• On Tuesday #uk gov. announced highest #covid19 death toll since February, in spite of around 6-7 million people receiving so-called 'boosters'. It's becoming evident that the vaccines are better than nothing but hardly enough to prevent more lockdowns and overcrowded (overflowing) hospitals, causing deaths of not only coronavirus patients. This isn't good. It's not going away.

• After #trump had quietly taken a vaccine for #covid19 (he did not report it because his lunatic fans were more useful to him if radicalised against "the libs!") #biden was elected and this year's COVID-19 death toll is worse than last year's (comparing analogous points in time). Even AFTER mass vaccination. We need BETTER vaccines.

• Winning a battle in #freesw is hard because the definition of "win" keeps changing along with the goalposts; in the old days, for example, we all talked about "year of Linux on the desktop" but gradually the desktop itself just languished and #android is NOT freedom.

• The battle for #freesw will never be "won" because it'll always be a battle/balance between ordinary citizens and the powerful few. And even if 100% was Free software, there would still be )constantly) attempts to undermine it, so vigilance would be necessary, soon apathy (taking things for granted) would lead to concessions, surrender, compromise.
