All this story is weird AF

I got my first Covid in the summer 2022, it was horrible and it was just the tip of the iceberg. I went from working out 5-6 days at week (for 50-70min) to waking up already exhausted. I tried to rest, I tried to work out regardless (and it was super hard to recover) I was always exhausted. This has a toll on all aspects of my life, relationships got severed by me not being available, work was ok (thank goodness I am at a seniority level lower than I actually am) but not great. I went to the doctors but there is no test for long covid so they started testing me for everything and, of course, got lost in all possible imperfection of my body

In December 2023 I got my second Covid. It wasn’t that bad and, incredibly, after that I started to slowly (over months) to recover. I am still not at the level I used to be before (I get tired much more easily) but now I can have a normal life.

Yes, I had 3 vaccines doses before my first Covid… and, even if in my country the Covid vaccine is discouraged for people that aren’t old enough, I keep on doing.

Some people are just more susceptible and it is not the “cold” that some people think it is

Never changed the ROM of my abdroid phones but, as far as I understand, it should possible to install Lineage and lock the boot loader and stop using root, no?

Duolingo

I suspect some employees (like the one of this article) are happy to do it for free… just for the fun

Copyright doesn’t work like that.

The fact that you put online (e.g. in an online shop or, heck, even for free on your website) doesn’t imply anyone can use it for anything they please.

For example an mp3 on a indie musician website for making people know their music, doesn’t mean people can start making CD out of it and selling them

You may say that piracy exists but it is illegal and AI training is pretty much for profit piracy (using something outside the intended scope defined by the author for profit)

Right but maybe the WSJ should have hired a Russian (or 3rd nationality) journalist for the role.

It’s not different on how things were in Cuba few years ago where it wasn’t possible to send US citizens there

This was not the driver, it was a config file or something read by the driver. Now having a driver in kernel space depending on a config on a regular path is another fuck up

If I had to bet my money, a bad machine with corrupted memory pushed the file at a very final stage of the release.

The astonishing fact is that for a security software I would expect all files being verified against a signature (that would have prevented this issue and some kinds of attacks

To be fair, me as a south European kid I had an hard time to understand where the issue was there 😅 Sure power imbalance but more something to frown upon rather than the huge deal it became.

I think it is better that that kind of “scandals” are not happening any more

Clearly fake: LLM don’t mind citing their sources 😂

Wait! Vatican recognized Palestine?!?

Either way if what Spain said is true and Europe becomes green as well, it would be pretty much US, Australia and Israel to not recognize Palestine
