  • Why is it not religious and only cultural? It is more commonly worn by conservative muslims who adhere to strict interpretations of the sacred texts they follow. Based on that it is infact religious. Although I doubt it is a religious symbol like the article mentions.

    The wearer of it exists across the globe and not limited to any distinct culture or even region. Further prohibiting a cultural dress is even more weird than the case for religious wears.

  • Agree with the chromium dominance but ats up with crypto?

    Its bloat in the browser but I spend maybe 5 mins turning those off and they never bother me again. Haven't seen one of their features magically turned on like what MS does.

    Have they done anuthing sketchy to question their privacy commitments? Most I've seen was their Tor implementation was improper.

  • It does in recent times. My laptop came pre installed with win 11 and office home 2021(i think).

    All i had to do was click activate to link the key to my email account. It showed up as a notification on first login.

    Even if not activated it still would open files with that warning.

  • While i agree to the points it still stands that the majority of CO2 and methane(a more potent greenhouse gas) are part of the carbon cycle that has been relatively stable.

    It is not comparable to the dumping of carbon from fossil fuels. This is something many collate together and make disingenuous arguments. Correct me where I am wrong in understanding this.

    One additional point(though i have no exact statistics) per kg isnt comparable between plants and meat. Large portions of plant are not edible and used as fertilizers or cattle feed at best. Meat is also energy dense and hence required in far less quantities than carbohydrates.

    Not to mention water isnt equally distributed. Doing intensive agriculture in drought prone areas are far worse than cattle raised in water rich regions.

    I would be interestsed in finding a study that takes a wide array of factors and calculates the effects.

  • I don't recall if there was any limit per person but it made clear it still cost them to manufacture and ship so asked not to abuse them.

    I only ordered once and got the disks for ubuntu, kubuntu and server edition of 10.04.

    Took me a few years to realise what the server edition even was. Sadly I lost all disks but pretty much used the ubunutu gnome disks quite well.

  • I too had same reaction when i received three disks. Till then i hadnt held a professional CD of anything and here i had for free. Subsequently got fedora and got turned off by how laggy it was for me.

    At that time my access to internet was through a relative and it took ~9 hours to download 1GB. Net plan was 5GB free per month except 11pm to 3 am something wouldnt count against the free limit.

  • Signed up for Ubuntu free CD. Got 10.04 LTS. Was such an improvement from vista on a core 2 duo and 3gb ddr2. Only moved complete to linux in 2019 after years of tinkering with couple RPis and getting the hang of using linux.

  • Your comment consisted of 2 points:

    1. Calling me lazy an dishonest for asking a clarification on an ambiguous term 'sustainable'. I hadn't made any claims to be called at.
    2. You again used sustainable to which i defined and responded how animal husbandry is infact sustainable.

    So how have I not responded to your comment?

    Its you pulling out accusations and imagining up arguments that was never made and making personal attacks rather than stick to making valid arguments and address the actual points being made.

    Your argument about energy fails to distinguish between the typical carbon cycle of moving through plants animals and decomposition incontrast with the cabon introduced through fossil fuels. This was what I pointed out previously too.

    And we cant just plop down plants that are human digestable in many places where we grow the feed for cattles. Correct me on that.

    1. I didn't disagree with plants generally being less env friendly.
    2. Most CO2 emmision wrt to meat is misleading because they are part of the carbon cycle. Pumping out oil is not comparable here.
    3. A lot of fossil fuel is utilised in the cultivation, storage, transportation of various seasonal crops, often across the world. Same as for meat. Generalizing plant vs meat often hides those behind moral arguments.
    4. What false equivalency? Polluting is not the same as sustainable? Sustainable how? Animal husbandry has been practiced for millennias and in many places is the main food source where agriculture isn't feasible.

    Making a wide general statement and nitpicking in the arument is lazy and dishonest. Atleast read what I was responding to.

  • Plants are part of that environment and you have to kill them to eat? *unless you are picking off fallen ripe fruits like roadkill eaters.

    Also cultivation of those plants you eat are done in large cleared areas and are destructive to the environment.

  • While I agree with your general point, how is it illegal? If I download the ISO from windows, install and keep using it without activation? They aren't blocking me from using it and I haven't circumvented any prevention they have in place. What's illegal here?
