Lee Duna@lemmy.nzOPto News@lemmy.world•Trump threatens 200pc tariffs on medicineEnglish0·2 months agoIs this one of those things where I go and check where most American drugs are made and it’s already the us?
Just by looking at the value of drug imports to the US, most likely
Britain exports £8.8bn of pharmaceutical products to the United States and is home to some of the world’s largest drug companies including GSK and AstraZeneca.
Mr Trump’s drug tariffs would be especially punitive for Ireland, which is responsible for 28pc of America’s imported drugs.
The country, which exports $66bn worth of pharmaceuticals, has 30,000 people currently employed in plants by US drug companies.

Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Linux@programming.dev•The year of the European Union Linux desktop may finally arriveEnglish6·3 months agoIn my opinion, EU needs to force PC/laptop and other hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for Linux. Without this step, it will make it harder for them to move away from M$ Windows.

(Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Linux@programming.dev•Here's why Linux market share isn't going to skyrocket anytime soonEnglish2·3 months agoHardware support really sucks, as many hardware manufacturers only care about supporting M$ Windows.
There’s a way to force them to provide drivers for Linux, let’s say the trade commission in any country forces all devices to have drivers for Linux.
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Linux@programming.dev•My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows for Ubuntu to see how it goesEnglish3·4 months agoMy laptop did not go to sleep
Some people have similar experiences regarding sleep issue, including system just went blank on wake up.
From my experiences on Linux Mint in two different laptops, the sleep issue related to Linux system cache. By default, many Linuxes use these settings, vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background_ratio are about 5 to 20 percent of the available system memory. This is fine if your system has less than 4GB of memory installed, but if your system has 8GB or more of memory, this can cause problems later on.
So I have this “can’t wake up” issue on my two differents laptop, the first laptop has 8 GB of memory and the second laptop has 16 GB. And both laptops are running on Linux Mint.
In search of a solution, I came across this conversation https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/25/39
I also found some possible system cache related issues on various distros.
So I tried what Linus suggested, and I use lower values than suggested. And it worked!, the “can’t wake up” issue on both laptops just gone in instant!

I remember some people kept mocking Linux desktops for lack of HDR support, which was strange because they were also using Linux for application development purposes.
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Linux@programming.dev•"I installed Linux (so should you)" by PewDiePieEnglish22·5 months agonot a fan of PDP, but the video has been viewed 2.8 Million times in less than 24 hours. nearly beat his 3 Million video views from 3 weeks ago
yeah it looks good, at least Linux gains more attention
My next issue is that sometimes it just hard-freezes. Zero warning, under no load, I can’t even move the mouse. Linux on the desktop
You may want to consider fixing the system cache value.

I use lower values than Linus suggested.

Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is the 'stuck' economy a global phenomenon? Americans share frustrations about not being able to get ahead despite education - is this a universal experience?English0·8 months agoIt also happens in Asia, I can say that some of them are similar to what you said. In my country, many young people have a hard time finding a job even if they are university graduates. Necessities is getting more expensive.
There are also many people and households who are trapped in huge debts from online loans.
Many small businesses stuck or fail, only the business of the oligarchs can survive. and their business destroys small businesses and harms the people.
I would like to try Solus along with other Linux, unfortunately Solus uses systemd-boot rather than GRUB. 😔😔
