At the time it was built, it was the heaviest self-propelled ship of any kind. With a laden draft of 24.6 m (81 ft) and a length of 458.45 m (1,504.1 ft), the ship was incapable of navigating the English Channel,[6] the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal. It is generally considered the largest self-propelled ship ever built.[7][8]

Lake Nasser (Arabic: بحيرة ناصر Boħeiret Nāṣer, Egyptian Arabic: [boˈħeiɾet ˈnɑːseɾ]) is a large reservoir in southern Egypt and northern Sudan. It was created by the construction of the Aswan High Dam and is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world.[1] Before its creation, the project faced opposition from Sudan as it would encroach on land in the northern part of the country, where many Nubian people lived who would have to be resettled.[2][3] In the end Sudan's land near the area of Lake Nasser was mostly flooded by the lake.[4] The lake has become an important economic resource in Egypt, improving agriculture and touting robust fishing and tourism industries.

A recent survey among Quebec healthcare workers demonstrated that the cumulative risk of developing long COVID from an acute infection is 17% and increases with each infection. The estimated prevalence of long COVID in this population was 5.6%. Other research places the global risk as high as 40% among healthcare workers who have contracted an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. …

Nevertheless, many healthcare workers still don’t believe that long COVID is real, despite dramatically disabling symptoms in people with no preexisting risk factors. “The me before and the me now are such opposites,” said Pinard. “I would swim three mornings a week before going to the office. I was running 40 km. I was traveling every second week. Now I leave my house only every 2-3 months….I was where I was supposed to be [with COVID vaccination]. I was in good health. I wasn’t depressed; I wasn’t anxious.” …

Hulme and other interested parties have tried to help build the infrastructure needed to provide care for patients with long COVID, but they have faced many barriers. Although the condition shares many features with fibromyalgia, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, guidelines for those conditions could not mention long COVID by provincial government decree. “There are many, many political reasons as to why [long COVID] should not become a big deal,” said Hulme. “There are still little pockets of money for research, but they are very small.”

They removed a post I made about the threadiverse. No mod reason. Ghosted me.

On a recent thread I mentioned this. (On topic). It was immediately removed by the mods again. No removal reason. Just silently censored.

Ie. This video doesn’t load for me.

I tried waiting a day. Still doesn’t load. Tried from a different instance. Tried turning my VPN off.

Wondering if I’m missing something obvious. Or I should stop expecting youtube style uptime and not stress too much ahha 😅.

Piefed currently has anonymous — or more accurately, pseudonymous, voting.

which in my opinion is a great thing. I really think this feature is important.

However, while it works great to hide votes from casual users, the current system is trivially easy to correlate accounts to their voting profiles. Unless they adopt specific behaviours with large friction (ie. not voting on any post or comment you reply to, not voting on any community you participate in). And even then, timestamps of activity and general activity level will probably still be enough.

My question basically is, is there a plan to mitigate this? Possibly through optional features like voting profiles being ephemeral (like you get reassigned a new one every X weeks or posts).

Btw really appreciate you, piefed devs.
