Vegan here. Sticking to the two questions you asked before you got lost in scope creep and logical fallacy: I get my food from the supermarket, mostly. And it scales way better than animal ag because farming plants requires radically less resources per calorie than farming animals.
Just like most other positive decisions in the world, it’s not revolutionary on it’s own. Nor is it aiming to be, nor does it need to be.
I don’t think any of the proxies or frontends have a good way around it yet, and google is clearly using it as a way to fuck with said frontends. Best practice suggestion: Every time you get cockblocked by something like this, you must send at least one friendly DM or message to the content creator suggesting they at least put a second copy of their content on a decentralized platform.
It’s important to maintaining my self-image as a cool and aloof guy that you know I’m not doing the nice thing out of the goodness of my heart.
I do this, not because I’m courteous but because if I take one from the outdoor corrals I don’t have to wait behind three grannies slowly selecting carts from the inside corral.
Although, I think the answer to the barrier to entry is to be less concerned with making federated services feel like centralized apps, more concerned with rebranding server select as the advantage that it actually is. Educate those people.
It’s not gatekeeping, none of the opinions shared here by Linus are categorically leftist. The person retweeting him is erroneously putting him into a box, or knows more about his full ideology than he’s shared in the tweet.
Sounds like a great way to get the functionality of bike lanes destroyed piecemeal as they’re adapted first and foremost to the use of oversized North American emergency vehicles. In the end you get pulled over by an asshole cop on your bike for riding in “the ambulance lane” and you’ve gotta pay the fine as you can’t miss work to dispute it.
No. Stand your ground here. Keep pushing back against the use of nonsensically oversized, outrageously expensive emergency vehicles. Cut down their argument at the ankles by bringing North American emergency response vehicles in line with the standards used by the rest of the world.
Low-weaponization nuclear reactors already exist, industrial-scale grid storage doesn’t, but yes the answer to this dispute would be much more clear if it did!
Only one type of reactor, the old uranium design, produces anything weapons grade (Which then requires an additional step to purify). Don’t use that reactor design.
My friend they just explained why you have to go so far back. The US government went absolute psycho mode on leftists in the 1930s at the end of the propaganda-of-the-deed era, deporting and executing people willy nilly often on mere suspicion. Right wing assassins get tried by the book because they aren’t an existential threat to the system, left wing assassins get their entire social milieu extra-judicially murdered.
Nuclear reactors do not need to use weapons-grade materials or byproducts.
I love subsidizing these jackoffs energy bills in my own power bill /s. 17c/kwh for me, 3c/kwh for Bezos… From the same supplier.
To an extent they’re right but probably not in the way they intended to be. Government subsidies help ensure that animal ag can be profitable and incentivized regardless of consumption levels, and the ever-expanding amounts of land required for most animal ag and it’s support infrastructure (eg feedstock production, a byproduct of industrial soy oil) literal fuel and are fueled by imperial expansion in a cyclic self-reinforcing fashion. If people stopped eating beef today without also protesting it’s existence you’d probably see the animal ag industry continue to run on it’s own fumes for years.
The straw thing was a manufactured distraction.
It’s way simpler to just farm something other than cows. Plants, maybe.
What if they advocate for nuclear power and say leave the solar panels up?
Don’t fuck around with Reddit, it’s become an unchecked consent-manufacturing machine masquerading as a web 2.0 forum and if you consistently speak your mind on there it’s only a matter of time until you get on some power-hungry moderator or admin’s shitlist with zero means to communicate or reciprocate. Save yourself the grief and leave it to die, it’s become literally what federated sites were created to make obsolete.
He’s gonna fire you anyway, leak harder.
Maybe. What about you, though?
