I was able to use an app called Nara until just recently. It was read-only in free mode, but at least I could browse and read reddit without their own dogshit app. I wonder if this is related.
It’s important to note that the mask is far more effective in stopping the wearer from transmitting a virus than it is in stopping the wearer from contracting a virus.
While this is generally true, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that a properly-fitted respirator provides very good protection. Even more so if it's an elastomeric with P100 filters (99.97% PFE with absurdly high fit factors).
But...
You're absolutely right, if everyone would consistently wear at least an earloop respirator like a KF94 or KN95 — even if the quality is a bit sketchy and even if the fit is less than ideal — that would cut down on viral particulate emissions a great deal and task your own respirator with orders of magnitude less particulate to filter out.
Just saying, "it's capitalism's fault," is not entirely incorrect, but it is definitely oversimplifying. Chronic diseases are complex, incredibly challenging to solve, and can vary a great degree by individual.
The government gave the NIH a billion dollars to study long COVID and the result ... fuck-all. Literally all they did was loosely define some things that the enormous and growing patient community already knew. No treatments, no diagnostics, nothing.
To be clear, capitalism certainly plays a substantially antagonistic role in solving chronic illness, but just throwing money at a problem doesn't solve it either.
I don't think they're even vaguely aware that the term "fediverse" exists, much less what it actually is.
Same. If old. goes, reddit is dead to me. I don't know how anyone can stand the absolute clusterfuck that is "new" reddit.

I guess this post is PG13 because it was permitted just one fuck.
All I know is my back hurts out of fucking nowhere. So that's fun.
I would choose my dog's last shit over Trump.
I am also confused about the "digital" in this context.
Edit: lol I'm tired and overly tech brained, I forgot it also means fingers.
"We could excuse the kiddie diddling, but five bucks a gallon is where we draw the line!"
Ya naw, fuck off
Fuck absolutely everything about this.
Now imagine if they were actually subject to environmental regulations.
Well... shit. That's what it was?
Concepts of a cow
You may be addicted to social media, but are you this addicted?
God, I fucking hate the self censoring so much. There is just something so corpo-cucked about it.
Where are you seeing this?
I took this screenshot from 338 Canada five seconds ago:
That's still from March 9th. Things are changing fast.
Ah yes, certainly this will never ever be abused by law enforcement ever.
Government: "wear a mask to protect others"
Conservatives: "Nuh uh! You can't tell me what to do! Hurr durr honk honk muh freedumbs!!"
Government: "wearing a mask is strictly prohibited"
Conservatives: "As you wish, my sire, whose boot shall I lick?"
