My friend (mentioned in the thread below) had a layover in Frankfurt. During the layover she tested positive for COVID-19. She had to reschedule her flight to Namibia, and was admitted to a hospital for treatment.

She is no longer in need of urgent medical care, and so will be released from the hospital soon. Due to the looming lockdown and her positive test result it doesn't look like she will have anywhere to stay for the remainder of her quarantine period (at least 10 more days).

Are there any facilities in or around Frankfurt set up for patients who test positive for COVID-19? English language searches don't yield much, and advice from someone who knows the local situation better at the moment is urgently needed.

She has already contacted the US embassy, who weren't able to offer much assistance.

Advice from someone who knows the situation better needed urgently! Boosts highly appreciated.

I admit, I did NOT see this one coming. I am happy to see it though.

having a cat is just going "why does my cat do *annoying behavior*" and then learning that its a way for cars to communicate that they love you and being like "oh 🥺"

If you have medications, are you taking them?

Stop and stretch your body however you can.

Planned obsolescence can undermine privacy - and our pocketbook. For example, Apple computers, that get phased out of new software updates, may force us to make unnecessary choices.

This could force us to purchase new computers (when they are still viable) and to use hardware and software that may be outside our needs.

Try to install Linux before you opt for a new device. POP_OS performs wonderfully on outdated iMacs. Many distros can take a slow Windows PC and give it new life.

Try an app for your phone and computer that reduces the blue light on your screens at night.

why is it that my cat gets to spend all day in my bed and i don't

This is one of the very first @PINE64 #pinetime coming out of the factory programmed with an open source firmware, #InfiniTime.

Unboxing it was one of the most satisfying moment, and this is actually the very first time I've ever wear a Pinetime on my wrist :D

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦‍♂️

PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE

And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)

Boost if I'm right.
