  • To prevent the script from spreading further, all Wikimedia projects were set to read-only for about 2 hours, and all user JavaScript was temporarily disabled.

    The NoScript extension in Firefox makes the web so much nicer. It turns out sites that don’t require JavaScript tend to made by vastly better humans than sites that do. More so for sites that require cross-site scripting and cookies to just show text.

    Can’t search on google.com without allowing JavaScript, but it turns out Lite.DuckDuckGo does, and for me at least gives vastly better search results.

    Wikipedia can be read and edited without allowing JavaScript, and I personally don’t like the crap that the scripts provide. It’s also usable without cookies, tho the idiotic UI options column on the right is a hassle without cookies.









  • These hemorrhagic-fever like outbreaks (like Ebola and Marburg) usually don’t spread too far because of how dramatic the symptoms are and of how quickly they usually kill patients: here “death occurs within just 48 hours of the onset of symptoms”.

    “However, here, it is concerning that we have hundreds of cases and over 50 deaths, with hemorrhagic-fever like symptoms widely reported among those cases.” - Michael Head. Current estimate of a “fatality rate of 12.3 percent” is of course a major problem locally, tho that % could be completely wrong.

    If there are few or no asymptomatic carriers, and the incubation is period is short, then it’s unlikely to be like COVID-19.

    Bird flu is still big concern - and potentially the solution to omnicidal anthropogenic climate change.
