Currently we're a former software engineer. Doing our best to avoid the plague with self-iso and well-fitting respirators! Also no longer eating croissants due to having adopted a gluten-free diet.

genuine question:

several times per day, I hear honking from random drivers as they pass by my house, usually in this pattern:

can someone explain why?

“Immunity Debt Means SARS-CoV-2 Is Good For Your Health, Actually”

@trendless 💧️ pseudoscience like "immunity debt" will easily spread because it lets people believe that their communities and leaders aren't harming them. that's it, really. the more the evidence points to the wanton harm, the more others will need to believe that this is for their own good

I should do the whole sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y thing, huh?

croissant,
@croissant@zeroes.ca avatar

@steven 🌟️ Definitely won't hurt if it's Debian. The && in the command line only runs the next command if the first succeeds, and you almost always want to run an upgrade after updating the package DB anyway. Running them in tandem is probably the best way to do it. As for auto-accepting the upgrade, well, I'm pretty sure most sysadmins don't actually check which packages are being upgraded.

So, basically, no.

🌶️ Hey remember how the early pandemic strategy for most governments was to assume that long-term effects would be minimal and would only affect a small portion of immune-naïve survivors of the initial wave of disease?

Remember how this is the strategy that is still being employed despite the overwhelming body of evidence suggesting that this is a Bad Idea?

The CDC is so catastrophically bad, I see them posting half-decent ventilation guidelines and I'm immediately suspicious what their gameplan is.

How does this fit into their inevitable quadrupling down on COVID minimization?

Did anyone else have their sense of community completely shattered by seeing those around them become disease-loving reactionaries, or was it just me?

@reinhilde 🌟️ I'm going to be honest, I think those with a more cautious nature took the time to really listen to the warnings made by disabled people at the start of the pandemic.

That's to say, I used to minimized flu and post-acute conditions as well.

I’ve travelled from Ireland to Finland via Germany over the past few days and I was the only one wearing a face mask in the airport or onboard the plane. In a pandemic! WTF, people? Do better! 😷

@keithwilson 🌺️ Counterpoint: You were the only one masking because most of your fellow maskers won't be travelling by air, if at all.
