My tip would be, give one of them a go for a set time period, like a month!
It’s so interesting how the brain gets used to stuff, I did have the same thing when I swapped, but now cow milk tastes kind of funky when I do have it. You might find that after a week or so, you end up preferring it (you might also find you hate it, but at least you can say you gave it a go when you swap back, haha!)
I’ve had pea milk, doesn’t seem too rare in the UK. It was nice enough, maybe slightly watery compared to oat (my go to) but that could just have been the brand.
The comparisions are interesting, but also kind of demonstrate the futility of debating between plant based milks. There’s a clear worst candidate here, and it isn’t plant based. If your thinking of switching, choose your favourite, soy might be the second worst but it’s significantly less than half the emmisions of cow milk.
Yup! Completely butchered that spelling, sorry for anyone who tried to google them.
Ah that sucks! What kind of issues did she have?
I’m obviously one person, so not a good sample, but I’ve had F4 with stock android for about 3 uears and haven’t seen any bugs yet, even with android auto.
As to the camera, I’d agree it’s “fine” but if you ignore the repairability and ethical supply chain angle, you can definitely get a much better camera for the same price range.
To be fair, it does have a big security emphasis. I don’t know enough about either /E/OS or GOS to know how they compard but /E/OS does some cool things like sandboxing apps etc for security.
I’m writing from F4 as well. The longer I own it, the more I’m impressed. Fixability has saved me replacing the phone twice now (I dropped it on the screen, and got cement in the usb charger).
If you’re just considering spec, its fairly pricey, but the repairability easily makes up for it. Have a pair of their bluetooth headphones too which I love.
Question for OP: how did you find installing /e/OS? I have android still but am thinking about trying to install.
Might not be the same, but they do partner with Murino to offer an /e/os degoogled alternative.
I’m not gonna try to convince you otherwise because I think our world views are too different for that to be worthwhile l, but I do want to understand, when you say “are the problem”, what in your mind is the problem?
Is it that you think they’re taking up state resources, what resources do you think they’re using vs work that they do?
Is it because you have an idea if what the make up in America should be in terms of languages, birthplace or race?
Not trying to debate you, genuinely interested to understand why you feel like that.
Tbf, all these headlines miss that indexes like the S&P 500 are still far down from pre-tariff-mania. Investors are more or less updating their views for how screwed the markets are, rather than betting that everything is fine.
Joke aside, giving homeless people isn’t actually illegal right? That’d be almost as insane as half the stuff the US has inacted lately.
Edit: oh wow, that is disgunstingly inhumane and I have no idea how someone can support policy that bans charity and still sleep at night.
This is a genuinely interesting article about global politics, but I sorta get the impression there’s this underlying “Does Europe pick US or China as a trade partner?” question at the heart of it.
Seems like this pulls into very 1 dimensional view, and surely the answer is just, Europe should be sceptical of China and USA’s motives, trade wherever it’s beneficial, and push for the things it values (positive take would be workers rights, renewable energy etc).
Trump is trying push a whole pick sides narative on the world, that seems pretty ignorant to actual reality, and just ends up with everyone more fractured and weak.
Yeah I can’t help but think this. I’m in the UK and 5 years-ish ago I bought an ICE, I couldn’t really afford an EV at the rime, but a big part of my thinking was that I didn’t expect the conservative government to do much to support the transition.
EVs require new infrastructure, and people need to trust that’s gonna be built.
Based on me reading wikipedia, in Hoover’s fairness, Smoot-Hawley was mainly a congress led thing and he mainly rubber stamped it. He also introduced stimulus to help industries that he wanted to up their output.
Trump isn’t doing anything stimulus-wise (if anything the opposite by introducing huge government cuts) to aid the new manufacturing processes he’s assuming will spring up overnight, and he also seems to be the mastermind behind rebranding the US as tariff-land.
I don’t know what my point is, that Trump’s policies are a lot worse than Hoover’s? I doubt anyone needed me to reach that conclusion to be fair.
Trump crashes the US economy and deters consimer goods, especially oil. Alternative conspiracy that he’s really an environmentalist? /s
They have pretty high tariff rates in the EU tbf[0], obviously not anything like 104%, but still very high compared to normal rates.
Many observers see the law as the last hope for preventing climate change
I get what this is saying, but I really dislike so much about this kind of framing, which makes up the whole article.
There is no “preventing climate change” - the climate has already changed. Whenever we talk of it in win/lose terms it quickly becomes a “we’re fucked, give up” narrative that only benefits polluters. Like almost everyone, I value human life, and the life of and in the ecosytem we inhabit. Anything that progresses that is a win for me, even if it’s the small win of “thanks to x, less deforestation happened that would have otherwise happened”.
Which is a long way of saying, climate change is a scale, and we should be trying to minimise it as much as possible.
I also really don’t like the idea of thinking of law as “the last hope” because other options haven’t been a silver bullet. No one thing achieved abolition, or civil right, or the woman’s lib movement, just a whole bunch of motivated people doing what they could, when they saw opportunity too.
If there is a silver bullet, it’s just this: value the climate. Do whatever you can to protect it wheb you get a chance. Maybe that’s law, maybe that’s protest. Every person who does something moves the needle further towards what they value.
As a rule of thumb, I feel like replacing things as I normally would, but making sure I replace them with the most environmentally friendly option is the only thing that’s financially sustainable.
Change needs to happen at scale, not from one person suddenly buying a new car, cooker, heater, fireplace all in one go. That said, if your replacing a cooker, choosing an induction hob is an absolute no brainer.
As an aside:
If your dryer runs on gas, consider air-drying your clothes.
What? I’m in the UK and a gas fuel clothes dryer sounds absolutely mental. Have I missed something?
Yes!
You can obviously get rid of it and board it up, but even with no fire, you can make a feature of it if you tile it nicely.
Other fireplaces exist such as artificial electric ones, log fires and biofuel ones. Those all have their own emissions and benefits.
I live in the UK and did 1 a while back, we have candles in the space and a nice wooden mantelpiece. One thing I didn’t expect is how much warmer the house now is. We obviously can’t turn a fire on for heat, but when it’s not on, not having heat pouring out the chimney makes a big difference.
I not sure what personal is, but I’m curious, are there stats on job losses for artists, translators or journalist since AI?
I would use AI for some tangential stuff, like translating a menu, but not sure how many would use AI in a place where they’d previously hired a translator.
Yeah, I don’t understand (amongst many other things) why distinguish between 3,500% and 3,521%? What insane sum was used it generate that figure?
Also, at this point a part that costs $10 is now $362.10. Is there any point using tariffs here rather than just making them illegal?
