"COVID-19 spreads year round. Here’s how to track it."

Tea Burns: "Even when local risk levels may be lower, there’s still good reason to mask up at any event...

"Just because local risk levels may be lower, that doesn’t mean that people don’t get sick. People can still get sick, and it may not even be a SARS-CoV-2 infection, but it could be another respiratory pathogen. Masking up is still, for me, the standard because every time you mask up, every chain of transmission that you break is a life saved either from an immediate death, from an acute COVID-19 infection, or slow death via Long COVID and organized abandonment."

as a DOS veteran, i’m worried this stool might start listing

Abolish Cloudflare.

Hey don't worry! They limit it to $100 / month by default once you go past their limit of free credits.

Their free credits of ONE THOUSAND TIMES the default upper limit.

So once you have a business running, once you've crossed that limit...

I'm sure it'll cost about $100/month on average by then. Yeah! That seems likely!

Cloudflare continues to push the worst shit combination of centralization of the internet and genAI bullshit but congratulations, they've hit a new combo so bad I didn't even consider it possible https://blog.cloudflare.com/agents-stripe-projects/

That's right! Your agents can now provision servers, spend money, and do everything for you!

You don't even need to hand them a credit card!

What's that? Why's that?

Because they've teamed up with Stripe! Why yes, if you've signed up with Stripe Atlas (don't "shrug" this Atlas off, friends!), which is Stripe's "launch a startup for you" company-to-make-companies, they'll give you $100k of FREE credits!!!

That first hit! It's free! Hey!

I bet all the future hits will be too, right? And uh, who will be left holding that bill after you've established this nice dependency?

Vibe coding? That's nothing! Time to go all in on Vibe Founding!

No.

I'm like 80% sure bluesky is mostly bots (evil) and an island of furries actually using the platform.

Compared to Mastodon which is mostly inactive accounts and an island of furries actually using the platform.

So apparently Microsoft VS Code has been quietly adding Co-Authored-By: Copilot attribution to commits.

In case you prefer to use an editor that will never automatically sneak things into your commits, ed(1) is here for you.

It's less that atom/RSS is "dead", and more that its "done".

The protocol is finished. It works well. It's stable and unremarkable as opposed to trendy.

And to capitalists, that's "dead".

Nothing to hype, no wealth to extract.

yaaay possibly human transmitted hantavirus
