  • What's your opinion on prostitution?

    Jump

  • In my opinion, there are two key could issues with it: societal attitudes and desperation.

    Society clearly discriminates sex workers, especially women, as sex work is associated with promiscuity and little limits. Ex-sexual workers are more likely to be harassed and face unwanted sexualized interactions. They have issues finding a long-term partner and may have to hide their past from everyone.

    Another issue is that many people choose sexual careers not because they want it, but because it's one of the few ways to make money quickly. This experience can be heavily traumatic, not only because of the aforementioned societal attitudes, but because of violation of intimacy and losing agency over own body.

    So, legalization of prostitution is, at best, harm reduction at this stage.

    Important nuance: there absolutely are people who enjoy working in the sex industry. Ideally, healthy incentives and shift in social attitudes would allow them to work in this sphere and others not to. But as things stand, we're very much not there yet.

  • Cows Can Use Tools. Are We Underestimating How Smart They Are?

    Jump

  • I think you should not be allowed to breed someone into existence when you have the date of their murder already in your calendar.

    Well, that's how we differ. All emotionally charged language aside, I'd rather see animals see some life than no life at all.

    Besides, with the way you put it, this looks less and less like a genuine wish to unpack my views and more like an attempt to debate it.

    I believe that we can and should make farming practices better, making a better life for these animals. And I think that, even with the views you have, you will agree it would at least be better than what we currently see.

  • Cows Can Use Tools. Are We Underestimating How Smart They Are?

    Jump

  • Sure!

    First off, it's not that these animals would live otherwise. They can't survive in the wild, the only reason they exist at all at this scale is because there is an economic incentive to keep them - namely, meat, eggs, milk etc. Would you rather have them live a short live or not even be born because their parents died in the wild?

    Second, perfect is the enemy of the good. Most people won't stop eating meat no matter what you tell them, so, regardless of your stance, a push for more ethical farming is beneficial.

  • What we know for certain is that plants don't have centralized decision making place or a nervous system. Their reactions are autonomous on the level of specific tissues.

    They don't feel any pain, either. They can react to damage, but it's just a mechanical automation.

    Plants are not conscious.

  • At the very least, we can start by not putting them into terrible crammed conditions and not using the most brutal slaughter practices.

    Doing all that doesn't actually increase the price more than 30% - but this difference makes farmers go crazy doing all sorts of disgusting things.

    Besides, a price bump could reduce the meat consumption somewhat.

  • yt-dlp is amazing, but not everyone likes to use CLI tools (and, looking down the thread, not everyone prefers native packets as they may cause dependency issues and need extra tools for permissions control).

    Even in a geeky Linux space, many people just want to push a button in a nice interface and get what they want. This app provides just that.

    Abandon elitism, embrace variety. And use the tools you prefer - after all, plenty of Linux video/music downloaders have yt-dlp under the hood, and I use it on a regular.

  • Goodbye to the idea that solar panels “die” after 25 years. A new study says the warranty does not mark the end, and real-world performance can last for decades

    Jump

  • Sure! That's why I talk it might be critical for rooftop, but maybe useful somewhere else.

    I'm pretty certain it may make economic sense to install something like this in a large open area. If the panels were meant to be thrown away, the price must be tiny.

    Anyhow, I expect this to be more common once the mass-produced solar of the last decade gets old. We may just not be there yet to have plenty of used solar to offer.

  • I wish we could still install the old panels somewhere. They might not be good enough to be rooftop solar anymore, but in the field, why not take all they can still give?
