In my country (Australia) you're allowed to break the DRM for interoperability purposes. We could legally use deCSS, back when DVDs were state of the art, if we wanted to play them on our Linux computers
I don't think blue ray is nearly as easy to break I just double checked. Not quite "super easy, barely an inconvenience" but quite do-able
Skilled programmers can see that Linus is an expert. It works in tech. It probably works in any professional environment - anywhere where skilled people are picking someone highly skilled.
For the average person, we have clearly seen average people suck at picking expert leaders, though it works fine in small groups
Cows, deer, sheep all make as much methane per unit mass. If they didn't we could simply inoculate whichever is the worst with the gut bacteria of the best, since they are all ungulates, they all rely on bacteria to break down grass to something they can digest directly
Or do you imagine there's is something else we could grow on that land that was judged only good enough for cattle
Cattle where I live aren't on bare fields. Driving across three states over Christmas break out was wonderful moving out of wheat, barley, and hay growing areas to cattle and sheep raising areas.
It went from fields of monoculture, to fields with various grasses, trees, shrubs
It was fun trying to pick whether a distant field was spotted with sheep or shrubs (it was a long drive)
It was usually both. Sheep are remarkably well camouflaged in a fairly natural grasslands
The cows were usually resting in the shade of a tree, though one field the cows were lined up feeding on the grass in the straight shadow of the tower for a wind turbine
No, had I started it, I could have moderated it. I found it already created and tried to bring life, but there are so few zerocarb/carnivore people here and so many religiously vegan
Self reply. I wonder what the climate impact of my compost pile is. Should I add seaweed? I live a long way from the sea, is the pile worse than a 400km round trip (presuming the right weed grows in the nearest bit of sea).
I hope fixing electricity, residential, commercial, transport, and industry is enough. The world could handle the carbon load of the same sort of biomass as we have now before we started burning all the oil
Don't the largest most polluting machines work on the plant farms?
I'm talking grass fed animals. I agree with you that we shouldn't have grain fed cattle
Animals it's light trucks and tractors up feed the animals during winter or drought, then transport to market, eventually to the consumer.
Plants it's fertilising machines, crop dusting planes, massive harvesting machines then usually through factories eventually to the consumer. If you eat while foods only and nothing manufactured then it's massive harvesting machines then to market to the consumer
I tried to get the lemmy.world carnivore subreddit working, but there are five militant vegans for every carnivore on lemmy and in that sub. You could downvote troll here just by playing the meat eater
They're hardly touching your total karma though :)
In favour of hunting: the animals get a life in the wild, making methane and CO2 at the rates of mass they grow
In favour of farming: the animals are in a farmer's control, they grow bigger, give milk, have fewer parasites so you can eat the meat rare, and they can be treated to reduce their methane production
If enough people stop eating meat for a beef farm to collapse and the land to be let go wild that will turn the grass over to wild deer that will have exactly the same emissions as the cows had, but with no chance of treating them to reduce their methane
Australia: If you do that for interoperability (in this case you want it accessible from your library) it's legal.
