@jordinn Yeah but probably for most of them the cough is 'just' Long Covid so they're not infectious.
Hope this helps! ;-)
It’s amazing how businesses want to run on data, but when presented with the successfulness of a 4-day work week, that’s not the data they want
I've advocated for this for a long time, and it's good to see some progress on this front.
If you use much more electricity than others connected to the same grid, then you have to pay more than the others - not only, but your electricity usage is likely to be throttled to prevent starving off other users of the grid.
Similarly, if most of the content that travels on optical fibers comes from your servers, then you have to pay a premium for the share of bandwidth that you're taking away from other users.
A more sustainable and scalable Internet needs to raise awareness on the hidden costs of moving data from A to B. Big Tech can't get away with pushing more and heavier content to users assuming that the distribution network has unlimited resources.
There's something functionally and morally wrong with having simple mobile app that weigh 100 MB (as much as the whole core of Windows 95 used to weigh). Or ads that start playing videos without any user input. Or webpages that do 20 different requests to data brokers, analytics providers and ads platforms for one simple original page request. Or JS projects with a 300 MB node_modules folder created even if the project is just empty. Or simple text shared on social media as images, making the difference between a few bytes and something within the range of 100 KB - 10 MB.
Forcing people to pay for pushing this crap down a wire, or wasting the limited space on people's devices, is really the step zero to achieve anything that resembles sustainability on the Internet.
Here's a fun thing:

At last night's #Python tutorial, some code was presented which had been part?largely created by GPT.
The person was unable to walk-through the code to explain it to colleagues.
It used enums which the trainee couldn't figure-out.
It implemented an FSM to read an XML file, line-by-line, tag-by-tag.
The coder was incapable of correcting or extending the code.
The code basically worked.
The UX was terrible.
Is this 'the way of the future'?
@Meyerweb Not all hdmi cables are equal. Try a more expensive cable?
@xurizaemon Still pretty rough, lots of basic features not there yet, e.g. muting, notifications. But the UI loads waaay faster than Mastodon and it shows a lot of promise.
Today they implemented following imports so I've imported a few hundred follows in order to see how it handles more content flowing through it...
GoDaddy says it suffered a breach where unknown attackers have stolen source code and installed malware on its servers after breaching its cPanel shared hosting environment in a multi-year attack.
The company says that previous breaches disclosed in November 2021 and March 2020 are also linked to this multi-year campaign.
GoDaddy also found evidence linking the threat actors to a broader campaign targeting other hosting companies worldwide over the years.

Fairly impressed with missing.style/ (from the makers of htmx and _hyperscript). If, like me, you enjoy somewhat dull-looking websites and hate CSS, it might just be for you.
@J12t You can follow hashtags, you are not limited to following individuals.
Did you know you could use Mastodon as a comment platforms on your blog? I blogged about this 2 years ago https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/adding-comments-to-your-static-blog-with-mastodon/ but since there has been a lot of newcomers recently, it might be a good idea to share it again 😜
