Didn't know this is his first PC build, I assumed he had built one before.

Actually Sopuli was founded in February 2021. Few months after Lemmy's federation got out of beta phase.

Excatly. Sopuli has become the instance for all things Finland, so that community would be more than welcome!

Execpt herd immunity doesn't apply to viruses that mutate heavily and where the immunity isn't durable. Dr. Anthony Fauci previously believed that herd immunity could be achieved with COVID, but he has since changed his mind:

So, with regard to that issue and something you mentioned earlier, how should we define herd immunity with respect to COVID, I mean, how do we think of it?

I wrote a paper on that. It was a simple paper [9]. It stated that we cannot apply the standard criteria of herd immunity. It's not applicable with SARS-CoV-2. And the reason is, it's simple. I can synopsize the paper in 30 seconds. One is that herd immunity is dependent on an immune response that is durable, measured in decades to a lifetime, and a pathogen that does not change. So, you have clear-cut herd immunity with measles. Why? The measles that I got infected with as a child, because I was born before the measles vaccine, is the same measles that's killing kids in the developing world today.

Number 2, if you get infected with measles or you get vaccinated with measles, the duration of protection minimally is decades and maximally is lifetime. Those are the criteria that you need for herd immunity. Because if you have a pathogen that keeps changing like the multiple variants of SARS, and if you have a duration of immunity that's measured in months, the entire concept of herd immunity is no longer valid. That's the point.

Considering how repeat COVID infections can cause cumulative damage, which includes immune system problems, one could expect flu waves to become deadlier. All those laptop class academics who preached about "herd immunity" via infection must be feeling great right now.

The impostor account has been banned from our instance.

Tavallaan ymmärrän tuollaisten järjestettyjen tappelujen merkityksen, kun arkielämä on niin tylsää ja kaivataan adrenaliinipiikkiä ja jännitystä. Kun kyse on huliganismista, niin varmasti se vetää puoleensa ihmisiä joilla on rikostaustaa ja sitten vaikuttaa rikoksen tielle menemiseen, ja Jalmarihan on istunut vankilassa. Jalkapallohuliganismia en muuten ymmärrä: miten jonkun joukkueen kannattamisesta tehdään niin iso osa identiteettiä, että ollaan valmiita tappelemaan sen puolesta?

But at least he admits being a Nazi!

And this is a problem we won't have with Lemmy.

And it's going to be sold out in no time with that kind of lineup.

Ihan paska homma. Kannattaa antaa tästä lausunto lausuntopalvelussa.

Another variation of that is claiming how getting sick repeatedly is somehow beneficial for getting a strong immune system. That ignores research, as children who have a lot of common infections early in life have higher risk of moderate to severe infections and antibiotic use throughout childhood. That also ignores viruses for which a durable immunity isn't currently possible, such as COVID.

EDIT: Basically the immunity system doesn't work like a muscle.

Roni is a very talented developer and I feel bad for him. "This is why we can't have nice things."

Resist, Americans, resist!

Looks like the game got deleted from the Xbox store.

Exactly, and that is one reason why Sopuli defederated from that instance. Having things posted straight to Lemmy would be better instead of clumsy crossposting from Reddit.

Ei se idea olekaan, että voisit kirjautua yhdellä tilillä kaikkiin noihin palveluihin.

That title screen surely looks AI generated. The gameplay doesn't look like what the title screen would give away. How can the Xbox handle a game like this? Where's quality control?

Ehei, sinun pitäisi pystyä seuraamaan Mastodonin kautta vaikkapa Pixelfed- ja Peertube -tilejä. Ja tietysti Pixelfedin kautta pystyy seuraamaan Mastodon-käyttäjiä.

Ehdinkin kommentoida juttua Ylen puolella, mutta oikaisupyyntö olisi varmasti tehokkaampi vaihtoehto.
