Honestly good points overall, but I will die on the other egg hill

Complete protection? Certainly not, but melanin does provide some protection from UV radiation. Still important to wear sunscreen because if a melanated individual where to get skin cancer it usually has a higher mortality rate because they're often caught late.
Epidemiological data strongly support the photoprotective role of melanin as there exists an inverse correlation between skin pigmentation and the incidence of sun-induced skin cancers (1) and subjects with White skin are approximately 70 times more likely to develop skin cancer than subjects with Black skin (67). The shielding effect of melanin, especially eumelanin, is achieved by its ability to serve as a physical barrier that scatters UVR, and as an absorbent filter that reduces the penetration of UV through the epidermis (68). The efficacy of melanin as a sunscreen was assumed to be about 1.5-2.0 sun protective factors (SPF);
I've said it somewhere earlier today, I'll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.
But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.
Vista was great. It just needed double the ram which was standard back then.
There are still functions of Vista MIA in w11. It was far ahead of it's time.
Definitely. People just had garbage computers.
I got a new computer a year after Vista came out. It came with Vista pre-installed. That thing lasted me 11 years, and the first three (2008-2011) WERE on Vista. That's how much I liked it.
People should be educated on FOSS software & Fediverse and try to use it whenever possible.
Python sucks.
Not only is it extremely inefficient, it is also a pain in the ass to work with if you have to use APIs that heavily rely on dynamic type wrapping and don't provide stubs. Static analysis via Pylance is not possible then and you're basically poking around in the dark, increasing the difficulty enourmously to get to know such an API. Even worse if there isn't even a halfway decent documentation.
I thought you were referring to Monty Python like op did and I thought: what the heck is he talking about?
Both employer related:

People on Lemmy aren't "normal" people and shouldn't use their personal views as the norm.
but we're on Lemmy π€
There shouldn't be borders.
I'd one up that and say there shouldn't be countries. The concept makes no sense. US propaganda always tries to make China and Russia out to be the "enemy" meanwhile when its Trump doing bad things, the world also says its the US causing problems. All of the sudden, what one or two bad people do somehow means the whole country is at fault. If we took out all the bad people and chucked them out, we could all just be people. No nations, no nothingβjust people.
Who sets laws and enforces them? But otherwise totally in favour of returning to monke
I'm with you. I didn't want to melt too many brains. I'm not up for it today honestly.
