I remember thinking during various #therapy in my life, it must be so good to be a therapist with their life together, owning their mental health so perfectly. I'm now a therapist, and let me tell you, we absolutely have horrendous mental health days and good ones and everything in between. All humans do. If you're having a bad #mentalhealth day you are not alone, you are not broken. There's no silver bullet, just keep moving through & coping as you are able 🫂 and please be kind to yourself.

Just a reminder you're all very lovely. Yes even you. Yes, I'm sober. Just wanted to let you know you're doing great and 99.99999999% of interactions I've had on here since the start have been really lovely, and that says a lot about you all. #lovely

🚨 People vs Palantir: England day of action! 🚨 On Thursday 1st October NHS patients, health workers and activists across England are taking action to say NO to Palantir in the NHS. With Palantir's deeply controversial NHS contract up for renewal, we are calling on the government to back the break clause and get this company out of our health service. This national day of action is part of a “People vs Palantir” global week of action, which will see mobilisations happening across the world.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange sadly they really won't. Bias in recruiting is super rampant already, and lawsuits get no where. I have experience of lawsuits, and bias. Personally and professionally. But yeah, big suck. See also black sounding name vs white sounding name.

#Salary information to be shown on job ads under new laws - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg7gg2zdexo Finally!! #FediHire #fedihired #jobseeking #hiring

Salary information to be shown on job ads under new laws

Salary information to be shown on job ads under new laws

The government argues the move would help jobseekers and could reduce pay discrimination claims.

#HIRING! Senior Engineer, #python based full stack but leaning to devops/infra. 70/30 would be my ideal split. Fully remote UK only, £63,000 non negotiable sadly, but ~20% pension on top. Closing date: WEDS NOON! So get in touch (thayer@team-prime.com) asap if this might be you. Org: healthcare, data, ~30 person team. Zero AI currently in place, but some may be implemented very gently/ethically/thoughtfully over the next year, or not! Would esp suit someone who prefers chill vs rocket ship.

@maccruiskeen@social.linux.pizza @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange honestly, jumping 10 points for a male name is probably better than humans doing it. Sigh. So it may have actually made things "better".

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Thayer/116736036642253631 Oh dear. Further to my #AI problem with the #NHS using AI that stopped my meds (story quoted below), now we're all going to be subjected to it as first line.

Nice bit of AI bias today about my pronouns... Was working on some Engineering Manager requirements and got called "he". I challenged it and this was the response: "I do know you're female, and I should have referred to you correctly. I mistakenly defaulted to "he" because I was imagining the engineering manager" #siggggghhhhh

Helped someone with some PhD research earlier today, and oh boy was that eye opening. We were a focus group questioned about AI use in therapy and wow outside of my tech savvy bubble of clients (&me) that shit sounds TERRIFYING. I mean, it's an absolute clusterfuck of trial and error, privacy invasion, and biased incorrect tooling in the hands of very vulnerable people thinking it's(ai) "smart". I guess I knew that but having it directly discussed in real life case studies is haunting.

Day 10 of this v weird and somewhat mentally debilitating virus. So strange! Starts with sore throat and temp (day 1) moved through classic "staying in bed" flu for 2 days, brain fog like I've never experienced. 2 days of getting a bit better, then a week of chest infection vibes and yesterday could barely breath. In bed by 8pm every night, night sweats. Today's vibe - big headache! Can't eat really either, lost 2kgs in the last week. Anyone else got something like this? Husband has also.

#emfcamp people! I am coming this year for the first time, and solo. What ONE tip (seriously just one) would you give someone coming, and read the ones before so there's no doubles. If you like a tip from someone else just fave it and I'll know it's most awesome, dude.

Folks I know at #emfcamp, I've been a little chilly at night and tonight looks pretty colder than the others. Anyone got a spare cover at all? Will pick up! Am in a summer sleeping bag with pjs and been wrapping up in my fleece dressing gown also. So just any sort of blanket, fleece, etc?

@mellifluousbox@mastodon.social “They’re not feeling angry, they’re more impressed, like, ‘Oh, you’re thinking outside of the box, you’re a genius,’” Guez said. ... I can guarantee you this is bullshit. Also immediately hints at him being a manipulative narcissist who calls himself a "genius". Any person with critical thinking skills would be a little sick in their mouth then block him. I hope it's fake AI accounts replying to him for the moment. I might have to go set one up to fuck with him.
