Was there any spyware/telemetry found in red star OS?

I remember a good few years back finding a leaked image for it and having some fun with it ended up throwing it on an open Gdrive link, then a few years later someone leaked a more up to date version that tried to look like macOS.

Fascinating read, and I think they cover the actual reason for this occuring so much more on these now barren islands where it doesn't occur in anywhere near the same numbers in other places that the eagle has been reintroduced; the hills are barren from humans clearing them in the early 20th century, there is no tree cover and consequently significantly fewer alternative prey for these eagles, less shelter for lambs and sheep, and less biodiversity.

The reality of the situation sounds like the farmers and their livestock would benefit from attempting to reforest, atleast in part. It would take a good 15-30 years at a minimum before forest would be regrown enough to enable other prey species to thrive, but it is probably the best option for keeping the places viable as farms without eradicating the eagles.

30mg daily with an optional booster of 5mg instant release has been the sweet spot for me.

Over the span of like 6 years I started on 30mg, went down to 20mg for a while until a bit of a tolerance kicked in then back up to 30mg, eventually got the 5mg booster which I normally only take a 1/4 of a pill for the actual boost I need without effecting my sleep too much, but even then if I take the booster for a week I'll certainly start to feel drained, so it's an option not a requirement for me.

I imagine you're probably going to be better off feeling a little bit of the randomness associated with you being on the lower dose. The medicine is supposed to help you function a bit more like a regular person, not a robot. Humans have got randomness/noise in their thoughts, we aren't supposed to be robots.

I've had what you're experiencing but on methylphenidate; it doesn't really go away until you lower the dose or stop.

Other things that can impact the robot feeling is excessive caffeine before bed, and nicotine usage.

I think if you're asking this question; you already know that you want to go back down and just need some confirmation that it's a good idea 👍

Jesus H. Christ, I immediately thought oh it's not going to be as bad as it sounds, the. The video does genuinely show it being as bad and worse than it sounds.

I'm autistic, when I get particularly distressed, I'll end up impulsively hitting my head against walls or with my fist. Generally that behaviour is worse when left alone after getting into that state to begin with. By leaving these kids to actively self harm by isolating them, likely has worsened their situations, and probably has caused the epilepsy in the one child to become apparent.

My partner is a teaching assistant at a mainstream school which takes on a huge number of SEN children, mostly autistic, about 5 with down syndrome, and recently a lot who were fostered. They would never in a million years think that anything like what's shown in the video is acceptable, it's genuinely heartbreaking that this has occured, let alone that noone is being held accountable for this abuse.

There's got to be so many better ways of helping these kids when they're distressed instead of just throwing them into what is effectively a padded cell.

Ok, not to pile on, but what the heck do you mean by "pantheon" in this context?

And do you speak/use any other languages that have led you to using this unique form of capitalisation?

Also the opposite side to it don't keep hammering into somebody once they've admitted fault and are trying to rectify their mistakes (within reason).

People will be a lot more likely to be confident in admitting a mistake and being honest about it if it isn't blown out of proportion.

Researching this doesn't prevent renewables being researched or rolled out? I think the nuclear scientists developing this might be better researching this as opposed to researching fission reactors or researching renewables as this is likely their area of expertise.

Fusion is a long shot but if it was achieved it would be world changing (hopefully for the better)

This one hits different; the hand writing is very similar to my late father's, aside from the squigglyness of it. Though in the latter months of his life it gained that feature as well.

Alcohol is generally well tolerated in reasonable quantities, the common ink cap mushroom is edible, but if eaten alongside alcohol it becomes poisonous

Personally this has been the most feature rich/open source one I could find, and it's what I ended up going for, there's an opensource app store, direct integration with gadgetbridge, a decent always on display much like the amazfit bip S, which also means a long battery life.
