This is a sweet travel setup!
I hadn't heard of the Pipamoka before and I honestly thought for a second that it was going to be a Bripe-like device, due to 'pipa' sounding like 'pipe'.
There are a dozen Firefox forks though. Mulch, DDG, TOR, Fennic, Bromite, etc.
Mulch is also Chromium-based (not to mention also developped by the DivestOS team so as of now unmaintained) and DDG's browser is based on WebKit.
Only 2/5 of the browsers they mention are Gecko-based.
Poor Sharon Needles, she'll be homeless now.
I've had some very nice decafs but they're definitely trickier to nail down.
I've found that the best decafs were decaffeinated using the Swiss water process, so I'd look out for that. I'd also keep in mind that decaf beans are more brittle, so dialing in the grind size can be a tad more fickle.
There is an airport that still uses Win 3.1 on some computers, don't recall the name though.
You're probably remembering articles stating that Southwest Airlines still uses Windows 3.1, they were floating around the tech news sites during the CrowdStrike fiasco a few months back.
I imagine they'd be in favour, seeing as animal consumption necessitates more plant foods than a vegan diet. Feeding calories to livestock and eating them is much less efficient than directly eating plants.
artificial insemination isn’t torture.
Doing so to a creature who can't consent is pretty wack though.
cows aren't kept constantly pregnant
Female mammals, including cows, produce milk as a result of pregnancy in order to feed their young. The dairy industry is for-profit, they're not going to let their dairy cows have downtime from producing milk if there's money to be made.
kicking and beating cows isn’t part of husbandry.
The meat and dairy industries have lobbied hard for ag-gag laws criminalizing photography on their farms after abuses have been discovered by undercover investigators and activists. It is undoubtedly a part of animal agriculture. Here's a whole paper about it, if it interests you.
killing cows at the end of their useful life is fine.
It definitely isn't the worse part of the miserable lives we make them live after breeding them in massive numbers. It's probably a relief at that point.
Also, just a sidenote here, I scrolled a bit through your history and you seem to go on the defensive for meat and dairy whenever you come across anything relating to veganism or the negative impacts of those industries. You engage with vegan content much more than I do and I'm vegan! I don't think I can change your mind about veganism, nor do I really feel the desire to write any more than I already have. But, I don't know, maybe go comment on stuff you enjoy rather than getting riled up about this stuff? It might make for a more enjoyable experience on lemmy.
Yeah they host their own repo, here's the link:
Eh, I won't die over 20$, it's due to something out of their control that anyone could have seen coming, and I've been quite the satisfied customer since I've been using Real-Debrid. I wouldn't judge anyone for doing a chargeback, but I personally don't really feel the urge to do so.
Bummer, I renewed my subscription for 6 months just two days ago.
I guess this'll finally be an excuse for me to setup Jellyfin and the arr-stack. I really don't mind too much (honestly I'd be fine just downloading torrents manually for whatever I want to watch) but my roommates really appreciated how easy to use Stremio is.
No one wants to eliminate fire trucks and ambulances in favour of bikes.
When people talk about "ending cars" they're talking about private ownership of personal vehicles. It's not necessary to address first responders because that's not what anti-car people are talking about.
I'd say French press ≈ Linux Mint.
Intuitive, easy to use and maintain, but despite the lack of fuss still delivers great results.
I live in Canada, so I'm obviously biased in the sense that we're one of the countries most affected by US politics, what with them being our largest trade partner and having a massive land border with them.
That being said, are you unaware of the global rise in right-wing extremism and fascism following the 2016 election? The US is the richest country in the world, with the largest military, and they also have a tremendous amount of soft power (at least in English-speaking countries) through their cultural influence in media exports.
I don't understand what you gain by pretending the US isn't a massive global power with huge influence over international relations.

Yup, xkcd #198 to be exact. "Perspective" is the name of the comic, and the text underneath is the title text.
Care to share sources for any of these claims?
I assume by "the trans athlete in swimming" you're referring to Lia Thomas. Here's an excerpt from her Wikipedia page:
In March 2022, Thomas became the first openly transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I national championship in any sport after winning the women's 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:33.24; Olympic silver medalist Emma Weyant was second with a time 1.75 seconds behind Thomas.
1.75 seconds is hardly "30 seconds" as you claim. Note that this is the only event she won, no one seems to care that she also placed last in the 100 freestyle event, or that even in the event that she won she was over 9 seconds slower than the women's record for 500 yard-freestyle.
As for the MMA fighter, after a quick search I'll assume you're talking about Fallon Fox? It's true she did injure one of her opponents, Tamikka Brents. I don't know much about MMA, but seeing as it's a sport where people punch and kick each other violently, I'd assume injuries happen.
Let's assume she did have an advantage as a result of going through male puberty as a teen. Where do we draw the line in regulating biological advantage in sports?
Caster Semenya, a runner who was assigned female at birth and has lived her entire life as a woman, has higher levels of testosterone than the average cis woman. Should she be banned from competing?
Michael Phelps, a cis man with many Olympic medals in swimming, has an unusually large wingspan, double-jointed ankles, and produces around half the lactic acid of an average person, all of which gives him a biological advantage. Should we rescind his medals?
Why is "unfair biological advantage" in sports only brought up in the case of trans women (or in the case of Caster Selenga, gender non-conforming women who are mistakenly assumed to be trans?)
All
companies using this shit softwareshould be barred from being landlord and the province should take over
Everything that is necessary for survival (food, water, and shelter at a minimum) should be a public good and not managed by profit-seeking individuals or corporations.
It's worked fine for me across three different addresses. The link I shared in my previous comment also has info on how to report if it doesn't get respected, as the other commenter suggested.
FYI, you can just slap a note on your mailbox saying "No unaddressed mail" and you'll stop receiving the vast majority of junkmail.
I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a "regular coffee".
Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn't parse "regular coffee" as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply "coffee"!
I honestly don't even know why it annoys me this much.
It is ridiculous, which is why I really want one.
I haven't tried it, but James Hoffman reviewed it in what is probably my favourite video on coffee YouTube. It's definitely not as utilitarian a solution as yours for a travel coffee setup!
