Even though Trump's age puts him in a higher risk category for both hospitalization and death, people still have to realize that the percentages in those categories still aren't very high. Trump may come out of this thinking COVID-19 is no worse than the flu, and set policy based on that.
People also have to realize that mortality numbers are skewed higher due to the vast majority of people are unable to afford timely care.

There are serious problems with platforms’ moderation practices, but the problem isn’t liberals silencing conservatives. The problem is the powerful silencing the powerless. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/10/online-content-policy-modernization-act-unconstitutional-mess

The true #hacktoberfest challenge: submit a PR on any platform OTHER than github (@codeberg or #gitlab) and as a reward, you can boast about supporting truly open source platforms and none of that corporate surveillance crap.

Huh. Just had quite a good experience with DigitalOcean support. Far more responsive than MS Azure support (we've stopped using Azure), and keen to help us sort the problem (system error updating payment methods), now resolved (system issue on their end).

Don't expect your local police to enforce law and order at polling places. Be aware and be prepared. Know your rights. Ask for help. Take advantage of early voting if you can.

I'm sorry, but watching this debate is unbearable. They have the debating skills and attitude of a bunch of 10 year olds.

“Has anyone started having discussions with their CIO/CEO about moving back to an in-house mail server? I advocate for it” https://www.cbronline.com/opinion/microsoft-outage Heh heh. Yup.
The only desktop-(tablet)-phone convergence I want is for applications to work on both. (where it makes sense to use the same application on both.) I don't want my phone to look like my desktop and I don't want my desktop to look like my phone.
Radically different screen sizes justify different user interface designs.
BUT...the real bottom line is that the user should be able to make whichever device appear in a manner that pleases them.
