Stevie Nicks has begged fans to wear face masks, claiming if she catches COVID-19 she "will probably never sing again".
The 72-year-old Fleetwood Mac singer urged fans to take the coronavirus pandemic seriously, and adopt precautions to limit the spread of the virus.
Nicks wrote on her Facebook page: "A lot of people still aren't taking the wearing of a simple mask seriously - or, just trying to be aware of how close you are to others... It is not political. It is a silent killer hiding in the shadows. It is stalking you. It doesn't care who you are... It's just looking for a victim."
She went on: "If I get it, I will probably never sing again. Put me on a ventilator and I will be hoarse for the rest of my life - I don't have much time."
The Go Your Own Way singer compared the pandemic to the 2018 Ryan Murphy TV series she guest-starred in, American Horror Story: Apocalypse.
She said: "What's going on in our country now, is a real American Horror Story. Nobody is leading us. Nobody has a plan. Unless people change their attitude from - Oh this is such a bummer to stay in and wear a mask and follow the rules, and not party' - We will never get ahead of this virus."
She added: "This is a real American Horror Story. It is not a mini-series - it is a tragedy."

Niekto pasívnu dovolenku v rezorte pri mori zaznáva, ja ju však, raz za rok, mám naozaj rád. Veľa spánku, veľa jedla, veľa slnka, vody... žiadne plánovanie, žiadne rozhodovanie, nič - proste vypnúť mozog, a to úplne. Maximálne ešte nejaké ľahké, ultra zábavné čítanie - nejakú Zemeplošskú klasiku od Pratchetta...
Takže tu som sa posledných niekoľko dní váľal a nehanbím sa za to... Dnes už späť do reality. Bolo to skvelé.

“We often dismiss skills that are not societally valued by pretending they are not skills. Or, sure, maybe they're skills, but they're mysterious and ineffable!
“You reinforce this idea each time you say ‘soft skills’ instead of working to enumerate them. Perhaps you mean ‘interpersonal skills,’ ‘leadership skills,’ or ‘communication skills.’ These are all technical skills, and they all have names.” - Sasha Laundy 🔥🔥🔥

hey, so heads up:
that Win11 v24H2 "Enterprise G" ISO that's been the hot news lately is a complete flat-out lie based on files sourced from Windows Update servers, mashed together to form a poorly-made hackjob which also uses binaries from Windows 10 Pro v2004. to put simply:
- ISO volume name and creation date are bogus; wrong tools used to generate image (imapi2 instead of oscdimg/cdimage) - final resulting OS image was produced a week ago on 27th June 2024 at 04:09:00 AM (UTC), ISO generated at roughly 04:25 AM
- OS image is directly based off of the v24H2 RTM build's Pro source packages - WIM creation times match 1:1 with metadata ESDs from WU
- the "Enterprise G" edition manifest's code signing catalog is actually borrowed from win10 v2004's professional edition; catalog signed on 7th December 2019 (same time as VB_RELEASE 19041.1); the conversion from Pro to "Enterprise G" using these hacked-together files took two minutes, tops
- author tried to deliberately hide their tracks by removing any and all logs from the CBS logs directory
- it's partially set up to auto-activate using massgrave KMS38 and remove edge after installation (the Edge removal thing is not present though)
- guy who made the ISO also directly modified the media to swap out the setup background image from purple to pitch black to poorly "replicate" a problem present in official MS media for Win11 v24H2
the real Enterprise G is actually published by CMIT (joint venture between MS and CETC in China), meant for China government employees - first introduced in May 2017. the last release the venture made was based on Windows 10 v21H2 CU build 19044.1345, released on 28th January 2022.

I understand there's a lot of pearl clutching going on here, but we do know the Messages app also stores your chats and contacts in human-readable text (in a sqlite db), right? And that any app can just go read it?
