revolutions are born in monents like these

Holy shit can this whole thing be any more corny? Is this done by teenagers? Don’t get me wrong fuck Musk/reddit/etc. but what is even the outrage about this time?

Gotcha. Yeah that’s a different game.

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve been enjoying my Withings watches for fitness tracking and everyday wear as well. They look like a decent, non-smart watch. Battery lasts about a month or so.

This invention surfaces every five years or so. Obviously never goes anywhere. I bet the creators are well aware of this and they just want to bait a dumb enough VC to exit with a load of cash.

Not the person you asked, but also a nextdns user: I have a light (in terms of blocking) profile on my router (set up via a DoH address, but DoT and traditional DNS are also possible). Then I have a much more strict profile I use just for my phone and laptop with more serious blocking, including porn filters (recovering addict). I set these up per-device, but later I learned I can do it in Tailscale (which I did).

Maybe you want to, or even have to talk to people who don’t use fedi apps.

I’ve been working remotely long before the pandemic and I will continue to do so - I’m far from being alone in that. Also, we are still in the “covid-era”, we just collectively decided to pretend we aren’t.

Because they don’t have all the things they claim to claim to have, or it’s with significant caveats. These things are publicised to fuel the hype which attracts investor money. Pretty much the only way they can generate money, since running the business is unsustainable and the next gen hardware did not magically solve this problem.

There have been a couple hundred zoonotic cases of bird flu in humans, luckily not human-to-human transmissible, yet (as far as we know).

[–] mint_tamas@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I also suspect that the bird flu (H5N1) is not (as of yet, at the time this post was written...) likely to mutate to spread in a human-to-human context.

If you are infected with multiple flu strains at the same time, the viruses can recombine and yield a new strain. That is substantially more chance to get a human-to-human transmissible H5N1 than just by mutation alone (which is still something that should not be underestimated - flu mutates like crazy). There is a reason why virologists warn about H5N1 as the likely candidate for the next pandemic.

The plugin was an open source, but commercial product. It was forked and its store page was taken over by wordpress.org which unilaterally controls this store. Plugin updates were redirected to the fork, so essentially all users (bar the ones on wp engine, ironically) were stolen. Also, many sites were broken overnight by this move.

It’s a jarring situation, and frankly, I think it goes beyond the CEO being an asshat (he surely is). But I think this whole story shows signs of a mental illness.

Yet, wordpress relies on a defacto central store for plugins, where properties (along with the userbases) of private companies can be taken over by Matt Mullenweg.

 

My joke of a country did not order any from the updated vaccines for COVID-19, but still insists on keeping the state monopoly on it. We have private institutions where we can get pretty much any vaccine, but not COVID vaccines.

Is there any country where I could travel and get vaccinated as a tourist? Private service or otherwise.

 

Hi,

I tried enabling 2FA on my (first) account, but despite the UI saying it will display the code below, it didn't. I turned it off and saved the changes, but I guess that didn't work because now it won't let me in. I tried password reset and it does send me an email, but it won't let me in still without 2FA. Is there any way for me to get back my first account or is it lost forever?
