I agree and I really hope that in the long term the data proves any side effects are extremely rare and my experience is an outlier.

The way the public conversation has unfolded in this crisis has been extremely disappointing to say the least and I understand your position. All the misinformation, conspiracy theories and politicising has made any real conversation impossible. Anything can and will be used to undermine confidence in vaccines. Unfortunately that means genuine issues get bundled in with the untrue in most peoples minds in my experience at least. I really don't envy anyone in the medical field at the moment when facts are twisted/discarded and people are dying as a result.

> Well I’m taking a stand against the anecdote then

I am not generalising, just providing a single data point about my local health service which is very relevant to my treatment. Even if it an outlier or does not match your colleagues experiences it does not make it less true for me.

I recommend reading the top comment by walterbell. Not everything is an attack on medicine/science. While it's important to keep discussions honest/scientifically accurate, it's also important to show some empathy and realise not everything is a debate or attack.

>I’ll take a stand against your claim of there being a tsunami of patients with vaccine injuries in i dating rhumatologies

I'm not making that claim. I'm only providing an anecdote about my local health service and that is what I have been told.

> However, if it is happening, we will surely see it in the data.

I guess it will take time since these conditions can take time to manifest or be diagnosed. I really hope it proves to be a rare occurrence.

Thanks you for this thoughtful response. I chose to be vaccinated and unfortunately have suffered serious consequences like a very small number of other people will statistically. It's been pretty disheartening to see that sharing anything negative about vaccines, even those warned about by medical officials, leads to very negative reactions from people (being told to shut up, being censored/downvoted online etc). I honestly no longer discuss why I'm sick or why I can't do certain things with friends or co-workers.

I'm in this boat. I'm worried I now have a life long disability before 35. I'm waiting for an appointment with a Rheumatology consultant and I have been told by my doctor they have been inundated with people with post COVID vaccine side effects.

Edit: I would like to hear other people's experiences if they are willing to post them.

It really doesn't explain why they chose a book as their format over a searchable website or why they chose a 2 page layout, with one color inverted.

Spreading the content over 2 pages makes it very unusable. Displaying 2 pages side by side makes the content too small to read. Having every 2nd page color inverted makes it unprintable. It's also annoying if (like me) you invert the colors on your e-reader or PDF viewer.

I also noticed the index doesn't have hyperlinks to the content pages and it doesn't appear to have a working table of contents making it even more difficult to use on an e-reader.

I like the concept but the implementation has serious usability issues.

It looks like a good resource but why distribute it as a PDF and not a searchable webpage? And why put the diagrams and tables on different pages?

For more obscure pinouts, I still check https://pinouts.ru/

The new Pro model has a significantly better processor. They're using a binned and underclocked 28nm Rockchip RK3399S 64bit SoC – 2x A72 and 4x A53 CPU cores @ 1.5GHz. The They used an A64 in the base model which was a 40nm Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53.

>they believe it will instead be a cataclysm greater than any previous mass extinction event in Earth's history.

It is already broadly accepted that we are already experiencing a massive mass extinction event - the Anthropocene Extinction.

I think critics don't really understand the scale or scope of the changes humans have made to the planet and the negative results for all other species. Global warming is just one issue, perhaps one of the most pressing, but it also blinds people to the devastation of deforestation, coral reef loss and a multiple of other man made disasters.

There are standards they likely have to follow, e.g. IEC 62304.

They don't even need to switch to Plasma. KDE is build on libraries [1] that build on Qt. You can build a custom desktop environment like LXQt [1] from them.

I wonder what toolkit they will use. I guess since they will be using Rust, it's easier to use bindings to GTK instead of Qt which is C++.

KDE has so many useful libraries [1] that can be used to build trailored desktops, like LXQt.

I see Brave are interested [1] in reproducible builds but it's not implemented yet. [2] I'm not sure if their CI artifacts are public or not.

Once I would have used this, but I can't just can't bring myself to trust forks by small or unknown teams. We trust browsers with passwords to everything in our lives, like our bank details. The FAQ doesn't even cover who created LibreWolf. Why should I trust them?

Even if I do trust the developers, are they really capable of keeping a modern complex browser secure in the hostile environment of todays internet? It has millions of lines of code in multiple languages with a history going back 2 decades. I can't find:

- who is responsible for the project security

- their CVE policies

- policies for back porting Firefox patches etc

- update schedules

They also removed the auto-updater which is critical to ensuring browsers get the latest patches.

I'm really skeptical about the (undocumented) "hundreds of privacy/security/performance settings and patches" they claim to have implemented. What exactly cannot be achieved through settings and addons?

I doubt it. They have been found to be in violation of the GPL for years, ranging from media codecs to bootloaders. Their response, even after joining the Linux foundation, was to obfuscate the code to make GPL violations hard to find.

Windows is using Amazons Android store? That raises some uncomfortable questions about privacy:

> Regardless of whether you choose to apply Amazon DRM, Amazon wraps your app with code that enables the app to communicate with the Amazon Appstore client to collect analytics, evaluate and enforce program policies, and share aggregated information with you. Your app will always communicate with the Amazon Appstore client when it starts, even if you choose not to apply DRM.

Not exact matches. Hashes. Hashes that were quickly show to have collisions that the company brushed off.

I haven't looked at Nuitka in a long time. Last time I did Windows support was not great and compilation took forever. I'll try it again.

Unfortunately Go does not have an equivalent to Pandas as far as I know. The biggest attraction of Python is the ecosystem.

This is exactly my problem. I have to support Windows (a locked down corporate version) and Linux.

I used to recommend articles with titles like "modern Python package structure and tooling" to graduates. I stopped because the tools (poetry, pipenv etc) were changing so much. I try to fit as much of our workflows into hand made templates and PyCharm now.

Python is such a joy to write and such a nightmare to set up, package and distribute.

The Python Foundation needs to adopt or create standard and supported ways of doing things. I spend so much time dealing with issues that should have been solved a long time ago. Special shout out to the PyInstaller devs for providing so much value while constantly fighting to deal with upstream changes.

On a related note, does anyone know of any open source project that could parse the website text and generate a list of tags?

I think you're the one missing the larger picture. One of the main selling points of mass vaccination is herd immunity to protect those that are unvaccinated - including babies and cancer patients.

Yes, it's pretty blatant, particularly the cherry picked facts at the end about polar bears. It's sad people fall for this. We need to teach critical thinking and media analysis skills in schools.

He's intentionally mixing woodlands with commercial/working forests. The EU does want to increase forestry but it's almost entirely for timber production.

If you read the article the authors directly address this and use datasets of machine translated articles as controls.

From his wikipedia entry:

> The Jerusalem Post describes his support for Israel as a "far-right Zionism". He calls all "nationalists" to join in the struggle against "cultural Marxists/multiculturalists" [1]

Now fear of "cultural Marxists" destroying Europe/US/Christianity etc is mainstream talk in right of center politics.

I tried to set this up in docker. It fails with an exception that I think is related to the Captcha solver. There is no explanation I can see about how I can turn this feature off or why/if the Captcha solver (which is a paid service) is required.

No Invidious official release since 2019 and it had huge memory leak issues that was unresolved for months last time I checked. Public instances were constantly restarting docker instances to work around it.
