Just showed the kids Windows 95 running in a browser (🤯) and the thing they were amazed about is how clean it was. No toolbars everywhere, no junk in the task bar, nothing that looked like ads, etc. It's sad how things have evolved.

New, by me: International law firm Orrick, which works with companies affected by security incidents and data breaches, has experienced its own cyberattack that exposed the sensitive health information of hundreds of thousands of data breach victims.

More than 637,000 data breach victims had information stolen during Orrick's cyberattack in March 2023.

I really hate when people compare Covid to AIDS. Firstly, it's hugely inaccurate on many many levels and it's minimizing and appropriating the experiences and suffering of others. Secondly, it usually reveals their complete ignorance of what it was like, both in terms of the activism and also just how people reacted individually and also as community. One thing that people who constantly compare Covid to AIDS very clearly don't understand or know is that people responded to it very differently, both those who thought they weren't at risk and those of us who knew we were. Some people, quite a few actually, did just go "fuck it, I've got one life and I'm going to live it hard and large now." We can talk about the complexities of it all but I am here to tell you that it wasn't some Utopian time when everyone was protecting each other and being cautious, and that lots of people didn't take it seriously back then either. So please stop trying to compare Covid to AIDS for dramatic affect, it's ahistorical and it's no more scientifically accurate than someone saying "Covid is just the flu" either.

@kkarhan @fifilamoura not everyone recovers. Only most people recover. Many people are left with permanent disability, or symptoms that eventually kill them. The other similarity is that they both damage the immune system (to different extents, and with different treatment responses). They’re not the same at all.

> OFC they ain't the same!

Yes, I was agreeing with you both :) I think we’re on the same page :)

@kkarhan Yes, I support people trying to be safer and having access to the tools to do so.

@kkarhan AIDS hit everyone at once, nobody cared about White gay men dying either because they were gay and also deserved it. That's why rich White men and a lot of gay men in general were all in the closet back then (the push for Gay marriage was directly related to AIDS end of life care issues, it was a very different time to be queer). The narrative at the time was that it was God's punishment for homosexuality. What changed things was a combination of Act Up becoming impossible to ignore AND the families of rich White gay men getting involved out of love for their sons and brothers both pushing for research to be funded and raising money for research AND the medical community getting over their fear/refusal to treat AIDS patients.

@hughrawlinson Sure, I'm not discounting that viruses can be debilitating (my aunt has ME/CF, likely due to a viral infection many decades ago) and I also have autoimmune disorders (and both my parents are doctors, along with this not being my first rodeo with a deadly pandemic, just to inform you about my perspective on this). The realty is that not everyone recovers from the flu or other viruses either (post viral syndrome is generally what it's referred to as). This is the nature of viruses, they are often persistent and can have long tails and consequences for the immune system. Now, I'm not saying this to minimize how terrible post viral syndrome is at all or to say that we shouldn't try to be safer when and where we can, what I'm saying is that comparing it to AIDS is opportunistic, often paints a very inaccurate picture of what the AIDS pandemic was actually like for those of us who experienced it intimately and is actually an act of erasure and appropriation.

    Wie hier genölt wird, weil die Ampel TEILWEISE Agrar-Reduzierungen zurücknimmt oder den Landwirten mehr Zeit einräumt... In manchen Tröts steckt so ein Hass, der für eine Demokratie nicht gesund ist!

    Ich habe lieber eine Regierung, die auch mal zurückrudert, als alles durchzusetzen, was einmal beschlossen wurde.

    Und nein, schickt mir keine Fotos von Galgen. Ich lese Zeitung & kenne diese.
    Nazis gibt es überall.

    Ich fordere die Ampel aber auf, Pläne für die Bürgergeld-Kürzungen & Sanktionen auf Eis zu legen, da die wenigsten Arbeitslosen einen Job wirklich ablehnen & "Arbeitsverweigerer" sind!
    Die Zahlen sprechen für sich!
