| LjL | it's not COVID-related, but here's a bit of medical good news... https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/i-never-saw-stars-before-gene-therapy-brings-back-8-year-old-canadian-boy-s-sight-1.5145830 | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| IndoAnon | wkwk | 00:02 |
| LjL | only slightly expensive cure | 00:04 |
| Jigsy | So it turns out the UK won't be vaccinating people when the vaccine exists. | 00:07 |
| Jigsy | Giving people a placebo worked out cheaper for them. :P | 00:07 |
| LjL | Jigsy, hmm? | 00:23 |
| Jigsy | (It's a joke. :P) | 00:27 |
| Jigsy | Albeit a cynical one. | 00:27 |
| Jigsy | That said, it took them months to get a tracing app together. | 00:28 |
| Jigsy | So I doubt they've even planned for a vaccine. | 00:28 |
| LjL | Jigsy, well AstraZeneca ~is Oxford! | 00:28 |
| LjL | Jigsy, also to be fair it's not so much it took them months to get a tracing app together. it took them months to abandon their plans to have an independent app and finally accept that they couldn't without Apple's approval (and Google's, but mainly Apple's) so they switched to their system instead | 00:29 |
| LjL | other countries reached that conclusion faster, but i feel a bit ambivalent about that | 00:29 |
| LjL | it's good to have a uniform system but the power Google and Apple had the opportunity to showcase makes me uneasy | 00:30 |
| dTal | yes that was frightening | 00:32 |
| dTal | in this instance it was a force for good but it shows how much control Google and Apple weild | 00:33 |
| dTal | imagine if the framework hadn't been so privacy-respecting | 00:33 |
| LjL | dTal, which it isn't, really, at least from Google's side | 00:33 |
| dTal | *global* turnkey totalitarianism, right there | 00:33 |
| LjL | you want that framework? then you get the entirety of the Google Play Services | 00:33 |
| LjL | which are everything but privacy-respecting, they follow your every move | 00:33 |
| LjL | they even determine if you're on foot, on a bus or on a car by looking at the accelerometer patterns | 00:34 |
| dTal | true | 00:34 |
| dTal | very true | 00:34 |
| dTal | the contact tracing part is fine, but it comes with some extremely invasive baggae | 00:34 |
| LjL | it doesn't really matter if this particular thing of exposure notifications *is* really privacy-preserving, which i bet it is because they wouldn't want to lose face on it | 00:34 |
| dTal | ...baggage | 00:34 |
| LjL | FYI microG implements it (partly thanks to Google, who published most of the source code after all) | 00:34 |
| LjL | so i have my app running, yet without any of the Google stuff | 00:34 |
| dTal | hm I should probably get that going on my phone | 00:35 |
| LjL | i would prefer if the app itself was compiled from source and from F-Droid, but maybe in time | 00:35 |
| dTal | but for that I need to root it | 00:35 |
| Brainstorm | New from r/WorldNews: worldnews: London anti-lockdown protests: Thousands of anti-vaxxers march through capital on day one of Tier 2 → https://is.gd/UKXfYa | 00:35 |
| LjL | dTal, you need to unlock the bootloader, not necessarily root it, technically! | 00:35 |
| LjL | okay i know that's part of what most people mean by "rooting" | 00:35 |
| dTal | no, I meant actual rooting | 00:36 |
| LjL | locked phone? | 00:36 |
| dTal | it's not like there's third party roms for my phone | 00:36 |
| LjL | oh gee | 00:36 |
| dTal | Cosmo Communicator | 00:36 |
| LjL | that rings a bell...? | 00:36 |
| dTal | fabulous keyboard, shitty everything else | 00:36 |
| LjL | oh right | 00:36 |
| LjL | the newer Germini | 00:36 |
| LjL | Gemini even | 00:36 |
| dTal | indeed | 00:37 |
| dTal | heh, freudian slip? | 00:37 |
| LjL | just too used to typing some words ;( | 00:37 |
| LjL | i learned to touchtype after learning to play piano | 00:37 |
| LjL | so i don't even always hit the same key with the same finger | 00:37 |
| LjL | each word kind of has its own way of being typed | 00:37 |
| LjL | which is susceptible to mistakes when you type something repeatedly | 00:38 |
| dTal | heh, interesting, never heard of that problem before | 00:38 |
| LjL | dTal, http://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo it supports phone calls and SMS! | 00:39 |
| LjL | that's all a phone does, right? | 00:39 |
| dTal | hah | 00:39 |
| dTal | not sure if serious | 00:39 |
| LjL | dTal, but then i unlearned piano so that's cool ;( | 00:39 |
| LjL | dTal, no not serious, obviously i know there's also Snake and polyphonic ringtones at play | 00:39 |
| dTal | not to mention, oh I dunno, contact tracing frameworks | 00:41 |
| LjL | oh right | 00:42 |
| LjL | sometimes i lose track of the main goal | 00:42 |
| LjL | it's easy to be mesmerized by that Psion keyboard | 00:42 |
| dTal | yeah | 00:43 |
| dTal | it's great, to be fair, when it works | 00:43 |
| dTal | almost worth the shittiness of everything else | 00:43 |
| dTal | I will hate to go back to a fondleslab after this inevitably breaks | 00:44 |
| LjL | well when i need a Psion i have a real Psion! | 00:44 |
| LjL | actually i only have an Ericsson MC218 | 00:44 |
| LjL | or three | 00:44 |
| dTal | I bought two broken psions on ebay this week | 00:44 |
| LjL | so | 00:44 |
| LjL | it was YOU | 00:44 |
| LjL | i was outbid on one | 00:44 |
| de-facto | what a neat device, how are those MediaTek Helio chipsets on battery? | 00:44 |
| LjL | (nah not really, mine wasn't broken) | 00:44 |
| dTal | no it was a single lot of 2 | 00:45 |
| LjL | (but i was outbid) | 00:45 |
| LjL | dTal, did they make for one working one? | 00:45 |
| dTal | nope, LCD problems on both | 00:45 |
| LjL | boo | 00:45 |
| dTal | but my plan is to yank out a keyboard and make a crazy e-ink laptop | 00:45 |
| LjL | dTal, did you know that while the Psion 5mx Pro, with 24MB of RAM, is mostly available from Germany, it loads EPOC32 from a "boot" CF and there exists an English version you can put on it? | 00:45 |
| dTal | I didn't | 00:46 |
| dTal | I'm not really a Psion fanboyu | 00:46 |
| dTal | though I could get into it I guess | 00:46 |
| dTal | they're a bit bulky | 00:46 |
| LjL | well now you know, imagine how many spreadsheets you can embed into word documents with 24MB | 00:46 |
| LjL | you're a bit bulky | 00:46 |
| dTal | heh. I want something like a psion, but with Linux and E-ink | 00:47 |
| dTal | so I'm gonna make one | 00:47 |
| dTal | and it'll be awesome you'll all be jealous | 00:47 |
| LjL | dTal, i can get you in contact with someone who also always wants unattainable niche things so that you can make just the thing that falls short of at least 0.5 necessary criteria for him | 00:47 |
| LjL | but he does have a 3D printer | 00:47 |
| dTal | I have about a dozen | 00:48 |
| LjL | okay you win! | 00:48 |
| dTal | but sure | 00:48 |
| dTal | well, *I* don't, but work does | 00:48 |
| dTal | but sure, introduce me to my partner in crime | 00:48 |
| LjL | i have a... printer | 00:48 |

| metreo1 | China is an interesting absentee | 23:27 |
| LjL | anyone living in Alaska who somehow didn't have their cellphones ring very loudly | 23:28 |
| LjL | there is a tsunami warning | 23:28 |
| LjL | if you are near the coast, make sure that stops being the case | 23:28 |
| bin_bashtober | which part of the coast | 23:28 |
| metreo1 | south | 23:29 |
| LjL | https://tsunami.gov/ | 23:29 |
| bin_bashtober | thx | 23:29 |
| bin_bashtober | i dont think i know anyone in that area | 23:29 |
| metreo1 | There don't seem to be any good webcams | 23:33 |

| LjL | i haven't checked them | 23:38 |
| metreo1 | None pointing to the ocean I don't think | 23:39 |
| LjL | also i thought Brainstorm sent strong earthquake notices to this channel but evidently not | 23:39 |
| metreo1 | That was a tsunami notice | 23:39 |
| LjL | metreo1, tsunamis don't happen without earthquakes, except in extreme cases | 23:40 |
| LjL | and there was indeed a M7.5 | 23:40 |
| LjL | followed by a M5+ aftershock | 23:40 |
| metreo1 | big one | 23:40 |
| metreo1 | very close to the coastline | 23:41 |
| metreo1 | no cameras pointing in the right direction | 23:41 |
| LjL | yeah the tsunami warning may not give people very much time... although, it's "just" a warning (not a "threat" which is worse), it means they are still evaluating whether there will be any significant tsunami at all | 23:41 |
| metreo1 | can never be certain until the swell forms | 23:42 |
| LjL | i'd expect a very modest tsunami, but who knows | 23:42 |
