Yeah, if the software is supported and your hardware is sufficient. I don't run home automation so I don't know. But evcc works great!

Agreed. The tagline "lightweight justice" always sounded strange to me as well. They could definitely go with a friendlier, more mainstream design.

I find it very funny that it says 0.2% in the picture and you describe it as "around 0.0%" in the headline. Don't know, makes me chuckle.

It's still Police in helicopter

You sound like you need a hug. What can I say? Life has always been a scam for many, but we didn't hear most of their stories. Now we do and it sometimes affects our mental health. I try to focus on stuff I can make a difference. I wish you all the best, take care.

Kurzgesagt explained it very well

An average broiler chicken diet is composed of 42.8% corn and 26.4% soybeans for protein, and about 14% bakery meal.

Edit: 25 million chicken are getting killed daily in the US.

I used to love cheese and I agree. There is no perfect replacement, yet. Making udder cheese is complicated (and weird!) and thousands of years old, plant based cheese just a decade. If you're not ready to make compromises, then start somewhere else. You don't have to go all in, change step by step. Choose a meal that you like to cook and veganise it. Or learn a new one, there are billions of modern and traditional recipes from around the world.
Buy oat milk and stick with it for a couple of weeks. It's just a taste, you will learn to like it eventually.

You're wrong about buying local, though. Transport is only about 2% of the emissions at the most.

"Human workers are treated badly" ticks the Vegan Bullshit Bingo #23:
There are more important subjects

Absolutely! Fortunately, being vegan doesn't mean you can't care about anything else. We have to eat either way. Why not something ethically and ecologically justifiable, then? We hardly have such a big lever as through our choice of food - 3x a day. And a look at the environmental, humanitarian and global health consequences of animal-based foods quickly shows how important and urgent this issue is, and how much people and the environment benefit from it.

Yes I could. But I'd swap the cheese and milk-stuff for a plant based alternative, because of the suffering, the destruction and the annihilation that comes with animal agriculture. I don't want to pay for this, be a part of it just because I was raised accustomed to the taste. There are great alternatives. But first, you gotta educate yourself, watch the videos. I used to be just as irritated as you.

Had to look up Virtue signalling. Yes sir, I do. The character is fictional, but the killer hUmOuR is real. Bacon btw. Enjoy your upvotes.

Haha, he killed the Peppa Pig! Get it?? Because WE kill pigs too and eat them. So funny, right!? A dead pig like the millions of others, haha! Now I want a sandwich, haha!

I use Syncthing to sync DCIM and Pictures folders from Android to my computer. Every six month or so, I move pictures from these folder to the folder for this years pictures: home/pictures/2025. So they disappear from my phone as well, which is great to free up space. This works great for me.

I think it's not that complicated. There is this quote from Jeremy Bentham:

The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?

Which they obviously can, right? Watch the videos.
Now let's not focus on them but on us, that's easier: We are at a point in history where we (you and me) don't need to kill animals anymore to survive. It is even harming us, clocking our arteries, destroying ecosystems. We live in a society where you can go buy plant-based alternatives that are cheaper and healthier, processed stuff like schnitzel and sausages, but also notorious superfoods like lentils and tofu. Happy Eat your Beans-day, by the way.
So we could solve like a quarter of the climate catastrophe, save millions on health care (I'm European) and human lifes by ditching saturated fat, slow down or even prevent further antibiotic resistance and free billions of sentient beings from short miserable lifes. But most of us choose not to, because they're accustomed to a taste.

5 is great. Never stop donaldducking.

2: I'm a Bitwig fan-boy. Buy this great piece of software, have tons of fun and never use third party VSTs again. Sound design, modulate everything, wow! You can run many Windows VSTs using yabridge. Reaper might be a good choice for a DAW as well, it's a little more classic and has plugins and scripts for everything.

Off-topic:
I'm always tempted to write it out. The word is in everybody's mind while we read the text. It gets so powerful if people decide to talk around it. But if the context is not hurtful, it's just a word. Nothing happens. It becomes an insult if the mind of the one who says it or the one who reads it decides to make it one.
Plus the assholes who use it as a slur will say it anyway. We're not achieving anything by erasing it from our bubble.
Well, that's what I think about it. :)

What are you talking about? It says 40% are male and killed as veal within a week.

I think I made by point and presented enough sources. I'm obviously not going to change your mind at this time.

An example of what people accept as normal:

In 2020, 4.9 million dairy calves were born in New Zealand. Exact numbers are not collected on the outcome of each calf, but NZ dairy industry lobby organisation DairyNZ estimate that of those:

2 million (40%) were bobby calves, who are killed around a week after birth.

1.4 million (28%) were female cows kept by dairy farmers to replace the 20-30% of older cows who will be slaughtered every year when they are no longer deemed productive.

1.3 million (27%) were raised to maturity for beef. Beef animals are generally slaughtered when they reach maturity at around one and half years old.

196,000 (4%) were born dead or die shortly after birth.

It's not a byproduct. 80% of global soy is grown to feed animals.
