I was referring to Linux nerds, piracy anarchists, privacy/foss fanatics, etc. All of which are great, but may scare off new users.
Tankies are definitely a bit of a problem, although they usually stick to their own instances. Luckily I haven’t encountered much if any racism on here. Where are you seeing it?
I think there are more “intense” people here (in a good way), but reddit can more aggressive and negative in general on the big subreddits.
+1 for ferns.
They love low light, they’re easy to care for, and they look great hanging. And most are 100% cat safe.
(as an aside, most toxic houseplants are unlikely to cause more than irritation or an upset stomach unless the cat eats a lot of it.)
There is evidence of risks from just meat in general, but yes, it’s primary red meat and meat cooked at high heat that are the concerns.
There are other nutrients than vitamin c and a, but If you’re eating a high seafood diet and lots of liver, great.
Low carb isn’t going to magically protect you from cancer and heart disease. Studies don’t have to be specifically on low carb diets to be valid. Also ‘may be a significant risk factor’ is normal scientific wording for finding a statistical correlation.
the intuit lived without plants, and without cancer I don’t think we have evidence for that, and I’m not sure it’s even relevant.
More importantly though, even the best farming practices, there is no sustainable or environmentally friendly way to produce meat. Again, I’m not sure what the Inuit have to do with that, given how different our modern meat industry is. But growing food, feeding it to animals (who produce greenhouse gasses), and eating those animals is an extremely inefficient and destructive way to get food. Not to mention the horrific treatment, enslavement, and killing of those animals.
There are many, many, studies showing these links. I don’t think keto is relevant in assessing the risk of meat itself.
And no, meat is not biocomplete. You’ll eventually run into vitamin deficiencies if you don’t eat anything else. Although you can always supplement.

Though I do purchase my meat directly from a sustainable farm.
Even if it’s relatively “sustainable” compared to other meat production, it still has an enormous environmental cost compared to plant foods.
I don’t expect to change your mind about this, and if this diet is the only thing that works for you personally to address your gut issues, so be it, I can’t really fault you for that.
But anyone else reading this should know that it’s neither healthy nor sustainable.
Keto is interesting, I haven’t personally tried it, but I definitely think it can be a useful tool, even if we don’t know how safe it is long term. However there are plant based ketogenic diets, so I don’t think that really supports a carnivore diet. It still remains that meat is linked to heart disease and cancer.
Nutrient density and bioavailability is a fair point, but nothing that can’t be compensated for by either eating more of certain foods or supplements within a plant based diet. And even if you were convinced that meat is necessary anyway, how is a full meat diet better than a mixed diet?
As far as ethics and environmental cost, while I agree with you that it could be less bad, meat production will never be ethical, nor sustainable. Raising cows for example, even with the most natural methods, still uses an enormous amout of resources including land and water for feed. And unless you’re somehow capturing the methane produced, that has a significant environmental cost as well.
The current reality of the meat industry today is much worse, though. If you’re eating meat today, you’re supporting today’s meat industry.
What evidence do you have that it’s healthy? Everything I’ve seen points to meat being linked to things like heart disease and cancer.
Also, how do you rationalize choosing a diet that maximizes animal suffering and environmental harm?
This sounds nice if the apartments were a bit bigger and airbnb was banned, but I can’t say I would enjoy living there as is.
I definitely think the newer design looks better, although it is less functional and has more unnecessary crap. I definitely prefer the compact view over the the card view. Back when I still used Reddit I used the old design with custom css though.
When the game first launched, you needed to disable AVX512 for it to work. Now it works fine without doing anything. It does still occasionally crash or freeze for me when loading into a game though.

Doesn’t Linux already have a bunch of forks? I’m using the CachyOS kernel, for example

Well, I currently have my browser set to fake my user agent as windows on my linux desktop. So it’s not overestimated in every case. I suspect it’s a bit higher than the true percentage, but not by very much.
Well, Solidworks is the industry standard, but I think NX wins on capabilities, and Fusion has a much better workflow. Both are still corporate though.
I hope we get a good open source option, because Freecad is so far behind the rest that it’s basically unusable.
I 100% agree. I don’t mind design refreshes. I think I’m in the minority of loving the current Firefox logo.
But this just sucks. They really took their unique, clever wordmark logo (but still very modern and minimal!) and replaced it with a bland, trendy 2022 typeface.
I know this is super petty, but this might convince me to find another password manager and method for syncing tabs. Might try librewolf, too. Rebranding invites users to re-evaluate their view on a brand, and mine isn’t changing for the better.
Very interesting, although I’d like to see how different threadiverse software like mbin fits into this.
I don’t think so. A daggerboard or centerboard has a similar purpose, but by definition is not a keel.
The US isn’t the only country, and I bet people using the fediverse skew heavily toward android in the US anyway.
