  • I mean, it’s both good and bad. The amount of downvotes mean there is a large subset of folks who no longer recognize the twisting of stallman’s rant. They are new to linux, and not super-serious-no-casuals-allowed penguin lovers. It’s bad because I would love if everyone coming to linux could be as into it as I am. People who are invested into a thing take a much deeper look at things, and can appreciate it’s soft and jagged parts and then properly make recommendations on how to change things.








  • My favorite part about the continuous monitors is that they really show the incompetence of the clinics that are supposed to be managing us diabetics. There is a freaking option to share the data with your doctor (this is dexcom’s system thingie), but mine just asks for my account information so they can login with that and get the data. Like, whyyyy?!? You could manage all of us from one account rather than logging in a thousand different times.

    Then we get to the bullshit terms and conditions, where the real hate begins… fucking device maker can go hog wild with all of our data and share it with whomever they want. Can’t use the device, after all, unless you agree to it. HIPAA is basically dead at this point.

    Oh, and I also know from firsthand experience how much the cheaper devices can suck. The tandem pump drives me low just about every day. It absolutely blows balls at using the readings from the continuous monitor, while omni and medtronic do just fine.


  • It happened a few times, mostly with his students. Notably, though, both he and his later offshoot students would surround themselves with people who had similar tastes/views/concerns/insights and form little societies. You’re probably familiar with a great many scientists who wrote letters between each other to keep in contact and abreast of current research/learning. Freud was one of them, sending a fair amount of letters that are publicly viewable today.
