Auckland surgeons must now consider ethnicity in prioritising patients for operations

On One News this evening they were very clear that other factors (such as how long they've been waiting, how sick the person is) are still more important than the patient's ethnicity.

The key thing is that clinical priority absolutely predominates the score anyone gets.

None of this was mentioned in the NZ Herald piece. Barry Soper, the author, is a political hack who should not be trusted. He gives journalism a bad name and discredits the publication he writes for. I absolutely can't stand the guy and am disappointed in anyone who uncritically promotes his work.

Will it ever be possible for kbin to federate with PeerTube?

I expect it will be - it seems to almost work already. For example, take this peertube channel - https://tube.arthack.nz/c/intertwingled/videos?s=1.

I tried a few different things in the kbin search and @[email protected] got a result that I could subscribe to. If that channel posts another video, it might show up in kbin. Will it be a microblog? A thread? A magazine? Who knows! kbin seems very confused about all of this.
