  • You know that livestock needs to eat, right ? And they eat a ton of food, we spend a lot of resources just to produce their food, and about health, the healthy amount of meat is way less that people eat today, people should eat less meat, not everyone needs to stop, but they should reduce.

  • Curators are a good way too, some blogs or podcasts do a lot of heavy lifting in discovering new shows, some communities with similar tastes are also good to find content, way better than algos and ads.

  • My advice is segregatting work and personal environment, your company's computer isn't safe for general usage.

    About stuff you use for yourself, don't focus on which program you want to use, but on the task you must accomplish, most software that is made to mimic a Windows workflow are not great, sometimes you think you need a msword alternative, but you just need to create a document, there's many ways to manipulate documents on linux that are so much better than text processors like word or libre/wps/only, and you will miss it by straight up looking for alternatives.

    On Window's software are usually bound by a lot a comercial bullshit, they have to bloat to be able to be forever at development and pushing new versions, Linux usually follows into Unix philosophy, aiming for small high quality software that are easy to compose into a bigger workflow, even when not using cli tools that operate on text streams, a gui linux application usually work with standard formats, don't try to overlap features and are easy to replace if needed.

    And about transition, i like the dual boot approach, have a linux partition, and use it for what you can do better on linux when you want to, as you get better with linux, you will be wanting to use window's less and less.

  • This, i loved the original Alan Wake for it's story, i wouldn't care at all if the second game had the exact same graphics. The industry wants to push for graphics because it is very simple for them to improve that, just put more time/money on the assets, hire actors to do mocap and not think about anything else, that's as souless as the movie industry.

  • That one talks so much around the compatibility of gaming and regular parts, how laptops and smartphones are so much more popular now for non gamers, and fetishism about how expensive everything is.

    Gaming on PC used to be just buying a graphics card and putting on your regular computer, maybe upgrading the PSU, now although a low end graphics card on a regular desktop can give you pretty good results, most people don't have desktops, and notebooks are getting less and less modular.

    I also blame how the community seems proud of spending a lot and getting diminishing results. The market sees how people are spending irresponsibily and know they can raise the price as much as they want.

    At the end of the day, gaming on a PC ends up cheaper because you own everything, and a good computer makes your life so much easier outside of ganing. When on console, you are kind of forced to play by the company's rule, at least if you don't buy everything on the diminishing returns region instead of the cxb region.

  • As a single person, most of it comes down to what you support, avoid consuming things that rely on cruelty and slavery to be produced, study to be more aware of what is actually happening, and don't panic, there's very little a person alone can do.

    Joining groups with similar minds can help you make more, but groups can be very hard, people have different views on things, and radicalism can make some good willed people do pretty terrible things.

  • That's why you don't make your systems dependent on any of those tools. If Mongo goes crazy, you add an implementation to another document database, test to see if performance is good enough, and start to migrate to another database.

    There's no problem in using proprietary shit. The problem is marrying stuff you can't rely on, building your house on land you don't own.

    That's also one of the reasons why it isn't good to use very unique features from any service, because once you start relying on it, you get locked, AWS may have a billion services, i would normally only use those that other providers also have.

  • I almost got it, but gave up because of the CEO being the way he is. It's very likely that they will raise prices or add a lot of bullshit restrictions after initial adoption, and the dish is kind of expensive to buy and cancel once the bullshit starts.

  • It's easier for the non tech savy person to keep in a working state, Android depending on the OEM and Windows come with a lot of bullshit that the average person don't know how to uninstall and avoiding accumulation of bloatware, even simple things like unchecking a checkbox on an instalation wizard are a mystery for most people.

    Apple restrictive environment ends up removing a lot of footguns.
