He did a pretty good job with Covid.

At the start when he was panicking and relying on the experts? Yes.

Withholding money from the healthcare system in Ontario during a pandemic is not something I will be praising him for, and contributes to the reasons why I will never vote for him.

I don't like the Austrian one being phone-integrated, but I understand why people would want that.

The technology has existed since the 80s.

X509 certificates would allow a government agency to sign a digital identity indicating that it's legitimate, would allow for remote revocation in the event of loss or theft, and can be easily integrated with every existing computer and browser.

An issued physical card would resemble a credit card, with a chip in it. Other physical form factors can take the shape of USB-devices which bundle the card and the reader into a single device.

$40.50 to sit on the couch sounds about right for new years.

Oh this takes me back. Early 2000s, a pre-holiday release of one of the Gears of War - I forget which, and then: Christmas Morning.

Thousands of people having just opened the game immediately jumping into multiplayer and getting absolutely massacred. What an amazing Christmas present.

Now I'm the fodder, on a good day.

This and “no hello” are trying to solve the same problem. People who overuse line breaks.

Say hello, or ask for an expert but “in the same breath” go on with your business. It’s still polite.

Attention electron developers: under no circumstances do I want your entire app in .config.

Fedidb is only for Federated Services; Reddit, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube are not on the charts.

Those who have suffered and decided that others must suffer too because "they turned out OK" or to "toughen them up" were broken by their suffering and that's just deeply sad.
