I mean they were always packed when I went. But one (Sage Bistro in Pasadena, CA) was hard to get into without a reservation. The owner just decided she suddenly believed in “regenerative farming” for whatever fucking reason.

How would animal products be more profitable if they cost more? Veggies are cheap so the potential profit margin is much higher no?

Why don’t they just stop these people from entering in the first place? I keep seeing Greenland cry about the horrible Americans (as they should) but then they just let them in for some reason?

I’ve been vegan since 2019 and it’s hitting me lately that in those days things were looking bright for veganism. Now a lot of vegan restaurants are turning their backs on animals by serving meat then closing up shop a few months later after alienating their customers. It’s getting more difficult to find vegan options and it just breaks my heart.

(There’s also like 10,000 other problems I’m going through too.)

Every website should’ve done this like ~7 years ago. It’s taking far too long for web developers to adopt this. We still got websites adding fucking SMS in 2026.

I generally wear one of many identical black tees during the workweek, I don’t have any cartoon shirts though.

Okay.

Oh yeah exactly what we need in this world, more meat products. Boooooooo

That’s not how I thought that was going to end

When I first got into VR I was staying with some friends in a spare room pretty much just like this. Just a mattress and the floor; I’d just push the mattress against the wall for VR.

I probably should be using ISO too but I typically just have the BDMV and friends there. It defaults to ISO for (some?) DVDs though which I find interesting; I can’t remember the logic there.

I like renting physical Blu-rays then dumping them to my NAS. I’m a stickler for quality so I don’t re-encode or compress anything.

It still gets me that they were just using fucking Gmail.

Honestly I prefer them to non-removable ones because I use rechargeable batteries. Just bought a bunch like 10 years ago and cycle them out: they’re still going strong between a bunch of different devices.

Do you have a source? I want to believe you but I’m genuinely curious. There are a few nearby that I could reasonably request information for (I think).

I know the tech crowd is firmly against smart homes but I solved this years ago with good automations. It’s also really energy efficient (though you can do that with a simple schedule on a traditional thermostat too).

The real mistake was not having Google blocked in the first place.

I’ve been using Kolab Now for about a year and while it’s not sexy I love that their servers are 100% in Switzerland. Some others (like Proton) might be based in great jurisdictions but still have servers outside them which makes no sense to me.

Lol I have the 8 GB 2020 MacBook Air M1 and the thing still screams. What is it with Lemmy and the 8 GB debate? What are y’all doing??

I’m a huge fan of both Apple and Linux but what finally helped me to understand the difference was using something closer to UNIX, in my case FreeBSD.

Why? Because I’d always heard that modern macOS is based on UNIX (even partially on old FreeBSD) but the difference between UNIX and Linux never “clicked” until I explored UNIX on its own.

Modern macOS sets its default shell these days to zsh but I believe still ships an old bash. Actually, a lot of the userland utilities are going to be old and out of date. You’ll notice quirks with them (compared to Linux) that often comes from its background in UNIX.

Personally I use a TON of packages from Linux that have been ported to macOS via Homebrew as do many developers (like me) and users.

All this is to say that under the shiny proprietary Apple GUI there is some familiarity with Linux but at the cost of more UNIX-like behavior (albeit unique even among UNIXes).
