"Many governments simply declared the Covid-19 pandemic over, even as the WHO has not. The problem is, a pandemic is not a psychological state of mind. It's a biological and social phenomenon. Simply declaring it over and resuming normal patterns of social interaction does not stop the unpredictable virus from wreaking havoc."
Would you like to create #kernel SRPMs for #Fedora from arbitrary #Linux Git repositories? SRPMs that focus on just the core kernel, are close to the official Fedora kernel packages, and buildable via rpmbuild, mock, koji, or copr? Then I got something new for you:

Apple’s Messages is encrypted end-to-end, but iCloud backups of your messages are not by default. They are, along with most of the rest of your data, when you enable Advanced Data Protection. Also consider whether the people you are messaging with _also_ turn it on (or else messages may be recoverable from their end).
Signal is always end-to-end encrypted and doesn’t have backups in this way. Telegram is generally not end-to-end encrypted.

🤔4B movement against Trump supporters? That makes very little sense.

Again, the majority of white women voters, voted for Trump🤷🏿♂️
37% of voters are white women, who voted 54% for Trump.
34% of voters are white men, who voted 60% for Trump.
So in total, white men contributed only ~2% more Trump votes than white women.
We keep trying to frame this election as something that men voters did to women. In reality, it's something that white voters did to everyone else.
