sounds like you're right about the "evil" part

Screenshot of part of the bee movie script in the website in the OP. The text is rendered normally in the top part of the image, but in the middle of the image a new zlib block starts and the text does not render properly after that.

This whole saga is interesting to me because here in the UK, I don't think the NHS have ever recommended COVID boosters for healthy adults
Anyone is still allowed to get one privately, but to be eligible on the NHS there's a pretty narrow list of risk factors compared to the CDC one
[Screenshot of NHS website] Who should have the COVID-19 vaccine You may be offered a COVID-19 vaccine in early winter if you: - are aged 75 or over - are aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment - live in a care home for older adults Health conditions and treatments that mean you're eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine: You may be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine if you have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment. This can include if you: have or had blood cancer, such as leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma have had an organ transplant, bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplant have HIV have a genetic disorder that affects your immune system, such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) are having or recently had chemotherapy, biological therapy or radiotherapy are taking steroid medicine (depending on the dose) are having long-term immunosuppressive treatment for a condition such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), scleroderma or psoriasis This list is a summary and does not include everything. Speak to your local pharmacy, GP surgery or specialist if you're not sure if you're eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

if you just need the IP address, `ip -br -c a` is much more readable
i have it aliased to `ipa` for convenience
$ ip -br -c a lo UNKNOWN 127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128 wlan0 UP 192.168.1.139/24 2a01:[censored]:7385/64 2a01:[censored]:8e2/64 fe80::eb9b::8c5e::16f7::278d/64 (The command output is neatly colour-coded)

A black and white photograph of an Alpine hut behind a lake. There is a forest behind the hut, and mountains in the background, as well as some trees in the foreground. A black and white photograph looking down a valley in a mountainous area. There is a peak in the left of the image, with a scree slope below it, and a gentler slope on the opposite side of the valley. A forest is visible in the distance further down the valley. Other mountains can be seen in the far background.

A heavily zoomed in view of a Julia set rendered using single precision floating point numbers, showing heavy artefacts due to floating point precision. It looks like heavily pixelated blobs of colour in the colours of the nonbinary pride flag.

There is a black laptop motherboard with a large chip (the CPU) in the middle. The CPU is covered in liquid metal residue (not actually liquid, but called liquid because it's liquid at operating temperature). Above this there is a copper CPU cooler which also has some liquid metal residue on the CPU die area, and some pink thermal pads in surrounding areas.
