For people to demand anything you'll need a democracy. For people to want universal healthcare they need to understand that socializing the health cost is a benefit for the population.

Add the words together and you get social democracy.

In most countries this is what lead to universal healthcare. In most countries the social democracy parties were founded by labour unions.

Despite USA being first with labour unions, they never really succeeded, because they were violently struck down early on.

Anyway, it's that simple: Join a union, let the union establish a political party, let the party make universal healthcare. I know that seems very uphill, but it doesn't actually have to take centuries to do.

When the first unions were formed in Europe, the workers also expected it to be a multigenerational battle, and yet decided to try it in the vague hope that it might eventually benefit their grandchildren. However they were so successful that they achieved the goal within their own lifetime.

Yes it is. Their entire vendor shit can go to hell. I don't need a Samsung app-store, Samsung photos, Samsung parental controls etc. on a cheap phone that already has Google's versions of the same crap. It's like having 2 operating systems in constant conflict on the same phone, and the only real purpose is for Samsung to collect your data.

Their vehicles also use about double the fuel for the same milage, so they're almost paying the same per mile.

It makes me so sad ... that their entire society is dependent on cheap excessive consumption of non-renewable resources.

Same. The vegan patty has better consistency than their actual beef.

The show "Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries" aired in 1995-2000, so it makes sense if the merch and licensed products are from that period too.

This is then slightly newer than the other stuff on the pile.

The character on the body board graphic might give a clue. I don't recognize it, but the drawing style of the eye looks like early nineties Disney.

.... because they did have it?

It wasn't universal at the time, covering only the poorest workers, but Germany was the first country to establish a social health care system in 1883. It didn't work very well during the war, but it was technically still there. Since the war, they gradually expanded it achieving universal coverage sometime in the 1980s.

I choose to turn the paper.

Det virker til at være et parti som er baseret på Lars Løkke og står for det som Lars Løkke vil.

Han holdt en fin tale ved sidste valg hvor han opfordrede til mere samarbejde over midten, hvilket jeg synes er en fin ide. Der er bare det, at han placerer sig selv som en anden kong Salomon og prøver at fremstå som den eneste voksne i salen.

Desværre så har han jo lidt ret. Udenrigspolitisk er det stadigvæk nødvendigt at have en gammel hvid mand, hvis man vil tages seriøst af USA mfl. og det er ikke en rolle som hverken Mette Frederiksen, Troels Poulsen eller Alex Vanopslagh kan udfylde. Jeg tror det er derfor nogen stemmer på ham. Fordi de andre ikke har pondus nok til at fremstå ansvarlige, uanset om de er det eller ej. Der mangler helt generelt bedre spidskandidater, og det lukrerer han på.

Anyway, jeg tror ikke partiet har en fremtid den dag han selv stopper. Det samme gælder i øvrigt Inger Støjberg's parti, som også er 100% baseret på individet. De skifter holdning hver gang hun læser nyheder på Facebook.

Forhåbentligt kan der findes nogle bedre kandidater inden næste valg.

In USA yes. The first-past-the-post is ruining politics for you. You don't even have two political parties. The Democrats is the only political party. The Republicans are a bundle of anti political idiots.

If Google actually cared about security they ought to stop Samsung from automatically installing TEMU and Candy Crush in their random "updates". It installs that shit whether or not you remove the check marks. The "updates" contain no further updates.

I recently got fed up with spending hours making my MIDI devices work in Windows. Everytime I plugged the USB hub with my controllers into Windows, it would reassign the ports and I'd have to use the ancient Korg utility to remove dead ports. This is a really old issue that Microsoft claims was fixed ten years ago, but never was. So I decided to test if Linux can handle MIDI devices better.

It seemed to work fine on an old Mint laptop that I have around, but since I'd rather use the newer laptop and since I still need Windows on that for work, I decided to try out putting everything on a USB stick for portability. Also, the old laptop which I might use sometimes is a bit too slow for Mint, so I needed something smaller.

So, the idea is to put the OS, the DAW, the plug-ins and samples on one single stick. I happened to have a 8gb USB that I found on a parking lot. It's kinda dirty and broken, so I figured it was perfect for the experiment. Yes, I do know that flash drives aren't good for this, and when I'm done playing around, I will probably get an external SSD for this purpose instead.

8gb is not a lot for this, but I like the challenge.

At first I wasted another evening trying to make Slax boot. I gave up and found Poppy Linux instead, since I do want the tiny and persistent kind of installation. It's a bit slow to boot into ram, but it's nice and quick once at the desktop.

For a DAW I got Reaper working just fine simply by extracting the files from the official webpage. No install required.

It recognized my MIDI devices and audio interface instantly. No issues at all, no missing dependencies or drivers or whatever, and better yet: It's still works after rebooting. I made a setup of the devices to control mixer actions in Reaper and that also saves fine as expected.

Now getting plugins is a bit of an issue. It seems that most people run Wine to use VSTs, but I decided to stick with free native Linux plugins and those are somewhat more difficult to find.

So far I've found Helm for a synth and LSP for a samples. I plan on recording real instruments mostly, so I only need the essential stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised that the linux download for LSP also ships with a bunch of effect plug-ins. Highly recommended: https://lsp-plug.in/index.php

I have yet to make any music other than test tracks, but it seems that my idea works so far. The installation is completely independent of which computer I have available, so I guess I will be using Linux in one way or the other to make music going forwards.

Manually switching from all/unread seems to work and clears the read messages
