- Comment on KFC drops pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in the UK 5 weeks ago:
I used to work at KFC and it was someone’s job every day to sort through the ‘on the bone’ chicken (stuff you get in buckets) to throw out broken bones, giblets, feathers etc.
Firstly, only this kind of chicken came from the UK. The rest is from mainland Europe before being marinated and shipped, which seemed unnecessarily inefficient.
Secondly, good god is the state of the chicken you get horrifying. I kid you not it set me towards becoming vegan. But compared to the chicken you get in a supermarket (say, an Asdas roast chicken) it is scrawny, frail, and so easily broken and poorly cleaned. The breading and frying process makes it look way more “full”.
Between farmers and businesses these birds are a source of untold horror AND a vector of our next potential pandemic, whether it be H5N1 or something else. Not even before we consider the totally unsustainable nature of farming poultry both ecologically and economically.
- Comment on Is there any truth to this? 1 month ago:
because bluesky has had a collective struggle session recently with the twitter posters migrating over and realising they’re not actually being welcomed in open arms, usually when they out themselves with shit like genocide denial and transphobia.
- Comment on Is there any truth to this? 1 month ago:
just because the middle aged white guy with terrible opinions isn’t catered to on platforms where the first users were ones fed up with middle aged white guys with terrible opinions, doesn’t mean there’s a problem, if anything it indicates federated social media is resistant to bullshit

- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 2 months ago:
“turn this place into an echo chamber” motherfucker Lemmy world has 10 times the users, and the only “echo chamber” shit I see is insistent Kamala Harris cope and seethe whenever someone mentions Israel or Palestine.
Meanwhile Lemmy . world mods change the TOS to spite individual communities, ban discussion of piracy despite it being perfectly legal and present on a different instance! Grow up.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 2 months ago:
US Democrat members get upset that the instance with 1600 users doesn’t agree with their opinions
- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 2 months ago:
Every influx of users and the usual suspects who are DESPERATE to have Lemmy turn into Reddit start pissing and shitting themselves that maybe their American liberal opinions arent dominant anymore.
This shit is pathetic.
- Comment on A decline in arable land 2 months ago:
The graphic mentions that a decrease in land area on the graphs might also imply increased density of farming, less commercial farming for economic reasons
- Comment on Labour backtracks on push for genocide ruling on China’s treatment of Uyghurs 2 months ago:
If the UK were to punish China over its treatment of Uyghur Muslims, they’d have to contend with
-
Most of China’s policies regarding Muslims in the region are in practice more permissive than the UK’s, which would open the UK up to legal cases against its treatment of refugees, immigrants, and Muslims in general.
-
There is blatantly more evidence of a genocide going on with active UK participation through daily RAF flights over Lebanon and Gaza, which would open them up to domestic rulings against weapons transfers to Israel.

- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII gets Windows system requirements with Linux and macOS details later 2 months ago:
The reason it’s windows only is because they’re using denuvo, which doesn’t work on Mac/Linux.

- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 4 months ago:
True, though for most game/graphics developers you’re never interfacing directly with the graphics API, you’ll let your chosen engine/library do the heavy lifting.
It does have the downsides of increasing the barrier to entry for custom/bespoke engines but those edge cases seem to be covered well by DXVK.
