resistance genes are often carried on transferable elements like transposons and plasmids, which often contain multi-gene cassettes encoding for many types of resistance. I would also like to be hopeful too, but every antibiotic we have developed has had resistance develop against it, also within multidrug resistant strains like MRSA and CRAB. I think we should be hopeful for phage therapy, as well as AB + phage combination therapy. I think relying purely on antibiotics is a bit of a dead end.
I think bacteriophages should be investigated much more, unfortunately I don't think big pharma is that interested in them, although they are also pretty uninterested in antibiotics too, because they generally don't make much profit. So I think at least in this economic model in the west we are unlikely to have them widely available. I am admittedly quite out of date, all I remember is that there was more research and use of them in eastern europe/russia.
It is just anti-international in general imo, the time is not yet right. In many parts of the world people are still trying to increase their living standards, and to them that means eating more meat. In some cuisines, small amounts of meat are integral in many dishes. In some places in the world, the only thing you can eat are animals because plants do not grow (extreme example, I know). Veganism is a lofty ideal and we should work towards it, but imposing it now on a wide variety of people who live off the land in their traditional ways (all over the globe) is anti-development and primitivist (imo). Of course I do not want factory farming and mass animal exploitation, but fortunately traditional methods of agriculture are not so exploitative. When those systems do develop, I think the best thing is to just develop past them as fast as possible. It doesn't feel right to me to deny these developments outright
Of course, google is trying to dissuade you from using other app stores, nothing more. You might be able to download and install it from GitHub using obtainium if you really want to verify the origin of the app.
You are right, many oddly specific gaming things like this are not that well supported, but the strength of Linux and open source is that everyone has the power to change it. The software that people have already developed to interface with proprietary hardware is great, I have a Corsair mouse and thought I would never have support for macros on it on Linux, but someone has already developed software that does a way better job than corsairs official software. It can do all of the same operations and doesn't hang or crash regularly. I'm sure a few of your issues have already been solved by someone. The brilliant thing is, Linux ultimately allows much more control over the software and hardware it is interfaced to. So something like the transducers you mention would probably be easier to do than it is on windows, but someone has to actually do it. Maybe the sim-racing community is just waiting for you to come along? ;)
Correct, they are a hollowed out husk in which mould is festering. Just like every other institute in this godforsaken country. Westminster should be [redacted]
Seems slightly unnecessary unless you have loads lying around, I'm still using a 10 year old dual core i3 and it doesn't sweat running 60 services, and I can expand the storage much more than a Mac mini.
Yep get a second hand Kobo for £30 and install Koreader on it. Or if you fancy, Kindles can be had cheaper, but they will require a jailbreak to use Koreader.
Use new containers, that's what they're for.
