@kino yeah, it's nitpicking :)

@kino i'm not sure if i'd take sinovac, but likely the cuban one(s). the cuban medical program is widely accepted as good science and they are a small enough country to not fuck that one up because there is something at stake for them.

i won't get neither _here_ though.

i'm an "antivaxxer" now, despite having ~10 different classic vaccinations.

i don't want to take a vaccine which is a new technology that hasn't been tested enough as there simply wasn't enough time. you can tell me that all the tests have been done, but you can't accelerate time to test for long term effects. we don't know half of the things really going on in cells, only in june there was discovered that there is a polymerase transcribing from RNA to DNA [1]. it may not be relevant for the mRNA vaccines because it seems to require a certain primer sequence, but one of the "nothing can happen" arguments was that "RNA-to-DNA isn't possible.

i'm fine to wear the masks in public. they of course help, even if the virus is smaller than the filter because they are so small that things like van der waals force are relevant. i'd probably be fine with a classic vaccine. those will never be available here though.

the people having the guts to call me "antivaxxer" now are the same people who couldn't wait to have parties, travel all around the country for christmas and to go on vacations. while i stayed at home nearly all of the time. the simplest measure of "not going anywhere if not required" was too much. now _i'm_ magically the asshole for not wanting to undergo a medical procedure which _i_, to a large certainty, don't need and which doesn't even seem to prevent that i unknowingly spread covid.

@thor i remembered now that i've had Aass fatøl in norway. the others were really leftovers from sweden :)

beer mystery solved!

@bonifartius my reasoning for the avoidance is that with sass etc. i have another layer i need to do accounting for in my head :)

@freemo i don't use the transpiling stuff, maybe some templating. my stuff isn't fancy though, i just want a clean look for classic web pages :)

@freemo i think css has really improved over time.. it now more often does what i want ;)

@thor isn't it nice how everything feels like a conspiracy in these times :D i sometimes feel as if i LARP as dale gribble.

it sure is remarkable that letsencrypt is all of a sudden a great idea while CACert was shunned by browsers. that it's free doesn't make it less suspicious :)

@zpartacoos i've never been in a meeting that couldn't have been solved better with mail correspondece. the only problem is that people can't quote correctly anymore. reading a mail thread where people do it right is really nice and efficient.

@rgegriff i've never had the pocket chip, only the plain board. ended up in my electronics drawer before getting sold for postage :) interesting that they still are used

@rgegriff the c.h.i.p. thingy?

@johanbove well.. why isn't the RKI just a CA which generates signing certificates for pharmacies/doctors/...? that the RKI server is down would not be a problem then..

you can't collect all the sweet data then, of course 🤗

@jrballesteros05
