In later trials, drugs aren’t compared against placebo, but a standard therapy regimen.

If someone hires a former Facebook employee to work on their social network, is that patent infringement?

No. If that employee then implements features that FB has patented? Probably yes.

I know it’s a pain, but what’s to stop us from using download-clis?

The answer is right there.

You still have a contract. But I get that it may not be worth the trouble.

This of course depends on your jurisdiction and how much time you’re willing to put into this, but I’d refuse to pay for shipping either way.

You have a contract with the company, and they didn’t fulfil it, that’s on them. They can’t just send you a defective product and make you pay for (part of) it.

I use bxactions to control play/pause (single tap), flashlight (hold when screen is locked) and auto rotation (hold when screen is on). No custom ROMs or root needed, just a quick abd command that comes with the app and disables bixby.

Happy to inform you it’s actually a trilby, pleb.

The worst thing about Lemmy is it perfectly nercomanced 2010 reddit’s skin-deep atheism back to life.

If you’re a large online news outlet doing this repeatedly: Probably sue you.

This could’ve been one panel.

I don’t think they researched this decision.

Who?

The new owners? They’re interested in the high rankings on the playstore. The vast majority of people don’t care about bloat/privacy and install whatever is at the top of search results.

The original developers? I’m sure it worked out for them.

1. It’s page one, so I don’t think this is a selected subset.

2. This is just the people playing right now, and only people playing on steam. This doesn’t show all of the people who bought the game or are playing on console.

3. Obviously none of the gaming boycotts have worked, and we’re both putting way too much thought into one image.

Probably when it was beaten in both features and cost by the alternatives.

In other news, snow blindness is on the rise in suburbia.

Every major country that has ever gone down the communist road has ended up a dictatorship.

Up until not too long ago, every democracy relied on slavery, disenfranchised large parts of the population, and eventually ended up a dictatorship. If you asked someone in like 1810 whether democracy could work, it’d be completely understandable if they pointed out all the horrible aspects of Greek and Roman “democracy”, American planations, colonialism and the Reign of Terror, and if they assumed all of these to be inherent to democracy.

“Sure, the king isn’t perfect, but he’s surely better than Robespierre (who was inevitably succeded by Napoleon). And besides, great thinkers like Plato argued for a philosopher king – and that guy lived in a democracy, who would know better about all of it’s evils?”

Yes, communism has failed in many respects so far.* The reasons for that are complex, include active sabotage by anti-communist states, but anyone who doesn’t genuinely and critically reflect it’s failures is (probably) doomed to repeat those mistakes.

Assuming those are inherent and inevitable based on less than a hundred years of history is imho short sighted.

*Some very early societies were probably kinda close to what we conceptualise as communism™ today, but applying the term is anachronistic.

Tipping has been prevalent in many Europeam countries for decades, though the amount is usually less than in the US.

It would solve so many problems over there, honestly.

Which ones?

Always has been. In many ways, Lemmy resembles the Reddit of 10 years ago.
