Music labels sue Internet Archive over digitized record collection

Oh my god. Absolute dumbasses at the record companies actively trying to act evil. Barely anybody will stream these and it sure isn’t so malicious of the ‘store’ selling these records is doing it for free.

I mean how many people are actually going to buy these ever again? Also their damage claims are per usual pulled from the oceangate depths of their ass.

If anyone remembers when torrenting was big and the riaa was essentially claiming something like 20%+ of the US economy’s value in lost profits. These people don’t munch on crayons, but they really should start because it would be a more intelligent hobby to take up.

[db0] Reddit is a dead site running

Just waiting on some subs to start moving here. But yeah I’ve seen huge decreases even in the volume of posts. The quality of comments has also gone off a cliff. I think the most engaged users were a tiny subset.

Definitely lost the rational and measured discussion crowd although they were always shrinking as a percentage. It’s even more outrage and dumb hot takes now.

Scientists develop game-changing vaccine against Lyme disease ticks

Reply in thread

I suggest you read the research papers on Lyme and form your own decision too. The CDC is hardly comprehensive.

Like the fact that the infection can actually remain dormant and undetectable in people for long periods of time.

I’m also pretty sure the estimates on number of people who get Lyme per year vary wildly depending on who you want to believe.

Actually here is the cdc saying 476k

Anyways. Lyme is a tricky one because not everyone has a reaction and it’s impossible to say how many people are carrying it dormant.
