This level of ignorance is going to cost many people their health and wellbeing. Half of Americans think they'll never get #COVID19 again. They think this despite the fact most Americans are getting COVID every year or more frequently. New research found that since Omicron took over people are being infected a median of every 192 days.

Every infection raises risks of Long COVID. Every infection can damage hearts, brains, immune systems, reproductive organs and more.

Please enjoy @pluralistic Cory Doctorow's fantastic presentation on taking back the internet from last month at #DEFCON32. Cory's takes are always thoughtful, provocative and it was his deshittification concept that helped inspire the DC32 theme. More videos from #defcon coming soon. As always, pass it on.

With all the Microsoft Recall stuff saturating the Fediverse right now (my feed at least)... It seems a good time to remember that Microsoft has always had form as an unethical organisation with an arrogant culture and poor leadership... I commend to you this detailed (and enjoyable) account of their first decade or so: https://web.archive.org/web/20051013072349/http://www.vanwensveen.nl/rants/microsoft/IhateMS_1.html
