Risug is in trials forever.

It’s very likely to have been
deliberately held back for decades now
by a true conspiracy and for petty reasons.

My bad, I meant @Sandouq_Dyatha
Aren’t we on Lemmy.ml?

1. Vasectomies (+ birth control pills)
2. animal testing for human research.
3. I’m sure that anyone working in a hospital can cough up a few dozen more.

RISUG has been invented in 1978,
is reversable, cheaper, zero side effects,
and with so far 0% failure rate when implemented properly,
Vasalgel, an improvement on RISUG by having a longer shelf-life,
has been invented around 2015.

So this stuff has been invented in the same year as the first Star Wars movie,
had gone through all trials multiple times with flying colors,
and instead we use knives and pills with large side effects.

If any invention could be been ubiquitous in use at a much earlier stage,
then this would be it.
It could and should have been widely used by the 1980’s.

For animal testing we have 3D printed human tissue.
So why test on animals if your question is “Does this stuff work on human tissue?”
The answer you’ll be getting is whether or not it works on mice.
Mice are not human.

I’m going with @Sandouq_Dyatha here and say that you are not all international elite spies.
And it’s not that “countries I don’t like manipulate their GDP”.
It’s more that GDP measurements, including the PPP kind, are fundementally flawed and that’s by design.
China is around 2.5 times the economy of the US at this moment by looking how much they are manufacturing
and how much electricity they use, surpassing the EU per person.

Arch is better because…

• pacman, seriously, I don’t hear enough of how great pacman is.
  Being able to search easily for files within a package is a godsend when some app refuses to work giving you an error message “lib_obscure.so.1 cannot be found”.
  I haven’t had such issues in a long time, but when I do, I don’t have to worry about doing a ten hour search, if I’m lucky, for where this obscure library file is supposed to be located and in what package it should be part of.
• rolling release. Non-rolling Ubuntu half-year releases have broken my OS in the past around 33% of the time. And lots of apps in the past had essential updates I needed, but required me to wait 5 months for the OS to catch up.
• AUR. Some apps can’t be found anywhere but AUR.
• Their wiki is the best of all Linuxes

The “cult” is mostly gushing over AUR.

No, Gentoo is the hardest.

the wiki and forums are the best of any distro

If you don’t participate in it that is.
If you veer only a little off of their strict rules,
then Arch forum will ban you and they won’t allow you to even read the forum.

Unity would be the first example, and although Unity was actually a good DE,
it was too bloated and almost non-modifiable.

People jumped ship to Linux Mint that had its priorities straight.

Mir and Snap were bigger issues though
as Wayland and Flatpak were great replacements for
X11 and AppImage and did not need another competitor.

But the privacy issues were the straw that broke the camel’s back.
People left windows for linux so they wouldn’t have to deal with this kind of nonsense.

I actually jumped when Ubuntu jumped to Gnome 3.
Gnome 3 was too bloated for me and it looked ugly.

I decided to see what Arch Linux was about
and eventually settled for Manjaro Linux.
Arch + Xfce for the win.

Who is Trump? Is that the same person as Mr. Orange, aka Oraanutan-san?

• Apps not available in distro repositories
• Apps with dependency conflicts

So dumb people who can’t do multiplications, but can count months, won’t panic.

On a more serious not, most people skim the headline, read “three times” and think
“Wow! There’s some work to do!” instead of
“Twelve times!? Then Russia is winning. Wait, Russia is winning?
Why is this newspaper not stating that Russia is winning?
There’s no way Ukraine can win with one bullet versus twelve.
Shouldn’t this be a giant issue?
Why is there no giant debate on this?
Why is my newspaper demanding a debate on this?
Should Ukraine even continue to risk sending its soldiers to fight a war
where the enemy has twelve times the amount of ammo?”

Oligarchs and their bootlickers

Boomers = 1950-1964
Gen X = 1965-1979
Gen Y = 1980-1994
Gen Z = 1995-2009
Gen α = 2010-2025

So ages

18-29
30-44
45-59
60+

Georg Hub, is that you?

As long as you don’t use any of the windows and use the front door like my pet penguin, I won’t mind.
And there’s a kernel of truth in there and by that I don’t mean the kernel of an apple.

I don’t think that’s bold.
It’s already at 25% last month and 50+% in China.

US/UK/EU/AU/NZ Media:

“Taiwan is freedom and democracy.”
“China is authoritarian. (Shows footage of police retaliating against ultra-aggressive Hong Kong rioters or journalists doing reporting on the middle of a busy road or someone’s garden before being ushered away by traffic cops or security)”

Done.

I’m going to agree with you here.
I put Mandami left of center until I rethought
on what I often see and hear from the center-left,
and words often used by the left.

“I don’t think we should have billionaires” sounds very much left-wing to me,
rather than center-left.

Well, when I look at the party’s stances of my country I see a pattern in terms of type of language used,
so maybe one can use that to model how right or left wing one is instead of using some arbitrary
policy like gun laws as a measuring tool.

Hmmmm… those are articles about him.

Does Zoltan have a written election program?
Perhaps by the tone of language I might be able to better tell on what wavelength Mandami is,
compared to the Dutch political parties.

Although I will have to adjust the translation a bit,
to retain the type of language used,
so for example I adjust the translation
in order to keep the language strong,
where strong language is used.

I’ll post an example…

Extreme/Far-right stance on housing (first paragraph)

Our housing crisis keeps getting worse and worse.  
While the Constitution tells us that the government must provide a sufficient amount of housing,  
the reality is that an increasing number of Americans can't afford a roof over one's head.  
This US government completely failed.
