Yeah, that's absolutely the tricky part. I think it makes sense to prioritize also by how long someone has been a registered donor, but then you've got to make sure not to disadvantage young adults. Maybe you build up priority ove

Is it? But if its only duplication is different versions of the same dependency, and it never has real duplication, then what exactly is the problem? As I said, I don't know much about these things. I thought flatpak had the app and al

I've always pronounced it lah-tech, with the guttural ch from the Greek chi, which is what the X represents.

I don't know much about package managers, but instead of demanding every app uses the same version of every library, or including all libraries in every app, wouldn't it make more sense to allow different versions of libraries to

Sounds to me like the US still doesn't care enough about civilians yet. More than in Vietnam, but still less than many other countries, who also don't let their own people starve, but also don't let them die from preventable

If only Mao had been aware that he was human and not a god. He didn't allow any criticism of his ideas, and that makes him entirely culpable for the results.

Are you sure? The US still killed a lot of civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention the unconditional support for Israel's intentional murder of civilians and children.

I will always condemn the Vietnam War, as well as Leopold 2's murderous regime in Congo Free State. Those do not excuse Mao's murderous policies, no matter how necessary it was to repair China after the destructive Opium Wars. It

I've been thinking a lot about the Leningrad Cowboys recently. I've always loved their performance of Gimme All Your Lovin' with the Red Army Choir, and after looking that up on YouTube last year, The algorithm eventually s

The Soviets did do by far the majority of the fighting. And dying. Of course that was also a symptom of the brutal and inhuman regime: soldiers were sent into battle in suicidal human wave attacks, sometimes even without a weapon, because S

All SciFi seems to become true to some degree. Star Trek inspired astronauts, while cyberpunk seems to have inspired evil megacorps. Or maybe the megacorps were inevitable anyway? Still, the Torment Nexus rings true. But while I agree that

Good article. Good, clear way of thinking about this. I have some different thoughts, though. For one, most organs can't even be donated during life. Paying people for them is useless, because they're dead. But an approach that ha

They did both. They defeated the Nazis, but they didn't exactly "liberate" eastern Europe. They just replaced one occupier with another.

If US companies are required to give the US government access the data, and companies operating in the EU are not allowed to give anyone access to data from EU citizens, then US companies are simply not allowed to operate in the EU anymore.

I have this issue with lots of applications: taking focus away from something I'm using, but not being ready to be usable. Apps shouldn't take focus until they're ready.

Are there specific apps it's missing? I don't think more is necessarily better.

I don't know if it's related, but I recently started using apps from f-droid. Maybe I should have done that much earlier, but necessity forced ky hand. I just can't find good apps on the Play Store anymore. Everything is ensh

I use web search and still can't get a perfect score. Without it, I wouldn't be able to find anything. (I don't play competitively obviously; and just my free 3 tries per day.)

That's what it is for me. If you don't try to win, you disrespect the game and your opponents. Throwing the game is nearly as bad as cheating in my book.

I don't think anyone is complaining about putting those gang members in prison. The problem is the torture, not the imprisonment. Torture is simply not acceptable, and creating a society where such sadism is considered acceptable, is n

It may be the problem, but it's also become the standard. If you want Microsoft, you know where to go. If you want Apple, you know where to go. If you want Linux or open standards, there's hundreds of companies that will help you,

We tend to think about life and death as metaphysical states, but life is really just a process. And death the absence of that process. Or actually, life is a bunch of different processes. It's possible for some to stop while others co

Absolutely. From what I understand, there's been an evolutionary war for resources between the womb and the placenta, which is a big part of why human pregnancies are so complicated and invasive compared to other mammals (because no ot

I've had the exact same thing with an OSM map. Organic Maps showed a trail down, but if it was meant to be a trail, it hadn't been used or maintained in at least a century. It was completely irresponsible to go down it, but we did
