I'm curious as to why you think Birth Flu is so dangerous. The Pasteur Institute was trying to sell biological weapons in 1890, a good 28 years before 1918.

Crossover events can be deadly. A virus adapted to pigs is going to stick out like a sore thumb inside a human being. The parainfectious inflammation can and will kill. But that doesn't mean it will spread like wildfire.

Mike Fraser :Jets: 1 month ago • mastodon (AP)

It's one thing to be indifferent but to actively tell staff they can't talk about vaccines seems completely bonkers. The state at this point is mandating what treatment you get abd what you don't. Is this the freedom all the red hats were yelling about?

"As winter sets in, the bird flu becomes harder to spot because patient symptoms may be mistaken for the seasonal flu. Flu season also raises a risk that the two flu viruses could swap genes if they infect a person simultaneously. That could form a hybrid bird flu that spreads swiftly through coughs and sneezes."

Someone assumed I’m running a tech startup. This is not the case.

I’ve been involved with startups, sometimes at an executive level, but that’s no longer what I’m involved with.

I’ve worked at successful startups and unsuccessful startups. And I’ve learned quite a bit along the way.

But earlier this year, a side venture started doing well, and I finally said, “You know what? This can no longer be something I do on the side.” And this venture is not a tech startup.

I see Microsoft still haven't fixed the crash in Phone Link when you focus the message list. So, here's my app module to work around this and add some other conveniences. I can't be bothered adding type annotations, etc. to submit to NVDA core, nor can I be bothered submitting this as an add-on, so this will require developer scratchpad to be enabled. https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jcsteh/a7c94e4c52219ebe93d71882021ac916/raw/296dd8e41b70b84b5d0ca7a1db735ed24587a5b4/phoneexperiencehost.py

If I could get PhoneLink to reliably send messages and not screw up my Airpods, I'd probably care more, but given about one in ten messages sends now...

Jamie Teh 3 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@BorrisInABox I have this weird issue with my phone where Bluetooth regularly fails in such a way that my Airpods won't connect and Phone Link won't send messages. My friend doesn't have this problem though and I'm wondering whether it's because I have a braille display paired, even though I don't use it that often with the phone. The only fix I've found is to turn off Bluetooth on the phone and turn it back on. Happens at least once a day.

@Patrick Perdue

Jamie Teh 3 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@BorrisInABox Oh oh, yes, I know what you're talking about now. I have calls disabled for Phone Link because it wants to steal calls from my Airpods, but I re-enable calls on demand occasionally if I need it for a specific call, which isn't that often for me. Just in case you don't know, alt+s gets you to settings, which is useful for quickly disabling calls.

@Patrick Perdue

Patrick Perdue 3 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Yep. Problem for me is that calls work more reliably than sending messages. And sometimes, new messages won't show up, but I'll get all the pointless notifications like there's no tomorrow. I can turn those off, but then I'd probably get nothing but phone calls. If I turn those off, I'd probably get nothing.

Jamie Teh 3 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@BorrisInABox Yeah, it's definitely far from perfect. For me, it's also a hell of a lot better than nothing. And I blame Apple for all of this crappiness, for all the difference that makes to no one.

@Patrick Perdue

Jamie Teh 3 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@BorrisInABox Anecdotally, Phone Link seems to be more reliable with messages for me in the last month or two, perhaps iOS 18, a Phone Link update or... complete falsehood that I will discover as such just minutes after I write this. Do with that what you will, probably nothing. 😀
