I don’t think reddit even has an option for alttexts. Lemmy really encourages it.

Social media networks without attention based algorithms also aren’t quite as addictive.

It’d be the Gategate. It would only be called Billgate if Bill was a woman.

Usually we teach them from the time they are 3 years old. So basically when they are teens

Breaking in is just what we call the process of fostering trust and getting the horse slowly used to a rider.

Even worse: They are hoping that LLMs in training don’t realize that it’s an ad

They are also supposed to limit freedoms, where they infringe on the freedom of others.

For example the freedom to shoot people infringes on the freedom to be free from physical harm. So it should be limited.

Food is at the bottom. With all the other physiological needs that form the foundation for the other, less important, needs.

That’s how pyramids work.

Universal healthcare providers sometimes choose to cover drugs or treatments that have slightly worse outcomes instead. The treatment that was state of the art 10 years ago probably still works just fine.

Patents last 20 years. But most of that time, a drug is in trials.

Providers can also choose not to cover other drugs by the same company, if they refuse to budge. Not being able to sell any drugs across an entire country would be a big problem for companies.

Then even a well stocked instrument library probably wouldn’t have it

Ants farm. So farming is a hobby?

Imagine all the terrible music we were spared because talentless randoms couldn’t just pick up an instrument for free.

Have you installed bugs at all of your neighbors houses or something?

Probably not, because if you did you’d be more annoyed at people who play their instruments well. That requires hours of boring exercise that don’t sound well at all. And even when they practice a piece, they’ll usually practice 4 bars on repeat, for an hour.

Self actualization might be at the very top of the pyramid of needs. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have it.

With most woodwinds, you probably have to get your own reed for ~3,50€. But the rest can be cleaned well enough.

When my concert band lends out instruments they have to get a professional service at the local music store when you return them. They’ll replace any consumable parts that are missing, if you haven’t already.

Of course that would probably be a bit more difficult in a library setting, where the lease lasts only a very short time.

It currently has 214 518 English original works that aren’t smut

I added the link just seconds ago. Apparently looking up new terms is too difficult.

I have the feeling the voters in this tread have no idea what a company union is. There’s a reason they are banned by international labor law!

And company unions do as well.

Company unions don’t work.

And if union busting is encouraged by the government, being part of a regular union might not be worth the sacrifice.

I thought generics were handled relatively similarly in the EU and the US, but apparently the US does grant a bunch of exclusivities, on top of patents.

However the biggest difference between those health systems still seems to be how providers bargain for lower prices.

In the US, insurances bargain for rebates. That means that if you buy a drug with insurance the insurance only pays a small percentage of the drug price. They are still allowed to demand copay on the list price. So often the insurance makes a profit in that transaction. But if you try to go around insurance you have to pay the full list price and will pay even more.

Over here, the universal healthcare providers bargain with the pharma companies to lower the list price. And with a much greater bargaining power to boot.
