  • These hemorrhagic-fever like outbreaks (like Ebola and Marburg) usually don’t spread too far because of how dramatic the symptoms are and of how quickly they usually kill patients: here “death occurs within just 48 hours of the onset of symptoms”.

    “However, here, it is concerning that we have hundreds of cases and over 50 deaths, with hemorrhagic-fever like symptoms widely reported among those cases.” - Michael Head. Current estimate of a “fatality rate of 12.3 percent” is of course a major problem locally, tho that % could be completely wrong.

    If there are few or no asymptomatic carriers, and the incubation is period is short, then it’s unlikely to be like COVID-19.

    Bird flu is still big concern - and potentially the solution to omnicidal anthropogenic climate change.





  • It used to be mostly smoking; now it’s mostly eating animal products and processed food, and poor sleeping. The advice given for decades is still valid: only whole-plant food and water, lots of exercise, and proper sleep.

    Possible reasons listed in article:

    • obesity,
    • metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high serum triglycerides, and low serum high-density lipoprotein),
    • added sugar,
    • processed food,
    • ultra-processed foods,
    • consistently high blood glucose,
    • insulin resistance,
    • change in sleep patterns (children sleeping less, shift work and artificial light),
    • microplastics,
    • antibiotics.




  • It may mean the user doesn’t think their use is similar enough to the people who make the distro/DE, or trust the distro makers’ decision making ability.

    If a distros’ makers think snaps are a good idea, or that the distro shouldn’t by default show available security updates, or have a UI that hides how many open instances there are of a program unless you hover over an icon, or hides the titles of those open programs, or hides panels; then the way I use a PC is too different from the way they do - and there are likely more things in the background that we disagree with which can’t as easily be changed like UI settings.
