"Why are people in #Albany ... so sick when its most powerful institution is a #hospital?
It didn’t surprise me to learn that ... some blamed #Phoebe for mishandling their loved ones’ cases...
What I didn’t expect was how fearful people were to criticize Phoebe on the record and how powerless they were to hold the hospital to account. The same was true of many of the current and former employees of the hospital."

"The #UnitedStates is blessed with one of the most scientifically and technologically advanced #health care systems in the world...
But for all the money flowing in and out, #Americans have more chronic illnesses and shorter lifespans than people in other wealthy nations. When it comes to health outcomes among those countries, the United States ranks last."

Linux Kernel: Rust Support Officially Approved
Rust is becoming equal to assembler and C in programming the Linux kernel – at least officially, as there is still a lot of work to be done in practice.

Trump Tariffs Are A Disaster!
The Trump regime issued an executive order to temporarily exempt more than 100 food items, including citrus, beef and coffee, from tariffs it had previously defended as central to U.S. economic policy.
The order came after building consumer unrest on paying $billions in Trump tariff costs.

Speaking of the #RaspberryPi CM5, there's a new carrier board coming out - an open-hardware design which adapts it into a mini-ITX form factor complete with x16 (mechanical, it's still one-lane) PCI Express slot.

Sanctuary Systems' Sentinel Core Turns a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Into a "Better Computer"
Open-hardware carrier converts the computer-on-module in to a mini-ITX board, complete with full-size PCI Express slot.Gareth Halfacree (Hackster.io)
When the #RaspberryPi Compute Module 5 came out, you couldn't use the IO Case's bundled fan and heatsink at the same time - which was spun as letting people try out passive and active cooling separately.
Well, that definitely-not-a-design-flaw-honest has been fixed: the latest IO Case shifts the fan to allow clearance underneath for the heatsink.

There's still one in the queue (and one embargoed until tomorrow,) but here's my latest for #Hackster - starting with one from last week I hadn't mentioned yet: a project to generate sound which can be picked up by smartphone microphones to help locate people (or, I guess, their phones) buried under rubble after a disaster.

Explain it to me like I’m a 5 year old or a MAGA supporter.
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth say America was acting in self-defence by destroying boats allegedly carrying drugs to the US.
Eighty non-military people have died in the Caribbean as a direct result of Trump’s orders to attack civilian boats.
So why is the U.S military being used to attack non-military, civilian targets in addition to being ordered to kill any survivors?
