Firefox has begun the AI enshitification process

Dude, it’s like five things – one of which is just translations that can be performed locally, and another of which is an alt text accessibility option – with an obvious universal kill switch (and of course individualized ones). Calm your tits. Chill your balls. I don’t use LLMs at all except for translations, and I still think the whinging over this is completely overblown.

“Begun” implies a slippery slope of much more, and that just doesn’t seem to be the case.

The fact she was on the ship is by its self a reason to test for it

Did you even read the full quote? By the time her tests were back in 24 hours, she probably would’ve been on death’s door had she still been on the ship. They clearly got her hospital care as soon as they landed, and I seriously doubt they were sending her home.

I’m sorry, but the fact you’re calling it “Hanta Virus” tells me I should trust the doctors/epidemiologists and Spain’s health minister more than I trust some rando on the Internet spitballing “well they should’ve just done [thing]!!” Her condition began deteriorating literally on the evacuation plane, and she seemingly got care basically as soon as possible.

I’m anxious you decided to take the out-of-context headline of an article you didn’t read and run with it:

“They were not thinking that these symptoms were compatible with hantavirus. Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” [Spanish health minister] Padilla said.

[Padilla] said the woman, who had been travelling on the ship at the centre of a deadly hantavirus outbreak, had been suffering flu-like symptoms but they appeared to be getting better and she did not have a fever.

He said that the woman’s condition had deteriorated between the ship and the plane. “It is not that the patient was feeling bad and she was saying: ‘OK, I’m not going to say anything because I want to be on the plane.’ It was like: ‘OK, we have measured your temperature, it was not fever, afterwards you have been on the plane, it has taken off, you have started feeling bad, we have measured your temperature and it was fever.’”

Padilla said passengers could not have been tested onboard the vessel because there were no rapid PCR tests for hantavirus available. Any testing would have involved flying samples to Madrid to a specialist lab, a process that would have taken 24 hours. Those delays would have made it impossible to rescue those on board due to a forecast of extremely high winds from Monday evening, which were due to be “hell” on Tuesday, he said.

? He’s dressed as a yellow supercar. What do you mean?

How is the headline ragebait? Ragebait is the cynical production of content to increase clicks and engagement. The author clearly actually is that passionate about FOSS self-hosting over paid gatekeepers like Plex, and the tone of the article is adequately reflected in the headline.

An opinion author stating a strong opinion in the headline isn’t automatically “ragebait” just because you personally aren’t as passionate. And I say that as someone who isn’t as passionate as the author.

Here’s the study in Minerals. I’ll caution that it’s an MDPI journal, but it’s better than Earth.com’s content mill dogshit.

We’re living in the Porky’s butthole timeline and we’re idealizing circa Gen X conservatives like this?

It’s a difficulty selection menu.

They ostensibly meant mW rather than “nm wavelength” based on the image, but they might not be the brightest laser in the activist’s pocket.

Edit:

Jason Bassler is co-founder of The Free Thought Project and has been featured in such publications as Rolling Stone, Reason, Infowars, RT, MIC and The Tom Woods Show.

Checks out.

OP isn’t evidently in a healthy state of mind. They just took down(?) a second NoStupidQuestions post stating they had an NDA keeping them from whistleblowing on crimes of the US federal government and needed advice.

(Means “long wings”, FYI; “penna” means “wing” in Latin.)

Indeed, and needs to be reserved for creating the next generation of hosts for the woke mind virus and/or being aborted (but it’s cool if they don’t want to; it’s their body).

The alleged Reddit reaction is the only one actually mirroring the virology community. Good job, Reddit amalgam someone made up.

I appreciate that the milking room is next to the vegan kitchen. Human breastmilk given with consent is vegan, so line up those Antifa milkers for a mouthwatering, very throwable milkshake.

My Mom’s a pediatric oncology nurse and she said

Dude, I’m sorry; it’s not the same thing. Virologists were freaking the fuck out about COVID-19. Your mom being qualified to nurse children with cancer does not qualify her literally at all to give a prediction on the virology of an emergent outbreak. You may as well have said she was a vet tech.

If you’d read it, you would know:

At this early stage of the investigation with limited available information, we consider everyone on the ship to be close contacts, due to the closed setting and shared social areas and activities, aligned with the precautionary principle.

If a cruise ship is close and personal, a fuselage is obviously close and personal. The virologists are taking this into account; you’re not going to have any considerations they haven’t already thought of with 1000x more expertise and scrutiny.

Care to share with the class? Is the Lügenpresse in the room with us right now? I just linked to “the press” who were pushing that WHO quote around.

you don’t have the ability to control what I chose to read, sorry.

What does the word “please” mean to you? It’s a well-informed suggestion, and you were always free to ignore it.

As for the quote “very complicated and required extended intimacy”, can you point me to where the WHO has said that regarding this outbreak? Neither your article nor mine says those exact words.

• I’m not saying that human-to-human transmission isn’t possible. The WHO has acknowledged the possibility.
• The point is that transmissibility is likely quite low, i.e. even if there’s human-to-human transmission, it’s unlikely to be severe.
• “Got infected” in this case is “suspected of being infected”; we don’t know yet.
• For your own health, please don’t read the New York Post. Anything worth reporting will have coverage in other, actually reliable, sources.

The idea of human-to-human transmission is not some kind of fringe media panic. The World Health Organization has acknowledged that it could be human-to-human.

“We do believe ‌that there may ⁠be some human-to-human transmission that’s happening among the really close contacts, the husband and wife, people who have shared cabins,” Maria Van Kerkhove, the director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention at the WHO, told reporters in Geneva.

It’s just that the spread would likely be limited, unlike COVID which is highly transmissible.
