@barney Whatever nonsense you gotta tell yourself. If you arent smart enough to understand the "logic" and arent mature enough to ask and try to understand, then sadly **you** are the one who is the problem here.

Generally when a successful published COVID scientist says something (easily confirmed with the internet today) then you at least try to understand it first, something you are clearly not mature enough to understand, so instead you resort to name calling.

So im gonna start a website from scratch.. it will need some sort of database,not just static site... Im considering trying a new language and techs.... Im looking for suggestions, convince me!

For some background the site will be similar to https://aprs.fi in nature. There is an already written client that is in ruby that will talk to it through an API.

@dannotdaniel

If your going to be responsible and wear it correctly and throw it away (or disinfect it) after a few hours.. then the deaf issue aside you are probably helping with disease. Im not against that.

My issue here is wearing a mask all day at a job isnt good since it is harmful to deaf customers and the procedures for masks require you to only use one for a few hours max, and since they are probably touching their mask all day long too they probably arent helping much anyway

Basically I have nothing against proper mask use, but be aware of the nuance here with deaf people and the effects of dirty masks.

@luckytran

It amazes me this moron managed to get the exact opposite out of what I said, and now im a pro-republican in hiding... these people have lost their fucking mind.

@barney LOL typical... I am literally a research scientist who spent the last 2 years researching COVID... god your a fucking moron with this shit

I never said masks dont prevent disease transmission, in fact, I made it quite clear that when handled properly they absolutely do.

I see you totally ignored the immense harm to the deaf masks cause, which was the main point... good job at being a talking head and not even addressing the points raised, excellent job indeed.

@luckytran

Considering the huge amount of harm masks has done to the deaf community, who rely on lip reading, and the excessive nature of mask wearing in general, I have to say I support this.

inb4: Obviously masks serve a purpose, particularly in a medical setting. But improper mask use (particularly all day use of the same mask and reuse) has the potential to spread disease as well. So even from the perspective of reducing the spread of germs its not a particularly good choice given the down sides IMO.

@mapto

Thanks, I love this feature myself :)

@ClaraListensprechen4 @khird

@tonic Thanks

@gnusuario@mstdn.es

No sorry that wont help... You loose quite a few followers when you migrate away to a lot of servers. It has to do with the fact that QOTO has an exceptionally large federation footprint that few other servers share. So often users expiernce a big loss when they move.

@petergleick

Sooo... people with diseases or other increased risk-factor for an early death are more like to vote republican?

@collin I've been writing one on and off for years... I love them!

@Amikke yea im starting to lean towards silences until I find a better solution.

@LouisIngenthron Awesome, good job man.
