Bah this is just scare mongering. The flu comes every year, you get sick for two weeks or so and are fine for the rest of the year. People with decent immune systems and botany knoedge do better. People dependent on drugs and who screw their immune systems up with vaccines do worse.
Yet another reason to stick with LibreOffice and other FOSS open source software.
Well considering I use a laptop and no couch…
I remember goldeneye. And yeah it would be annoying. You could probably plug the snipe commands onto the right thumbstick. But yeah trying to emulate 90s single stick controls onto double stick controllers is a pain. Almost as bad as trying to emulate a Wii lol.
Yeah and it’s still inferior to a keyboard and mouse for FPS. Better for RPGs tho.
Just this last little while?
Of course they do: their jobs are becoming increasingly obsolete as AI gets better.
So you wrote a long text wall to say what? Mental illness isn’t the cause of mass shootings? Then what would you say is?
Everyone who I know who is antivax supports everything on that list. Boosting natural immunity, hygiene, better nutrition, any number of other health improvements.
When will people understand that it’s mathematically impossible to pay off the national debt? Debt = money. The more money you print the more national debt you have. As long as you back your currency with debt instead of hard resources then paying off the national debt is as impossible as finding unicorns and dragons to ride.
Depends how big your kitchen is, what you’re making and how organized you are. If you’re working in an appartment kitchenette you can hardly turn around in, probably not. If you’re making a family dinner for a dozen people or more in a big room sized kitchen in a family home, then yeah maybe you want some help.
I mean your premise seems to be that various diseases will reemerge and that will scare people into getting vaccines. But what if they end up healthier and so adapt in different ways? Better sanitation, immune boosters, improved forms of treatment, etc. What if the medical culture takes a totally different route because you allowed people not to get vaccinated?
And if you’re wrong? What if those who are vaccine free do better? I mean you’ve got a good idea there with the A/B testing but what if your premise is wrong or the anti-vaccine crowd is right and they do end up healthier despite the presence of diseases?
Your garden and kitchen = biochemistry and biology. Home improvement, crafting and anything to do with the trades = physics. Household cleaners, gas, automotive chemicals and plastics = chemistry + healthcare = more organic chemistry and biology. Just dealing with everyday life is science.
Look I think one of the fundamental problems here is we have a cultural divide between people with thousand dollar degrees and everyday people. When someone says “I’m not going to be a scientist” they’re probably thinking “I can’t afford to pay thousands of dollars to pay for a degree” whilst actual scientists are wondering “why don’t people pursue this subject more?” Money. Pure and simple. Real science = cooking, building something, worrying about that scum in your sink, trying to figure out the best cleaner that won’t set off an allergic reaction, and yes looking into the side effects of vaccines and assorted drugs. You want people to think scientifically then call them scientists. Don’t create an economic barrier for those who want to pursue knowledge. And don’t treat science like it only happens in labs. It’s an every day process. Science = the study of nature and everybody can do that every day. You don’t need an expensive degree to do that. So being a “scientist” shouldn’t be limited to those in white coats, getting grants and have a dozen plaques on their wall that cost a couple thousand dollars to buy.
Same reason collectivist people like social media censorship and gun control, to make them feel “safe” even though all it does is centralize power. Besides hi ow many people have the tech skills to even know what third party app repositories are?
They exist. People just don’t buy them. But there is a Ubuntu phone port you can install on your phone as an alternative to android.
But yeah it can get complicated like any Linux community project and isn’t at all mainstream.
One of the main advantages of Spotify for me is the AI. I could host the music myself just fine. But having an AI come up custom playlists is another thing entirely.
If they did could we use the Twitter bird or Tesla logo all we wanted? I mean yeah let’s get rid of all IP law but get rid of it for everyone. If we want to copy a big corporation then yeah we should do that. Get rid of copyright and trademarks, woo! Publish all that hidden patented material so anyone can produce it. Let’s get creative. You think big corps will get on board with all this?
True. But for the most part I game on a Windows box. Most games don’t have Linux support and I don’t want to bother trying to run things through Wine. I have 2 seperate comps for Linux and Windows. I pretty much use my Windows computer for for gaming and blender because it has the better graphics card and processor.
Yeah I’ve found Reddit to be complicated at best. Kinda drama driven most of the time. So I tend to lose interest and just go there on occasion for tech related stuff. Even less so now.
