@pixelpusher220 @jamesmarshall @Nonilex And you know, you lose 100% of the fights you don't even start too.
Very interesting news article roundup by Jessica Wildfire on why some people don't get #COVID even when exposed.

“You can't hide from plagues, wars, and ecological disasters in a bunker.
They will find you.
Eventually.
A bunker is useless on an uninhabitable planet”
"Now let's fold this into some statements we've heard from Pfizer CEOs and investors over the last few years. During a 2022 earnings call, the company celebrated the drop of mask mandates. One of their presidents predicted that "People are going to get out there... infections are going to increase...that's the role that Paxlovid can play." Pfizer spent $25 million, not on research, but on lobbying Congress to protect their patents on vaccines and treatments. In 2021 alone, they doubled their revenue, bringing in more than $81 billion.
Actual journalists attending the meeting were shocked at how Pfizer officials spoke in cheerful tones, directly acknowledging how the end of mask mandates and social distancing would increase infections. Even the company's chief science officer described the chronically ill and immunocompromised as "a real new opportunity growth area for Paxlovid to do very well."
Jessica Wildfire, excellent as always:
»Even when the threat turns out to be very real, a majority of the public will continue to mock and ridicule the handful of us who make a reasonable effort to protect ourselves. They continue to get angry over the slightest suggestion they should pay attention to a threat.«

Nice to see #OKDoomer publishing again, unfortunate to see the circumstances behind why they have time to do so. Having taught in tertiary education for most of a decade, I can relate.
Jessica has returned and resumed posting at a reduced rate. As insightful and strong as ever.
This is her latest article:
The Third Layer of Fear

If you can help support her, please do.
I have a few objections to this commentary, but most notably the intro:
>> My phone is also a torch! My TV remembers how far I got in last night’s episode, even if I don’t! The bus stop knows when the bus is coming, and I can watch my pizza’s entire journey from the restaurant to my house! These are, frankly, miracles.
Those are not miracles by any stretch of the term
Shazam is sort of a miracle. The rest of the internet apps can gtfo
So does anyone know what happened to the #OKDoomer folks? They were publishing such a high volume... and then just went silent mid-January. Hoping they're all ok.
Friend of mine who owns a restaurant recently had to teach one of her employees who is in high school how to read time from an analog clock. 🕒 On the brighter side, at least they're able to count change unlike another former high school age employee. 🤯 Yikes!
My high school graduating class of 1994 was not the brightest IMO. Lot of drug use. Fairly illiterate. However, I'm confident that we could all read a clock and count change!
When I was a smartass computer nerd in the 80s and 90s, an eternal theme was friends and family sheepishly asking me for tech support help, and me slowly, patiently explaining to them that computers aren't scary, they're actually predictable, they won't explode or erase your data (unless you really make an effort), and they operate by simple (if somewhat arcane) rules. Edit > Cut, then click, then Edit > Paste. Save As. Use tabs, not spaces. Stuff like that. Maybe not easy, but simple, or at least consistent and learnable.
But that's not true anymore.
User interfaces lag. Text lies. Buttons don't click. Buttons don't even look like buttons! Panels pop up and obscure your workspace and you can't move or remove them -- a tiny floating x and a few horizontal lines is all you get. Mobile and web apps lose your draft text, refresh at whim, silently swallow errors, mysteriously move shit around when you're not looking, hide menus, bury options, don't respect or don't remember your chosen settings. Doing the same thing gives different results. The carefully researched PARC principles of human-computer interaction -- feedback, discoverabilty, affordances, consistency, personalization -- all that fundamental Don Norman shit -- have been completely discarded.
My tech support calls now are about me sadly explaining there's nothing I can do. Computers suck now. They run on superstition, not science. It's a real tragedy for humanity and I have no idea how to fix it.
