Europe@feddit.org•‘It’s a powder keg’: Romania leads EU measles cases as vaccination rates collapseEnglish
16·11 days agoVaccination is not mandatory in Romania. In 2015, responsibility for administering vaccines was shifted exclusively to GPs, increasing bureaucracy and piling pressure on to an already stretched system.
This here is the central issue, I would say. It needs to become a public health priority, in as much as to become mandatory practise and independent of GP appointments.

Cooking @lemmy.world•[QUESTION] What are your favorite vegetarian meals?English
10·14 days agoAh, should have clarified, you can make it with or without the chicken (which I usually do) and it’ll still be great.

13·14 days agoI’ve got a few delicious veggie dishes that make the rounds on my house, check them out and give one or two a try:
Creamy Cherry Tomato and Squash pasta
French Lasagna (sorry for the FB link)
Pennoni with Caramelized Pear and Cavolo Nero
Grilled Nectarine Caprese Salad (great for summer)
Black Bean and Corn Salad (hella versatile, I like to make this with Dijon vinaigrette)
Sweet and Spicy Stewed Chickpeas
Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Topping

This artist shows up a lot on Lemmy and what I’ve gathered from his comics is boobs.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The founder of /e/os is anti-securityEnglish
41·23 days agoIt’s also up to us to not jump aboard any given claim and be critical of what others are spelling out for us. In any case, the transcripts in both english and french were posted by grapheneOS in the comments as well, so non-native french speakers can draw their own conclusions.
You’re right that it’s also up to him to clarify his remarks, but I feel like this is a non-issue generously stretched out online that just sows further division that only benefits the big offenders against privacy.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The founder of /e/os is anti-securityEnglish
8·24 days agoAgree with your outlook, but I think it’s not too farfetched to give the benefit of the doubt to the speaker here and establish that pedophiles were used as an example (of people whose survival depends on their data not being breached), rather than a direct comparison. And he goes on to name being an executive to the secret services as another example (again, of people to whom hardened security of data is an imperative), but we’re not saying he thinks secure phones are just for people in secret services, are we?
He’s just saying, albeit rather clumsily, that their goal is simply not that level of hardened security, but rather privacy from data miners.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The founder of /e/os is anti-securityEnglish
142·24 days agoI don’t think he’s actually making the parallelism with pedophiles and security per se, but rather he’s making the case that his OS’ mission isn’t by default focused on that level of security or anonymity, but rather privacy and disengagement from companies who profit from your data being mined.
He mentioned pedophiles, as well as the secret service, right after, as examples of either criminals who need to be obscured from detection (maybe because it’s easy for the Epstein class to pop in someone’s head, nowadays?) or government agents that need to protect themselves from data breaches, and said his type of OS isn’t made with that level of airtight security in mind, which is understandable and reasonable, and something we probably all knew already. It could’ve just as well been terrorists and investigative journalists mentioned.
One could take his stance and engage in discussion on whether we need that level of security by default as ordinary citizens, or that even without exceptional circumstances, it becomes necessary in an increasingly hypervigilant society/government, but that’s a separate discussion.
We should have a little nuance in interpreting speeches like these rather than taking things this literally, especially when it’s coming from a direct competitor in the degoogling sphere, who would naturally gain from holding it up in the most unflattering light.
Same in Portugal, too.

Funny: Home of the Haha@lemmy.world•AudiophilesEnglish
3·28 days agoMan, I love these kinds of stories, and I just love hearing about that feeling of wonder in those moments where the music you thought you knew just clicks like it’s the first time you’re hearing it. That’s what it’s all about. Made me want to play that Peter Gabriel album, too, after reading your tale!
That’s how they get you down the rabbit hole, though, when you come back home to your modest setup and you miss the stuff you didn’t know was there to begin with.

Great news for data sovereignty! Let’s hope more in the europe follow suit.
