This app is great. Thanks.

I feel like this is less of a problem with having a dog/cat and more of a problem with having psychos in your life.

Thanks for this. Removing the split screen from the PC version was one of the worst decisions I've seen for a game remake.

Ah the project was just an excuse to familiarise myself with low-level network code. It's basically just a simple TUI app that takes a list from a popular comics podcast website and allows the user to locally track the comics they've read then update the list when the a new podcast comes out adding additional comics to the list.

I could have done the project in a quarter of the time in Python. But I wanted to get a strong foundation in low-level socket programming, network protocols, TLS and HTML parsing. I suppose on some level I'm just interested in those things.

That said, you probably have a point. Maybe I should just look into Rust and Go. I've had some fun with the latter.

So, to be clear, the restaurant was formally vegan. Then, due to financial struggles, added carnist options to the menu and alienated a lot of their regular vegan cuatomers resulting in them shutting down.

This was old news.

Also, I can understand the mods being spiteful about things like this. It sends a message that if you're a vegan restaurant and you add carnist options then you will lose customers, not gain them. Valid point if you're primary concern is animal welfare. I'm vegan and I don't want to give money to any business that profiteers of animal cruelty.

That said, I think the mod should just say that rather than banning you. Though perhaps those communities get brigaded with a lot of anti-vegan bad-faith bullshit arguments and the mods are a bit quick to the ban hammer as a result.

I don't understand how vegan chorizo is not more common. Its such an obvious choice. Its not like actual chorizo tastes like meat.

It's the original Irish spelling for the name.

If you think thats hard to read for an anglophone: Owen = Eóghain

You should tell your best friend about how you have been feeling if you havent. I know it's hard but I'm sure they would want to help and listen.

Completely agree with all your points. On a tangential note, I wish opensecrets had an rss feed...

I wouldn't recommend Signal for privacy. It has quite a few concerning issues. There are some good alternatives however. I think Briar is good if privacy is your chief concern. Sam Bent compared some of the other alternatives in this video.
