I agree that the pile-on wasn’t necessary, people tend to just give their kneejerk response and then move on. Having said that, you probably could have explained your case a bit better too in the original post.

Food is a non-toxic, organic substance that provides nutrition in the form of carbohydrates, protein, fibre, fats/oils, and/or vitamins and minerals. Sure there are some edge cases which you can argue the point in, such as a lump of rock salt maybe, but for the most part it is something which provides sustenance. Sure you could eat mud or plaster and it won’t kill you, but it won’t help keep you alive either, so its not food.

I’m with you bro, although we don’t need to mine the moon or asteroids, the tunnels can be airtight enough with reinforced concrete. They’ve already made multiple sustainable concrete formulas, and I think 150 years is plenty of time to assume these will be mass adopted. If fusion has becomea thing and we have an abundance of energy then the costs of such an enormous project will also become more feasible.

Join a smaller instance. You can still see posts on lemmy.world, and you might find a niche you’re interested in in the process

Nobody is talking about marxists or leftists here, tankies are a breed of their own

My first impression was that they were Korean

I had a friend like that too, he was Sri Lankan and took offense that he was somehow not included in the blanket term of Asian. I’ve since learnt it’s possible to be more specific and say South Asian for countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc, and south-east Asian for countries like Thailand, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines etc

Maybe you should read the manual on how to reply to a Lemmy comment

Preach!

Yes exactly! Linux has its pitfalls, but the pitfalls of Linux are far more tolerable for me than the shortcomings of windows.

Macs I can’t speak for because I’ve never tried, but they seem overpriced

Ironically I’ve tried installing Ubuntu a couple of times in the past, but for whatever reason it didn’t work. I’m currently using Debian instead just because the install worked. No idea why, maybe my laptop is just weird.

I used Arch for years because I wanted to learn more about how linux works and it was a good way to push myself. I think it worked because I am better at problem solving now - I even read the error messages lol

it must depend on your location cos I can still use it

I’ve been using nothing but Linux for 5 years and I still have problems every now and then.

It’s how people have been talking for, like, 20 years now at least

Yeah I didn’t think disabling features for Firefox users would make sense. The user would have to know you’re punishing them for it to be effective at incentivising them to switch to chrome.

I personally don’t trust Google anyway and mainly just use duckduckgo.

Yeah, that bar isn’t that high really is it. Imagine if they actually kept their word!

If Linux was fine, then I wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of looking for an alternative and taken the time to teach myself Linux. I don’t know anybody else who uses it so it’s not like somebody twisted my arm

I use sync for lemmy, so every time I go on lemmy I see ads. Also when YouTubers have in- video sponsor ads. I skip them but it’s still an inconvenience. Same for podcasts

Seems to me that it took a huge amount of time and resources to reach the new score, and I’m guessing they don’t have the budget to do the same for every model

No it’s “literally” been reduced to $1000.
