Activists need to plug "cloud firewall" with a link to mozilla more.. that will help the ranking.

We need a tool to measure the level of humanity and privacy respect search engines have. One of the test cases could be to check the ranking of this page in the results for "Cloud Firewall": addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef

The whole 1st page of search results for "Cloud Firewall" excludes the add-on that blocks tech giants.

is a Firefox add-on that helps users block sites running on assets ( Netflix ) (netflix excluded). CloudFlare just hijacked the name "Cloud Firewall" so when we advise users to get it, they find this: web.archive.org/web/2021012010

My response to friend who buys Facebook advertising:

So you support building a surveillance apparatus that spies on and manipulates your friends and family if it might help you sell a few more plus sized women's panties?

He hasn't talked to me for a little while.🤔

A statistical correlation has been found between people who use the ChinaVirus/ChineseVirus hashtags, and other hashtags that indicate racial hate.

Warning on the latest release by @Tutanota: the #Tutanota app complains that #WebView is out of date (an app that I've never installed). Then it attempts to find it in f-droid but it's not there, so Tutanota terminates. In short, if Tutanota works for you, don't update it or you might run into this #bug.

i thought it was only Trump who got the virus, then despite being vaccinated naturally later got an artificial vaccine anyway. Others are doing that too. I can't quite get my head around why overcoming the real thing is less effective than the shot (which if I understand correctly tries to emulate the coronavirus by modifying a common cold virus)

I'm getting mixed info on the Johnson & Johnson length of time for max strength. Most articles say 2 weeks, but some say the j&j vaccine takes 28 days to reach max efficacy. This one says 28 days: bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-5

Ethical vaccine shoppers: FYI of all the vaccine makers, is the most unethical. In the US, they are members & they finance CEI to push propaganda, they supported , they sponsor , & they are a member (so they spend lobby money to fight labeling). So if you have a choice of vaccine that's may be a factor for you.

I heard that if you get the 1st shot of a 2-shot vaccine, the 2nd shot can be a single-shot variety like . Sounds reasonable. But that's more like a rumor and I'm not finding anything solid on it.

Some vaccine sites are maintaining brand-specific waiting lists, so you can e.g. be on a call list only for Johnson & Johnson, or only for Moderna, if you want. But most don't offer that & no one publishes this. And vaccinefinder.org is not keeping up with the stock availability data. We need some crowd-sourcing on this data.

when I read articles about Coronavirus I can't help but read them in my head in Dr. Fauci's voice. That voice is tied to all things covid

Apparently the border policy doesn't care if travelers have been vaccinated for . It's essential business only, and quarantine required. Why haven't they worked out that proof of vaccination would make someone nearly risk-free, regardless of whether it's essential?

.org is blocking Tor by printing "We’re sorry, the website is temporarily unavailable now. Please try again later" every single attempt, without even the courtesy of saying something like Tor access not allowed. Vaccine info should be public. Someone plz scrape that site & liberate the data from walled gardens

Small drugs stores that have requested vaccines are still waiting, as the state has supplied all the large pharmacy chains. It's the large corps (, ) that are denying vaccine phone scheduling & restricting access to the vaccine to those willing to solve their . The small drug stores wouldn't refuse phone calls. Pressure the state to supply them.

@resist1984 I had to solve a #reCAPTCHA even for getting a COVID test. No way around. Except you use Google Chrome and are logged in. Then of course you don't notice anything.

The hate between reCAPTCHA and me is at least mutual. Usually I have to solve many rounds of recognizing boats, cars, traffic lights, bridges, boats again, ...

This is the problem when the private sector is tasked w/public safety. It's not profitable enough for companies to take appointments over the phone & it's not profitable enough for them to manage spam. There are winners, and there are losers. The winners of vaccine scheduling are losers of digital privacy & freedom. The healthcare losers are winners of digital privacy & freedom.
