yesterday March 15 was #longcovid awareness day.

we're in the 7th year of the ongoing, mass-disabling pandemic (which has already killed tens of millions of people).

symptoms of long covid can last years. there is no treatment available.

repeated infections don't "build immunity", they make it more likely to get long covid. normalizing getting infected hurts everyone.

the virus is still airborne. a tightly-sealed (K)N95 mask/respirator continues to be effective.

talk about it.

@Gargron 💯 languages are usually not 1:1, and translation is impossible to automate without butchering the original meaning. bad translation really sticks out when you understand both languages. even if it's serviceable enough to get the core meaning across, it might fail to capture the tone, the cultural references, and the full weight. i have a lot of respect for people who create good subtitles that try to preserve the original intent, even when it sometimes feels impossible.

> "they scheduled a meeting with me to connect. the meeting was on ms teams. … the meeting said something on my system was out of date. i installed the missing item as i presumed it was something to do with teams, and this was the RAT."

i would add that native apps are simply out of reach for most indie devs and small teams. that is unless they're ok with deliberately locking themselves into a single platform/ecosystem. until progressive web apps become actually viable, building native apps using web tech is the most pragmatic approach. the amount of extra work required to go from a cross-platform pseudo-native app to individual fully-native apps is hard to justify.

@jaffathecake why does opening the 1.3 hint popover close the 1.2 auto popover but opening the 4 hint popover not close the 1.3 hint popover? i would expect the opposite behavior.

@swithinbank i've thought about the home media server too. but i want my music to be available when i'm out and about, and i'm just not going to expose my home network. not until i deeply understand how to make it secure (which just sounds like homework). i also really like the "offline" aspect of a dedicated music player. it's refreshingly old school.

@kizu @swithinbank the scrobbling part was my one hangup with digital audio players, and is primarily why i'm looking at rockbox. https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LastFMLog.html
