Everything old, is new again.

Now the other manufacturers just need to do the same.

TL;DR? “More than 13.5 billion doses of Covid vaccines have been administered globally over the past three years, saving over 1 million lives in Europe alone. Still, a small proportion of people immunized were injured by the shots, stoking debate about their benefits versus harms.”

The article is light on the actual numbers of the 13 rare health conditions that were the focus of the study, but mention is made of 240 patients with “exercise intolerance, excessive fatigue, numbness and “brain fog” out of a study sample size of 99M.

I leave you to draw your own conclusions.

‘s a long read. Here’s the intro blurb:

An investigative data journalist and a former tech lawyer teach you how to spot tricks and hidden disclosures within these interminable documents—and even how to claw back some privacy By Jon Keegan and Jesse Woo

Gonna dive in and see what nuggets of wisdom they offer.

Article didn’t actually say how the opt out process will work, just gave a buncha supposed Bard quotes on the subject.

I’m sure it’ll be fiiiiiine. /s

Oh, but Bard’ll give you plenty of chances to opt out.

Whether Sundar Pichai honors that is another matter entirely.

Holeeeshit! All that from an accelerometer?

Yes. The magnets are ridiculously strong. Several hold screen in place on my heat exchanger, to keep leaves and lawn debris at bay.

Haven’t figured out a good use for the platters, but skeet shooting has crossed my mind.

The lifetime license is definitely declining in value.

In your case prevention of DDOS via VPN guides your decisions and legit VPN users are collateral damage.

I understand your position, and as you say, no data is sold, so no real harm.

Perhaps banks are the same way.

But out of the ones I have to deal with, only one makes me drop the VPN for access. /smh

Seeing “security companies” tagging VPN IP blocks as sus, is becoming all too common; just like ad blockers are being banned.

They wanna know who you are, where you’ve been, what you’re doing and how you’re doing it…AT.ALL.TIMES.dammit!

It’s about time. The air between Midland and Odessa, TX has been filled with fracking stench for years now and the flaring is right up on top of the interstate.

Thanks for the info, may look into it further.

The subscription model is a wee bit off putting. I employ old hardware and don’t wish to be frog marched into an update/grade that could break that.

Have seen it happen before, been in IT too fucking long not to.

I pay $15/mo and w/ rollover gigs always have plenty. If you’re looking for obscure or D/C’d content, it’s damn well worth it.

Was able to score a Nordic comedy series for a co-worker that couldn’t be found elsewhere.

Also, content you sideload from USENET doesn’t disappear at the whim of a corporation, or due to licensing shenanigans. Just sayin’.

Paid services have consolidated to a great degree. But I’ve been a long time Easynews subscriber.

They have decent retention, good completion, and are johnny-on-the-spot re. DMCA requests.

Their real claim to fame is an easy to use browser based front end, so no third party client hassles and it works on mobile.

That said, MUCH has changed since the 90s, i.e. encrypted posts, the USENET hierarchy is largely broken and good luck finding any current text discussion (looking at you, Adobe, ya skeevy fucks).

Should you want more, this is a good guide. https://www.cogipas.com/how-to-use-usenet/
