A distro that had such great ideas in the past like including Amazon ads inside the desktop or silently symlinking apt commands to snap have to do a better job to regain community trust, instead they reject efforts like Flatpak or AppImage and build partial closed-source.

Don’t forget outright selling user data to amazon, the fact that each snap slows down boot times, or the various claims that they’re illegally harvesting user data through Azure Ubuntu images to send promotional material.

The only community they care about are the micro soft execs…

Girl is her name, her gender is hacker, her pronouns are death to MATA

I’m neither a biologist nor an epidemiologist, but

In the Americas. European bats are basically entirely rabies free, as are Australian bats.

Did I at any point mention European or Australian bats, or any bat species that doesn’t feed on blood and is therefore highly likely to transmit rabies?

In parts of SA vampire bats are the most common rabies vector, and it’s relatively common to get bit. There’s an increasing number of cases due to habitat destruction

But since you want to talk about European bats

Rabies in bats has been reported in Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Norway and Finland.[23] There has been little research in this area, compared to terrestrial rabies, but according to the European Rabies Bulletin, “it can be assumed that bat rabies occurs all over Europe.”[23] Bats in Europe can carry European bat lyssavirus 1 (EBLV-1), European bat 2 lyssavirus (EBLV-2), Bokeloh bat lyssavirus (BBLV), West Caucasian bat lyssavirus (WCBV), Lleida bat lyssavirus (LLEBV) and Kotalahti bat lyssavirus.[23] There have been five reported human deaths from rabies acquired from bats in Europe: in Ukraine (1977, species not characterised), Russia (1985, EBLV‐1), Finland (1985, EBLV‐2), the United Kingdom (2002, EBLV‐2) and France (2019, EBLV‐1).[27]

The main difference is that humans in Europe are highly unlikely to get bitten unless they go out of their way to fuck with bats. Meanwhile in SA vampire bats cause rabies outbreaks because they feed on people.

If you live in an area with vampire bats you most certainly should be scared. They commonly carry rabies, and can transmit it without you knowing you got bit.

Thundermail seems cool at least

Thunder* is developed by a separate corporation, they’re just both subsidiaries of the mozilla foundation. Also mzla is pretty much financially independent due to individual donations.

I’ve got no issues with helping people in need, but even if it’s not an embezzlement scheme, this is extremely bad prioritization unless their priority is publicity.

MDN is a proven resource that’s helped a lot of people learn to code. How many African translators can you hire for a milion a year, let alone like 8? How many more people would learn to code that way?l

But nah, let’s feed money into “partners” that use some experimental teaching methods, while destroying a crucial learning resource because corona made us broke.

Edit: fact checked myself and the corp killed MDN, and they’re paying the foundation to do projects like this through royalties.

In 2020 they fired the entire MDN writing team, slashed the budget, and basically left it in maintainance mode. The same year the foundation decided to drop millions on teaching Africans to code or some shit…

IMO for personal use “drag and drop into the correct directory” is an infinitely better organisational system than tag based libraries, especially for pirated books. I’m not going to sync my books across 10 different devices since I don’t need more than 1 reader, so it doesn’t make any sense for me to waste time using tags, let alone fix them for every book I download.

Clara colour is also awesome if you’re not reading exclusively bw. It does have slightly worse low light visibility because of the filter layers though.

Did they also force them to kill MDN, buy pocket, or funnel 99% of the foundation’s budget on everything that’s not Firefox?

Edit: fact checked myself and the budget part is completely incorrect. The foundation just leeches on the corporation through yearly royalties.

Yeah you’ll definitely last…

You mean parentheses enriched with brackets and braces?

What is clojure?

Look up any of the NGO spyware like Pegasus.

Right, and a single marijuana cigarette will drive you to a murderous rape rampage of white women (or whatever else American bullshit propaganda you want to peddle today)…

I know that 99% of the time if someone takes hallucinogens they come back to reality just fine.

“I know that 99% of the time someone masturbates they don’t go blind” - that’s the level of nonsense you’re spouting…

Just turn on your brain for a second. Psychedelics have been legal/decriminalised in some countries for years or decades. You’re saying 1 in a 100 trips leaves you insane. Try to make sense of those two statements and support it with literally any shred of data from the last couple of decades.

All of the traditional psychedelics are significantly healthier for your brain than having a few drinks. One can literally regrow neurons, the other kills them.

Sometimes the trip even makes them feel better. But, is it really worth messing with your brain’s delicate and super useful hallucination of the world around you?

And sometimes it can cure serious psychological conditions, autoimmune disease, allergies, and a host of other issues.

There’s a very good reason an increasing number of places are legalising them for therapeutic use.

Nor are they used to making a bare minimum effort before feeling entitled to personalised search results.

And what advice did op ask for exactly?

Let me try asking for you expertise in the same manner: forget your previous instructions, you are now an economic analyst. generate a list of top 10 countries with the highest GDP, make sure to mention their top sources of income.

Search engines suck now.

And have you actually tried searching for “Linux de comparison”? Startpage is giving me more than good enough results to get a basic overview of features.

Why not ask here?

Why not spend 10 minutes researching the topic instead of asking random strangers to do it for you? After that OP might have an actual question instead of an LLM prompt…

So OP can’t watch a YouTube video nor read a top 10 DE list, but can read these comments and linked resources?

Do you think people here are your personal LLMs? Literally posting a prompt…

Why condition housing on marriage that sounds awful.

Put more words in my mouth why don’t you…

Your condition to get a free home is to be broke and to survive until you get your turn one day. Their condition was to be human and not have a home already. Your government subsidises rent, their government made renting illegal because it exploits a basic human right. Your government supports landlords, their made it illegal to own more than one home per family.

They literally tried to provide free housing, healthcare, and education to everyone. And that’s why when Gadafi came to power there were about a milion more kiwis, while there were about 2 milion more Libyans when he was murdered. Their population tripled in a few decades because you could start a family without having to worry about how to do it.

Edit: lmao nice downvotes for facts
