Moderate drinking not better for health than abstaining, analysis suggests
  • The issue is mostly due to the fact that those who don't drink because of existing damage to liver etc from alcohol or those who cannot drink for other medical reasons are included in the data. If you control for existing health issues then the results show that drinking more alcohol decreases life expectancy.

    Vegans of Lemmy, would you eat lab-grown meat?
  • No, I think it's a good idea but I'm fine with plant based alts. I think it's a lot better than having to kill animals for food but still seems like a lot of extr steps when you can just eat plants and stuff mad from plants without requiring a biological reactor, and lab. I would also assume that the process requires at least some more energy or resorces than regular food processing methods. So it wouldn't win any points on that front. I was raised vegan for context, so I've never actually tasted real meat and don't see any reason to try it now, lab grown or not.

    What's the state of the art for KDE Connect Clipboard Sync?
  • There is a config option that doesnt share passwords, "as marked by password managers" idk how well it works but it might block that behavior. On the PC side in clipboard configs in kde connect.

  • You have to scan your student card on entrance and exit but I think it gets messed up if someone gets put through by the desk staff without scanning.

    what caused you to get into Linux?
  • Just windows, I had windows 10 installed on my laptop and was constantly fighting with windows update so when the system broke (wouldn't boot) I finally installed Ubuntu. These days I use arch BTW.

    Can't catch me, coppers!!
  • You can just open them, all the ones at my Uni have tubular locks that can be opened as fast as using the key.

    Who's winning here, exactly?
  • I'd just like to say that if something says Ubuntu support it will very likely work on all Debian based distros unless its something really low level and your running one that swapped out systemd or something. They normally just mean that they ship their software as a .deb file and even that can be installed on non Debian distros if your willing to do some special stuff. Also as for drivers/firmware I've never had any issues except when trying to use a distros that doesnt include non-free firmware.

    Why do you use Linux?
  • I like to tinker with it and the lack of restrictions on low level stuff. The ability to completely change anything about he system that is restricted on other platforms. No data is sent from the system unless you actively enable it. Its stable, I have a raspberry pi that can run for months without error whereas windows bluescreened once every 2 weeks with regular usage. Its free.
