<p>On January 21, the Trump gang took down the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) website. Later they put it back up, but with a lot removed. Information about vaccines, HIV, abortion, trans issues, gender issues... all gone. 😠 </p><p>Some good news: thanks to a lot of hard work by good people, you can now see the restored CDC website here:</p><p><a href="https://restoredcdc.org/www.cdc.gov/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">restoredcdc.org/www.cdc.gov/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> 🎉 </p><p>It has 46,000 web pages! A bunch of the links are broken, and the videos don&#39;t work yet, but they&#39;re fixing things, and each page has a button where you can report problems. </p><p>The team doing this good work is called RestoredCDC, and they write:</p><p>.....</p><p>This is a volunteer-based, unfunded project.

<p>If you&#39;ve in any way been connected to the Brown CS department you know Tom Doeppner. Now he&#39;s retiring after 48 years.

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> Different strokes for different folks. </p><p>Unfortunately, for eastern folks like India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Occupied Papua, Twitter/X still way to go. People ranting, complaining, share stuff there. Also there&#39;s a lot of information about Occupation of Papua can be found freely on Twitter/X than in anywhere else. </p><p>For western folks, yes, Twitter/X is a dumpster fire, but for Eastern .... it depends and many still find it useful.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> It really boils down to selfishness, and willful ignorance of how one&#39;s choices affect the world.</p>
