My GF and I were talking about vaccines and COVID, mainly doubts about them. We both got the vaccine pretty quick. A lot of the talk was about how a healthy skepticism of the profit driven US healthcare system leaves room for doubt. It’s not like the vaccine made us any less sick or prevented us from catching it, or transmitting it. So we were asking ourselves what was the point?
Ultimately we landed at a pretty logical conclusion which is that the widespread vaccine seemed to ultimately drop the total COVID rate down and we seem to catch some variant of it similar to the flu once a year now. My sister works in healthcare and she usually knows when COVID is making the rounds. I don’t find myself leaning antivaxx. I am skeptical of the Trump and Biden administrations both though in the USA. It’s all too odd how willing people are to put their faith into the vaccine with literally zero doubts.
Even if you don’t agree with any of it, thanks for posting the news. That’s interesting.
I find all this “bog down your system” answers to be a crock of shit. Go run ESET nod32 and put it in interactive mode. Yes, you’ll get a lot of prompts but damn you’ll learn so much about what’s going on in your computer and the networks it’s reaching out to. If you’re on windows run glass wire or OSX run little snitch. I used to know a Linux alternative for those but the point stands that you should have tools that you can use in a desktop setting to really understand what is running, and what it’s connecting to. You should have a program running that can check against a database of hashes of files for signature matches. It seems though like there’s not strong enough AV. And I suspect that’s on purpose so state actors can easily get into our systems in all nations.
Can someone tell me how decentralized money became the enemy? It is decentralized currency that is like everything we stand for literally using mastodon protocol here.
it’s not the creators fault that the first thing the userbase did was centralize it onto these marketplaces lol. I’m reminding people that this is conceptually great but terrible implementation, across the board.
So your solution is make Lemmy like reddit ya fuck that.
The first thing people do with free speech once they realize people have it is limit it. Mods will always come out of the wood works to ban bots its nbd.
