More of the COVID skeptics starting to cover their tracks.
RT @NeilDotObrien@twitter.com
Another top covid-sceptic, Dr Clare Craig, has deleted all her tweets from last year.
Unfortunately for her attempts to cover her tracks... Google cached them, so we can take a look at how sheโs used her professional qualifications to spread dangerous disinformation.

Ever wanted to just dip into the #QEMU source tree but couldn't be bothered to clone the repo? Fear not we can help with a freshly indexed state of the repo thanks to #global: https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/src/

Are we surprised that unqualified people who confidently expressed we were over the worst of it after summer are now covering their tracks?

As the UK tragically hits a record number of Covid-19 deaths, Covid-sceptic-in-chief @toadmeister@twitter.com appears to have deleted all his tweets from last year.
That's not surprising. Here are some of the things he claimed over the last year - a thread.

All of Parler's User Data Is Being Hacked
Apparently, the way Parler was designed for its "lost password" flow was that once their authentication provider failed to actually handle the "click this link in this email to reset your password", Parler displays the "reset page" anyway, so users just used it on administrator accounts, then created tons of fake administrator accounts, & then used those account privileges to scrape all user data. Also "deletion" was just a bit-flip and posts werent actually deleted

I have been watching engineers confidently predict migration timelines and then blowing past them to like 10x the original estimate for 20+ years now but sure I bet Parler, who can't get their captcha to work properly, have sorted this out.

Good thread on the questions raised by the recent dropping of Parler by hosting and app stores. On Android I also use F-Droid for apps although it's store only has FLOSS apps on its.
RT @doctorow@twitter.com
As Parler disappears from the Android and Ios app stores and faces being kicked off of Amazon's (and other) clouds, people who worry about monopolized corporate control over speech are divided over What It Means.

It looks like the flight from Twitter is in full effect. Single companies are susceptible to hosting changes as some are finding out so I expect the fediverse will see some influx. Hopefully most of them will stick to the walled off section with the rest of the edge lords and freeze peach advocates.

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "itโs no different to a bad flu season!"
Iโve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.
Hereโs how Englandโs Covid winter compares to a bad flu season ๐น

Is it worth rebinding C-SPC in #emacs to be a leader key for my common editing commands and accept C-SPC SPC for set-mark (or rather my hacked up version of it)?
