This paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-025-01290-1 is interesting. They tested Vitamin B3 in a pill that is
designed to release nicotinamide [a form of Vitamin B3] in the lower small intestine and colon
And found:
Acute COVID-19 might be safely and easily reduced in severity and duration
In general, no improvement in Long COVID rates (here termed Post-COVID syndrome, PCS)
BUT, for people with recovery-like trajectories, they found superior outcomes. This takes a few quotes:
The subgroup was
participants at risk who had shown improvement in the primary endpoint or one of the three key secondary endpoints in the acute phase of the disease
In [this] subgroup, a significant benefit of nicotinamide was also observed in participants with PCS (nicotinamide: n = 48, PCS score 8.33 ± 0.84; placebo: n = 57, PCS score 11.82 ± 1.03; absolute difference: −3.49; 95% confidence interval, −6.1 to −0.86; P = 0.010
Now we all know how Long COVID isn't one single disease. Let's assume for a second that other results that suggest at least one subset has a microbiome component are correct.
As they say "life finds a way" so it would make sense that remnant gut populations could rebound over time and that this subset of LC sufferers might be more likely to have recovery trajectories. (This while we have no treatments for any subset.)
This obviously won't stop the pandemic nor its consequences, but still, here's hoping that there's no patent encumbrance on coating B3 for lower-gut delivery.
Of course here in BC we'll get access the same time we get access to Metformin.

Not excactly a good thing that I slipped on my way out of the bath tub yesterday night, but with that as the scenario:
1. We own crutches ourselves.
2. I did not hit my head, the #pcs (Post Concussion Syndrome) makes me ridicilously afraid of head setbacks.
3. I have the very best husband, who spoils me with bedside coffee.
And even 4.!
It is the left foot that hurts, so I will be back in the car in a few days. No clutch in our "new" car.
"New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow returns to the world of Red Team Blues to bring us the origin story of Martin Hench and the most powerful new tool for crime ever invented: the personal computer.
The year is 1986. The city is San Francisco. Here, Martin Hench will invent the forensic accountant — what a bounty hunter is to people, he is to money — but for now he’s an MIT dropout odd-jobbing his way around a city still reeling from the invention of a revolutionary new technology that will change everything about crime forever, one we now take completely for granted.
'Picks And Shovels' is a high-tech crime thriller about the “weird era of PCs” in the early 1980s, when Reaganomics, the tech industry, multilevel marketing, and the AIDS crisis all converged in San Francisco. "—Jacobin

Hinzu kommt das Tragen von #FFP2 Masken. Es sollte selbstverständlich sein, ist aber durch Desinformation und Framing 'verpöhnt', wenn man das so diplomatisch betiteln möchte.
Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr meine Petition #HygieneNeuDenken chng.it/fFZ4YcTDxW unterschreibt und natürlich teilt
Die Intention ist und bleibt weiterhin, Menschen vor gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen und dauerhaften Behinderungen zu bewahren.
"Post Covid Syndrome and Cognitive Dysfunction – Aetiology and Possible Treatment" - I think figure 1, the arrows going towards "cognitive dysfunction" should be bidirectional - but otherwise, yet another lay of the land paper implicitly but strongly suggesting that there is a pressing need for research focus on LC and ME/CFS treatments: https://cdn.fortunejournals.com/articles/post-covid-syndrome-and-cognitive-dysfunction-ndash-aetiology.pdf
The Guardian and BBC are both leading on this story this morning.
Once again we have a broad brush statement from politicians that civil service performance needs improving without any real evidence.
Performance related pay seems to be on the cards again, my experience of it was not good. Hours spent collecting and documenting personal evidence as well as reviewing staff's evidence. Then an annual series of comparison meetings to decide where people fitted on the arbitrary bell shaped curve that determined who got what. The individual bonuses involved were not much, IIRC the year I got a top award the amount was around £400.
I really hope this doesn't return as it was a waste of time, a divisive exercise for no real gain for anyone.
To improve performance they need to:
Drop competency based criteria and bring back minimal qualifications for new starters.
Improve pay conditions.
ING tegen beroofde klant: fuck you
Uit https://security.nl/posting/875970/ING-klant+krijgt+50_000+euro+schade+door+gestolen+telefoon+niet+vergoed:
❝
ING-klant krijgt 50.000 euro schade door gestolen telefoon niet vergoed
[...]
Verzwaarde motiveringsplicht
Volgens het Kifid is het aan de bank om te stellen of de klant grof nalatig heeft gehandeld, maar rust er op de klant een 'verzwaarde motiveringsplicht'. "Dat betekent dat de consument tenminste enig inzicht dient te geven in de wijze waarop een onbevoegde derde de mogelijkheid heeft gehad om toegang te krijgen tot 1) zijn mobiele telefoon en 2) zijn Mobiel Bankieren App. De enkele stelling van de consument dat hij dit niet kan verklaren, is hiervoor onvoldoende. Een andere regel zou de bank voor onaanvaardbare risico’s van misbruik plaatsen", aldus het klachteninstituut.
❞
Dat noem ik het OMKEREN van de bewijslast, en onmogelijk te doen voor het slachtoffer (die is geen expert). Kifid is een slager die diens eigen vlees keurt, een ordinaire maffiabende.
Waarom dat óók hufterig kapitalistische zakkenvullerij is, beschreef ik in https://security.nl/posting/876012.
Een stukje daaruit, *MET* argumenten (die nooit met goede onderbouwing weerlegd worden):
❝
Er is een (helaas door de vergrijzing groeiende) grote groep -van miljoenen mensen- die, vooral online, eenvoudig slachtoffer worden van oplichting. Het is niet eerlijk en dus onrechtvaardig om hen voor de problemen van een falend systeem te laten opdraaien.

Trump tariffs would increase laptop prices by $350+, other electronics by as much as 40%
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/trump-tariffs-increase-laptop-electronics-prices
@xeniac I know that this is the case, but it's not a technical unavoidance despite the #RaspberryPi being a non-#UEFI - #arm device.
The solution in that regard would be to boot into a #live / #setup mode like with #RaspberryPiOS for #i586-based #PCs and extend it to a setup that allows creating a new custom image with #LUKS - #FDE enabled and properly encrypted.
I'm not even demanding much, just a simple #TUI / #CLI setup like @ubuntu / #UbuntuServer has with basic customizations.
