mpv does that too
I am allowing this (this is technically schadenfreude, something we have banned) for now, mostly because this is like a reeeeeeeally stupid thing. I may change opinion if other mods/community members chime in and suggest otherwise.
well i agree with you. will de deleting the post
I have serious question - does this count as party politics?
I am happy kimmel is back, and I am not a us citizen and do not understand much, but as i get it, they just put back because of backlash. also something something they were being investigated for monopoly because of some merger, so they were trying to "obey" harder.
it is an evolution in several senses. one is a more modern language. this in of itself is not useful, but in this case, rust ecosystem provides a lot of good libraries to use. so instead of depending on glibc or some other library, or hand rolling your own stuff, you can statically compile in good libs. this allows for potentially leaner code.
At some places they are intentionally deviating from gnu variant, for example, uu-cp,mv have a -g graphical flag, which gnu variants did not accept in, because they consider themselves feature complete.
I have pull requests against uutils so I’m by no means anti-Rust or against the project
(i read this part later, and just noow realising you are a better dev then me, and thank you).
But I personally would not replace coreutils with it.
feel free to do as you like.
that notice “please read the rule posts or sidebar description.”
i added that. not the feature to piefed, but the warning.
I am confused more than ever: almost every single one of those seems negative to me!
almost all of them are negative without reasons, they should be deleted imo.
(edit after writing) - imo these 2 should stay. while negative, they add something to chatter. they are not just yelling and atleast saying some sensical sentences ( i am not commenting on their validity here)
It’s very sad to see hype like this. They only had 30 enrolled, this was just a safety study, and while the data looks promising, there is certainly not enough statistical power, which is why there is no approval yet. Shame on the BBC. If you are going to quote invesigators, you should state that they have paid consultancy deals with UniQure. The same two people were equally excited about a Roche therapy years ago… But UniCure stock went up 200% today, which is the point.
Actually, you’ve missed the mark. It’s not whining about an advancement, it’s legitimate criticism of the US health industry. He’s just saying what we all know to be true which is that regardless of technological improvements, lifesaving care will continue to be ruinously expensive for those that are able to access it and gatekept from many others. If you have a problem with comments like these undermining celebration of scientific progress, then maybe you should think about the structural political issues that lead people to disillusionment and cynicism rather than labeling people as conspiracy theorists.
(edit over)
but there are more sensible negative comments (search miracle drug in this very page). there negative comment was necessary.
I doubt that there are any truly actual children on the Threadiverse
if we are law/tos abiding citizens there should be none (something something, uk child safety law - much of fediverse "decided" to make our platform adult only).
Also I did not mean that this should be kid friendly news. What i meant was that in spirit, we should only post something here which i feel is okay to show to some "child" (hypothetical). This idea was brought up around schadenfreude ban where thought is simple - someone getting harmed is bad. but if in front of a kid you get happy if a bad person gets hurt, they are confused - we taught them that getting harmed is bad. this is is where child friendly idea originated.
definitely using WAAAAY too many words
nah, i do not mind reading words. when online, i usually do not read long stuff, partly due to time constraints, othertimes i have the feeling of ai slop. if i know someone who has written stuff by spending time, least i can do is read (and/or respond), even if we disagree. I like to have my online conversation similar to how i would have them irl.
the people who have to do the clean-up I really do feel like should get the highest say in the matter.
when i was not the mod, i had more respect for mods. now i have a tad bit less. a good mod's responsibility is to make good rules, and show some examples. if done correctly, people respect them, and do most of moderation (by voting/reporting). Most of the time my job is to check if there are any reports today, what was posted, and mildly skim through post and comments (which i would have done regardless of being mod or not, as i only try to mod stuff i am interested in). I am not saying all moderation is easy, but my experience with this community (especially after the bad news ban) has been really easy.
And THAT is an uplifting thing!:-D
<3
I would argue that false news should be banned, so if you agree then… good.
it is already banned. we banned it alongside schadenfreude.
Similarly, if you do not want to participate in this “safe space” that blocks out negativity, then nobody is forcing you to
we are not allowing negative stuff. the argument is more of - we are making a safe space (or already have a safe space). should we allow people to debate/refute within it, or should we just keep ignoring those comments (that is what i have been doing as a mod) or delete them.
once people are done taking a break from the “real(-istic) news”
i atleast do not want the positivity too high for it to not feel real. for example, recent post on hiv drug, discussion of vaccine being 28000 in us, or possiblity to make it in 40$ elsewhere. it is not a positive bit. it is a informative bit. we are also realising that medicine in us is fucked, but there is hope of cheaper meds. we are still being real and positive. I deally this community should be such that we should get most news of world, so we do not have to "go back to reality".
that is simply not what this community is about though?
that is for us (as in the community members) to decide in this post. there should be a healthy amount of reality dose. we will not yell "people are dying in so and so place" under everynews, but we should still say - hey this bit of positive news, it has so and so additional notes, where x and y problems are real. without being all dystopian.
hopefully in a (relatively) friendly manner without having created too much in the way of negativity:-)
you have kept your points perfectly. these are the kinds of things we still want to keep. we could debate, without ever being personal. we both kept our points (imo you did better than me), and we may disagree but we still did not make this community "not uplifting".
My vision (not that it matters much) for this comm is that it is news which is worth sharing with youngling. not cope, but not dystopic. we do not want our kids to only know horrors of the wsorld, but we do not want them to be delusional. We give them honest news, more the good ones, but still tell them about the problems. So they still strive to make the world better.
I am sorry, i should have not made comment before knowing fully. i did not really mean placebo part, but i rember reading the wiki page and it said mixed results. I am not saying it does nothing, but it seemingly is not a miracle drug. thanks for correcting
speaking as a indian - the reason that this is possible because we kinda ignore medical patents and formulations. (using kinda because i do not know the exact wording in law and the cooldown period).
It should also tell you about the cost of ingredients and manufacturing vs the costs you pay for "rnd for big companies" (who often build upon work done by universities which often are run by public fundiing)
echoing the sentiment of fellow mod Aatube (they also made a comment, but i can not mark their comment as "Distinguish as moderator comment", so just linking and copying the statement) - we are not discussing insta bans or perma bans. we would have warnings and temporary bans. perma bans are extremely rare.
