That sounds right

This might hurt future publishers of whistleblowers. Does this set the precedent that publishing info from whistleblowers can be prosecuted as espionage?

It was never for you, the user. Like any advertising company, DuckDuckGo wants to reduce the cost of predicting what products its user will buy, which, at this point, means harvesting your thoughts and asking an AI model what you will buy, even if you've already left.

IMO, watching a YouTube video of Hasan is not as interesting as watching him live. A lot of his original content is responding to bad takes from chatters, and YouTube videos of Hasan, even from third-party channels like this one, cut all of that out by Hasan's request, to avoid harrassment of those chatters.

Watching the Twitch VOD (the part in this video starts at 2:52:55, it's from last Monday) is better: Nothing is cut out or edited, and it's easier to follow chat, since in the video itself, comments are delayed by several seconds.

For me, the best way to watch Hasan is his stream, (which is live for about 8 hours every day), because I can participate in chat. It usually takes about 40 minutes before he starts to actually cover the news. I'm not just watching it nonstop all day, I have it on in the background and check every so often if something interesting is going on.

It doesn't. A one-star review says as much

I use both and prefer Covixyl, but I'm not aware of any ELAH nasal sprays sold in Australia

If getting a Paxlovid prescription is not an option, 2 other things you can do to reduce the viral load of COVID while you are sick with it, which decreases the severity/lowers your risk of long COVID:

  • Use a mouthwash containing .07% CPC (like Parodontax or Crest Pro-Health) twice a day while you are sick [1]

  • Use a Carrageenan nasal spray like Flo nasal spray 3x per day [2].

Sources[1] Efficacy of CPC mouthwash for decreasing the viral load of COVID: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8941951/

[2] Efficacy of using a nasal spray while you have COVID to decrease the severity and make you get better faster: https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9969373


 
Although Paxlovid is the first/most important thing to do to decrease your likelihood of long COVID, using CPC mouthwash and nasal sprays while you have COVID is a good idea to do regardless, with or without Paxlovid.
