If your anarchy or socialism does not include #PandemicMitigations, then you aren't actually fighting for a better world. This is a hard truth to swallow, I know, but all Leftists MUST face this truth.
And then do better. Why?
Because failure to do pandemic mitigations is acceptance and promotion of eugenics; it is accepting the state's position that certain demographics deserve death and should be written off as waste.
Stop blindly believing the state's gaslighting of the pandemic. Believe us #disabled folks and the scientists doing the studies, who have proven again and again how dangerous this virus has become, especially long-term effects.
Masks work. Decades of studies prove this, and shrills funded by the state who try to claim otherwise? Stop blindly believing them. Masks when properly fitted work, and work best when we all wear them together.
The virus isn't going to disappear just because the US President said the pandemic is "over." The virus will continue to mutate into worse variants, will continue to spread, will continue to cause long-lasting damage to our bodies, will continue to kill and disable.
We could STOP THAT if we all worked together and make sure we Leave No One Behind.
We can't build a better world without normalizing pandemic mitigations in all of our work and organizing. A better world should NEVER adopt the eugenic strategies of the state, and that's what the failure to do pandemic mitigations does - it adopts the state's horror.
So stop doing that! We have the studies and science that prove the virus is still mutating, still causing tremendous harm to our bodies, and still killing thousands in the USA every week. Those people deserved life, and we could have saved them if we all collectively worked together to do pandemic mitigations:
1.Check wastewater data to see if Covid particles are on the rise to help assess risk. Demand data for Covid Transmission rates everywhere.
#MaskUp at all your events at all times. Demand all healthcare facilities and workers mask at all times.
Do #Testing for Covid before and after (PCR tests currently the best for new variants).
Buy or make Air Filtration units and install them in all rooms. @cleanairkits has some good options and instructions on how to do CR boxes. Make extras to share with others so they too can have clean air.
If possible, hold the event outside to allow people to spread out better.
Make the event accessible. Have streaming options, and other accessibility tools.
@PeoplesCDC has an amazing toolkit called "See You Safer" that documents various ways we can safely organize, meet up, and fight against the rising tide of fascist eugenics.
So if you want to live out your truth, to truly build that better world that Leaves No One Behind, then get your asses in gear and DO PANDEMIC MITIGATIONS.
Please stop falling for the state's gaslighting eugenics.
This week we're testing a new tool called the Mastodon Scheduler to automate our posts. It's self-hosted, doesn't expose itself to the internet, and runs as a background service so you never have to worry about keeping an app open.
📌 TODAY
🧍 Join TPGi's @siblingpastry on September 6 at 12 PM ET for a webinar that dives into WCAG 2.2 and the range of new requirements for web accessibility testing.
A new article examining COVID-19 testing situations - moments in which it is no longer possible to go on in the usual way - on Twitter published in Social Media + Society, co-authored by @NoortjeMarres@gabrielecolombo@lbngr@jwyg Carolin Gerlitz & James Tripp.
👨💻 I'm building an app with as little #JavaScript as possible (only sending and receiving push notifications). I don't use any framework, and everything else is handled by the server.
❓ Now I'm wondering how to handle #testing. Does it make sense to do #UnitTesting for a few lines of JavaScript? How do you handle that? Do you only do #E2ETesting in such cases?
💭 I was already thinking about using #JSDom in #Jest, but the #HTML is generated by #Symfony, making it hard to get it in there…
once again contemplating if I want to add codecov tokens to all my currently breaking repos, or just rip out codecov
what do the cool kids do these days?
I know about Hynek's --fail-under=XX% post, but the thing I really care about day-to-day is the "lines covered/not covered in this diff or PR". #codecov#python#testing

Mal eine Frage in die Gemeinschaft.
Vor längerer Zeit hatte ich Mal eine Anleitung wie man in ein #Debian stable einbaut das manche (nicht alles) Pakete aus dem #Testing oder #unstable installiert werden. Mit allen Risiken ich weiß.
Leider finde ich die nicht mehr.
Hat hier jemand einen Tipp 🤔
Why should you unit test? What should you unit test? And how much?
Today's blog post answers these questions and provides some helpful guidelines.
The post is actually a lightly edited extract of a book on unit testing that I started about 10 years ago but never finished. Still, it has aged reasonably well.
