blain··on Vaccine passports will hurt the poor and threaten medical ethics
If vaccines are accessible to poor people leading to more vacinnated populus, why are vaccine passports needed?

I'm not anti-vax but I don't understand why people think vaccines are going to solve everything, isn't covid here to stay? why make it another control measure?

blain··on “We urgently need a 'Paris Agreement for Disinformation' “
I agree, instead of agreement for disinformation I would take agreement for open discussion.

The whole situation around what happend(s) feels to me like middle ages and burning down witches but in a different (mostly virtual) way.

edit: spelling

blain··on GitHub Copilot

blain··on Living Like It's 99, No Social Media, No Smartphone
Giving up a new "cool" few things doesn't mean you will "miss out" on new things. You still can try new things when they come out.

I think the biggest benefit of living like in 99s, just like the author pointed out is a "Peace of mind".

Also, regarding:

> Retreating to the past isn’t controlling your addictions, it’s giving up.

as if addictions were a good thing. You can also look at it this way: choosing self controlled addictions over "giving up" a device over a dumber one.

blain··on Zero Data App

blain··on jQuery 3.6.0
Well, Wordpress and Drupal still uses jQuery, they auto load it by default and there is no reason not use at this point, unless you specifically building React or some other custom thing on top of either of them.
