  • A couple of them fall into the “technically true, but misleading territory” - I’m sure the person handing this out couldn’t identify which though - broken clock right twice a day and all

    “Can you reverse effects” - no you can’t make your immune system forget how to work. Probably not what they are going for here though.

    “Risk of […] or other side effects?” - yeah the vaccines generally give people a headache and short lived fever symptoms

    “Have there been deaths?” - The astrazeneca vaccine had like a 0.000001% mortality risk (more likely to die driving to the pharmacy), and was pulled in many countries because that was deemed too dangerous. Person handing out the flyer has likely been parroting “mRNA vaccines cause blood clots” nonsense for years while being completely unaware that AZ was a traditional viral vector vaccine

    “Are there doctors recommending NOT taking it” - yeah, there are many notable anti-vaccine doctors, what they typically have in common is they earned their doctorate in computer science, social studies, or some other field that gives them no qualifications to talk about immunology

    Disable automatic updates then. snap --help

    IMO snaps were prematurely pushed but that’s about it - they were a worse experience like two years ago when canonical started pushing them and almost every app had some quirk due to the sandboxing, but they have improved to the point that I literally can’t remember the last time I encountered an issue with the snap version of a program (granted I only really use snaps when something isn’t available as a .deb or there is a conflict)


  • It’s a package format that bundles all required libraries, that way you don’t run into the issue with program A requiring library version <1.1 and program B requiring library >1.3.

    It leads to larger binaries because these dependencies are bundled, but it solves the issue with old/minimally maintained software not working on new OS versions because they depend on an ancient version of libssl or something.
