In the Cambridge International AS and A Level coursebook it says that there is scientific evidence for acupuncture.

I try to follow truth whenever it leads, I guess the closest was when I was younger and wanted dragons to be real, but I didn’t really believe it.

Acupuncture isn’t a pseudoscience, anyway, it’s science. It has been actually proved to work.

Nazism was the ideology of the Nazi party in 1930s Germany, and Fascism was the ideology of Italy under Mussolini. The main difference was that Nazism had more of an emphasis on racial purity and racism, whereas fascism was more focused on totalitarian, authoritarian control.

In the context of insulting a modern day extreme right wing person though, they’re pretty much synonymous.

As a neutral observer, it doesn’t seem to me that you’ve really tried.

Unfortunately free speech is under threat from people across the political spectrum who don’t seem to realise that if they can censor opinions they find displeasing, others can censor their opinions too.

I don’t get the meme, but is the title in reference to the latest Ryan George video?

From Wikipedia:

In many countries, suicide rates are underreported due to social stigma, cultural or legal concerns.[3] Thus, these figures cannot be used to compare real suicide rates, which are unknown in most countries.

China Asia 6.7

North Korea Asia 8.2

South Korea Asia 21.2

And it didn’t list numbers for Taiwan

Android technically uses the Linux kernel, but is not GNU+Linux, and has had all the good parts of Linux taken out. I didn’t know iOS was based on Linux, but it’s even worse than Android, locks you so much into Apple’s services and spending money. Freedom over your device is the point of Linux, and iOS fails at that even more than Android, at least with Android you can install custom ROMs.

That’s really interesting, because I’ve had a very different experience. Almost anything I wanted to do could be done through a GUI, which looks pretty.

I’m not sure how Android and iOS relate, they are mobile OSs, and both have their flaws, although some more than others.

I agree with this philosophy, but I was wondering what sort of content would be posted to this community?

I never see Fedora recommended enough, but it’s really good for beginners. And by that I mean people new to computers, not just Linux. GNOME is a good looking by default, intuitive to use, simple DE.

I don’t use a VPN, and haven’t got a letter from my ISP in all the years I’ve been pirating.

You think they don’t have backups?

Flatpaks let me isolate app files and disable permissions, RPMs give me greater access to the system files.

Please don’t. I like having options, sometimes RPMs are useful, sometimes Flatpaks are useful. Let me choose.

You can’t seriously mean that. There’s good stuff happening all the time, the lockdowns in COVID (even if the MPs were hypocrites, the legislation itself was good), adding LGBT+ awareness to PSHE for all state schools, pledging even more money to the NHS, free school meals, the ULEZ Zone.

Just because there’s also plenty of bad stuff, and lots of progress to still be made, doesn’t mean they don’t do anything good.

The corporations should just be taxed twice as heavily on it, reducing tax isn’t the answer to prevent corporations buying up the farms. As they don’t die, corporations should just have to pay ‘inheritance’ tax every 50 years.

Why should farmers be exempt from inheritance tax that applies to everyone else? It’s a method of wealth redistribution, not just income distribution, it’s actually quite socialist, and one of the only such measures in our system.

Millionaire farmers driving around in their tractors protesting that when they die, their wealth shouldn’t be redistributed to any degree is pathetic.

Have you tried Fedora GNOME? Looks pretty nice to me, and the UI is powerful and intuitive as well as attractive.
