LjL-Matrixde-facto: I think they actually made the bridge a lot worse in the name of privacy (days ago I heard of Libera staff saying they wanted more privacy from the Matrix bridge, but I didn't know what that referred to): this well-known recent bug https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/1355 was caused by this new behavior https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/1332 which comes originally from this 2016 bug02:20
LjL-Matrixreport https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/212 and which I can see how it may end up losing a lot of messages during *and after* netsplits and such: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/212#issuecomment-48455105402:20
BrainstormUpdates for Netherlands: +3624 cases (now 1.7 million), +11 deaths (now 17748) since 21 hours ago — United Kingdom: +1778 cases (now 4.5 million), +4 deaths (now 127901) since 21 hours ago — Germany: +4513 cases (now 3.7 million) since 20 hours ago02:37
pwr22Matrix will always keep all the messages in rooms in the servers by default anyway, even if it's access control doesn't let new joiners see it02:39
pwr22I think they should either not allow matrix bridging or give up on privacy02:39
pwr22And tbh I don't understand wanting stuff in public channels to not persist or become hidden in the annuls of time. It just encourages people to do things they wouldn't otherwise consider acceptable02:40
pwr22*give up on extreme privacy requirements for public bridged rooms02:40
LjL-MatrixPeter: I think what happens with bridged rooms though is that the server *doesn't get messages in at all* unless/until all Matrix users are verified to also be on IRC... which means that if something gets typed on IRC even when just one person on the Matrix side is not (yet?) connected to IRC (or has been disconnected because of some reason), the bridge treats that as a "bridge is down" event and just doesn't send messages across. So they02:43
LjL-Matrixwon't be in the servers, but they also will be lost to *all* users02:43
LjL-MatrixI had to set an entrymsg for this channel stating that the channel was logged because someone nagged me about it, simply due to the fact that the plumbed Matrix room had public history, and freenode staff confirmed they'd rather want me to warn about logging in that case02:44
LjL-Matrix(Now the channel is also logged by DocScrutinizer so I'd have to have that message anyway)02:44
LjL-MatrixThe "solution" to this bug does mention, by Matthew I think, that it could be a per-room setting, so channels that "don't care about privacy" (or have public logs) could disable it. But I suspect unless someone adds that as a PR it won't happen02:45
LjL-MatrixSo for now... expect loss of messages whenever there's a netsplit :(02:45
LjL-MatrixAnd ironically, there was just a netsplit earlier, which resolved just a minute before you posted that message02:46
LjL-MatrixBut well, your messages would have made it to IRC anyway. The other way around, not so much.02:47
LjLLike can I be seen now?02:47
LjL-MatrixWell, I just typed a message from LjL on Libera, and it isn't showing up, so that's great02:47
stanthis is not related to FOSS03:24

stanpolicies were changed in the past 10 days - prior, it said topics not related to FOSS would be better on another server04:02
stanso my question is resolved, it's not an inappropriate topic/channel anymore04:03
xrogaanThis channel is informal and is part of a peer-directory project.04:04
standoes libera document changes in policies?04:04
xrogaanHad you bothered to check: https://github.com/ljl-covid/links04:04
stani was not aware of that site04:05
xrogaanon the topic04:05
xrogaan%cases UK04:05
Brainstormxrogaan: In United Kingdom, there have been 4.5 million confirmed cases (6.8% of the population) and 127901 deaths (2.9% of cases) as of an hour ago. 181.5 million tests were performed (2.5% positive). See https://offloop.net/covid19/?default=United%20Kingdom for time series data.04:06
stanis that true?04:06
xrogaanwhat?04:07
stanwhat is a 'case'?04:08
xrogaanpeople getting sick04:08
stanit used to be people getting sick04:08
LjLa case is whatever is officially defined as a case by the state in question04:08
stannow, since covid, it's a positive pcr-40 test04:08
stanwhy was the standard and definition for 'case' changed then?04:09

stanso 'case' in this case, means something different04:23
stanthat seems significant04:23
Juerdstan: I'd say the mrna vaccines are open core, not open source. The sequences are known, but the vaccines have proprietary lipids.04:25
LjLcan you point us to a formal definition of this... definition?04:25
LjLJuerd, the sequences are known because they were reverse-engineered04:25
LjLso they are not open anything really04:25
JuerdLjL: Open but not free :)04:26
stanopen?  where's the sequence?04:26
Juerdhttps://berthub.eu/articles/posts/reverse-engineering-source-code-of-the-biontech-pfizer-vaccine/04:26
JuerdDefinitely not opened by Pfizer itself :)04:27
LjLyeah i wouldn't call it open when it's a reverse-engineering effort. it's like calling Windows open because someone stole the source code and posted it somewhere a few years ago04:27
LjLanyway i'm not sure these terms apply as easily to vaccines as to code...04:27
JuerdLjL: Fair enough :)04:28
LjLstan, can you point me to the formal definition of "case" that you seem to be referring to?04:28
JuerdIt appears that part of the vaccine has much in common with code :)04:28
stanNational and international organizations have published lists of uniform case definitions for the mandatory reporting of select diseases.04:28
stana case of disease hinges on the definition of disease04:29
stan"Disease, any harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of an organism, generally associated with certain signs and symptoms and differing in nature from physical injury. A diseased organism commonly exhibits signs or symptoms indicative of its abnormal state."04:29
stanwith the covid event, 'cases' were tagged upon a positive pcr-40 test04:30
stanamong asymptomatic individuals04:30
stanthis is a novel phenomenon04:30
LjL" A clinical definition should be regarded as a statistical analysis tool, and not a substitute for a pathological definition when this is required.[6]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_case_definition04:30
de-factoif ~40%-50% of infection sources would just be neglected because they dont fit in the liking of some "case" definition we would need to reduce contact rates by that amount in order to get a similar reproduction reduction compared to isolating cases that tested positive04:31
stanthis is a changed definition - check the history of the page04:31
LjLthis sounds to me like it's saying that the definition of whether the person is "sick" may not coincide with the *statistical* use of cases, which is clearly what is being done here with COVID04:31
de-factoand those numbers are known for over a year by now, *at least* 40%-50% of infections with SARS-CoV-2 take place prior to symptom onset04:32
LjLstan, show me the relevant history change if you want, i'm not going to sleuth the wikipedia page. anyway if there's anything that i could fathom as warranting a revision of a "case definition" during an outbreak, that would be a pandemic.04:32
stanthe definition of 'pandemic' was also changed04:32
de-factothat is exactly the reason why it spreads so easy with asymptomatic carriers via international airplane traveling04:32
stanalways pay attention when some group redefines words for political purposes04:32
stanthey do not go to this effort to enlighten or inform04:33
de-factoi dont care about politicians, i care about infections going down04:33
stanthat can be easily arranged04:33
stanif your measure of 'infection' is the Drosten protocol04:34
de-factoi measure an infection as presence of pathogen, potential source for new cases and potential progression into more symptomatic or even severe disease04:34
stan'de' is an appropriate prefix :)04:34
BrainstormUpdates for Uruguay: +5974 cases (now 288172), +58 deaths (now 4176) since 23 hours ago04:35
stanpcr-40 is not a measure of a disease04:35
de-factoit never said its a measure for disease04:36
stanit's a measure of noise04:36
JuerdSeems the sequence, in many different parts, are described in patents held by moderna. Maybe that counts as open source in some way :P04:37
de-factoif it detects characteristic parts of SARS-CoV-2 RNA (specific down to a variant even) that RNA has to have originated from a recent source where that sample was taken04:37
stani'll look into that more Juerd - it's an interesting topic04:37
LjLokay look, i'll be plain04:38
Juerdhttps://www.modernatx.com/patents - good luck. It's thousands of pages :)04:38
LjLin this channel a "COVID doesn't really exist" and "there is no pandemic" line is not okay04:38
LjLyou can make maybe ##not-covid04:38
de-factoas its known that RNA is cleared by the body transporting it away trashing it, it has to originate from a recent viral replication on cellular level local to where that sample was taken e.g. with the cotton swab04:38
LjLif you want to discuss the vaccine technology or whatever, feel free04:38
LjLbut this entire rant on case definitions, the famed Drosten protocol, etc, leave it out04:38
stanthe standard, accepted definition of pandemic (by WHO) included significant excess mortality04:38
stanthis was revised 2017 iirc.  now the common cold is a 'pandemic' by the revised definition.04:39
stanso it was revised to meaninglessness04:39
stanalways beware the language-benders04:39
de-factowhat do you want to say? you dont make a bit of a sense at all04:39
de-factodefinition bla bla, look we have got a problem with COVID that obviously originates from infections, so how about using those as the metric for how well we can prevent the cause of our global problem with the pandemic?04:41
BrainstormNew from The Indian Express: World: Myanmar Covid-19 outbreak hits health system shattered after coup → https://is.gd/xTbYGQ04:42
LjLstan, there is significant excess mortality in many places.04:44
LjLthe link in the topic provides some references for that.04:45
stani have references showing there isn't04:45
stanhave you taken the covid quiz LjL?04:46
LjLno04:46
stanhttps://www.covidchartsquiz.com/04:47
stansee how you do04:47
LjLand feel free to show your references, including for countries that do have excess mortality in my references04:47
de-factooh they are burning their dead relatives in India on the street for fun then? now THAT makes more sense04:47
stanpandemic being global you need to show global excess deaths, not cherry-picked04:48
de-factothe pathogen is found globally, meaning at each place there is the potential for an outbreak that overwhelms the healthcare system and what happens then can be seen in countries like India (unfortunately for them)04:49
de-factoits very severe, people dying in cars in front of the hospital, not enough oxygen even to provide it to them in the cars04:50
LjLstan, different places are having peaks at different times04:50
stanyes, if I choose my peaks, i can show a trough in 202004:50
de-factothe crematoriums also being overwhelmed, hence family members having to burn their relatives on parking places on the streets instead, then they even ran out of wood for burning them so they threw them in the river04:50
Juerdde-facto: stan, like everyone else, has access to all that information. It's not exactly hidden. They chose not to believe it and it's a waste of time trying to convince them.04:51
stanhow did you do LjL?04:51
Juerd(If they really do believe the nonsense; it could very well be that they're trolling.)04:52
de-factoso that this was prevented from happening at other places is not an evidence for that it never could have become a reality there too if enough people doubt the tests and vaccines and distancing etc04:53
de-factoin the end its all about the behavior of the majority of the people because for reproduction the pathogen needs contact rates, transmission paths and infectious carriers walking around (with or without symptoms)04:54
stantake the covid quiz Juerd !04:55
LjLstan, i did not complete it because it was obviously biased and i could cheat it by selecting what seemed the "obviously wrong" answer and it's also extermely US-centered which barely interests me as i don't live there04:55
Juerdstan: No. Like yourself, I've already chosen what to believe.04:56
stani changed my  mind based on evidence04:56
LjLevidence of which you have shown none apart from a quiz, apparently04:56
stanthe quiz is very informative :)04:57
de-factoits brainwash.04:57
LjLat least the early questions in the quiz beg to distinguish correlation from causation04:59
LjLplaces that have worse peaks also tend to have tougher lockdowns *because* of the peaks04:59
LjLbut i won't deny that how the peaks behave is a tough nut to crak04:59
stanif the measures are effective, they should have a visible causative effect05:00
stanto justify the immense cost and harms thereof05:00
de-factoso what do you think causes a peak to go down after it reached its maximum?05:00
LjLcountries that implemented *actually strict measures effectively*, like Australia and New Zealand, have basically zero casees05:00
de-factomultiple times a year in many places05:00
stan'cases'05:01
stanthere's no correlation05:01
stanwe have at least 28 papers now proving this05:01
de-factocarriers as potential sources for new infections05:01
stanand lacking a correlation planet-wide, there is no causation05:01
de-factowould you feel bad if you had no symptoms and your grandmother died because you refused to accept a test result?05:01
stanlacking causation, no justification05:01
de-factoso maybe you would feel better if you define yourself to be not a case in such a fatal scenario for someone else?05:03

de-factopeaks surpassing their maximum (multiple times a year) and going down again is because of change in the behavior of the people as carrier of a pathogen, the contact rates obviously went down as well as hygiene measures went up (people are more careful) that then reflects in case numbers with a delay of 1-2 weeks05:12
de-factothe cause of that is irrelevant (if people did it from their own sanity or if they had to be forced by government) for the pathogen spread only the reproduction counts05:13

stanThe Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act - mandates paying hospitals an additional 20% on top of traditional Medicare rates.  Including tens of thousands for reporting a covid death, when it's really a death with positive Drosten PCR-40 result.05:15

de-factobla bla, look people are dying from COVID at rates never seen before, how else could they run out of resources to care for their *dead* relatives05:18
de-factoyou think it makes *any* difference to them if how it was diagnosed? its irrelevant because they died from it (otherwise there were not so many dead bodies obviously when normally resources would not be exhausted by a pandemic out of control)05:19
