See what I meant when I expected the Australian government to do something over those protests? I guess it did make me feel good about myself after all

Pretty sure I had Embrace Extend Extinguish as my ‘status’ when microsoft inevitably introduced that linkedin style social media bullshit to a git server.

Plenty of good alternatives out there, or roll your own!

There has to be someone without to create the demand for capitalism to work, I totally support what you’re saying and in a perfect world those people wouldn’t suffer but there is still an imbalance of power between capitalists and workers and that tension means both sides have to be perpetually hyper vigilant in protecting their own interests against each other.

Mind you, I don’t think communism is a good system either; humanity should be considering new forms of governance given our technological advancements have solved a lot of problems that these systems initially intended to.

Anyway that’s my perspective, appreciate you asking for an elaboration hopefully it’s some food for thought even if you don’t agree with me.

I disagree capitalism requires a bottom class that has to suffer for it to function, that makes it an inherently bad system regardless of government intervention.

Huh TIL, had a look through my system and it sits at about ~5GB not including disk cache. Been on Fedora KDE since 39 and have put it through its paces so I’m pretty happy with that

I would’ve reformatted windows twice in that time because of bloat accumulation, and like you said there’s always room for improvement with hyper minimalist packages.

God I love Linux.

I support this kind of protest, but let’s not get this twisted: this is only happening to make people feel better about themselves,

I went to this protest, I don’t expect Israel to do anything in response except call me an anti-semite. I do however, expect the Australian government to listen to it’s consitutents and take a hard stance against this fascist regime.

Linux also uses a lot of ram for disk caching, it’s flagged as a form of available memory so there’s no performance overheard for this.

Oh shit PS5 has no games?

How did the cat garden end up going?

“Ahh I’m being thrown to the wolves after joining a foreign legion!”

Man signed up for the one position ranked below cannon fodder, ooft. Sorry bud you’ve got two options now:

1. Die

2. Be abandoned in Ukraine after the war ends

Let’s not forget that as much of an idiot this man is, he has been let down by a failed educational system and a behemoth propaganda machine.

Cigarettes have a myriad of carcinogens like toluene, benzene, formadelhyde, hexamine, napthaline and acetone

Stating that vapes are more toxic than cigarettes over one metric is disingenuous journalism.

I’m not disagreeing about the lead content but studies like this get picked up by journalists with the comprehension of a tomato and are then misconstrued into these fear-creating headlines for engagement.

The adoption of vapes tremendously ate into the big tobacco profits, its an extremely effective way of getting off cigarettes. (for better or worse)

If we instead listened to these studies and developed a similar form of nicotine replacement therapy with harm minimisation in mind under industry regulation we’d do far more for smokers, vapers and our healthcare systems than any fear mongering ‘don’t do it!’ campaigns which time and time again do not work.

If you read the paper, it assumes a 100% absorption rate of the heavy metals emitted.

I’m not here to defend vapes but I think that is a seriously overlooked flaw in this study. Most people don’t puff a cigarette/vape and hold it in their lungs until it’s completely absorbed.

Couldn’t see anything about the bioavailability of these carcinogens via lungs factored into the absorption rate either.

Ontop of that the sample size from this study is abysmal and from the same manufacturer and there is also a declared conflict of interest.

IMO more studies need to be done before we can conclusively determine the damage and risks of disposable vapes.
