This is the kind of garbage #COVID coverage that perpetuates the problem. #ArsTechnica reports: "COVID outbreak at CDC gathering infects 181 disease detectives" (no link: you can look it up; I'm not sending them #clickbait traffic 😠).
That headline sounds bad, but here's the real headline, buried deep in the body of the post: "none of the infected conference attendees were hospitalized."
Isn't that the whole point of the #vaccine? That if you get sick, you're less likely to die?

Really nice to see Mastodon icon/link on your web site.
If you decide to remain with Mastodon (hopefully you will) and wish to invest more in Mastodon then maybe consider setting up your own Mastodon server (say social.arstechnica.com)

#ArsTechnica has a nice read on how development of new technology has influenced and evolved #superhero stories in the past decades. However it concludes with that for the past 20 years or so, with the success of the big screen, they only keep reproducing the same classic stories, and this has been lost.

An Amsterdam court today ordered one of the largest adult entertainment websites, xHamster, to remove all amateur footage showing recognizable people in the Netherlands who did not consent to be featured on the site.
The court found that this violated European privacy laws and conflicted with a prior judgment from the Amsterdam court requiring porn sites to receive permission from all performers recognizably featured before posting amateur videos.

With limited additional research and development, we believe that skilled attackers would be able to quickly create an operational #exploit to #compromise affected devices silently and remotely.”
Small rewards to readers of online stories can make them stop and think about the accuracy of the information in the stories they read. This made the readers able to more accurately determine the truth of the stories they read.

Researchers from security firm #Mandiant said on Thursday that they first spotted the campaign last June while tracking a phishing campaign targeting a #US-based customer in the #technology industry. The hackers in this campaign attempted to infect targets with three new malware families, dubbed by Mandiant as #Touchmove, #Sideshow, and #Touchshift. The hackers in these attacks also demonstrated new capabilities to counter endpoint detection tools while operating inside targets’ #cloud environments."
