@MrTWatson @blindscribe the vaccines do work but not how the media advertised it. The vaccine trains your body to fight. The training is only useful if your body gets invaded. The virus is always evolving. Infecting more people gives it more of a chance to mutate in a way that our body cannot see it. Vaccines don't increase the mutation rate. It is different to antibiotics, they directly attack bacteria, while vaccines only mimic viruses to train your body.

@Snoro New Zealand with all its Earth quakes! At least Tasmania is on the list.

@phryk then permissive licences are not FOSS. I think that's why capitalists prefer MIT and use 'open source', no freedoms involved.

I tried to watch an old #bluray tonight and my PS3 is not working. So I tried Windows, Mac, and Linux and nothing has the #DRM codec to play the disc! Can you even buy a Blu-ray nowadays? I was able to watch Blu-rays a few years ago but now everything has lost support.

@cantinto@eldritch.cafe checkout your library. They may have an ebook or audio book service where you can loan digital books.

@alexbuzzbee I use devel

@be Alpine Linux also has a good webpage for their packages

@talon @charlag @Mayana wow, reading that issue. I see why building for accessibility first is important. What a mess they got themselves into!

@grumpysmiffy I changed my master branch to devel and it's all fine with Gitlab. Does Github require it to be main?

@ParadeGrotesque @rysiek@mastodon.technology @alcinnz they can create a file manager to do everything they want. It'll just look like a cockpit and it'll be way harder to learn than bash.
I tried apps that batch files and they are always too much work to use and the skills don't translate anything else.

@blueberry @be how far back is old? Is the latest LTS version enough and to cover 98% of active systems?
(Chrome+Safari 😱 in web land)
Maybe for your project state what you are willing to support. Including up to the latest Arch build?

@mwlucas their experience is the same for the flu. My dad got the flu shot but my mum didn't because she got the covid vaccine and forgot to get the flu shot. Both ended up getting the flu. My dad just had a runny nose and little cough for 3 days. While my mum was stuck in bed for days and feeling terrible with bad symptoms for 2 weeks!
Vaccines are not a shield, they train your body to know how to detect and kill the enemy.

@dsfgs computers are not making people trans. They felt their workplace and community was hostile to trans people and they did not come out. Now they feel safer and accepted they are publicly coming out.

@rysiek @colby Lonely Planet does this with their travel books. Each chapter is separate.

@devinprater@dragonscave.space @MadestMadness I'm new to coding and following your mastodon account has motivated me to want to work on accessibility. Even "big" projects have very few contributors with most people being users.

@Gemma your sinuses maybe blocked and you need to yawn to open them up. Maybe from a build up of mucus. If there is a pressure difference between your ears, your ears maybe blocked with ear wax. Getting them flushed is easy and cheap, from a doctor.
If you feel pain when you yawn or press on your face, see a doctor.

@cadadr@toot.cat true about the economic freedom Boomers have, and still have with the inflated value of housing. Just to add another note. The Australian Bureau of Statistics only categories Boomers because of the 'bump' they generate in the age distribution. After the world wars, there was a massive influx of births that has not happened before or since.
