VyrusI'm trying to time my annual leaves with Eris' rise in australia - it looks quiet so far13:12
VyrusI was lucky to spend the entire last 2-3 years fully remote, now they're forcing us all into this damn basement - everyone's always sick. Got covid a few times in a matter of months - manager keeps saying if we keep getting vaccinated every other month we will be safe13:13
Vyruslike - I imagined best of all possible worlds, and I swear it wasn't this one13:14
Vyrusthey literally setup a tent at the workplace, we have workplace nurses that vaccinate people, someone got their ninth dose13:16
ublxmanagers gonna 'manage'13:16
Vyrusback to the office boys, back to the office, shut up about remote work, get vaccinated13:16
Vyrusjesus christ...13:16
ublxvaccine every other month, that's wild13:18
ublxhope you're job hunting13:20
Vyrusthat's exactly what I'm up to xD13:20

yang2_Nothing much has been happening around my area, nobody goes with masks for 1 year now, and eferyone is pretty much healthy13:39
yang2_but yeah 60% or more were vaccinated13:40
Vyruswhere are you13:41
yang2_Slovenia EU13:41
yang2_I checked my vaccine certificate, it shows invalid now, I had 3 shots13:41
yang2_Maybe 3 is not enough to be valid dunno13:41
Vyrusinvalid, lol13:41
yang2_I mean on thej phone, the digital cert13:41
VyrusI think we're not counting, or submitting the positive tests any longer - I don't think weekly case numbers reflect the truth - even in australia. For the first time in my life I got my positive RAT test in recent months, and everyone else in the workplace was starting to mark positive results as well, but the weekly case reports were still about a hundred or something (in the entire state....)13:42
yang2_right, same here13:42
yang2_they are not tresting anymore much13:43
yang2_are there obligatory masks in .au ?13:44
Vyrusno, nobody cares. Manager asks you to come to the office if youre SICK13:44
yang2_ahhh13:45
yang2_i worked all the time during pandemics13:45
Vyrusor recovering from it, but sneezing or something. I confronted one of them, I asked why aren't you working from home- he said the manager asked him to come in to the office13:45
yang2_Some jobs were working all time - doctors, law enforcement, firemen, etc.13:46
yang2_but about 80% were working from home, quarantined13:46
VyrusI hope we don't get a variant as bad as delta or even worse, one of these days. Anything is possible13:46
yang2_"they" will make up something to worry again13:47

Brainstormublx: From www.nature.com: Thousands of scientists are cutting back on Twitter, seeding angst and uncertainty15:58
ublx^ a sort of postmortem on twitter upheavals15:58
ublx^ LjL15:58
LjLTopol will be the last bastion?16:00
LjLI thought I had "reinstated" Twitter by using a public instance of RSS-Bridge by the way (it seemed to work when I tried it briefly!) but... I haven't seen a single tweet, so maybe I haven't16:00
ublxhmm that nitter instance i found working briefly is now once again no more16:01
LjLoh, it worked that one time, but it doesn't work in general, I see16:02
LjLor it doesn't work on lists16:02
ublxworked for a day or two after i noticed it working; doesn't work on anything at all i've tried since16:02
LjLublx, I had long stopped using Nitter for the RSS feeds because every instance had its down times due to being rate limited. RSS Bridge run locally worked much better. It probably still might, but I run it from Debian's repositories and the new version that should support the "new Twitter" certainly isn't in those :P16:03

ublxi only stumbled on it by noticing a news aggregator listing a nitter link, and i thought why are these people posting a nitter link *clicks* oh wow it works16:03
ublxalas not for long16:04
ublxabove article ends with "Professional associations, societies, study groups, research networks, research centres and laboratories have a responsibility to curate and support their own networks"16:04
ublx^ well, libre-extremists would have told them that a decade ago16:04
LjLokay, while lists just don't work, on my username I got "429 Too Many Requests" from https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/ so it's a no go16:04
LjLdo i want to install the latest version in a container, sigh16:05
LjLi'd probably end up 429 myself16:05
LjLtheir rate limits are ridiculous now16:05
ublxi thought you were allergic to container-fu16:05
LjLi am16:05
LjLhence sigh16:06
ublxhow herculean a task would it be to cat-herd every university/institute researcher on earth into subscribing $1 per month for to bootstrap a twitter replacement for the academy?16:07
ublxhow many such researchers are there? would $1/m be enough?16:08

LjL485MB. 485 fucking megabytes for something that takes peanuts as a Debian package16:09
LjLwell i don't seem to be able to get it to work anyway, unless it's working but only on localhost and w3m can't load it16:27
LjLin any case i've pointed the feeds to it in case it does work, now leaving16:27
