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.

Sadly, it seems to be misinformation.

If our models of social aid aren’t meeting the needs of the people who need help, maybe we should reevaluate our models instead of making life more miserable for the homeless?

I imagine they’d he 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.

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.

I used to do social media for a small theatre company. I would have adored this rather than constantly fighting with the atrocity that is Meta Business Suite.

Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular “they” is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!

Singular “they” actually predates singular “you”.

0, badass is not something I’ve ever felt, nor particularly strived for.

I’m more of a goodie-two-shoes people pleaser type.

Que de courage et de résilience de la part de cette personne!

Je souhaite que ses agresseurs souffrent.

Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.

I am i mean 😅 which is simultaneously hilarious take my shift on August after bullshit about it with and you want to be nice to you comes across as an avid beer drinker I’d be down to hang out with me you’re automatically turn on von when not on home network remotely through it with and you want to be nice to you know you can be a fan of this is the tipping culture I want to be nice to you know.

Stephan Merchant didn’t voice Cave Johnston but he did voice Wheatley, another character from Portal 2.
