Inhoudelijk: weg met die gast/partij/gedrag

Interesting read.

I think parts of Indo-European languages (nouns, verbs) can be represented by icons the same way a logographic language can be spelled out phonetically. The questions are: (1) how do you represent other kins of words, and (2) what icons to use 😵‍💫🤷🏾‍♂

If ethical = animal welfare, perhaps.

But when factoring in e.g. water consumption and CO2e per unit of food consumed, I would argue the average vegetarian diet to be significantly more ethical compared with the average omnivorous diet.

Obviously the type of animals involved, the way they are treated and killed, and religious views add more complexity to this case.

edit: the essence of my point is that this isn't a black and white matter.

Are you hot and near me?

Yup. And if you want to take a small step without major hardware requirements: connect your setup to a paid subscription Mistral or Anthropic API. They allow you to switch off training on your data.

On top of that, the costs are way lower than the normal consumer grade chat subscriptions, and your searches + memory are kept locally (e.g., managed through open webui).

My point is: ethics should not be confused with a single dimension of ethics. Whether something I'd ethical, depends on your beliefs.

Simultaneously, if animal welfare is all we optimize for, vegetarianism is a step forward. And indeed, so is pollotarianism when optimizing for just environmental impact. Perfect is the enemy of good.

Als het in plaats van inkomstenbelasting is, en nog een vast percentage ook, dan gaat een beetje sparen zonder belastingvrije voet natuurlijk prima. Maar als je sparen wilt stimuleren kun je een vrije voet overwegen ja.

Voor wie Reinier Kooiman's idee niet kent, dit stuk van Tegenlicht vond ik erg interessant. Al is uitgeven van geld aan niet-bezittingen niet perse positief. Het zou bijv zomaar tot meer vakantievluchten kunnen leiden.

The bottom line is: 1 cow birth per year (or let's call it cow deaths, because that's what is most relevant here) yields around 10.000L of milk. Out of which around 1000kg of cheese can be produced, plus of course the meat of that calf.

Does that make it ethical? I don't think so. But I would say around 1.5-2x less unethical compared to eating meat, which is significant.

It is probably hard to filter false facts. It is also hard to generate truths. There's not really a good excuse to do the profitable thing but not the right thing.

Solution: Internalize externalities

Why is the screenshot cut off mid-table?

Don't worry if you're confused. You also view your calendar from Teams. Or from Classic Teams.

Perfect countertrend to the artists who visit a single location and make 10+ soccer venues of fans fly to them from all over the continent.

Kagi Translate to Deepl.

But the first thing I recommend, is to replace TikTok with no TikTok.

Literally the year of Linux for desktop.

Good wars to acquire crypto

Welcome to Lemmy, Donald

What are you talking about?

Use FOSS software, and run games using Proton. Doesn't really matter whether they're pirated or bought.

Wow I did not expect to see actual ads. The answers could just be commercially manipulative instead.

TIL not every country uses NFC for contactless payments.

FYI, metadata of any of those payments are routed through Apple or Google systems. Use a physical card (with or without NFC) instead if you don't want this.
