Default Fedora workstation and Silverblue do it this way. First boot prompts you to create an account and set it up, then lands you on the desktop and asks if you want a tour of the UI

Since there is apparently a rule against recommending brands here I’m gonna be a little vague with some of this answer, but there are several egg alternatives I like. The easiest are the pre made vegan egg mixes, which are sold in grocery stores and are a yellow liquid sold near the animal eggs. These are made of mung beans and a bunch of seasonings, and they scramble up like chicken eggs. Very tasty and easy but a bit pricey.

An everyday alternative is making a tofu scramble. Tofu on its own has a mild flavor so it’s a canvas to season it how you want. Look up recipes if you want the most authentic eggy flavor, but I make mine with turmeric for color, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, and black salt (kala namak) which gives it the egg-like flavor. Pretty much just tear up the tofu, mix with those spices, then pan fry until it’s hot. Optionally mix in some water or stock if the texture is too dry.

If you want to get really crazy there are plenty of vegan recipes to recreate over easy eggs, shakshuka, all manner of egg dishes. But these are generally quite involved. I like watching Thee Burger Dude on YouTube who makes vegan versions of fast food, but also has good recipes for over easy eggs and similar staples.

I personally track my nutrition with a nutrition logging app that tells me all my micro- and macro-nutrients for the day. Just eating a normal diet with foods I like meets 90% of my dietary requirements, but tracking it like this has shown me when I have deficiencies in certain vitamins or when I get too much salt or fat etc. Recently I noticed I haven’t gotten enough vitamin K or A, so I started putting spinach in more of my meals and now all my vitamins are at least hitting my daily minimums.

One last quick vegan tip: nutritional yeast and plant milk make the world go round. My nutritional yeast brand gives me all my B vitamins, some fiber, and some protein in one serving and tastes delicious. My soy milk gives me calcium, protein, and vitamin D every morning. These are core staples to me nowadays

So does giving blood/plasma help with this or is that just serum levels of microplastic

I’ve spoken to a nvidia engineer before who told me how they have optimized for 8 and even 4 bit fp operations using dedicated hardware and lookup tables for the explicit purpose of ML tasks. So somebody has used this before, just not in this way I suppose

I’ve wanted to get DE style portraits of my cats made for a while and I think this post is the push for me to find somebody to commission them lol

Also use a private DNS server even if not using a privacy VPN. I set Firefox to route through Mullvad always. It’s just another way your browsing activity gets fed back to your ISP or DNS provider company

Edit: Also I think VPNs have a lot more utility than that. E.g. hiding your real IP from websites to prevent geolocation or tying back to your real ID, preventing your ISP (and thus the US govt through PRISM etc) from logging your traffic, etc. Yes the details of what you do are encrypted through HTTPS but the servers you connect to and the times you do it are not. The CIA says they kill people based off metadata so I would at least try to shift the trust away from known collaborators like my ISP and towards groups like Mullvad to protect myself
