  • Yeah I’m sure someone who doesn’t think much could definitely watch the show and come away thinking vaccines are dangerous, but that’s not the angle it pulls. It relies on there being only one vaccine manufacturer, that everybody takes it, and that nobody outside the scheme actually tests the vaccine.

    Of course in the real world multiple companies manufacture the same vaccine and they’re tested by numerous organisations, so it falls apart pretty quickly.

    Still a good show though.





  • I like it, but I’m not exactly a power user and the only other distros I’ve used are Ubuntu and mint. I think if you want a Debian based distro that’s not tied to Ubuntu then Mx is a good choice. I know there’s LMDE too but as far as I know that’s only available with cinnamon, so Mx having KDE plasma is nice too.

    There’s the whole sysvinit Vs systemd but I don’t have a dog in that fight and enabled systemd, which Mx makes very easy even though they advise against it.









  • Netflix and Disney+ are the only two left. I used to also have Amazon Prime and Spotify but I was able to cut out Prime early last year and just within the last few weeks I cut out Spotify after using it continuously since 2009.

    I’m trying to de-stream my media, and I would very much like to own the actual files legitimately instead but I think everything is so reliant on streaming these days it can be really difficult to buy DRM-free movies or TV shows. For music I get it from Bandcamp, so I am very appreciative of that. What can’t be acquired legitimately… cough


  • They must have been really desperate to make that jab because “slipping up” has been a common phrase for decades (at least in the UK). So the “up” has been dropped and we’re left with “slipping”, if it takes a native English speaker more than ten seconds to work it out I’d be worried for their cognition.
