Using radiotherapy to cure cancer which was caused by exposure to radioactive materials sounds a lot like homeopathy (except in this case it actually works)

Jump

  • But the definition is made up nonsense. The Simile principle and the definition of allopathy as opposite of a disease vector are false. The only active agents that could be defined as such opposites are antibiotics and virustatics.

    Alternative medicine kills, every day. So being scientific correct has nothing to do with being offended.

  • This is the bullshit homeopathy tells since the beginning.
    If true homeopaths would offer you influenza globuli against a flu but instead you get Aconitum napellus, an extremely poisonous flower.
    That's poison is then watered down till there isn't a single molecule of it left. Afterwards it is sprayed on globulis or further diluted in alcohol. But that's okay because homeopathy believes in the "memory of water" that is complete nonsense on it's own.

  • Vaccines have nothing in common with homeopathy.

    Vaccines are a preventive measure that expose your immune system to small amount of pathogens, their toxins or small parts of their genetic code (mRNA vaccines) to build up immunity and prevent or lessen future infections. Their effects are proven in multiple studies and meta studies.

    Homeopathy is quackery that dilutes organic or anorganic materials (that randomly got associated with symptoms, e.g. Berlin Wall against binding problems) to infinity to treat an existing condition.
    Every high-quality scientific study leads to the realisation that Homeopathy doesn't act beyond placebo effects.

    • Does anyone know of an interval timer that is not for workouts?

    Jump

  • Oh, you're right but some of them are up to ten years old. So they will look odd in best case.
    Good to know there are alternatives.

  • I think Break.Down.Timer is the only Pomodoro timer on F-Droid (or atleast the official repo)

    • Is there a list of instances that support free speech?

    Jump

  • He is referring to Twitter/X and Musk's idea of "free speech".

    • [SOLVED] [Help with Jellyfin] Metadata not downloading for House of Cards

    Jump

  • Had a similar problem with House of Cards a while ago. Renaming the show's folder "House of Cards (US)" resolved the problem.

    • Android users who don't use the stock launcher - what launcher do you use, and what do you like about it?

    Jump

  • To be honest, I can't remember where I got the apk and since its only a launcher without internet access I didn't really care about updates.

    The first search result (https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair) seems to be very active with the last change 9 hours ago.

    • Infinity For Lemmy update just dropped. dev is really active in the community

    Jump

  • It's amazing, I hope they find a way to implement multi-communities

    • Infinity For Lemmy update just dropped. dev is really active in the community

    Jump

  • Just downloaded and as a former Infinity for Reddit user it feels like home

    • Android users who don't use the stock launcher - what launcher do you use, and what do you like about it?

    Jump

  • LawnChair, it's open source, customizable and has drawer folders

    • Why do you use Lemmy over Kbin?

    Jump

  • Lemmy existed for longer so it had a bigger (dev) community, is more mature and had more and wider 3rd party app support.

    • Entirely Automated AI Powered News Site Runs on Linux AWS Server with Docker

    Jump

  • Yeah but that's the only reason to place their ad here

    • Hope this really becomes an annual event

    Jump

  • Yes, late Gen Z and I absolutely don't say this to not feel old

    • best foss peer to peer, encrypted file transfer app

    Jump

  • No, Syncthing isn't a self hosted cloud but a real p2p transfer tool.
    There are discovery servers enabling devices to find each other but files are rarely transferred through them.

    • How do those cockroaches breed so fast?

    Jump

  • Being annoyed by people caring about FOSS in their separate area on a FOSS platform is one thing. Calling people cockroaches is another...
    Get the f**k outta here when you can't handle other people enjoying themselves

    • Lemmy faces the same expectations problems as every free/libre software

    Jump

  • Which makes Karen behaviour even worse and incomprehensible but most people are humble and don't care to much about some minor problems and a little learning curve

    • ELI5: What is an immutable OS, in practical terms?

    Jump

  • An immutable distro, to my understanding, locks core components of Linux (mainly /sys afaik) from interaction from not only bad actors but also the user so that you can't fuck up you're system in a way like Linus from LTT (removing X11 by forcefully ignoring all warnings). Applications can be installed as Flatpak, AppImage, Snap or through OverlayFS from regular repositories.

    Advantages to (non- tech savvy) users are an additional layer against their own mistakes and easier support since the important stuff is identical on every install of the given distro.
