Lived there for years and years. Never heard it pronounced that way. Strange

Not a single person in my insane number of years has ever said sinjin

I love when a God type peeks in from heaven, from time to time, performs a technology review with his main human peeps, and together they conclude a VPN is probably bad for the community / personal development / a deeper connection with said God etc.

So cool. Praise be heavenly technical reviews.

This was the situation in Australia:

https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/human-body/dr-kerryn-phelps-reveals-devastating-covid-vaccine-injury-says-doctors-have-been-censored/news-story/0c1fa02818c99a5ff65f5bf852a382cf

Some key quotes from the former Australian Medical Association (AMA) president.

“This is an issue that I have witnessed first-hand with my wife who suffered a severe neurological reaction to her first Pfizer vaccine within minutes, including burning face and gums, paraesethesiae, and numb hands and feet, while under observation by myself, another doctor and a registered nurse at the time of immunisation,” the 65-year-old said.

The diagnosis and causation has been confirmed by several specialists who have told me that they have seen ‘a lot’ of patients in a similar situation.”

Her comment which is what I was referring to:

“Regulators of the medical profession have censored public discussion about adverse events following immunisation, with threats to doctors not to make any public statements about anything that ‘might undermine the government’s vaccine rollout’ or risk suspension or loss of their registration,” she said.

It was very real here. I'm not sure where you're from, but here, if anyone didn't say exactly what they were told, consequences were real.

Hence, those nurses in the linked story from OP, I personally feel probably knew, but were fearful. I can't say that for sure though. Based on how things were at the time, it would make sense.

In Australia, doctors could lose their licenses for stepping outside the official line.

Nobody could be honest in the medical world, at that time. Maybe still? I'm not sure, but unlikely. Those nurses and doctors were probably too scared to speak the truth I'd imagine.

You don't live in Australia then.

Instant fail. Investing in that would be madness

I see what you did there

It's a watercolour. He's considered the current, living master of watercolour. Still very much alive, and is Australian. Lives in Melbourne

By memory, it's Venice, Italy.

Whenever I try and upload an image, it does not work.

Somebody reminded me recently that if you resize the image and make the file size smaller, it will work.

I'm wondering if anybody knows what the actual file size is as a maximum that I can upload?

Rather than just wing it, I would like to create a script that will create the appropriate file size.

I don't want to be greedy and use up heaps of resources, but I'd like to find what the happy balance is and make sure it works within the limits of the system.

Thank you so much.

Haven't painted in awhile, something loose felt light and the colors blended nicely.

Seriously, take a guess, I don't know since she was adopted and the agency didn't know.

 

Visited for the first time.

What a soulless, almost theme park like place.

I can't imagine living there, walking out of my unit, into the street.... to what?

Plastic fantastic. The complete opposite of what makes Melbourne great.

 

Hi all,

I am about to do a bit of a distro hop, and I am looking at Fedora and its spins, after years on Debian / POP.

I am not looking forward to setting it all up again, it's a drag.

I wonder, is there a tool that lets me script installs?

I'll want to check if application exists, and if so, update, otherwise, install. That kind of thing.

Things like:

  • Telegram
  • Joplin
  • Docker
  • Firefox
  • Ungoogle Chromium
  • Sublime Text
  • VSCodium
  • Keepass
  • Thunderbird
  • DBeaver
  • Gimp
  • Inkscape
  • KDENLive
  • Syncthing
  • Steam
  • VLC
  • Localsend
  • Flameshot
  • Element
  • Cherrytree
  • Calibre
  • Anydesk

I show the list, only to give an idea of what might be involved.

I'm new to Fedora, so not sure how it differs beyond the package manager. But, thought I'd ask.

Does such a tool exist, and is it worth my time? I can practice on a VM before trying on the final install/s.

Thank you
