  Not entirely true. Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals.

  Which leaves certain gray areas regarding the consumption of sentient beings. For instance, eating roadkill does not cause suffering for animals. Similarly, when Inuit people hunt animals, although it may cause suffering, it is their only means of survival. There are also instances where the only available medication contains animal products. Additionally, killing a human or non-human animal in self-defense when you haven’t intentionally put yourself in that situation would be vegan.

  On the other hand, the consumption of non-sentient items does not have to be vegan. For example, milk, eggs, and honey cause suffering for the animals that produce them.

  Regarding the consumption of a CEO, one could argue that killing is a form of self-defense and that eating them doesn’t increase their suffering. Along with the net positives effects on the world, it could be considered very vegan.

  I thought that was for the sum of all positive integers (1+2+3+…). The sum if ones converges to -½.

  You can block instances yourself, I personally don’t like when an instance makes that decision for me.

  80% of our produced energy goes to aluminium smelting.

  I hated the guards that said “Simon says jump!” and then whenever people only jumped once they were shot instantly because “Simon didn’t say stop jumping!”

  Not only do they fail, it is pretty hard to hit the right spot. Too many animals are merely paralyzed by the bolt, and are fully capable of feeling the blade across their throat.

  Same, but after unlocking the bootloader, it had a very clean LineageOS install.

  Exactly why I left that company.

  Specifically free (libre) licences, as permissive licences allow corporations to improve/adapt the software without contributing back to the community.

  I only work on software with GPL compatible licences now.

  I was working for a place that was the market leader in a certain niche of simulation software. Their simulation was about 10x more efficient than their competitors. However, that version of the software is strictly off limits for the public, and made a version which they sold with a sleep statement so that it was only 1.1x faster than the next best solution. That way they could remain market leaders any time the competitors released a better version. Even though many systems rely on growing simulations to simulate bigger scenarios that could help save lives.

  Just an example of capitalism impeding progress.
