Long COVID can change your life--even if you've seemingly recovered. “People who have recovered from long COVID can suffer relapses or flare-ups from new viral infections — not just from COVID but from cold, flu, and other viral pathogens, researchers have found.”

The ONLY way to prevent Long COVID is to avoid your next infection with #COVID19.

#Buffalo-centric article from the BBC:
“US cities are advertising themselves as ‘climate havens’. But can they actually protect residents from extreme weather?”
bbc.com/future/article/2024062…

It points out the fact that everywhere is getting worse, Buffalo just less rapidly. It also ignores the fact that the city’s mayor of 18 years has still not figured out how to handle blizzards. So, come join us in Buffalo, where the frog boiling is slower and the leadership is yet slower than that!

Good morning, any suggestion for an accessible and friendly RSS feeds reader for Windows exxcept Thunderbird, please?
in reply to Cleverson

About updates of feeds, very older versions of the add-ons check for new articles at NVDA startup, but I preferred to deactivate it. Also, I thought about making possible to get notifications of updates of the default feed, now that NVDA includes a schedule module, but finally I decided that this is not needed and maybe anoying. Anyway, suggestions are welcome. Thanks.


Schon nach dem Tod von #Natenom ist ein schales Gefühl zurückgeblieben, auch nach dem tödlichen Unfall an der #LuxemburgerStraße. Aber nun nach dem tödlichen Unfall in #Siegburg brauche ich ein paar Zeichen mehr:

Mittelfristig _könnte_ mit dem Musterschreiben der @lebenswerte_lux (siehe unten auf der Webseite) zumindest Tempo 30 im gesamten Stadtgebiet realisiert werden.

Über den Hebel Lärm.

Okay, this one might not go so well with people but this is a draft I've been sitting on since May.

Here is my opinions about the current going alternatives to Discord, especially #Matrix and #XMPP. We need to talk about this rather now than soon.

in reply to Regalia

To briefly answer your question on what’s the deal with the #XMPP mailing lists. Most discussion happens (sort of unsurprisingly 😉) on XMPP.
Developer discussions happen here: xmpp:jdev@muc.xmpp.org?join
on sys admin stuff here: xmpp:operators@muc.xmpp.org?jo… or in the channels for the specific server software.

Just the slower paced standards discussions (for which we also want a more permanent record) happens on a mailing list.

Here in our vacation home in southern Kentucky we recently got a new LG washer and dryer. The dryer, when it finishes, plays this melody. Anyone know what it is? Note: this Youtube video is not mine. youtube.com/watch?v=nidrIvBqny…
in reply to Jayson Smith

@FreakyFwoof I actually researched that and it in deed seems to be something custom-made. Some users were tipping "The Lincolnshire Poacher" but definitely not that one. For the record, the Samsung's tune is a stanza from Schubert's "Die Forelle". BTW: If you actually Google all of that the first result you'll hit is a nicely written essay about how singing and music in general accompanied performing of household duties and how that plays into slavery themes and gender stereotypes.



The Daily Telegraph is COMPLETELY losing its shit:

"I hope you enjoy horror films, dear readers, for British politics is about to be turned into an infernal, soul-destroying hellscape worthy of the sickest of Hollywood minds …"

in reply to Charlie Stross

What the hell am I reading... This is amazing. As a set piece of hyperbolic polemic, it leaves nothing to be desired. I can't stop shedding tears for the tory non-entities who will lose their cherished rights such as... checks notes... ministerial cars and special advisors.


Aquí tienen la inoportuna sentencia que absuelve a dos acusados por un delito de odio homófobo. Dictar la sentencia durante las celebraciones del Orgullo Gay es todo un mensaje.

in reply to Almeida

Flipo con esta parte:

Sí que detectamos un componente -más reprobable si cabe- en el uso de expresiones amenazantes como “esel día de soltar hostias” o “te voy a hacer heterosexual a hostias” o “cuando salgas te voy a dar una hostia quela mariconería se te quita”.


Pues menos mal. Pero no lo bastante reprobable para ser típico, parece. En fin...

For more than 20 years, I’ve downloaded files using wget because I could never remember curl options.

It turns out that I was not alone.

@samueloph created a simple wrapper around curl called "wcurl". This is brilliant! And, yes, the name is very intuitive. Best of all, it is already in Debian (and on my system) but it should really be part of the official curl distribution (ping @bagder )

#curl #debian

in reply to ploum

as a non-native speaker of English I always read "w(e)get" (mostly in my head, e pretty silent), not "double yu get". wcurl standing for "we curl" (instead of we wget) would be a nice statement :)

No guide about Base (database editor) and Basic (BASIC IDE) ?
in reply to Alnotz

@alnotz The 500 page Base Guide is here: books.libreoffice.org/en/ – It's for an older version of LibreOffice, but there haven't been huge changes in the last few years. Re: BASIC, there are lots of guides on our wiki. Remember that the documentation is written by volunteers, so if you're missing something, please help us to fill the gaps 😊
