Insufferable FOSS/Linux nerds are ruining Lemmy.
The conservatives in Canada are switching people to a biosimilar insulin to save money. They save $2 per pen. The kicker? A vast majority of people are noticing that the biosimilar doesn’t work as good, and they need 2-3x more units to get the same effect.
Now I’m no mathematician, but there goes your $2 savings when someone is using 2-3x more pens than they were.
Meanwhile all conservatives want to privatize healthcare because they think Americans walk in, pay $100, and get seen within 5 minutes.
I try to tell them that they have the same wait times and pay thousands. At least in Canada we don’t leave the ER with a bill. They don’t listen, though.
If you’re leaving you don’t need to be there in the first place.
I went a couple months ago, waited 2 hours, and then was hospitalized for a week.
My girlfriend went 4 days ago. Waited 3 hours for stitches.
If you’re able to leave, you never should’ve come in the first place.
That’s interesting. My speed with Rogers ignite have been extremely stable.
I just hate the fact they increase my bill randomly and I have to call to get it lowered. Should be illegal, especially since I’m paying a criminal amount already.
Saw a bunch of these “peaceful” conservatives ripping pride flags from peoples hands. Especially that one nasty old witch ripping it out of a dudes lap from behind him, when he was sitting by himself on a wall.
Never saw the same from the other side.
Old CEO of Twitter is involved.
Usually when something turns to shit, and the original CEO leaves to create a similar product, people follow. With games, software, even hardware.
You mean Canadian landlords. I pay more for a town house in London Ontario than most people in Toronto 😂. Canada is fucked.
I think they deserve the same, too. 30+ years for both. Lets not lower the serial rapist sentence to match. Lets raise the vehicular homicide.
But if you copy/paste random commands from the internet and it breaks your distro you’re stupid.
But I’m not gonna tell you how to do it via GUI. So here, copy this terminal command.
The better analogy is 50K people are in a room, 80% of them are mute and deaf (they don’t comment so you can’t talk to them);10% have the complete opposite opinion and you don’t want to communicate with them; and the other 10% share your interests, but they are busy communicating with the other people. So at the end of the day you have 2% of people to converse with.
2% of people finding your posts, upvoting, and interacting with you. Not much.
Truth.
I try linux probably 2 times per year, every year, and at least hop between 5+ distros. Every time I run into issues, I ask the community, and I am completely shit on.
“Go back to microsoft you dumb fuck”. Like ok. Didn’t realize a distro completely nuking itself by me clicking update in the software manager was a me problem, but sure.
Every time you comment something like this, nice people come in and tell you how the Linux community is so accepting, followed by 30 comments telling you to kill yourself lmao.
I wonder why. You seem like a fine person who thinks forcefully having sex with multiple people without consent, potentially fucking them up for life mentally, and possibly physically, is only worthy of 3 years in prison.
Sounds like China and USA have similar priorities.
Meanwhile my girlfriend just got back from travelling around Europe and all of those “superior” countries, and couldn’t wait to get home.
Said everyone was rude, taxis scammed her frequently, the public transit was pretty subpar with no other choice, the food was pretty mediocre, she had to be extra careful about pick pocketers, and lastly she said everyone stunk so bad from perfume that she had a constant headache.
Canada isn’t perfect, but it does have a ton going for it.
On a related note, go fill out your donor card people. Even if you’re one of those “nobody will want my organs” type of people, do it anyways. The transplant people will figure out if your organs are viable when you no longer need them anymore. Let them figure that shit out for you. Just check the box to be a donor and don’t think about it any further.
and the stupid rumour about “the doctors will kill me to save 8 others” is bullshit. I am glad my donor signed. His wife said she didn’t want him to, but seeing me live because of his selflessness made her reconsider, and she tells everyone to be a donor.
This vaccine was so incredibly safe that it’s ridiculous that she chose to die rather than getting it.
Unlike the transplant meds. Pretty large increase for cancer from them.
Seems weird to refuse a COVID vaccine, but be fine swallowing a ton of meds every 12 hours that increases your risk of cancer significantly.
Obviously me and many others accept that increased risk, because like you said, the other outcome is just dying straight up.
In the end I’m glad the organ went to someone else who will respect and appreciate it.
I had a double lung transplant 6 years ago. You have to be EXTREMELY compliant to even get put on the list.
So many meds and tests and shit stuff you need to follow EXACTLY, every 12 hours, every day, for the rest of your life.
If you refuse a vaccine you’re never going to care for your new lungs. It’s not easy.
They should invent filters that you can put over your body parts that help stop transmission of COVID.
Just wait until you hear about what his brother wants to do. Privatize healthcare. And conservatives are jumping for joy about it.
Kinda weird that conservatives bitch non stop about a few bucks in taxes, but think paying $15,000 out of pocket for an x-ray is the way.
