Wegovy is approved for people with obesity, or genetics that lead to obesity. It’s also not a general purpose weight loss product, it’s for people who can’t control their weight without medication.
“Canonical only having snap releases was harmful to adoption. I liked using lxd, but uninstalled snapd (forgetting lxd used it), and my vms obviously stopped. Snap wouldn’t reinstall properly (various inscrutable errors), so I moved it all over to libvirt. I’d still be happily using lxd if it weren’t for Canonical’s...
They want Ubuntu users to use snap, which unsurprisingly isn’t very popular.
One of the main arguments for picking Ubuntu over Debian was the installation process, but Debian made the installation process much easier, by allowing non-free firmware.

The European Union wants elderly people (70+) to undergo medical tests from now on to prove that they are still capable of driving a car every five years. However, the proposal has been met with a lot of criticism.
I don’t feel that needs to be regulated by the EU, it’s fine that the general rule is that there has to be 5-year checks, and the rest is up to the individual member states.
