My goal hasn’t been to get rid of it. But, it’s a service I rarely use. I could survive without it.

favoredponcho@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Megathread: Charlie Kirk Shot at Utah Valley University Event18·2 days agoYeah curious to see how the suspect gets treated compared to the one who impersonated a cop and shot a politician in MN. That guy was let free on bail. Meanwhile, the Utah governor is already talking death penalty in this case. Double standards.

favoredponcho@lemmy.zipto Linux@lemmy.ml•Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.311·5 days agoReddit flagged this as inaccurate and the mod added this:
The issue was never with the poster’s self identification. The Ubuntu Community Council have been contacted and have been discussing the issue since Friday it happened.
The Ubuntu Community Council rarely comments publicly when complaints are dealt with, but the moderation team is welcome to do so.
Because I am on the Ubuntu Community Council and have been working on this issue, I am unable to comment further at this time.

favoredponcho@lemmy.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Putin: “Immortality” coming soon through continuous organ transplantsEnglish2·6 days agoThis sounds like someone who doesn’t know about organ transplants. I learned about lung transplants recently and about half of people die within 5 years of getting one. Those who make it longer often having major issues like popcorn lung that force them to live limited lives due to the complications. They also require lots of medications to make your body not reject them. Those meds can be difficult to actually take if you also have other issues that require different courses of medication like infection or cancer.
favoredponcho@lemmy.zipto Gaming@lemmy.world•A reminder to not take online negativity too seriouslyEnglish5·6 days agoFPS and RPGs. I actually have played a few side scrollers here and there, but not overly cartoonish ones. I personally don’t find the art style of Hollow Knight appealing.
PayPal is the easiest to get rid of in my view. I rarely use it for anything unless some website requires it.
favoredponcho@lemmy.zipto Gaming@lemmy.world•A reminder to not take online negativity too seriouslyEnglish72·6 days agoGlad it worked out for the guy and he found a market, but I did give Hollow Knight about 15 minutes of my time and my eyes glazed over because I think I’m perma-bored with cartoonish 2D platformers. So, I do understand where some of those redditors are coming from. That said, there are people who like them, so there is a market out there for them and that’s great.

favoredponcho@lemmy.zipto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Medicare Will Start Paying AI Companies a Share of Any Claims They Automatically RejectEnglish961·9 days agoAs I get older and need the healthcare system more, I have had this realization that except for cosmetic surgery no one uses healthcare that they don’t need. Like, no one is out there trying to scam their insurance company out of a free colonoscopy. They get that procedure because they don’t want to die. Rejecting claims should be illegal. The goal of the healthcare system should be to treat people. Insurance is the wrong paradigm to manage healthcare because implicitly it’s built around rationing resources.
We don’t do this with food, and yet healthcare is a basic need. What do we do as a society to meet our food needs? We scale up. We plant megatons of crops. We build new technologies to be able to produce more. Why with healthcare do we not do the same? Med schools should accept more than 2% of applicants. The number of doctors in the US is kept artificially low. Also, let people interested in medicine attend abbreviated university programs. Skip the 4 year bachelors and get your med school degree directly in 5-6 years like they do in the UK. Redirect all the overhead and money spent on insurance to building hospitals and hiring doctors.
