More like sweat holes, except for the UK. The UK is a pisshole. If I was Murican I would strongly consider trying out these places for like a year though. They simply aren’t as bad as the US.

This is not what I was saying.

True, but books about nutrition absolutely should cite the best available science.

UK, Germany, Canada and France have high homelessness rates. Partly because disability pay is low and healthcare costs are minimally made up for. Those in ill health may not be able to find work and land on the streets. These countries do nothing substantial like building housing and implementing pro-tenant reforms to stop it. This is not to say that healthcare is bad, I think healthcare must be socialised like postal services and the fire brigade, but it’s not at all straight forward.

This is not completely true the countries that have zeros have tons of people who are not covered. Take a look at the map on this website.

Even with single-payer healthcare, which is commonly considered optimal for understandable reasons, hospitals, clinics and other services may be privatised and or are subject to severe budget cuts.

Why?

Personally ordered by Loomer

Purchase pre-LLM era physical books on foraging, cooking, home and auto repair, electronics, child care, etc.

Get E-books released right around 2022 (but not after) on Anna’s Archive if your money is low. It’s important that the info is somewhat fresh. A lot has changed since the 1980s

Source? And if that is the case, the developing that’s been done has been in a useful direction. I honestly don’t understand how Hyprland, which will always be niche if there are no fundamental additions made to it, is getting a ton of money while Asahi is still stuck at Apple M 2 chips.

Look, all developed countries, with only a few exceptions, experience declining fertility. This lack is partially made up for up by immigration. However it’s not occurring at a rate that creates strain on the systems you have mentioned. Numbers are indeed still declining, albeit slowly.

This leaves us with a very different sort of structural change. If target countries are not bursting at their seams – which I would argue is ostensible, then why is there a supply-side issue in regards to basic services? Could it be that, for example, deskilling and austerity measures have something to do with this? I leave it up for you to determine cause and effect.

Yeah, these meanies were violent against poor Elbit Systems machinery

Apparently this guy is Abdul El-Sayed’s opponent

If I kill someone without them noticing I would not be a murderer by that logic.

This is a non-sequitur. Israel is a colonial project forced upon the Levant by Britain and the US. The places crying most about immigration have historically been the most egregious colonisers. Man made climate change is scientifically well-established, the concept of human races along with the idea that some groups of h. sapiens are by virtue of geographical origin deleterious to another, are both misconceptions.

Scientists don’t oppose climate change because it goes against a state of nature, they oppose it because it very concretely threatens livelihoods, which can not be said about immigration.

Demographics change. No use crying about stupid borders on a map.

You know who needs that money? Open hardware projects, everything around LoRa, projects that promote tech literacy, programs for accessibility, the Linux Foundation itself, list goes on. What needs it the least? An ass arch install with pre-installed programs.

Hostile takeover of Linux, resist with full force!

you could also say: everything is a commodity from which maximum profit is extracted without killing the consumers and producers all too quickly

well sometimes very quickly in the case of war lol

Why are we not seeing that with speakers or glasses? Or headphones? There are smart speakers that blast ads when used with the “correct” software. That’s been the case since before 2016, but it’s not how things generally are. But I still have my ad-free headphones, ad-free computer, ad-free so on and so forth electronic devices. Nobody knows how libre hardware and infrastructure will advance in the next ten years. Removing ads from a smart monitor, should the tech ever happen to gain dominance, will be as easy as connecting a USB C cable and hitting ‘flash’ on a website.

This belief that everything will turn into a dystopia is as unfounded and unrealistic as the belief that life 10 years from now will be utopian. Just because a news outlet spins up a story does not mean it’s going to be the direction things are headed.

TVs have always been standalone products that do more than just display an image. Monitors on the other hand serve only this purpose.
