Today's #Covid19Cymru figures for the number of deaths over the past 24 hours look very good, but please remember that it's the weekend, and we normally see a dip in Sunday and Monday's figures. That said, the weekly running average is down to 9.1, the lowest since 28th March, so Wales' lockdown is being effective.

Today's #Covid19Cymru figures for deaths (14) are very much in line with expectations, at 14 (for a total of 1238). The average for the last 7 days is now 12, so heading the right direction - though not as fast as we would like.

There is no excuse for this bullshit from mozilla. Whoever thought this was a good idea AND implemented it in code AND shipped it should be one of the first up against the wall when the revolution comes!*
Did no one appreciate that the gemlog would lose his place backscrolling in his timeline on mastodon?
New links go in Falkon until *I* decide how to use my computer. Fuck you very much moz.
*ok, that was a bit over the top, but still...

Yesterday's #Covid19Cymru death figure was low due to the usual weekend late reporting. Of today's figure of 17, only around half are from the past 24 hours, the others mostly from the day before (according to public.tableau.com/profile/pub).
The averages are still looking very smooth, though we seem to be plateaued at around 13 deaths a day at the moment (and obviously reaching a plateau is not a good thing).

Well the poll has ended with Arch Linux in pole position, Ubuntu as its main rival and Mint as an 'also ran'. Just fun!

Casu Marzu is a type of intentionally rotten cheese eaten in certain regions of italy.

I'm not sure if I'd have the stomach to try it but I guarantee you if i ever do the maggots are going to be removed first...

Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed, diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping. Some who eat the cheese prefer not to ingest the maggots. Those who do not wish to eat them place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten.

Thank god for the Patriot Act and its additions. Before I had very little faith and trust in our gov't, and now I have 0. That makes things easier. Thanks!

There is a slight possibility i may have bought too much fruit for a single male living by himself...

Which version of Linux do you use (as default) on your PC and/or laptop? (I fear QOTO seems to be limited to four options when it comes to votes.)

Today there are just 10 recorded deaths for #Covid19Cymru, which supports what I said yesterday regarding the weekend correction that I expected. We should be now back to a "normal" figure. And if this is normal, it's really very good - lower than expected, but not totally out of line.
This figure is still too high to consider significant easing of restrictions, though (Welsh govt is correct here). 1/2

Steven Hawkings could write at a maximum speed of about 15 words per minute (he averaged considerably less). Yet he wrote entire books and introduced revolutionary theories.

Whats your excuse?
