yummybrainz··on NHS goes to war against open source
Perhaps I'm being paranoid and should assume ignorance rather them malice, but I can't help but wonder if there was significant lobbying from companies providing healthcare software to make these repos closed-source.

I know nothing about the NHS, so I have no idea if this is plausible.

> long URLs interrupt the text just because you want a hyperlink

This annoyed me until I realized pandoc supports separating [the link text] from the link location.

  [the link text]: </url/to/resource>

yummybrainz··on Nova Launcher added Facebook and Google Ads tracking
KISS launcher is excellent. I've been using it for years now and would never go back to any other style of launcher.

The only improvement I could imagine is supporting multiple screens of widgets (i.e. swiping left/right or scrolling up/down).

For folks interested in checking it out:

yummybrainz··on Stanford Medicine study shows mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines can cause myocarditis
> However, Wu noted, if the inflammation is severe the resulting heart injury can be quite debilitating, leading to hospitalizations; ICU admissions for critically ill patients; and deaths, albeit rarely.

> “But COVID’s worse,” he added. A case of COVID-19 is about 10 times as likely to induce myocarditis as an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination, Wu said. That’s in addition to all the other trouble it causes.

I recall hearing about this as a low-probability potential side effect during the pandemic. What do you mean by "swept this under the rug"?
