Cow milk is usually only cheaper because of subsidies, otherwise it would be much more expensive.

For real, this has nothing to do with animal welfare. The cows still get forcefully impregnated every so often and have their calves taken away, just so you can drink their milk. Supermarkets are full of tasty plant milk variants, yet most people still see the need to let cows suffer instead.
It’s Chromium based, so no thanks.
Disagree. Most big companies have tried the way of not releasing on Steam, and almost everyone came back over the years because they realized a lot more people buy your game if it’s on Steam.

The mini 2 is an 11 year old device that received feature updates for 6 years and security updates for 10 years. Seems fair to me and is probably more than most Android tablets would give you.
NoisyFlake@lemm.eeto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Removing Windows. Choosing a new daily driver for a gaming PCEnglish1·10 months agoI tried Bazzite a few months ago and replaced it with a non-immutable distro in the same day because I couldn’t get my password manager (1Password) to work with Firefox.
The installation of 1Password was kind of a hassle as there is no official way to install it systemwide on an immutable distro, so I followed an unofficial tutorial. That worked somehow, but then came the integration into Firefox. For this to work, you have to install firefox as a native package, too, so you have to layer it through ostree.
But here comes the issue: The original Silverblue does already include native Firefox, and Bazzite removed it and replaced it with a flatpak. I have googled a lot and haven’t found an answer yet on how to layer a package that was removed in a previous layer. I’m not sure if it’s even possible, but the complete lack of documentation for such a trivial thing really turned me away from immutable distros. When I had an issue on Arch, I would find the answer in the ArchWiki 95% of the time, but here I couldn’t even find a proper documentation for how the layering works.
This on top of other issues like not being able to get Autocomplete/Intellisense working in VSCode because I can’t properly install the required compilers and libraries made me turn back to Arch in a single day. Maybe it’s just my mindset that’s a bit stuck on how to do things the “old” way, but if I have to spent hours to get even a basic workflow going for me, then I guess I’m not yet ready for immutable distros.

Hi there. For me it’s perfectly fine for non-vegans to post here, as long as they are as respectful as you are. I’m gonna try to answer each of your questions real quick from my own point of view:
Why do you make the conscious decision to not eat meat/animal products?
Because I don’t want animals to suffer just so I can have a specific meal. There’s enough alternatives I can create a delicious meal with that don’t involve exploiting animals.
Do you have negative feelings towards those who raise their own animals for food, such as those who raise chickens for eggs or cattle for milk, and otherwise treat the animals ethically?
That depends, meat is obviously a no-go. Milk is also pretty criticial, since a) you’re taking away the milk the mother produced for it’s child, b) you have to separate mother and child so that the child can’t drink the milk, and c) you have to impregnate the cow against its will continuously to keep up the milk production. Eggs are probably the thing I’d see as most acceptable, as long as the chickens can roam free and are not specifically held for egg production.
Are there other reasons for not eating meat that I’m not considering?
Well, for me it’s mostly ethical. But there’s also a huge environmental aspect, as well as a health aspect.
When did you choose to switch to a vegan lifestyle, what (if any) was the “catalyst”?
About a year ago, I was trying to reduce my meat consumption and somehow found a link to the Dominion documentation. If you haven’t watched it yet, I gotta warn you, it’s absolutely brutal. I couldn’t watch it until the end because I was crying and shaking, and I haven’t touched meat since. I went vegetarian first for about a month, and then switched to a fully vegan lifestyle when I found out that milk and eggs can’t really be produced ethically as well.
What are some challenges that you have dealt with when it comes to this lifestyle?
Acceptance from family, friends and others. Most people are pretty accepting of me being vegan, but there are always people that feel the need to justify their meat consumption without being asked, telling me that my plant-based patty should not be allowed to be called a patty or are simply rude by making jokes about veganism like “if I put tofu around this steak, would you eat it”.
I live in a small town, and ordering food is really annoying. There are basically two places that deliver vegan food, and that’s pizza and Subway. But I guess it’s not all bad, since I cook way more often because of this.
Why do you believe there is a continued stigma around veganism in many physical/internet communities?
The same reason there’s stigma around different religions: people with different beliefs try to convince the other side that they are wrong. Oh, and also because most people only have heard bad things about veganism, like extremists that take the completely wrong approach to convince people to become vegan.
I hope I answered most questions to your satisfaction.

Always has been on iOS, this is not new.
Seriously, how can a huge distro like Fedora still be so horribly user-unfriendly when it comes to basic things like multimedia playback.

it doesn’t even host it’s own repos
Yes, and that’s a good thing, otherwise it would be like Manjaro.
EndeavourOS is perfect if you already know your way around a Linux system but don’t want to spend the time and effort to setup Arch.
Totally depends on the use case. For data hoarding on a NAS, it’s absolutely fine and the sane choice in regards to pricing.
EndeavourOS is the real Arch, with some additional repos and some sensible defaults.
