You wanna know what's even worse for a pandemic than not wearing masks? Turning it into a political problem.

Dear everyone, don't use #gmail. They don't play nice with other email providers: I've been unable to send anything to a gmail address in the last week, and there's seemingly nothing I or the would-be recipient can do to remedy this situation.

I like binary search trees

They're a real brain-fuck at first but once you understand how to traverse them and stuff they're pretty cool

@herag I use it with unit scaling. My fvwmrc has normal window commands (move resize iconify close etc.) in the root menu so you don't have to touch the controls precisely if you don't want to. On the menus you can just "roll" your thumb and the different selections get highlighted.
I also make XVKBD sticky and without a title bar like the iconbox.
Most X11 things really function very well with unit scaling. The only thing you really miss is mouse buttons 2/3 (so no quick selection buffer pasting etc.)

It's really bad.

>"Our findings provide evidence of the spike protein hijacking the DNA damage repair machinery and adaptive immune machinery in vitro."

>"Although no evidence has been published that SARS–CoV–2 can infect thymocytes or bone marrow lymphoid cells, our in vitro V(D)J reporter assay shows that the spike protein intensely impeded V(D)J recombination."

> “We found that the spike protein markedly inhibited both BRCA1 and 53BP1 foci formation (Figure 3D–G). Together, these data show that the SARS–CoV–2 full–length spike protein inhibits DNA damage repair by hindering DNA repair protein recruitment.”

They are selling their 3-year-old daughters for rice and bread that will only last the remaining family members for a month or two. They are selling their 9-year-old daughters too.

They are selling their very young daughters, not their sons, to fifty-five year old complete strangers, not to relatives. Not even to distant relatives who live several villages or provinces away. These fathers will probably never see their children again; never know whether they were beaten and sorely used as domestics, sold into sex slavery for a profit, or impregnated at nine and dead in childbirth by their tenth birthday.

This is happening right now in Afghanistan where there is neither money nor jobs to be had; where the endemic poverty is as bone-deep as the freezing weather, as dismal as the displacement camps in which such families now live.

The children, whether they are sold, indentured, or allowed to remain with their families, will soon suffer from severe malnutrition. According to the United Nations, “more than half the population is facing severe food insecurity.”

My little group continues to work on evacuations. Miraculously, we now have offers of planes and are filling them to capacity. However, we cannot scoop up every single Afghan female child and spirit her away to an Amazon boot camp/orphanage in order to strengthen her for her new and difficult life. (Not a bad idea but easier dreamt of than done).

The mainstream media has just begun to write about this. CNN and the BBC have stories. They have photos as well of the children about to be sold. I am not linking to them.

For once, I am also not calling for funds for planes, or for legal work, or even for direct expenses for those refugees who are now out of country but are still in a refugee camp or living on a very limited budget in a “stop over” location.

My colleague in the UK, Mandy Sanghera, has been tweeting about this. And now I join her as I call upon OXFAM, the World Food Bank, the Red Cross, the Red Crescent, and the United Nations, to start food drops into Afghanistan. Doctors Without Borders, Magen David Adom, neighboring countries, too.

I call upon our readers to call and write these organizations and urge them to start dropping food packages into Afghanistan before too many people begin dying of hunger, before every last girl child has been sold.

it seems that the idea of being “highly sensitive” has some acceptance in the accredited mental health community. it seems to get conflated with people who think they’re psychic or other new age nonsense, but that’s not what the therapists mean when they say it.

browsing the Norwegian Internet, it’s clear that, as with much of modern psychology, it’s largely women talking about this stuff.

i’ve seen too many ads advertising therapy where the stock image is of a crying woman. i suggest that if you want to advertise to men, you depict a guy with a gun to his head.

anyway, i seem to fit the description, and i suspect my proneness to drinking is due to wanting to numb it. it’s a bit like taking pain killers for being beat over the head with a bat.

What is slack?

Centralised messenger Signal has just announced that they are making part of their server software closed source. They claim it is to fight spam, but by using closed source they make it impossible for outsiders to verify the truth. This is worrying.

We really, really need a fully open, decentralised alternative to Signal.

There are several alternatives being developed, please support them:

➡️ @xmpp

➡️ @matrix
