The dairy and meat lobbies are something else. It’s like smoking in the fifties.

It’s well established that there are serious health concerns when you consume animal produce (not to mention environmental and animal welfare ones), yet the industry keeps pushing back on plant-based alternatives.

Rob ,

Yeah, machine learning is going to be great for the protein revolution. For Qorn they had to run thousands of experiments to find something that tasted good. Imagine if you can model millions of experiments and already weed out 98% of proteins…

Rob ,

Try watching the documentary “You are what you eat” on Netflix, it’s a good intro that covers the health risks of other animal products as well.

Rob ,

Thanks for looking that up. I’m no dietician or medical expert myself, so I have to go by the more easily digestible media. That does run the risk of being more sensationalised.

One thing I did take away from the Netflix series was that both the omnivore diet and vegan one were designed to be well-balanced. Everything in moderation works well, I suppose.

    Do you have any skills you can use?

    You can also sign up for medical trials.

    Fashion clothes

    Better yet: buy long-lasting stuff that is ethically produced. Primark is notoriously bad in this regard — but most fast fashion stores are.

    Soap of any kind. It’s fine if you want a certain smell, but at the end of the day it all works the same. Goes for hand soap, shampoo, detergent, body wash, etc.

    Rob ,

    A lot of people seem to agree with you, so I’ll reassess my stance on the shampoo.

    As a person with a short cut, every run of the mill shampoo has done its job. But of course your hair needs to last longer when you grow it out; so adverse effects have more time to pile up.

    Rob ,

    Well obviously not… Because the nose wheel fell off.

    Rob ,

    I say there are some fair applications of SaaS. If you use a product that requires servers to be running, paying a recurring cost for however long you need the software is fair.

    That being said, mandatory SaaS on a physical product with upfront cost is decidedly shitty. Especially when it’s a 50k car.

    I made the switch to full Bluetooth a few years back.

    Honestly don’t ever miss the headphone jack nowadays, but I’ll admit that making the initial jump was a bit of a hassle.

    Rob ,

    (yes I wash them)

    I had assumed as much, but you explicitly saying so just makes me doubt it.

    Rob ,

    I hope it’s not actual wild life. If it is: don’t bloody feed it.

    Since Queue has already been posted: Quay. Now spelled Kee.

    Rob ,

    Ehh… “He had one chance to do something great” almost makes it sound a bit positive. It wouldn’t have come close to making up for the complete shit stain he left on human history.

    Good riddance indeed.

    Rob ,

    Celebrated!

    Rob ,

    You should’ve acted. He’s already here.

    If there’s one dish where I feel it’s a waste to eat animal meat, it’s hamburgers. Vegetarian alternatives have come a long way and in a burger they’re often the superior option.

    There’s a small difference for sure, but the BM patties are far from inferior. And much of the difference is masked by condiments anyway.

    Rob ,

    It doesn’t help, but there are a few factors that are more limiting right now. Labour shortage is one, as are nitrogen emissions. A lot of developers also find the current building costs too high.

    There are plenty of plots that can be built on, with all of the paperwork good to go.

    Rob ,

    I swore off Samsung for this reason after I had the S3. I thought the bloatware situation had gotten better over the years…

    Had a few devices with stock Android that I really liked (such as the Nexus 5 and Moto X) over the years, but even then it’s difficult to escape some of the built-in bullshit.

    Kind of gave up on that and switched to iPhone a few years back… You still get the mandatory vendor apps, but at least now I also get the ecosystem benefits.

    Rob ,

    Edit: Wow, I didn’t expect this to take off like this. Thanks for all the upvotes! xD

    Rob ,

    This feels a bit surreal. After all of the scandals over the past few years, I hadn’t expected this to be the breaking point. I think it’ll be good for the Netherlands to get a soft reboot of politics. Most of the country was very much fed up with Rutte.

    Not sure where we’ll go from here. I hope GroenLinks and PvdA together can gather lots of support. If not…

    I, for one, welcome our new BBB overlords.

    Rob ,

    Lots of love for Bitwarden in this thread; I’d also like to pitch in with 1Password. It’s got a great UX and I even got my mom on board.

    Used to use Lastpass since ~2013; really glad I switched last year. Lastpass has turned to absolute shit.

    Rob ,

    I think China could use some realpolitik here. They have very little to gain by invading Taiwan, and a lot to lose. If they could change their policy and work towards a clean split, I doubt Taiwan would keep insisting that they’re the true China. And they would earn a lot of goodwill throughout the world.

    I don’t think Reddit will see a huge drop in users in the short term. But hopefully this whole kerfuffle will give a big enough boost to Lemmy to kickstart its network effect.

    Engagement is the most important thing to be striving for right now!
