Even if you were already vaccinated, your body sees the virus and makes more of whatever it needs to in order to kill it when it finds it. Then your body will keep more of that antibody around for the future because it … happened again.

I reject the premise. People have varying strengths of their immune system outside of autoimmune diseases, they’re not equal. One person’s natural ability to fight off a disease is not the same as another’s. Immune systems also can get overwhelmed. People can even get multiple viruses at the same time.

While scientifically, if I’m not mistaken, natural immunity tends to be a stronger form of immunity once the person survives a disease, surviving the disease is of course not a guarantee for anyone. Vaccination, when available, reduces the chance a person dies to a disease in the same way that warning somebody about something allows them to take preparatory action.

Prefer? Vaccination every time if available. I don’t like getting diseases my body has to scramble to fight.

I mean preppers try to be as self sufficient as they can. Hosting your own stuff is similar to that, so yeah, I guess.

My outage was when the internet to my house was intermittent, not when AWS went down

If you’re definitely making the hop, copy the whole windows file system to an external NTFS-formatted drive and then mount that and sort the files later haha.

You won’t be able to boot it as a backup, but the files will be there. If you have drive encryption you have to turn it off

Interestingly; Taco Bell has some of the cheapest fast food you can get with their luxe box line, but that more speaks to how bad everything else has gotten post-covid and during this term.

The amount of violence perpetrated by the American Right is statistically significant in recent years. The opposite is not as significant.

That said, of course I agree it’s the rich vs us.

Bought a gun. Have used them plenty, never figured I’d own one. Political violence by the American right is too commonplace. This administration is sweeping people off the street without due process. I’ve read history books. Might as well buy it and not need it than need it and not have it is how I feel.

And to anyone thinking about buying a gun who has never fired one, take a safety course and try it out first.

That’s 1800 hours of the-device-that-watched-it’s electricity saved (minus whatever amount humans might have skipped manually)

I use gitea for my personal projects, though if you’re not already using it, forgejo (a fork) may be better (I don’t know).

Network effects are quite difficult to overcome. Lemmy’s largest influxes of users have been when Reddit does something unpopular enough to warrant people looking for other places. Same was true when Reddit became popular because Digg made bad decisions, or Facebook when MySpace did.

The answer is that Lemmy almost assuredly will never be as popular, but at least its future is not dictated by the profits of a company, or censorship imposed by or on that company.

The best we can do is make Lemmy a viable alternative (it is) and ensure it is of a high quality.

The Brave Little Toaster.

Yeah, I know. But the AC unit dying freaked me out.

JPEG isn’t great at storing flat-color lossless images, which is PNG’s forte.

JPEG isn’t, but JPEG-XL, on the other hand, has come into existence and has great compression while being pixel-perfect lossless as compared to PNG (among a host of other improvements).

If only it got the support it deserves (thanks Google for making that harder)

More people speak English as a second language than people speak English as a first/native language, so you’re in the majority!

Their company is an AI assistant for shopping, so trying to put AI everywhere including places it shouldn’t be is gonna happen.

I like my build scripts dependable, debuggable, and deterministic. This is wild. When the bot makes a pull request, and the user (who may be someone else at some point) doesn’t respond with exactly what the prompt wants, what happens? What happens when Claude Code updates, or has an outage? Don’t change that GitHub action at the end’s name without remembering to update the prompt as well.

Ah, I see. GitHub reached out to Daniel saying “hey we’re actually doing that” not because it was a reaction to the post.

This appears to have prompted GitHub to warn on ambiguous Unicode characters in diffs like other source control programs (namely Gitea from the article) already do. Love it.

I’d argue this could be true but it heavily depends on the type of monarchism a state has, how nationalist its peoples are, how militant the state is, and if there’s a strict order to society that is trying to be imposed.

Obviously, being a proto-fascist state, it wouldn’t need to have all of these at once and not to the extent they would be if the state was fascist but if enough of these indicators appeared to exist, I think you could make an argument in favor.

Thanks! I said in the posts something about the editing expressed the feeling of the aurora, which I had never witnessed before, and which was quite strong for how far south it was.
