Following #COVID-19 medical advice is a partisan issue in the US now. The virus is non-partisan, but if one party engages in riskier behavior resulting in more deaths among its members, recent elections have been close enough that it could impact the outcome in November.

Today I released the first edition of Riot Medicine, a public domain book to help street medics in the struggle for liberation, autonomy, and dignity for all. You can download all 466 pages for free here: https://riotmedicine.net/downloads

"Senate Votes to Allow FBI to Look at Your Web Browsing History"

Must be an interesting day at the different VPN providers with such great marketing opportunities being given to them by external circumstances.

When I feel like there have been too few system updates lately, I switch branches from stable to unstable.

Oooooooh, 248 package updates!

Brain is a weird thing.

When I want to think fast and get things done I think in English.

When I want to feel arrogant and pompous I think in French.

What do Spotify, Venmo, Tinder, TikTok & DoorDash have in common?

Their apps all crashed last week because they send data to Facebook, and Facebook had a bug!

Since tracking code is in so many apps, we strongly recommend deleting apps you rarely use.

Expanding the Patriot Act to allow warrantless surveillance of browsing activity threatens everyone's right to privacy. As a Swiss company, Proton is not subject to US law, and the encryption we use in ProtonMail, @protonvpn, and @ProtonCalendar helps keep your data private. https://newrepublic.com/article/157693/congress-may-hand-bill-barr-keys-online-life

Remember, there is a generation that don't see nothing wrong here.

Day 18 of #100DaysToOffload:

I took today to beg for help from the greater Fediverse with an issue I've been having with write.as. Also, I know all the Mastodon addresses are resolving to links that point to some wacky thing that doesn't work. I'm sure there's a way to keep it from doing that, but I didn't do the research to find out what it was for this one. Please ignore those links.

Friendly reminder: "X as a service" is just a misleading corporate euphemism for "pay forever for not owning it".

"Software as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning the software".

"Games as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning games".

"Infrastructure as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning the hardware".

And so on.

There is no "cloud", it's just other people's computers
