“successful communist country”.

Communist? Is communism allowed to have billionaires and be indistinguishable for state capitalism except for the colour of the flag?

Since I always browse with VPN + lots of privacy protections, I feel like half the websites I visit think I’m a bot. It’s a pain in the arse.

Really? I’m pretty sure I’m being IP tracked by companies like google.

I’m deaf and the large majority of peertube videos don’t have captions :/

That’s actually not the case. For example this recent study actually found loss of taste and smell to be the least common long covid symptom they asked about. (no doubt to the fact that usually gets better within a couple months, while the other types of long COVID are often chronic).

Loss of taste and smell is a common short term symptom lingering a couple months after the infections. But long COVID commonly causes chronic lifelong illnesses like ME/CFS and POTS that don’t resolve with time, so their symptoms end up being more common.

Meanwhile Russia going for that lategame domination victory after having a tough dark age where a bunch of cities declared independence.

1 million is probably an understatement. But I think one million is about right for people who experience significant disability from long COVID.

Older data but europe based: https://www.who.int/europe/news-room/13-09-2022-at-least-17-million-people-in-the-who-european-region-experienced-long-covid-in-the-first-two-years-of-the-pandemic--millions-may-have-to-live-with-it-for-years-to-come

So many gone that way.

It’s especially evident by the communities that started off with “edgy”/“offensive” jokes and quickly become far right echo chambers.

That’s bad faith alt accounts.

A lot of us have alt accounts for privacy reasons, not to create bad faith alter egos.

Fun Fact. Trump has never once called Putin a dictator.
