- Comment on Which guides to trust for novice / normie getting started? 1 week ago:
Preferably in an easy maintainable way. Like markdown in a git repo.
- Comment on People Believe If 90% Prefer A over B, A Must Be Much Better than B. Are They Wrong? 1 week ago:
Eg. Pretty much every group of people in the history of humanity. We tend to forget that we’re just dumb animals with dumb animal instinct sometimes.
- Comment on People Believe If 90% Prefer A over B, A Must Be Much Better than B. Are They Wrong? 1 week ago:
Isn’t that the tyranny of the majority? The fact that a larger percentage of the population does something, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the better thing.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 2 weeks ago:
Where do you think most of the world’s red meat is coming from? Brazil is one of the top producers and exporters of red meat, deforestation is ravaging the Amazon.
3rd world countries are not eating red meat, we are. The link between rich countries and meat consumption has been established for a long time now.Most cattle eat soy, not grass, that’s also a myth. Simply because soy is a whole lot cheaper, and a lot more abundant and easier to grow than grass.
We need soy, so we need monocultures of soy, and that’s catastrophic, just like you said.
Transport is actually not that big of a problem with red meat. Land usage and the actual cattle are. They’re the top source of GEG emissions from agriculture.
You were talking about thermodynamics earlier. Red meat is incredibly inefficient converting resources to usable calories. 1kg of beef requires 25kg of feed.
You’re also using a lot of straw men in your arguments, living in a grass hut instead of a concrete building, or electric vehicles for cattle transportation?
You can enjoy red meat but you can’t argue in good faith that it’s not completely awful for the environment at pretty much every level.
A few sources to support my claims:
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 2 weeks ago:
The problem is not only the farts, the problem is the absolutely humongous amount of feed and space cattle needs. Most crops grown around the world are used to feed cattle, just like most farmland is used to grow cattle. That’s what’s polluting, producing so much green house gases, deforesting, etc.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 2 weeks ago:
They don’t really need to bring it back, it’s always been there, just in other countries
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 2 weeks ago:
History taught us that corpos would literally burn the world for a few more bucks. And by history, I mean right now.

It’s just that eternity is a long time, especially towards the end

Keep in mind that these apps are run for profit by corporations. You meeting someone suitable and leaving the app, means less revenue for them.
So they can be fun to mess around for a while, but unless you’re extremely lucky, don’t expect long lasting relationships from them. - Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 5 weeks ago:
What do you mean ! Women got the right to vote by asking nicely, so did workers when they got the 40h work week. Same for black people and civil rights, all was achieved by gently kissing the ruling class boots.
- Comment on just beat it 5 weeks ago:
Percussive maintenance is a real thing!
- Comment on An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate 1 month ago:
LLMs and generative AI will do what social media did to us, but a thousand times worse. All that plus the nightmarish capacity of pattern matching at an industrial scale. Inequalities, repression, oppression, and corruption will skyrocket because of it. It’s genuinely terrifying.
- Comment on New server for the family, Proxmox or TrueNAS, LXC or Docker? 1 month ago:
Yeah, it’s started to roll out on their new hardware:
- Comment on New server for the family, Proxmox or TrueNAS, LXC or Docker? 1 month ago:
I’d not recommend Synology anymore, as they’re starting to implement vendor lock on their drives and NAS boxes. As in, you’ll have to use their drives for the Nas to work.
- Comment on They finally patched racism 1 month ago:
I mean, if that guy fixed his racism, literally everybody can, so that’s somewhat encouraging
- Comment on Owners of second homes in Wales are having to sell up. That’s no disaster: it’s a godsend 2 months ago:
Yeah that would make sense
- Comment on Owners of second homes in Wales are having to sell up. That’s no disaster: it’s a godsend 2 months ago:
I wish I owned my home but unfortunately, I don’t have rich parents :(
- Comment on Owners of second homes in Wales are having to sell up. That’s no disaster: it’s a godsend 2 months ago:
Because it’s not unreasonable to have a primary home and maybe a vacation home, or a family home, or a rental. More than that is absurd.
The scarcity would decrease pretty fast, coupled with a situation where private companies can’t own houses and apartments, that would pretty much solve it - Comment on Owners of second homes in Wales are having to sell up. That’s no disaster: it’s a godsend 2 months ago:
Allow one primary house, and a second one, tax the rest to fucking oblivion if not sold within a reasonable time frame
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 2 months ago:
Voice and video is always tricky to handle. I hope you find out what the problem is !
- Comment on Trump must realise Putin is obstacle to peace, Zelenskyy says 2 months ago:
Zelenskyy should give Trump a plane and a mobile MacDonald’s, the conflict would end within a day.
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 2 months ago:
Pretty much, especially now with NextCloud Talk, which they are working on to compete with teams.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 2 months ago:
It would be very naïve to think they won’t go against Wikipedia and the fediverse at some point unfortunately…

They watched Conclave too !
- Comment on It would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generate 2 months ago:
It’s bad because it uses tons of space and resources that could be used for other things. It also promotes mono culture and it usually uses fertilizers and pesticides that are not necessarily allowed on other crops, as they won’t be used as feed.
So, it’s bad for biodiversity, bad for land use, bad for resource use. The upside of being a low carbon fuel is completely offset by the impact it has on nature. - Comment on It would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generate 2 months ago:
Don’t compare nuclear and renewables, compare both to fossil fuels and greenwashing garbage like biomass and bio ethanol.
- Comment on Right-wing media generating hysteria over trans women running non-competitively in London Marathon 2 months ago:
They threw tantrums when a cis woman won boxing matches at the Olympics.
- Comment on 4chan has been down since Monday night after “pretty comprehensive own” 3 months ago:
The only reason I could see to fork 4chan would be to be even more degenerate. So I guess that’s a safe bet.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ 3 months ago:
Not shitting outside, and catching or dying from treatable diseases, and income tax if they get a job. If they don’t have to live outside, everyone benefits.
- Comment on German experiment gave people a basic monthly income – the effect on their work ethic was surprising 3 months ago:
The downside is less money towards the rich
