Is universal healthcare why hiv is spreading rampantly and the life expectancy is at the bottom half of the world, one of the lowest for a developed country?

There is universal healthcare and a working social sytem in theory, not in practice. That doesn't even account for the loss of life from the way where over a million are, avoidable, dead. They aren't values, they just churn them like meat to grind.

People are seeking to flee Russia, not move there.

Yes, Russia is famous for its safety standards and care for her peoples welfare.

He definitely has the intelligence of a plant.

I think it’s less about changing, more about being mindful of how you affect others and what you can do about that.

Sure, if you’re incompatible, best to recognise that, but sometimes habits or attitudes that aren’t part of your identity can be avoided or tempered.

It would depend on the context. The response depends on who is asking, their openness to learn and the reason for the statement. In isolation, it appears inflammatory rather than factual. It can be both.

Yep, eu is predictable and stable. America is not. Stable allies are better. Weak subordinates are easier to control. So, what’s good for USA is t what’s good for uk.

My feeling is that if there was an unfair advantage due to hormones or genetics, or would seem unfair to peak athletes. However, there appears to be none or minimal. It seems that most elite athletes have genetic or other advantages is some way, as you alluded to with racial differences.

However, that aside, when we look at the purpose of sport, fun, exercise, community, human achievement; the exclusion of trans people undermines that and disappoints far more people. So for me, it's a no brainer. Inclusivity wins out as that's what protects the most kids (and people) from harm.

Lol, no they don't. Some do, but many don't.

For games like golf, up until relatively recently, women weren't even allowed to be club members.

Let's not rewrite history.

You mean Spain and Sweden that pushed to recognise genocide and Palestinian statehood? That kind of power? Germany has deep guilt about WW2. Israel has outsized influence but not the owned politicians like in the USA.

Maybe he's moonwalking.

Or telling someone stupid to be more clever, as the case may be.

In what way do you think Bitcoin adoption has increased? I still don't see it's use for transfers nor as a safe value store. It's used as an investment strategy, yes, but not based on any fundamentals apart from market sentiment.

I don't know if the value drop this time is permanent. What o know is that I don't foresee Bitcoin being a replacement for global currencies. I think the digital euro has more of a chance of that happening.

Bitcoins value increase from mining is what made it popular. That is no longer the case. The hope is that as mining ceases it becomes non inflationary as the number is finite.

That whole proposition is based on Bitcoin being the primary store of value. If the rest of the world continues to have currencies which are inflationary, then the price of Bitcoin will represent its value in dollar terms, as it does now. So as the dollar depreceates, the value of Bitcoin in dollar terms should rise. No different to how the equivalent euro or gold does now. So it's not a magical hedge.

 

When I go to a post with video media, on iPad, there doesn't seem to be a way to exit. For images, they can be swiped away or touch outside to exit. For videos, ice tried different gestures and there is no back button or X.

I use Android daily, with a back swipe gesture, but there is no such gesture I'm aware of on iPad. Does anyone know how or should I submit a bug or feature request?

 

I’m trying to set containers for some websites on a shared windows terminal with multiple users under the same login. We use some cloud software and each user has their own log in. Manually opening websites in container manager allows this, but I’m struggling to do so for opening in container for the home page.

Each log in just launches in the default container (unassigned). I’ve tried using bookmark tree, which seems to support containers, but I can’t get it to work. Assigning a site to always open in a container doesn’t seem to work either as it’s the same site for multiple users (which seems to be the purpose of multi account container), so if it always opens in container A, person B still needs to manually open in their container.

 

I just recently got the 190 update pushed. It mentioned lots of fixes. One was image handling.

I have found that now exiting an image is a bit slow or glitchy. A single gesture to go back does not exit and instead it needs two. Tapping an image instead still closes it but there is a delay that wasnt there before.

I'm on a pixel 7pro with gesture navigation.

 

My phone coverage stopped for a period. I was using connect at the time and a comment failed. I initially thought it was a big but noted after restarting, it still was out. Then I checked with a test search to find it was all internet.

A few minutes later internet was back. Went back into Lemmy and refreshed. No data showing. I checked down-for-me for my instance and it was up. Refreshed again. No data.

Again restarted app and it was fine then. So, it seems he connection outage did not allow refresh after it came back, despite a restart during the outage.
