OSI was literally started by the leeching megacorps (look at their list of sponsors this is not some grand conspiracy) to shame people away from creating more fair licenses.

They are already angry enough that they had to consider AGPL as open source because it meets all their criteria.

70k? Just hire in Poland/Czechia/Slovakia for 50% off!

Unless by Europe you mean the Apple feature availability special of UK/Germany/France/Spain/Italy

Not every case of sleep apnea is obstructive. With central sleep apnea no amount of weight loss, surgery and repositioning will fix the problem.

For anyone downvoting this: look into how many people are currently infected. Compare that to early 2020.

Yes, the people who were prone to dying already did so years ago. But the rate of long term disability in every single country is skyrocketing.

The average person has had 4.7 covid infections by now. Now look into the literal thousands of studies of long term effects of that.

Future generations will never forgive us for throwing them under the bus.

Gastroparesis is literally the method of action of GLP1 agonists. It slows gastric motility. Gastroparesis is literally slowed motility of the stomach (where 20% of food stays in your stomach after 4 hours). It doesn't matter why, that is the literal diagnostic criteria, ergo it literally causes gastroparesis.

I'm sure the brain damage that COVID still causes (there are 3x more cases this year than in 2020, fun fact) is more of a danger to kids than staying home.

It's like people forgot about the Amazon stores being an army of cheaply paid third world labour disguised as revolutionary technology.

Well, you just didn't look hard enough, this is from literally the last thread about Asahi before this one. Pretty much every single post about Asahi Linux on HN has transphobic comments.

Ah yes the totally unbiased OSD made by companies wanting to exploit free labor like Amazon.

I dislike prescriptivist language. I will continue calling things open source whenever I can see the source code, no matter the license.

There really is no natural solution if you are taking medication that increases your weight. Kinda disproving your own example there.

"Just one more therapist bro" is what defenders of modern psychology use. It is always your fault the therapist didn't work out. Always your fault you aren't trying hard enough. There can never be systemic issues.

There was more covid this summer than any summer before. Millions are disabled with long covid. The severity of an infection has barely anything do with outcomes.

LinusTechTips literally built their own video hosting site - Floatplane - exactly for this reason, to have a backup in case YouTube nukes their channel.

They literally temporary induce gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying), that is why some people may vomit food they ate 2-3 days ago.

Fun fact: this side effect can become permanent, even if you stop taking the drug!

If you had COVID (which you definitely had) you are now immune compromised. You can test your cell immunity to see this (CD3+CD4- and such). I had AIDS-level immunity after my infection. This resolves within 2 years, usually, unless you are constantly getting reinfected due to this lower immunity and not taking any precautions like masking.

That is false, you only consent by your explicit action - clicking "accept". If you inspect element and remove the consent popup entirely, you have not consented.

Let me be the first one then - I am fully content on living in a 40-60m2 space with my partner and two cats. Considering we never lived in anything bigger this size is perfect for us, easy to clean and still enough space to live.
