Ok. We have some not so good news wrt #Wuhan #coronavirus #2019_nCov Incubation period could be between 1 and 14(!) days. And, which is the dangerous new info, patients seem to be contagious DURING incubation. That is bad news IMHO. https://www.theguardian.com/science/live/2020/jan/26/coronavirus-outbreak-death-toll-rises-to-54-as-canada-confirms-first-case?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

I really hope that all cast members from any Star Trek series and The Gene Roddenberry estate distance themselves from this blatant rip-off. This. Is. Not. Our. Federation.

FTR - the incubation period for SARS-CoV, AKA the Wuhan #Coronavirus is 2-7 days. So locking down cities in China is just actionism IMHO. The superspreaders travelled before. On my 48 hour hiatus now. Just ordered surgical masks.

The #CloudWars are on! Explain to me again how the free markets invisible hand works ;) #SarcasmButOnlyHalf https://thehill.com/policy/technology/479530-amazon-asks-court-to-halt-microsofts-work-on-pentagon-war-cloud

I mean 320 favs and 230 boosts is quite remarkable to me with my little instance in the #fediverse :)

Ok. 7600+ likes on Twitter is a new personal record for me. Thank you all. Especially as I got them for a very nerdy thing that hopefully put a little smile on your face :) But #Mastodon is from a follower/fav ratio even more fun! #PositiveVibesFTW

TIL that MPEG LA (yes, the Moving Pictures Expert Group Licensing Association) licenses patents for Qi wireless charging. But Qi cannot even tell you if these patents are sufficient or if they cover wireless charging. Or if they’re offered under RAND https://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/knowledge-base/patents-and-trademarks/patents-licenses.html

Are you from the #EU? Do you wonder what data #ClearviewAI has collected about you? Why not send them "requests for access to personal data as per Art. 15 GDPR"? Template at [1], contact details at [2]

Zugfahrten kostenlos für Soldaten in Uniform ist ein IMHO perfider Versuch den Soldateneinsatz im inneren vorzubereiten. Warum nicht in Zivil?

Had to verify. And yes. Kernighan and Ritchie really did this. TIL :)

Dear @pixelfed Bug or feature? I notice that pixelfed sends the unfiltered version of the photo to Mastodon (I used the “1977” filter in this case). This feels wrong.

I live in Germany. I went to university. I’ve never heard of something like this. Access to education based on who else from your family made it? That’s just wrong. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/why-we-ended-legacy-admissions-johns-hopkins/605131/

Wait. Wait. Wait. The official #SpaceForce Twitter account joined in March 2009? Two Thousand And Nine? 10 years ago? Are we living in the matrix? My tinfoil hat is glowing.

Damn. Missed this one on #ff #FollowFriday #NotTheOnion

No protests *yet* in front of #Apple stores as #AirPodsPro are not going to be in stock at least for the next month. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf Seriously though @Apple@twitter.com - what’s the problem?

At a #Disney board meeting: “So it’s now quite some years into the 21st century. Just saying.” “Yeah, that’s true.” “But we are Disney, right?” “Also true. We live in the past. Reruns, remakes, sequels and prequels!” “So it’s agreed?” “Yes. It is.” “Thank you all.”

It’s 2020. It‘s #NHO time again at @redhat@twitter.com EMEA! Join us and make the change to #Open. http://jobs.redhat.com

Totally unscientific, non-representative result: In the #mastodon #fediverse people block more. Twitter users ignore more. Reporting happens on comparable levels.

I may be stupid or ignorant, but AFAICS Mozilla has $523M in assets. They still fire at least 70 folks mainly in QA? To focus on what? This is confusing. https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2018/mozilla-fdn-2018-short-form-final-0926.pdf
