic, and lying about it to Congress — accusations he vigorously denies.
Thursday’s vote addressed a different question: Did Dr. Fauci fail to comply with a congressional subpoena, a federal misdemeanor that carries a prison sentence up to 12 months? The panel adopted a resolution concluding that he did.
Fauci is a good man who has acted responsibly throughout this craziness, but fascists are not interested in truth, reason or justice, only hatred and vengeance.

121·9 days agoCarney was voted in because otherwise we would have got Pierre Poilievre, the Nazi-courting, MAGA-wannabe dweeb. It was strategic voting, not enthusiasm for Carney or the Liberals. If we weren’t stuck with first-past-the-post elections we wouldn’t be stuck with a choice between Neoliberal bankers and maple MAGA.

171·9 days agoIt’s a self-fulfilling prophecy: if all the corporate leaders believe it will change everything and, in a fit of FOMO, force it into every corner of our lives, then everything will be changed. But not so much because of what AI can do, as because of a mass delusion among the LinkedIn types.
I was with you until you referenced Sabine Hossenfelder. She is no longer any kind of trustworthy source.

11·9 days agoThe Liberal Party is liberal in the traditional sense:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism
But the Conservative Party probably also qualifies as liberal in this sense.
Some people, particularly many Americans, use the term “liberal” to mean left-wing or progressive. The Liberal Party of Canada is not really liberal in that sense, though they make smallish gestures towards social progressivism when it doesn’t impact capital.

I think it’s a fascist eugenics program. They think they are the strong ones and everyone else is weak, and the weak should die off so people like Elon Musk can repopulate the country with their superior genes.
