I'm glad I never bought an #airFryer.. just pulled a working one out of the trash, which apparently someone tossed because it reached a level of dirtyness. It seems the scam with air fryers is that consumers are forced to treat them as disposable.

Anyone own an air fryer? Is it accurate to say that these things need to be fully disassembled in order to remove the heating element just to clean around it? Is it also accurate that they are not designed to be taken apart.. that people just throw them away when they get too dirty?

just *one* webpage becomes non-responsive in #UngoogledChromium, and a pop-up appears offering to kill all 20+ tabs, or none. WTF, is #Chromium really the most popular browser from one of the top 20 biggest tech companies in the world, which claims to have truly "sandboxed" each tab in isolation?

Everytime I see #liberaChat spam on #Freenode, I delay signing up. I will not sign into Libera until I go a week without spam. And even thereafter, it won't be a move. it'll just be another network in parallel.

@floppy @kev if #Keybase dies, it will be a good thing. https://lemmy.ml/post/31190

@kev @swansinflight It is shocking swansinflight, but it's getting less shocking to me now that I've started to realize that there is a class of utilitarian users who care about their own short-term immediate privacy but their tunnel vision neglects the big picture of other ethical aspects & neglects the privacy of others. These same users use #DuckDuckGo, #Signal, etc, despite damning ethical issues.

@swansinflight @kev That #Brave swindle is the same scam #Yelp was caught doing: https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=_tIYrjBEczE

@tagomago i don't think i've encountered the captcha myself, just saw the issue ticket. You might want to try using #Electronmail to reach your protonmail box, if you aren't already

@Zettour https://www.healthline.com/health/adult-vaccines/johnson-and-johnson-vaccine-efficacy

@Zettour the J&J vaccine has an efficacy of 66.3 percent in avoiding "mild to moderate" symptoms. That means there is at least a 33.7% chance of getting infected despite the vaccine.

@Zettour Again, you don't know what you're reading. That's the rate that a vaccinated person avoids becoming infected themselves, not a measure of transmission to others. Also note that it's and "effectiveness" rate, not an "efficacy". The efficacy of the same outcome is lower.

@Zettour Influencing someone else to fight something doesn't follow from the meaning of cowardice, nor is the analogy relevant. When Alice wears a mask to protect Bob, Alice burdens herself with unpleasantries, which is not the same as coercing a child to wear protective gear before skateboarding, for example.

@Zettour You also misunderstand what "coward" means. It's "one who is not brave enough to fight or do something difficult/dangerous/unpleasant that they should do". So you've got two things wrong here. Mask wearing is the unpleasant action to fight the virus, which means the cowardice is on those /not/ wearing the mask. It's also your action, not the action of others.

@Zettour You don't know what you're reading. That article doesn't say what you think it does. It covers studies on infection probability "among the vaccinated" (which means from a vaccinated person to another vaccinated person). It does not cover transmission rate from a vaccinated person to an unvaccinated person.

@Zettour Although we know Zettour called fractalman237 (who said the mask was to protect others) "cowardly", there are some non-obvious reasons to mask-up: to avoid facial recognition systems in the cities as mass surveillance becomes more rampant. The mask wearing trend is good for defeating facial rec thus good for privacy.
