There is a Unicode symbol for anything. TIL there exists the COMBINING LONG SOLIDUS OVERLAY (U+0338) symbol, which makes any symbol appear struck through.

I will from now on use it in READMEs of my projects that are in public domain: ©̸

To be fair, it's hard to make it look neat: the font support is at times terrible. Helvetica and Helvetica Neue look great. Inter (used in Codeberg) is also not bad, so I'm keeping it

Another day, another ‘Chinese hacker’

Four identical e-mails with the subject along the lines of ‘hey, you sexy pervert. I want to tell you something. You are a moral freak!’

Tell me you're not a native English speaker without telling me you're not a native English speaker.

I was tested positive for COVID six days ago, and it’s the worst thing that had ever happened to me.

No, not because of the symptoms. I, actually, have none. It’s because of me being locked in for two weeks. I can’t socialize with my roommates (who are out tonight eating pizza), I can’t see my mum, I can’t go for a bicycle ride. Heck, I am technically not even allowed to check my post and take out the trash.

I’ve never felt more alone like I do now.

Theoretically, if I don’t have symptoms over the first seven days, I can get a test. If it’s negative, I am free.

But in order to be allowed to do this, I need to have been contacted by the city’s Health Dept. In 5 painstakingly long days, I wasn’t contacted. Let’s hope it changes on Monday.
