I live there

Black chain is dead. No one cares anymore

San Francisco is not actually clothing optional. Full nudity is mostly illegal. You have to cover the genitals

What does that mean? You want them to just throw out data that they don’t like?

I run arch and use the KDE beta package repo. Literally no problems. No idea what everyone is talking about here.

Also than*

I mean, there is no legal reason that Biden could not just put forth more candidates for the supreme court, right now.

This is the context of the thread. The size of the court is a law. It’s not just something biden can “put judges forward”

Approval to what? There are no open seats

What does this even mean? Put them forward where?

Did you just not question my post or are you just intentionally not answering it?

What freedom do you have that you think this is infringing on?

You really don’t see the answer to this or are you just being intentionally ignorant. Would you feel the same way if the government banned lemmy?

This means, that there isn’t that much testing before the release. This can cause lots of problems for the end user.

Lol you’re buying into the FUD. ubuntu doesn’t test every possible combination of packages, nor do they test how updates actually impact the user. Generally updates are always good for users. They fix bugs. 99% of the time someone comes to a linux forum asking about an issue, the answer is “this was fixed in the latest kernel, try updating”. But because they’re using distros that use ancient, 3 year old kernels, they can’t.

Unless you have a staging computer where you stage your updates, you’re living in an illusion about “stability”, and using ancient tools with ancient bugs for no reason

Arch has an installer script now. It’s literally 1 command and you get a fully working system

I haven’t had an arch update break shit in almost a decade.

Steam is not in the AUR. Arch’s main repos have way more than Ubuntu and Debian. And then the aur is a better alternative to installing from source or doing other hacks

The arch wiki is the gold standard for Linux, not just arch. But it definitely talks specifically about arch.

So, there are built in install scripts now. There’s no GUI installer, but it’s 1 command to get a full arch setup installed with a desktop environment. Arch is a 100% reasonable choice for a new user.

I checked. You people are week. But anyway apparently it’s a crypto thing now. What a time to be alive

Untrained people shouldn’t be self-diagnosing based on hearing a list of symptom

This is literally what everyone does. How else would it possibly even work? “Oh shit you mean my foot numbness is a symptom of diabetes?”. Like, this is just how human interaction works.

And I don’t expect any one doctor to know of every treatment that exists for every illness, because that’s what collaborative knowledge bases are for. A carefully moderated medical Wikipedia that can be contributed to by doctors and researchers

What does this have to do with what we’re talking about. Are you saying that the doctor should just input every symptom that every patient gives them to a medical Wikipedia? Because otherwise how would they know of new drugs? They may think they know exactly how to treat whatever symptom, but if they’re not continually looking it up very single time, they’ll miss new meds.

But all of this wouldn’t make the pharmesutical companies as much money as peddling to hypochondriacs so instead we have ads.

What you described is not even remotely a solution to the actual problem of 1. people not knowing their symptoms are potentially from a disease that has a treatment. and 2. doctors knowing that treatment exists

This is a terrible take. Advertising medicine makes a ton of sense. People don’t always know what symptoms are actually something that has a cure. They see an ad for a drug and think “oh shit, I have those symptoms, let me go the to doctor”. Otherwise they just live with what they think is normal.

But further, DOCTORS don’t even know what new drugs exist. Patients advocating for themselves is a HUGE benefit. So a patient might come in and ask for a drug that the doctor has never even heard of so never would have even considered prescribing it even if it was the right drug.
