@crowdotblack It seems some countries have already declared it endemic, and that there is a lot of debate in general about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endemic_COVID-19
↺ 0 ☆ 0 -
@crowdotblack seems like this is the definition of endemic not living up to the reality that COVID is never going to behave exactly like the flu with its more predictable annual variants?
Pandemic implies to me that eventually all this will end and things will go back to "normal", but I see no reason to believe that anyone will ever take action to make that a reality.
Where we are now, with most people knowing they should mask up but many choosing not to, is where we we likely be forever.

Whenever I hear about Musk losing 200 billion dollars I remind myself that there are people in the world who could simply end global hunger outright, on a whim, people who would be revered as our highest saints until the end of human history, who just decide they can't be bothered to do that, and that's why we need a wealth tax.

@crowdotblack neat! something about the design and sound of the jaw harp as I’ve heard it used before just always had me assuming it was more of a country music thing. Should have probably looked at Wikipedia, I guess
↺ 0 ☆ 0 -
↺Tboostedcrowdotblack
@tekniklr in short, throat singing comes from Tuva, Tuvans also play the jaw harp. In a way it’s similar to throat singing, you use the shape of the mouth to modify the harmonics of the harp. This harmonic modification of the sound also exists in the didgeridoo
↺ 1 ☆ 1 -
Here’s an example that only has throat singing for like the first five seconds but then breaks into the most electronic jaw harp medley you’ve ever heard
↺ 0 ☆ 0 -
Recently I’ve been getting into electronic music with throat singing after hearing some I dug in Jedi Fallen Order and for some reason there are a lot of jaw harps involved in a lot of it?
I get this is probably just a weird trope of the genre now, but howmstever did this weird convergence originate, I wonder

@tekniklr Also, turn on Two-Factor Authentication and Account Recovery. You can set a recovery key and Recovery Contact that will let you get access back. Sadly, both of those can be turned off with just device PIN, but at least until an attacker thinks of using those, they can be a way to get access back.

crime, theft, apple
A possible workaround until Apple does the bare minimum and requires the existing iCloud password before changing it (or in case they never do this), is to disallow account changes via Screen Time.

crime, theft, apple
So a new thing I've heard about a few times in the past few weeks is someone getting mugged for their iPhone, and the thief demands their passcode. With just a passcode, you can change the password for an iCloud account (Settings -> iCloud), thus locking out the owner (possibly permanently) and getting (and keeping the owner from getting) all iCloud data.

It’s astounding to me that the default “For You” timeline on Twitter is as bad as it is, and that’s how most people there experience it. I just did a random sampling of 30 tweets in a row:

@ehurtley I think I answered something like the amount of time it took me to turn on credit lock for each of the bureaus, which I don't think was much, but then again that happened like 5 years before I answered the questionnaire which I already established I barely remember, so 5 years before that is right out.
↺ 0 ☆ 1 -
@ehurtley oh, that IS weird. I filed so long ago I don't even remember much of the questionnaire, but I think it asked about how much time you spent locking things down after the breach? And maybe offered some non-monetary compensation like an Identity Theft Prevention subscription? And I have no recollection of what my choices/answers were, but we must have answered 10x differently?
