It’s about giving rabbits cancer so we can test new cancer drugs on them. Assuming we make that illegal, how do you propose new cancer treatments should be tested?
I’ve read an interview with a doctor who was outraged that at medical school he learned nothing about food and nutrition. Therefore he decided to go live for more than a year with indigenous people in Africa, and study them, taking blood samples. Conclusion : These people in Africa have no cancer at all but yet they do die (unlike in the West) because of other diseases because of no antibiotics. These people do hunt and with that getting physical exercise so to say. These people also fast sometimes because sometimes they simply have no food. This doctor, back in the West, now talks to his patients and asks them about their bad life style habits and he said that “we” in the West we do too little physical exercise, we eat too much and too often. We have an unhealthy life style. Fasten from time to time is good, it gives the body time to relax. So I would say : How about putting the insane millions spend on the massive medical industry in for example “sugar tax” and informing all people about a more healthy life style. Abolish McDonuts and B*rgerKing and KFC, and learn to not over eat. I’ve read that in the blue zones in Japan people have learned to eat for 80% instead of eating more than that.
This brings back some memories from years ago. Enlightenment was fairly popular at some point and I think the author “Rasterman” was employed at RedHat. Some Linux distribution may even have had it as the default ?
I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...
Many people probably won’t be bothered by these things, but I am. I don’t want to pay full price for something that I don’t truly own. I miss the familiarity. I miss the reliability. I miss feeling like it’s mine. Dependable. Trustworthy.
Picking my old guitar up again has never looked so appealing. I think I want to go back to investing more time, money, and energy into things that aren’t connected to the internet
I would not mind if LibreWolf would be based on Firefox ESR (Like Tor and Mullvad browser are). The speed of the amount of new features added to Firefox is something I can do without.
I like the out of the box experience of LibreWolf very much but it will not work well for all websites in my case. Luckily Firefox and LibreWolf can be installed and used at the same time without any issues.
I plugged into ethernet (as wifi w/captive portal does not work for me). I think clearnet worked but I have no interest in that. Egress Tor traffic was blocked and so was VPN. I’m not interested in editing all my scripts and configs to use clearnet, so the library’s internet is useless to me (unless I bother to try a tor...
I can imagine that the guy wants to secure his network and is maybe paranoid about people breaking in which seems fair to me, and after all computers and networks involve subtle power structures as described in BOFH. I guess the “now get of my lawn!” remark is a typical and “normal” remark in some states or regions of the USA. Someone from the UK or Ireland could made say instead “sod off!” to end a conversation they think deserved to be stopped.
