~30% of covid cases are asymptomatic so even if everyone who felt sick cancelled (this would also include many people with colds), it wouldn’t make “closed metal box with inadequate air filtration with unmasked strangers for hours” a good idea
not according to the World Health Organization. or most epidemiologists. you are spreading dangerous misinformation
I would go with “propagandized”, lots of insane people still make the great public-interest decision to wear a mask
any Firefox fork, while we wait for Servo to be ready
I think you might be 180° missing the point of the meme
switching to a browser engine developed by a literal advertising company seems like a weird protest against advertising
servo is the only one I know of
if you’re in one of the areas it covers, Offi is pretty solid Offi https://f-droid.org/packages/de.schildbach.oeffi/
Citymapper is also not bad but the coverage is v limited and it’s not open source
afaiu pairdrop and snapdrop only work if both devices are on the same local network, filepizza works over the internet
so someone born in 1997 has a different source of nostalgia to someone born in 1996, but the same as someone born in 1998?
your life will improve if you stop sorting yourself and everyone else into arbitrary groups of named generations, that have more difference within them than between them…
absolutely brilliant bot misfire 😂
o jeez how could i have forgotten to mention the apex/nadir of this tragic farce, the .io extension? It belongs to the Chagos Islands, the residents of which the British government forced to leave in the 1970s so that the land could be given to the USA for a military base. The UN voted to ask the International Court of Justice to rule on whether the British government should give the islands back to the people who were removed, the ICJ said yes, the government of the failed state that is the UK (presumably under orders from their inverted colonial masters, the government of the failed state that is the USA) continues to tell everyone to fuck off.
Meanwhile, guess who manages the .io TLD, and collects the profits from .io domain registrations? The UK government! 🎉☠
@JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world if you’re going to campaign on “respect for internet architecture” with TLDs, maybe start with the 9,999 techbros directly funding land theft through their mostly-very-shitty .io domain names, and leave the folks making Marxist-Leninist jokes (or phishing the US military lol) to enjoy .ml.
counterargument: TLDs have been a corporate-minded, US-centric joke since they were invented, the joke got even worse when ICANN wouldn’t hand over authority to the UN, worse still with the naked cash grab / branding exercise that was gTLDS (remember the shakedown that was .xxx and .sucks?) and now that .amazon belongs to a creepy oligarch’s predatory monopoly instead of the countries containing the ancient giant life-giving rainforest of the same name they may as well just change all TLDs to .clown and let DNS die in peace
Hey what’s a good response to “can’t we just ‘silence’ threads.net instead”?
this is an amazing study in how to go carefully, point-by-point, through something, and refute none of it.
