- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
A vegan diet - which only contains plant-based foods - can lead to deficiencies in calcium, iodine and other vital mineral nutrients. This is particularly risky for people who need extra nutrients and for growing children and adolescents. For these reasons, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung (DGE) [German Nutrition Society] advises against following a completely vegan diet.

On a small scale yeah. The sun heats rocks and they’re able to store heat for up to an hour or so. Cats can attest to that.
Same with large bodies of water; the ocean, lakes, pools, etc.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
It wasn’t a personal attack, I could see how it could be read that way but the second sentence was a point of science not insult. It’s hard to convey intention in text.
They are just my observations and interactions with vegans, and the science is clear that most vegans have nutritional deficiencies. It is extremely difficult to actually get everything you need without meat, and you essentially have to plan every single meal in a food planner. I know… I’ve tried it and even planned to a tee it is near impossible to have a balanced diet without meat. I wish it was.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
Every vegan I’ve ever spoke with is rude, condescending, and Iamverysmart material. Probably due to lack of essential amino acid intake for proper brain function.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 3 months ago:
Yes I know a lot of people on .ml are not tankies but .ml admin is repeatedly banned anti tankies discussion. See my other comment above. Look at the modlogsand you’ll find people being banned for critical thinking. I blocked the instance because Lemmy <> lemmy.ml . The code can always be forked.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 3 months ago:
I’ve seen multiple posts from people who were banned from .ml and I looked at the removed comments and modlog myself, and people are being banned for even mild general discussion of topics debating the legitimacy of totalitarian communist policy.

.ml is terrible. They actively ban people who aren’t tankies. Reasonable discussion is not allowed there. If there is one instance that should be defeated it is .ml
- Comment on Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature 3 months ago:
lol
- Comment on Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature 3 months ago:
I believe they do use just as much RAM as current tabs, it’s just computers are better at handling it now.
Mozilla makes reference to them eating RAM, but I’m not 100% sure.
Use fewer tabs
Each tab requires Firefox to store a web page in memory. If you frequently have more than 100 tabs open, consider using a more lightweight mechanism to keep track of pages to read and things to do, such as:
Bookmarks. Hint: “Bookmark All Tabs” will bookmark a set of tabs. Save web pages for later with Pocket for Firefox. To-do list applications.
- Comment on Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature 3 months ago:
This is a good thing, but just as a pet peave - why do people keep so many tabs open on desktop web browsers? Every new tab uses more memory. Computers were not designed to have 100s of tabs open. There is no way anyone actually actively uses 100 tabs, and I see people all the time with so many tabs you can hardly even see what is there. There is a thing called bookmarks and folders for storing commonly visited sites on a computers hard disk rather than temporary RAM…
But I do think it is good firefox is adding the capability, as grouping can be useful if done right in moderation. But it’s just kind of funny the person asking for the feature admits to having huge amounts of tabs open.
- Comment on Microsoft now permits uninstalling Edge, Bing, and OneDrive to adhere to the EU's Digital Markets Act. 3 months ago:
It’s due to the war (obviously). War does that to society. Look how much Americans and Germans hated each other but 70 years later there is not one bit of hate between the cultures.
It will take time but if the war in Ukraine ever ceases, a few decades from now people in Russia and the west will eventually make amends. That is of course if a non authoritarian government succeeds in Russia. Which doesn’t seem all that likely.
- Comment on Now that search engines suck, people will start to bookmark again. 3 months ago:
SearXNG is better in some ways. It’s a more literal search and doesn’t try to guess what you’re thinking as much as Google or DDG.

SaaSS (service as a software substitute) bullshit
It is common for SaaSS dis-services to charge a monthly fee for use. Usually one SaaSS site does not substitute for another, so if users become unhappy with one dis-service provider it is no easy matter to switch to another. When users become dependent on one, it can gouge them at will with repeated small price increases that over time add up to a lot. We view the loss of freedom inherent in SaaSS as worse than the cost in money, but when a dis-service has you over a barrel, the cost can be painful. Thus, even users who don’t see deeper than the bottom line should beware of SaaSS.
Businesses should host their own servers.

- Comment on Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs 4 months ago:
You’re not really convincing anyone.
Like 90% of everyone here already uses Linux, and those who do use Windows only use it because they are forced to because of work or some proprietary program need that Linux doesn’t currently meet.

Just as a minor correction - Librecalc can do tables. Why they didn’t call it tables and bind it to CTRL&T is beyond me though. link
select the cells -> Data -> AutoFilter
I create them with CTRL&T through the custom shortcuts in options. They work about the same as Excel.
Librecalc is a little rough, but I’m actually starting to find it superior in functionality and customization compared to MS.
And definitely use dark mode if you’re going to use calc. Options -> Application Colors -> LibreOffice Dark
- Comment on Elon Musk Bought Twitter to Settle His Jet-Tracking Beef, New Book Claims 4 months ago:
1 ton per person for living quarters, supplies, etc. I’m not sure if life support is part of that, and also not sure how exactly they settled on 1 ton.
SpaceX has stated that Starship, in its “baseline reuseable design”, will have a payload capacity of 100–150 t (220,000–331,000 lb)
- Comment on Best TV box for connecting to streaming services? 4 months ago:
I believe the general consensus is that hooking a smart TV to the Internet is generally a bad idea.
- Comment on Elon Musk Bought Twitter to Settle His Jet-Tracking Beef, New Book Claims 4 months ago:
As much as I personally dislike Musk, Starship does not belong on that list. It is the largest and most powerful space vehicle humanity has ever launched successfully and landed!. It is re-usable and can potentially carry up to 100 people or 300,000 lbs of cargo.
Nothing like that has ever been done before, and the advancements in science that will follow humanities expansion into space, cannot be overstated.
- Comment on Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge 4 months ago:
because it has the potential to be sustainable, cheaper, and less explosive. It’s not technically superior as far as energy density goes, but right now batteries are prohibitive in many applications, moreso due to cost than weight.
- Comment on Best TV box for connecting to streaming services? 4 months ago:
I mean the Vero V seems to be a nice polished experience. It’s just a lot of work to setup a linux box and get it to work, the latter being the hard part. The wiimote and the flirc have some comments in reviews about being poor experiences, and I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap. I don’t mind paying a little bit extra for a finished solution, and it seems like a plus that the Vero is a community/libre project.

- Comment on Best TV box for connecting to streaming services? 4 months ago:
I would 100% do this (minus the pirating part) if there was a way to get a tv style remote for the box. That’s the biggest obstacle for me because I’ve never been able to find a PC/tv remote and non technical users will be using the TV.

Sodium is the future of batteries right now.
Projections from BNEF suggest that sodium-ion batteries could reach pack densities of nearly 150 watt-hours per kilogram by 2025. And some battery giants and automakers in China think the technology is already good enough for prime time. 1
