Scientists develop game-changing vaccine against Lyme disease ticks

Reply in thread

This is an idiotic argument. Lyme disease can cause extensive and chronic suffering. A cold is rarely fatal, but if you were going to live for a year with one, you’d probably be miserable.

Anything that can make a positive change in our lives should be regarded as exactly that. Yes, there are other problems out there, but sometimes we need to invest into smaller ones to better how we are able to deal with the larger ones. Disease research and study is a perfect example of this, as better understanding builds a pathway to future successes.

Why aren’t motherboards mostly USB-C by now?

Reply in thread

Not to mention the numerous amount of accessories that use USB-A. My keyboard, mouse, and flash drives all use USB-A.

In my cable collection, odds are that if a cable has USB-C on one end, then either USB-A or C is on the other end. That means every other connector still requires USB-A or a dongle.

USB-A‘s longevity (~20 years) basically ensures that until it’s much cheaper to use USB-C, it won’t replace USB-A.

Tinkering and Stability

Removing bloat doesn’t necessarily make things unstable. I remove all the games from my KDE Plasma installs. The primary mistake that can occur in removing non-essential programs is ignoring the list of programs that this is a dependency of or also removes.

Apple removes app created by Andrew Tate

I feel like your negative opinion of censorship is so strong that it overpowers your morality. Would you let a serial killer walk around shouting that we should kill everyone just for the sake of preventing censorship, or would you insist they’re locked up? See, even you have your limit.

Its a less extreme example, but the same logic applies here. We shouldn’t just let misogyny grow for the sake of ‘freedom’. That’s how you end up with stuff like the Nazis. Classic bystander mentality.

help with jailbreaking

**There’s no jailbreak for iPhone 13 on iOS 16.0 yet. ** You can check jailbreak status here: link The discord server also will let you know when jailbreaks are released: link You’re lucky to be on iOS 16.0 as you’ll have access to both MDC and KFD exploits. These give some of the jailbreak functionality. You’ll want to install Sidestore (to sideload apps) and Cowabunga (to remove 3 app limit) to get access to tweak functionality.
