Purpose Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Post COVID-19 Condition (PCC) are debilitating, chronic multi-systemic illnesses that require multidisciplinary care.
"ME/CFS and PCC have similar, profound impacts on HRQoL [health-related quality of life] that warrant access to multidisciplinary disability and social support services."
In chapter 7 of Philosophy As a Way of Life, Pierre Hadot raises some entirely on-point criticisms of Michel Foucault's interpretations of ancient philosophical schools and practices. Here's a Sadler's Lectures podcast episode examining that
This lecture discusses the 20th century philosopher and historian of ideas, Pierre Hadot, and focuses on chapter 7 of his book, Philosophy As a Way of Life.

Never have I ever thought my Ted Trainer and Deconstruction research from high school debate would be relevant in my US millennial life. What a timeline. 💃✌️💙
#DIYDay a mini one today, just clearing up some mess and putting some insulation down under the bathroom floor. Still a couple of bits to do later today... gotta figure out how to support the insulation above the void in the empty half of the chimney breast downstairs... that the builders kinda used as a rubble dump. Last thing you want is the insulation falling down into it and leaving a cold spot. The other spot is a pain because I have to try and weave it in under the pipework... there's a 200mm gap between floor and ceiling below, and the insulation 150mm... So compress, weave and leave it to expand again... it's not essential to insulate, but below this floor is the hallway and front door, which is a cold spot in the house, so if we can stop the coldness from there seeping up through the floor, it means less heat required in the room above.
Nothing I can do about insulating under the bedroom floor, without completely ripping up the rest of the floor... an expense that is not required. But I will go around the gaps a

Nothing I can do about insulating under the bedroom floor, without completely ripping up the rest of the floor... an expense that is not required. But I will go around the gaps at the end with the outside walls, and squirt some expanding foam down them, it will help seal voids where joists go into the wall and leak in cold air. Not blocking any ventilation built into the house as that's not where ventilation is supposed to be, and there are vents in the windows and the loft above.
This weekend will be the big one, new flooring going down and the walls going up. Not sure we'll complete all the walls, but the main one between ensuite and bathroom will be up, as the electrician is in on Monday for the first fix, and it's all in a 1 meter section of that wall.
I’m pretty sure the table on that page is out of date though. It says Figma doesn’t have design tokens, when it does now. And it says Penpot doesn’t have plugins yet, when it does now. Maybe one to review?
@chriswood We see you're paying attention! Indeed, we already have plugins, and very soon, Design Tokens! That video is from a few months ago, and we've released many new features since then.
On March 5, 2025, the Arab League held an extraordinary meeting in Cairo and unanimously adopted the Gaza Plan presented by Egypt. This Egyptian plan is not only an alternative to U.S.
The US administration has informed Egypt that it plans to reduce military aid to Cairo as a result of differences in their efforts to deal with the results of Israel’s genocidal bombing of the Gaza Strip, informed sources told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.
The policy change comes against the backdrop of Egypt’s disapproval of Trump’s plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza to make way for the creation of the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’, which includes building new communities for Palestinians in Egypt and Jordan.
An Egyptian diplomat in Washington told the newspaper that the exact extent of the aid cut to Egypt has not yet been determined, but it is expected to be implemented next year.
I was discussing the same thing with a friend just this morning. This isn't anything new. It's just where other administrations know the phrase soft power and were able to use it effectively, Trump is a blunt and stupid human who doesn't know anything as complex as modern diplomacy.
In that way, I unironically think that Trump may be the best thing to happen. He's taken the mask off. The world can't ignore it anymore or pretend it isn't happening so long as they still get their iphones every year. It's a kick in the pants for all of us.
📷: Syria's interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa reviews the country's constitutional declaration, which will be enforced throughout a five-year transitional period, before signing it at the presidential palace in Damascus, March 13, 2025.
Sharaa said he hoped the constitutional declaration would mark the start of "a new history for Syria, where we replace oppression with justice." as he signed the document setting out the transitional period.
The agreement between the commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazloum Abdi, and the interim president of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, was welcomed by the Kurds and their political parties, including the Kurdish National Council in Syria.

With the world changing around us, many governments and organisations are trying to reduce their dependency on tech giants. Here's an update on how one German federal state is moving 30,000 PCs to LibreOffice (and longer-term, Linux): blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware
The same German State is also installing XWiki through our partnership with @nextcloud Which means they can also use the XWiki/Collabora partnership. Open Source industrials working together is the way to go !

That's very good news! The big question will be: how will they move public administration packages towards platform agnosticism and ideally FOSS. There are some small software sheds that produce very questionable stuff (PC Wahl anyone) and who struggle even before moving to a FOSS model. Really curious and keeping fingers crossed 🤞
Wait, EuroStack? I heard that term mentioned in OpenDesk presenation at FOSDEM, but I assumed that it is more of a colloquialism. It's actual name of an actual project? Nice Time to learn about it.
Softwaremonopole sind teuer und stehen dem #Datenschutz im Weg. Deshalb setzt die Verwaltung in Schleswig-Holstein zukünftig auf #OpenSourceSoftware. Seit kurzem können wir im Gericht #LibreOffice nutzen, Ende des Jahres wird es Pflicht. Der Umstieg fiel uns leicht, da wir es auch zu Hause nutzen. Und von unseren Kolleg:innen hat auch noch keine:r gemurrt.
A Banded Skimmer (Pseudothemis jorina) spotted at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore on 24 Nov 2024. Moderately common, I usually see it continuously patrolling its territory. So getting shots of one at rest was an opportunity too good to miss.
March 13, 2017 – Donald Trump expanded the CIA’s power to allow the agency to conduct drone strikes on suspected terrorists. Under Obama, the CIA’s directive was to gather intelligence on locations of potential terrorists and then allow the military to call the drone strike.
With the new powers endowed by Trump, the CIA has expanded military abilities, further opening the door to unreviewed military action abroad.
According to figures released in December 2017 by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, drone strikes in numerous middle-eastern countries nearly doubled from 2016 to 2017.
Editor's note: The article was expanded with a statement from Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov for the Russian media.Russia is unlikely to agree to a temporary truce in Ukraine proposed by the U.S.
