• Do not kill, or through intentional action cause physical harm to another human being, except in defence.

• Every human has the right to their own body, thoughts and words, upon which nothing except the above law shall infringe.

• Where it does not conflict with previous laws, respect physical property of the public and other individuals - it is not to be destroyed, taken or abused without permission of its holder(s).

In addition to what @LwL said - It has to do with how testing is done, and that some diseases can’t really be tested for. It is quite expensive, and is generally done on small samples from lots of people mixed together. If it is positive they split the batch and test again (look up binary search).

The lower the incidence rate of diseases, the larger batches can be done. Ditching certain denographics with significantly higher risks for certain diseases can make testing orders of magnitudes cheaper and faster. (Other groups, at least where I live, include people who recently changed partner, recently went abroad, have ever gotten a blood transfusion, have gone through a recent surgery, have recently been sick, etc. etc.)

Simutrans and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

From the bottom of my heart - I hate it.

For some reason it caught on as the go-to messaging app for casual conversations for folks my generation (in my country at least).

Deleted my account roughly a year ago.

I prefer lemmy but miss the niche communities. The Swedish national community for instance, roleplaying communities, niche game communities etc.

There are archaeological finds of buildings from more than 9000 years ago (oldest in the region).

There’s a church that was finished sometime during the 1200s and is preserved in its original form in the municipality, but technically it’s not within town limits.

The main church was also initially built around that time but was rebuilt in the late 1700s - nothing of the original remains.

The cellar of a royal farm still remains, which was built in 1552, though it’s more a ruin than a building.

A castle/royal manor was built in 1652, and although it has been renovated and expanded in the early 1700s, parts of the structure are still from the original.

So, I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for.

If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is.

Scandinavian countries are not “super socialist” - sure, we have robust social welfare systems, but these are funded through taxation on regulated market economies with private ownership. That is not socialism.

I know that there were some experiments with trying to transfer into a socialist system here in Sweden during the 70s (I think?), but those failed in a spectacular fashion and were rolled back. They are the reason that many famous “Swedish” brands such as IKEA aren’t actually based in Sweden.

Haven’t tried. I did use Mint on a second laptop a while back, and that was nice, but I wanted something with KDE Plasma this time

It suggested 200GiBs for root, which seemed a bit excessive but I didn’t argue

I’ll go have a look

Mint was 2nd in line on the choice list, so not far off!

But b-tree file system sounds way less fun!

It’s already cemented itself as butterfly system in my mind lol

Thanks! Next step is getting equivalents for all the software I use and figuring out proton.

Most of them (thankfully) are foss, but I’ve a few without equivalents.

Oh undoubtedly!

Hopefully my partitioning was decent though, so distro-hopping shouldn’t be too hard if I feel like switching (or even running different distros side-by-side?)

I was personally drawn to it because: it’s not Ubuntu; ButterFS seems like a nice safety net; KDE Plasma is sexy AF; noone seems to have anything particularly horrible to say about it.

Why is your chosen distro (obviously) the superior choice?

Personally, as an agnostic (leaning atheist) I don’t have any particular dogma regarding other religions to follow. I will however share how I view religions.

• I’ve yet to encounter a religion that is verifiably true. As such I consider the religions of other people to essentially be opinions (personal beliefs).

• Opinions should not be held sacred in society, nor should they grant special rights.

• The religions of others only really become a problem if they make demands based on said religious belief, attempt to impose their beliefs on others, or spread verifiably false information.
