People have to drive. That’s the way cities in North America are made, and I suspect the same applies in a lot of other countries.
There are people that enjoy driving, but when it becomes something you have to do in order to get chores done, it’s understandable if it’s not fun anymore.
These two points above make some kind of case for why I would say most people driving don’t actually want to be driving most of the time.
Now, we also have annoyances while driving. There is a street light I often have to wait at which will give me an eternal red light even when there is no traffic. There are a lot of cyclists here that want to be treated like cars, but don’t want to show the same considerations to cars. Basically, driving can be aggravating, and people may form bad habits in response: such as driving very close to cyclists to pass them without going into oncoming traffic, or racing to beat a red light at all costs.
In conclusion, I think a lot of people don’t really want to be driving, don’t stay mentally engaged while driving, and will act like assholes while driving because they expect other people to do the same to them and the driving experience is frustrating.
Nothing really. The mobile app is mainly to browse on the phone when not in front of the computer. I guess you can browse it in a phone’s browser but it’s more convenient, at least for me, to use an app.
None of them are ghee. They're all interesterified vegetable fat/ oils with ghee flavour added calling themselves "vegan ghee" to con the gulllible.
There's no harm in being vegan, but it is foolish to fall for unhealthy products because they brand themelves as vegan/ vegetable-based.
Stick to vegetable oils but ffs don't call them ghee.
Interesterified oils increase heart-disease risk by lowering HDL (good) cholesterol and raising LDL (bad) cholesterol, (like trans fats do). And they increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by raising fasting blood-glucose levels and decreasing insulin response. They also increase liver cellular stress markers.
Look up the effects of interesterified vegetable fat/ oils on a search engine of your choice and then read their labels before recommending them.

I'm no expert in these matters. But I can't imagine ghee (clarified butter) being very healthy either in large quantities. If you are vegan (which I'm not) this a way to taste the op's popcorn suggestion. I get the feeling you already had an opinion on the whole ghee/fake vegan ghee thing. And al I can say is, in the Indian cuisine, with a relatively large vegan population, fake ghee is a thing. Not some hipster hype.
This was about taste and cooking. Not about health. @fubo
India does not have a 'large vegan populatiion', it has a large 'vegetarian' population with milk, yoghurt (we call it curd/ dahi), paneer (cottage cheese), and ghee a part of the daily diet. Vegetable fat/ oils used in cooking instead of ghee are usually either raw or filtered or refined. Interestified vegetable oil/ fat is a relatively new product and is used by FMCG co.s as a replacement for palm oil in their products. Interestified vegetable oil also tastes nothing like ghee. Don't take my word for it, try it out yourself.
Any Indian touting vegan ghee will get laughed out of their home and get told to use the real thing.
The Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy by Patrick Rothfuss. It is not so much LotR becauseitt focuses on one main character. But it has a pretty clever and thoroughly thought out magic system and I for my part enjoyed the story. Link to openlibrary
It's the top level domain of the nation of Mali. But in this case, I've seen it referred to as an abbreviation for "Marxist-Leninist" because those Lemmy admins are Communists.
I mean, they are going to be pulling from a similar pool of users. While I agree philosophically that FOSS is better, I can imagine some of the paid features from someone being able to dedicate themselves full time to developing an app may be preferable.
I had a Flip 3, and while I loved the hardware, I strongly dislike One UI. I know it’s gotten a lot better in recent years, but it just isn’t as intuitive as Pixel OS (Does it have an official name? I know it’s not stock AOSP.)
But I’m in absolute love with my Fold. I agree with most of your cons, but they’re really not big deals for me.
Yea the hardware was top notch. It was even pretty reliable. But I had the same issue. One UI is better than TouchWiz by miles but still lacks that something that makes it smooth compared to the pixels.
But yes the cons definitely do not outweigh the pros
I’m using LOS rom without gapp and it works fine for me, but there are problems like bank app not working properly and some apps need google services. For apps that don’t work, there are many alternatives out there.
If I’m not mistaken huawei has an app called gspace, it can run google apps as usual, so there seems to be no problem if you upgrade your phone.
Average consumer these days eat all this shit up unfortunately.
People preorder any old shit, they buy the ultra deluxe editions because they get some red boots for a character and the new thing thats hot right now: X days early access!
People have 0 patience atm, they dont wanna wait a month to see if a game sucks or to save a bit of money, they fork over anything for anything and its completely ruined the triple A gaming scene, with it trickling down into less budgeted games now.
Spinning up an instance is akin to setting a web server. There’s a lot of personal information that gets tied to ownership of both domain and the hardware itself. This data is publicly known for those who know where to look at. Without the typical layers of privacy that shield anonymous users in big corporate services. Mostly due do payment information, whether you rent hardware or selfhost using some DNS registry rental from an IP provider. You’re out in the open hosting CSAM. You’d have local security forces in your home within the week in most developed and developing world countries.
On top of that, your instance would be immediately defederated by all other instances. So you’d be the only one on the hook for that crime.
