Meanwhile, in Murrica: "The seven-day average of new cases has climbed above 56,000, a level not seen in the past 12 weeks, and is 14% higher week over week, according to John Hopkins data." https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/19/health/us-coronavirus-monday/index.html

@scribus Majority infection will be the eventual outcome, slower or quicker.
There are two ways to beat a virus: you either completely isolate every infected individual and anyone who is physically capable of contracting it for at least twice the lifespan of the virus, and I'm talking full lockdown, napalmed when opening the door; or you wait until almost the entire population has been infected and developed herd immunity, at which point new infections become very rare if the virus survives at all to mutate over following years.
Full lockdown wasn't done in time and in any case it is impossible considering the social paradigms of any western country, so the option that remains is the latter. Containment can only be reasonably used to slow spread to a rate to which the health system can handle it, but won't stop the spread, no matter how much a government insists on it. And it also vastly increases the number of deaths from existing conditions untreated due to lockdown.

@mangeurdenuage @icedquinn @coolboymew No, but there's stuff to implement.

@celesteh @kyzh Items a pity I can't write you this message I just wrote to you. -
@mur2501 @doubleplusgood Rarely such policies are written in such a way that they bar from immigration people like Alexei Navalny.

@clacke @matt Speaking of Russian and Chinese, in Russian the expression is "китайская грамота", i.e. "Chinese writing".

@devurandom MS-DOS was initially a clone of CP/M.
CP/M got renamed as DR-DOS.
Microsoft then made Windows break under DR-DOS. -

@mangeurdenuage "Wait, English speakers know what smetana is? Ah, no, never mind."
It's sour cream, for the record. -

@lanodan GLib has a wrapper for malloc that crashes the programme out when encountering NULL, so you won't see any undefined behaviour from GNOME.
-
@mangeurdenuage No, that you having subscription to the other profile should've given it priority, I think.
-
@mangeurdenuage @hakui @deadheat I know. That was some clarification about why you don't have it.
-
@xerz I guess you could argue that the Android build with tiles that looks like an ugly parody on Windows 8 is what makes up the price of it.
-
@deadheat @hakui @mangeurdenuage GNU social also has a dropdown menu like that, but it requires JavaScript.

@mangeurdenuage When unsubscribing?
-
@mangeurdenuage I don't really know how the selection is made when there's no context like a reply. Subscription should've done the trick…

@xerz It was. Compare to Huawei Ascend Y300, a device with very similar internals, a year older and a sturdier design.

@vegos I don't see that, so very unlikely.
What pages does this occur on? Your main timeline? -
@devurandom Probably with a lot more Catholic churches, but that's just a guess.
-
@mangeurdenuage Right :-).
This time it's back on @pztrn's resources, he feels confident about hosting it again. -

@clacke The metric system is an overwhelming majority world-wide though.
IPv6 will inevitably be too, it's just a matter of time. Unless something supersedes it before that (unlikely) or Internet becomes unnecessary for some reason.
