Did you read the article, the part where the author’s close friend died from a treatable illness? What other alternatives do you suggest?

I’ve tried enough meds in my life to know which ones work. Vyvanse is the only things that does. But if you mean it genuinely, while it’s in stock atm I’ve been skipping some days a week. I now have a 3 month supply saved up so 🤞

“Simple” for the everyday home chemist? Or “simple” for someone who is already a drug dealer…?

Cool. Yep. You aren’t wrong mate.

So I’m guessing you believe people should choose death instead, right? Or you’re going to pay for all these people’s medications?

The shortage is happening internationally. I am in Australia. I would have to pay money to see a psychiatrist again to change meds. I would need to restart a 12 month period where my GP can’t be the prescriber.

Prescription medication advertisements are illegal here too, so I think I just extra don’t appreciate unsolicited medication advice. I get you’re trying to be helpful. However, I did not ask for help.

Or, and hear me out, they know what the risks are and have assessed that they are reasonable when the alternative is death? I do disagree with them asserting they are higher-quality though, or I would at least like to see incontrovertible proof of that.

…Are you a bot? Your account is less than a day old and this comment… almost made sense. But what the heck does this mean?

…that one pile of neurons deserves for life the rights to a computation.

And you know what bloody sucks? ADHD meds are one of the few that you can not and probably should not make at home. Why? Without watching the whole video, I can tell you the medication he can’t get ahold of is Lisdexamphetamine. The precursor chemicals of which are the same as for Methamphetamine. It’s also in the same schedule as opiates. So I’d imagine that even the guy the article is about wouldn’t mess around with those publicly, and perhaps even privately as the DEA heavily monitors sales of the precursors.

I’m so fucking sick of the meds that make my brain work being out of stock :(

Thank you for the history, I appreciate it. Hopefully Valve releases SteamOS properly soon, it could be the resurgence of the Steam Machine!

Disk encryption doesn’t protect against what Secure Boot does. They are very different, often complimentary, systems.

Yeah no, it makes heaps of sense. It just initially sounded to me like the person was implying the Steam Deck is Valve’s escape hatch from running the Steam store. Which would be ridiculous, the two business sectors aren’t even close to the same order of magnitude.

Huh. That’s actually a pretty good take.

What do you mean by an escape hatch. Valve have been messing with hardware and Linux for way longer than the Steam Deck.

This is why Microsoft made WSL, they knew they were losing ground big time amongst devs.

No, it doesn’t, because the cost of that software is on the business because it makes them money. This person is literally smoking crack if they think it should ever be on the employee. There is never, ever, ever a situation where an employee paying an employer is a good thing.

Yes, the word free in English both means free as in gratis, without cost, as well as free as in freedom.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve seen a dumber take than “Windows good because it prevents an Apple monopoly” in a long while.

I’d imagine there would have to be script support, as KDE runs on many distros that all have very different update flows.

I’m actually wondering if it’s not just applications. That text talks of installing drivers to devices, so I’m actually wondering if this is about better support for hardware that’s paired to specific software. The recent use-case that’s got it on my mind is Rekordbox with Pioneer DJ decks. My housemate was curious so I tried running it under WINE and it launches just fine, but it could not see the decks at all, nor the encrypted license key verification it does with it’s driver. And I did manually install the driver into the prefix first.

However, I’m not positive this is it. It’s just a hunch.

Look, owning that means you’re already doing better than 99% of people who do this :)
