Tim Berners-Lee (@timbl) explains why he gave away the #WWW for free.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/28/why-i-gave-the-world-wide-web-away-for-free"For the web to have everything on it, everyone had to be able to use it, and want to do so. This was already asking a lot. I couldn’t also ask that they pay for each search or upload they made. In order to succeed, therefore, it would have to be free. That’s why, in 1993, I convinced my #CERN managers to donate the intellectual property of the world wide web, putting it into the public domain. We gave the web away to everyone."
But he adds:
"Today, I look at my invention and I am forced to ask: is the web still free today? No, not all of it. We see a handful of large platforms harvesting users’ private data to share with commercial brokers or even repressive governments…Trading personal data for use certainly does not fit with my vision for a free web."

I wonder what the USA's win/loss ratio is since the cold war, because I'm under the impression it's not great. Or at least, I just figure if we actually won any wars in the last few decades surely I would have heard about it. I say this without any sarcasm though: 24 hour burger king deployment thing does make me feel irrationally proud of my country.

When should children have their #measles #vaccines?
From January 2026, the UK will offer the second dose of measles vaccine at the age of 18 months instead of at the age of three or four. The first dose will continue to be given at 12 months.
The move is inspired by research showing better vaccine uptake when the second dose of measles vaccine is offered earlier. France takes a similar approach, but there are a variety of schedules across Europe.
