    You're right that #covid isn't like other flus/colds. You're wrong that covid isn't still killing people left & right anymore. It still is #killing people left & right, as well as #disabling a large amount of people who become infected more than once. The problem is governments aren't providing the public with any accurate reports, have stopped funding proper tracking methodology of both infections & covid related deaths, have misled public & conned people into cognitive dissonance/normalizing #eugenics #publichealth policies.

    I work in #healthcare. I'm in multiple hospitals, long term care homes, private assisted living homes & multiple medical clinics for my contract work. People are still dying from covid & other illnesses that are triggered/re-triggered from covid infections. Governments are still lying to everyone about it all - while countless people with covid, #longcovid plus those with zero covid & at high risk due to compromised #immunology are dehumanized/devalued by government & treated like crap by ignorant general public.

    Normalizing/ignoring covid will only lead to multiple #medical #crisis points & will end up collapsing already overstrained public health care systems. No stable economy either, when more people are becoming #disabled from long covid & unable to work/be limited with work.

  3. "The thing about having an invisible #disability is that often I expect myself to have the functioning of a healthy #person. I have to remember that if a person suddenly experienced the level of executive #dysfunction, memory problems and depression I experience on an average day, they would go to the hospital
    it’s called a disability because it’s #disabling"

    “…details vary by context, but poli scientist Elizabeth David-Barrett lays out 3 general mechanisms of #StateCapture. They now sound familiar:shaping the rules of the game thru #law & #policy; #influencing admin decisions by capturing the #budget, appts, govt #contracts & #regulatory decisions;& #disabling checks on #power by #dismantling #accountability structures like the #judiciary, law enforcement & prosecution, & audit institutions like #IGs & #media.”

  7. #TerribleTake, but I am starting to realize that curating a satisfying cultural and #intellectual life may be so absorbing that it is #disabling. So easy to distract yourself or use up your mental energy non-productively.

    The perils of #LivingYourBestLife? Ugh?

    I LOVE #mastodon, but it can sure fool you, like all #SocialMedia, into thinking you are doing something.

  9. Is it crazy to consider asking for a primary care doctor that’s #neurodivergent? Having to constantly get it up emotionally for allistics is exhausting, and frankly distracts from my actual care. Further, I don’t think they understand that, when I raise concerns about trust and transparency, that being dismissive and not addressing concerns diminishes trust. They just don’t hear me and then wonder why I avoid them.

  11. FYI anyone in Dublin 7:

    Prussia Street is a no-go area for anyone using a wheelchair, mobility scooter, or similar.

    Due to unlawful practices by construction workers, both footpaths are fully obstructed.

    Dublin City Council is aware and failing to enforce.

  13. @karlstanley @dublininquirer Find someone who is willing to pursue a case on grounds of discrimination - older people, pregnant people, disabled people - and support them through the process.

    Failure to provide public toilets - and public seating - is an accessibility, equality, and human rights issue issue.

    #Invisible challenges include: #autism spectrum; learning challenges; developmental challenges; and #MentalHealth. What role does the #BuiltEnvironment play in #disabling these user groups? How can we, as built environment practitioners, learn from this #diverse #perceptual model? How can we design in a way that is more #facilitative, #supportive and #accessible for #neurodiverse perceptual models?

  16. CW: #SSM™ #StateSponsoredMalware #Demo #FinFisher Plays from #GammaGroup

    So after having a $1200 Samsung phone bricked by #SSM#StateSponsoredMalware™ from #GammaGroup's #FinFisher #FinSpy #Finsky I am writing a post analysis of some 'features' to be detailed at a later time when I have time.

    Suffice to say some items available include:

    ¹ Disabling Digitizer
    ² Disabling the lower part of the
    "◀️ ◼️ ⚫" so you can't minimize, go back or home key."
    ³ Neu use of #QuciksandModule to #BatteryDrain and change the voltage input on the charger and/or altering the 🔋 #battery power display
    #Nuking & #Disabling the #Phone dialer app to make the #CallLog show nothing.
    #Nuking & #Disabling the #Contacts app so you can't add any numbers
    #Corrupting the #Addressbook so that all your #contacts go 💥
    ⁷ Intermittent Display of items
    #E911Backdoor usage such that even without a #SIMCard comms & even #AirplaneMode overlay shows airplane mode but really the phone is ON the Data network.
    ⁹ Removal of the #simcard got temporary usage of my phone and it went back to normal use wise but then the #E911Backdoor was data enabled once they got approval.

    Unfortunately, I found that core 0 cannot be disabled on that machine, so you're stuck with at least one performance core enabled, no matter what you do. Still, that's only one out of four. Here's my notes on how to do it:

    CPUs: disable all but one low-power CPU on Pinebook Pro:
    for x in 0 1 3 4 5; do echo 0 |sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$x/online; done
    -enable:
    for x in 0 1 3 4 5; do echo 1 |sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$x/online; done

    "Advertising" for #facebook (containers) on hompeage, laying off security team instead of cutting the CEO's pay (citation needed), partnership with #Cloudflare, a fuckton of #telemetry, making misleading claims about privacy features that just cover up surveillance instead of actually doing anything about it, #disabling all addons like #ublock and #noscript on mozilla webpages, #Pocket (which is really just more #telemetry ), moving useful features to about:config to make them less accessible, putting UX before users, etc...
