I saw people worried about #vaccines causing death. My wife is a doctor so I asked her.
It's complicated, but the general takeaway is: all medicine has risk involved. Just like driving a car or even walking near a roadway. Yet the risk vs reward ratio is usually such that we decide to use medicine. In people who don't have strong independent risk factors vaccines should not cause issues. There's always outliers, but generally vaccines save way, way more lives than they cost.

LWN has a little article on github copilot https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/862769/9cbeaabb61b9d47c/
Also links to https://gist.github.com/0xabad1dea/be18e11beb2e12433d93475d72016902 which is pretty interesting
I like this quote from the github gist:
> The inevitable conclusion is that Copilot can and will write security vulnerabilities on a regular basis

On the topic of telemetry and tracking, did you know nvidia drivers on Windows come bundled with a bunch of tracking software services?
Get some free tracking with your drivers! ☢️
An old article about this, not sure if still up to date, but still quite "interesting"

My new video is public on YouTube!
It's a 1.5 hour long in-depth tutorial about making sound files loop seamlessly (using Audacity and Ardour for comparison).
Enjoy!

If you like neither VSCode nor Docker, pretend this blog post never happened 😄
For everyone else: this was actually quite an interesting experience and I love this setup!

Don't ask me how many hours this took 😂
(there was a whole lot of refactoring and setting up before it could be shown properly on screen...)
