Yeah I don’t have any issues with you growing your own meat, I bet you take care of them. My issue is with industrial farming, not you.
I used to gut and skin animals my self to eat but I just don’t have to desire to do so anymore, I’m happy with plants.

I was agreeing with you against that thinking, sorry if that wasn’t clear
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 4 days ago:
It also doesn’t work if you’re not “antagonistic and smug”. People don’t like to change, so they aren’t going to change their eating habits.
It has nothing to do with how people talk to you and everything to do with you just liking meat.

The vocal minority of any group is delusional
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 4 days ago:
Being proud of yourself for not eating meat doesn’t stop the mass amounts of suffering in the farms though.
I became vegan once someone showed me what it meant to eat meat, had they not done that I’d still be eating animals grown in pens.

Sorry for the amp link,also it’s not the study but a summary of said study
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 4 days ago:
I mean I’m vegan and I’ve got nothing against hunters, like they said we’re animals and animals sometimes eat animals. Most vegans are against animal farming as there is no way to do it humanely on a large scale.
I personally wouldn’t eat a hunted animal, right now but if civilization was to fall it’s fair game.

The bullet also helped

They’d lose money in a sale as they’d lose their IP.

- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 3 weeks ago:
God could you imagine the security risks though, having a physical risk in a network, that would be fun. Limewire on steroids.
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 3 weeks ago:
I can speak from experience that content delivery is harder than storage. Companies like YouTube tackle the storage issue by having tiered storage levels. Trending content is stored on SSDs, new and often viewed content is stored on harddrives with a caching system similar to optane and archived storage (essentially old videos that very rarely get views) goes on tape storage. It’s really cool, and it allows massive about of storage in a small space, it’s costs alot to implement but because of the tape storage they essentially have “infinite” (it’s not really infinite of course but it’s a problem for next decade not this decade).
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 3 weeks ago:
Actually the cost issues wouldn’t be the storage it’s self. Storage is pretty cheap, it’s content delivery networks. YouTube is supported by being owned and run by one of the worlds larges content delivery networks. There’s virtually no latency, videos play immediately.
Having millions (potentially billions in YouTube’s case) of people accessing data at once is an immense challenge and YouTube perfected it pretty early on, that’s part of why there’s no competition.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
Oh for sure, I remember buying my first SSD and booting windows in under 10 seconds and being like whaaaat.
I am starting to think maybe I am a ram hog.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
It’s not worth trying to understand windows ram usage, it will drive any same person insane. The laptop uses intel optane as it’s main drive, which is slower than an SSD but much much lower latency so should actually be perfect for the job of being swap. But it shit the bed.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
Tabs of what? Chromes ram usage is more of a meme than an actual ram issue, windows will only allow an application to use so much ram depending on ram availability
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
I’m not forgetting that, but it won’t just clear that ram it will want to put it into swap, and depending on your storage speed that can slow tasks down. Making it quite stuttery.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
Her laptop just wasn’t having it, windows 11, windows was using 3.7gb ram took about 30 seconds for task manager to open. As soon as I upgraded the ram is was usable.
I checked for any surprising background services or anti virus software and there was nothing really
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
My girlfriends mum wanted to know why her laptop was slow… It was because HP thought that 4gb of ram is acceptable in 2022 (when the laptop was sold). Granted ram wasn’t as cheap then as it is now… Still I paid £30 for a brand new 8gb DDR4 sodimm, there’s not reason hp couldn’t do that. It’s annoying the corners these company cut.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
That’s because apple is a greedy grabby company who wants all your money. The easiest solution is to stop buying their products
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say 4gb is usable for the average consumer. Using the assumption they’re using windows 11 that’ll eat 3.7 ish GB of ram just idling.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
It’s worth mentioning that windows will use as much ram as possible just because it can and leave available with what it considers “reasonable”
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 3 weeks ago:
And here I am, putting 16gb in every machine I work on because it’s so damn cheap there’s no reason not to future proof
- Comment on Which of these VPS providers would you recommend? 3 weeks ago:
Out of that list I use OVHCloud. Their VPS are built on Epyc (atleast they are in London), which gives very high performance for a low price.
- Comment on Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites 3 weeks ago:
I’m happy to spend £10 to watch a movie at the cinema, but I refuse to spend £10 AND have to buy the movie to watch it again. I will watch it then pirate it. I don’t think that’s such a big deal.

Well that’s a 4.3% difference. I’d consider 4.3% significant
- Comment on Czech government invests six billion euros in new nuclear reactors 4 weeks ago:
I think they’re calling you a conspiracy theorist for understanding that nuclear is more consistent and safer energy than renewables. Which is an interesting reach.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
What’s batshit about it? As a society we do exactly that, we tell boys to like blue and girls to like pink.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
Male and Female aren’t genders, they’re Sex, Words used to describe biological makeup of a living creature, for example XX Chromosomes are Female, XY Chromosomes are Male, but there are also instances where XXY Chromosomes can happen, and things get a little tricky.
Gender is what we use to tell children how to behave based on their genetalia and cause dysphoria in them when they don’t want to do something but will get ostracized for doing what people with the other genetalia do.
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 1 month ago:
Good catch, but you know very well I meant that whilst what they’re doing is immoral, it’s not their fault that people refuse to educate themselves and move away from companies that produce products that “make their hardware unusable”. It’s not unusable, throwing it away is on the consumer.
