I learned this one about a year ago and every time I try and do the push stroke I pretty successfully slip and cut myself. So I get you can do both but I'll be damned if the pull stroke isn't the only one I'm still doing.

Mozilla to explore healthy cigarette smoking..

I was in the same boat - I can't remember the exact issue now - but I had to both compile locally and revert back to an older version for it to work. There were issues on Github relating to my exact problem but I can't find them now. Currently running 0.3.3 as my daily driver, no issues.

The best thing to come out of all of this is people questioning their continued use of social media. Switching to Mastodon, it being different, not liking it and just dropping it all entirely. It's the BEST outcome. Social media is a fucking cancer on society and it's fantastic to see it being questioned. It's like soda and candy - empty calories that does absolutely nothing for you.

"Payment detail and account passwords have not been compromised."

No, just your identity is. If you're Australian, you or someone you know will be in this. What a total fuck up.

This is still lapping up the bullshit of what it actually is. It's a redundancy plain and simple, your job is being terminated, it should be reported as such.

This, unfortunately, is right on the money.

Exactly what I was thinking. If the optical illusion looks the same from multiple different viewing angles, is it not then exactly what you see and not an illusion? Versus other illusions, once the perspective changes, the illusion is revealed. This shit is getting way meta.

Literally all of the above.

I can't for the life of me understand why your last statement isn't what the world is driving for at the moment. mRNA vaccines are easily(-ish) updated, so punch out an Omicron specific dose and get on with the regular single/dual (if needed) regime.

It seems strange we'd opt for 3-4-5 shots given the benefit of mRNA was its ease of creation and modification.

16+ is not the whole ACT population and was my point. Undoubtedly 99% are great numbers for 16+… but an entire cohort is excluded from vaccination statistics of which are vulnerable to infection.

We don't have 90-95% vaccinated in Australia or any state of Australia. It's of the eligible population and it's excluding the under 12 year olds. The whole covid is mild in children argument aside, the fact is the population simply is not 90+ vaccinated.

This right here.

And there you go.

The thing about Australia is we love to walk eyes wide open into failure. We watch policies being implemented in other countries with real world data to learn from, and will then just unabashedly ignore it and do it all ourselves to achieve the exact same outcomes.

This is across technology, politics, climate, business, the works. It's ingrained culturally and will never change.

Where is Satya lately? The last few years his face was everywhere, doing some very common sense things that got MS back to being a leading player. What the fuck is with Windows 11? Some common sense judgement could be used here.

If a cohort of countries pooled resources (like COVAX, WHO, NATO, etc) and focused on fucking off these plants, would that not be a big step towards the global goals?

Edit: COVAX was a bad example to use, my bad.

As someone who just bought their first iPad last week, I wonder the exact same thing. A nice cuddle from Apple telling me how they're protecting me from evil, but you hold all the same shit about me. So now I just trust a _different_ for profit company? Until when? At one stage Google wasn't evil, now it's evil as fuck.

Right, which is the problem.

If governments truly gave a shit about their people and medical resources that's exactly what they should do.

That's some cojones.

Heh guess I can cross this off my ideas list. 100% this is the way to go.

Man, all the WHO bashing comments are getting downvoted pretty quickly, except:

- WHO took a _long_ time to declare a pandemic when member countries were asking for it.

- WHO actively discouraged international border closures for containment.

- WHO took way too long to declare aerosol transmission even when countries had identified it.

In a global scale event like this, there's no individual country who should have been the shepherd. It should have been the WHO, comprised of all its member inputs, really showing the lead here.

Each individual country owns responsibility for their own preparedness, no doubt or question about that, but the WHO needs a re-organization big time.

We had a similar experience, where my wife was STRESSED OUT ALL THE TIME at the data in these apps. Everything was tracked and it was fucking awful. The reliance on them meant she had no idea how to feel intuitively about our kid growing inside of her. After some convincing, the apps were ditched, she felt more "in tune" with what was going on, and we even had a ride to hospital to check on things because she felt things had gone quiet movement wise. Our kid moved like clockwork at certain times of the day and after meals, no app needed to figure that out.

These apps are a fucking cancer on what should be an enjoyable and natural time.

The country most ravaged by COVID-19 where the spread is entirely localized, requires international passengers... good thanks.

I completely agree with you.

What?

Zerologon?

ksplice is about the only reason I could see. How often are you using ksplice for patching where downtime isn't an option?
