"A doctor has issued a stark warning that the XEC variant of Covid-19 could bring back the dreaded masks and social distancing"
idk man maybe the thing to dread is the debilitating airborne blood plague, not the act of putting on a fucking mask. maybe this attitude is exactly why things are turbofucked right now

So my local big box store has been selling a brand of chips that I haven't seen since the 80s. They're definitely playing on people's nostalgia, and I'll be damned if it hasn't worked on me every single time.

Why you have to be like that, trying to point the finger at others? You have 3 other fingers pointing back at yourself.
Also the quoting rules vary, line & row limits, space trimming, how decimals are represented, header or no header…
There's an RFC but I expect more non-conformant files than conformant.
I'm now on so many meds with such complicated rules about when and how to take them that working out a medication schedule kind of feels like solvong the wolf, goat, cabbage problem.
I guess that's just what it's like to get old.

Today is Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
150,000+ Indigenous children suffered great harm at residential schools in Canada.
Residential schools were established with the purpose of erasing Indigenous cultures, spirituality, and languages.
Students lived in substandard conditions and endured physical, emotional, and sometimes sexual, abuse. One in twenty-five Indigenous children died while attending residential schools.

So with Cohost shutting down in about 24 hours, a note to every remaining social media site: You should totally rip off the "Following" pane.
Cohost had a view where (as alternative to the normal linear feed), it showed everyone you follow, sorted by last post, and you could click to see recent posts. A problem with social media is the more you post, the more space you take up. Cohost "Following" made everyone take up the same amount of space, while still prioritizing recency. A nice compromise

#PostOfTheWeek (season 1):
Darwin’s Natural Pet Products responded with an update on the situation:
“Darwin’s is confident our meals are safe. As we’ve also shared with our customers, we commissioned independent, third-party testing using conventional methods, which found that all lots tested negative for listeria,” said Gary Tashjian, CEO and founder of Darwin’s Natural Pet Products.
Argh! Why is @Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 not telling me that there's a new version out? I'm on 29 and it's telling me it's up to date.
Maybe it's a PHP thing because I'm still on 8.2.20, but that should be supported.

Dear CLI utility writers (*cough* nmcli *cough*) that assume a terminal width larger than 80 columns,
Could you just... NOT, please?
Use two lines per entry if you have to, pad it out, abbreviate something, I don't care. Just don't put important details after the 80th column, please! 😢
(I standardize on 80 columns because that's what old terminals used, and I'm doing more than one thing at a time, always. Thank you =)

I actually don't think the commands should care about or respect your terminal width any more than it does your terminal height. `less` and similar can provide horizontal scrolling if necessary. And, it quite annoys me when I tool builds in a pager rather than using $PAGER from my environment.
That said, for reasons completely unrelated to terminal width, line/field lengths do need to be controlled. Otherwise human eye tracking stops working well.
So it looks like I'm tied to Android for the time being (unless I want to go to iOS). Otherwise, I can't fully access my bank accounts.

Without fail, every time I boost a post about discrimination on the fedi, I end up seeing a bunch of white guys trying trying to minimize it and telling the original poster why they're wrong and/or being unreasonable.
I'm getting the impression that just maybe the people complaining about this aren't making it up or something.
Weird, right?

Friends, I have a strange ask. Search engines are useless now so I'm hoping someone will know what I'm talking about.
When I was in undergrad, we read a study about drug use in rats. The researchers found that rats can get addicted to drugs, and when you stick a rat in a cage with no community, they almost always get addicted. But when you give them a little rat society with friends and fun stuff to do, some use recreationally but almost none become dependent.
What study was this??

in reply to red_rooster :coolified: • • •@red_rooster I don’t know what you’re trying to say, maybe it’s all the Covid infections, but this doesn’t make sense. You’re still getting infected even though you’re vaccinated, the mask would prevent that.
And if you’re willing to catch Covid you’re willing to spread Covid. You know Covid maims and kills. If you’re willing to maim and kill people in your community (or anywhere) how do you not feel #SHAME? I would be embarrassed to type these things and put them out on the Internet for all to see.
red_rooster :coolified:
in reply to Maggie Maybe • • •My strategy is get vaccinated every year in order not to spread #Covid. In that event I was probably infected no one will wears a mask and were I spread it it is also not possible.
But in Germany the vaccination commission #Stiko recommends only above 60 what makes it really difficult to find a doctor that gives you a shot.
I suffered so many health problems during lock-down because a lack of sports and social interaction so that I don't want to have this again.
Eniko Fox
in reply to red_rooster :coolified: • • •@red_rooster @maggiejk the current vaccines don't reliably prevent infection, and have basically no effect on infection rates after about 4 months. this means you can get covid. it also means you can spread covid
if your aim is to not spread covid then vaccination is not an effective strategy to accomplish that

Hey another time traveller! This time from 2020.
You'll be pleased to learn that after 4 years of mutation, what people in your time quaintly called "COVID-19" now comes in forms that are much more infectious, but much less lethal. Most people who get the 'rona report a bad 'flu, and some people get it without even noticing!
Honesty, it really is safe to go outside now.
