The Register wrote a story about a single maintainer open source project, I think it's shameful and upsetting. So I wrote a blog post about it
An absolutely ridiculous amount of open source is one person projects. I have the data to prove it

The Register recently published a story titled Putin on the code: DoD reportedly relies on utility written by Russian dev. They should be ashamed of this story. This poor open source developer is getting beat up now to score some internet points. It’s very upsetting. But anyway, let’s look at some receipts. If you’re not real smrt, it seems like pointing out an open source project is written by one person in a country you don’t like is a bad thing. It could be. But it also could be the software running THE WHOLE F*CKING PLANET is written by one person. In a country. But we have no idea which country. It’s not the same person mind you, but it’s one person.
Okey dokey, the new COVID vaccine restrictions suck, & you can only get one if you have a condition that makes you high risk.
Here's the CDC's own list of conditions that meet that definition, and will let you get a shot if you want it.
Let's note the most common ones:
Asthma
Any mood disorder, from depression to anxiety to serious stuff like schizophrenia. If you are now or have ever been on antidepressants or antianxiety meds, you should have a pretty solid case you can make.
You have a BMI of 30+ (disclaimer: BMI is a racist, eugenicist measure, but if it lets you get a vaccine that could save your life or long-term health, go ahead and use it this time).
And here's the important one:
**You are physically inactive**. Most Americans who work office jobs can make the case that they live a sedentary life to a doctor. That can get you a shot.
So yeah. Talk to your PCP, or just go to the pharmacy when these shots become available, find your loophole condition, and protect yourself. COVID is solidly on the rise again.
I don't want a trip to the hospital. I'll be getting my shot. You should too.
Oh, and get your flu shot while you're at it! The flu still kills 20-30,000 people a year in the US alone!
