That's kinda obvious though, isn't it? I don't think many people are choosing to move to the USA nowadays. And the ones that already live there can't really just move out - either due to family ties, bureaucracy or lack of resources to do so. I'm guessing that the last one is the biggest factor.
America seems pretty big on making their citizens under-educated and deeply indebted. Most other countries don't let you migrate into them unless you can prove that you're financially stable and can hold down employment. My parents moved from Russia to Germany about 20 years ago, and that was only possible because they were highly educated and the company that my father was brought in to work for could prove that literally no other candidate in Europe could do the job.
Now imagine you're an american kid, either fresh out of college with a ton of debt or never having done college with no proof of education. Either way, there's a good chance your only previous employment was in the gig economy. The chance that any other country would happily let you move in is pretty slim..
Kinda! The Yellow V-Label actually does have more components to it than just what the food is made of. For example, coconut milk that is made from coconuts that were harvested by trained monkeys would not receive that label. Neither would products that use animal products in their packaging (like Casein-based glue).The term a lot of labelling actually prefers nowadays is "Plant-based". That term only refers to whether the product itself contains animal derivatives and nothing more and has much less legal protection.
There's also a weird bonus safeguard in place - Donald Watson, the guy who coined the term "vegan" did so specifically because he was pissed about Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarians changing the meaning of the word. Most vegans are aware of that, and do take care to not change the meaning any further
I've been liking it! So far, I've tried Mint, Zorin, Bazzite, Endeavour and Cachy. All were pretty nice, but I think Cachy is my favorite so far, even if my main machine is running Bazzite atm (I just didn't have the time to swap the distro yet).
There's actually a lot of features that are much cooler than anything I ever did on Win10 (I probably could have used them there too, but I didn't). Like KDEConnect! It's super convenient! And doing stuff like running Android Apps via Waydroid (I ran Revanced that way for a while because I'm just not used to watching Youtube in a browser).I'm also starting to get used to installing things via the software center instead of just googling "Software X download" and clicking on the first .exe file I find (yup, I'm aware of the security implications of that, I just uninstalled the Microsoft store from my Win10 very early on so I never really had a dedicated software store... and was too dumb for things like UnigetUI)
The performance for games has also been crazy good. My laptop couldn't run Sekiro on Win10, now it runs completely fine on high graphical settings. Even Cyberpunk works somehow! I didn't think that my 2018 Laptop had this much life left :0
Vegetarian is the dietary restriction, Vegan is more of a moral stance. As is, the definition of Vegan that most go by isn't about not eating any animal products, but about reducing animal exploitation and harm as far as possible and practicable. I don't think Hippos have any issue with harming anyone haha
Also, fun fact: The original definition of Vegetarian actually did exclude eating dairy or eggs. The Vegetarians that did eat those were called Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarian, but there were so many of them that the term got abbreviated to just Vegetarian, which basically made Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarians the default definition. Language is fun like that
I'm confused about Flatpaks :c The flatpak version of PhpStorm was the easiest way to install it, but because it's isolated from the rest of my system it couldn't really talk to the php version that's globally installed on my machine. I couldn't really figure out how to get the php version into the flatpak, so I installed it in some different way. Not a huge hassle, and I bet I'll understand it some day, but I did feel pretty dumb haha
Just get a lab job at like 23andMe or one of the countless other genome sequencing services. You only need a part of the spit people send in to run all the required tests - the rest can be used however you want to 🤷
Baggy pants would be one thing, but the kids around here are wearing these gigantic jeans that are somehow the perfect length to not crinkle up anywhere, making them look like they just have super thick cylindrical legs. Honestly, it's pretty unique and I kinda like the look.
(I couldn't even find a good image online of what I mean because I don't know the word for it, but this is the closest approximation. Imagine the jeans were stiffer and straighter though, absolutely zero wrinkles)
I've been daily driving Bazzite with Gnome too for the last few weeks! It works perfectly fine, but I was weirdly unhappy with the aesthetic of it, despite knowing for a fact that I love Gnome, especially the bare-bones Gnome that CachyOS has.I only found out about Gnome extensions a few days ago while trying to get rid of the ugly Bazzite Logo in my top bar. It's probably super obvious to anyone else, but those extensions make such a huge difference and playing around with different ones is absolutely worth it!OP, if you do end up going with Bazzite, go to the "Extension Manager" and toggle a few of those on or off to see the difference! Getting new ones is super easy too!
Oh, good to know! I went from Win10 straight to Linux on my PC, and never needed it on my Win11 Work Computer, so I didn't know about that.
Random sidenote, programming Paint yourself is an amazing beginner project! It's easy to explain, gives quick visual feedback when you change parameters and is very open-ended so that you can be very creative in expanding on it. I've let like half a dozen interns do that and they were very excited about it every time haha
It's also not helped by the fact that Windows no longer comes with a decent Paint program. Paint3D is weird af, takes forever to open and I don't know a single person who actually uses it.
Yeah, if everyone stopped eating at McDonald's, supermarket beef wouldn't actually get cheaper, but dog food would. There are a thousand more tricks and shortcuts like that in the animal industry - I'd really recommend watching Dominion, as it shows quite a few more of those
I recently switched my parents old Macbook with a random Dell Notebook running ZorinOS and they're pretty happy with it so far! So maybe that could be an option for you? Their guides are very easy to follow as well - https://help.zorin.com/
