Such a good book. The vampires seem out of place in the hard sci-fi setting at first, but I think it’s actually quite well done, and ends up being very thematically relevant in the story.
You can't use mastodon from Lemmy, but you can from some threadiverse software like Kbin.
First of all, it's perfectly viable to just not eat meat. Tons of people don't eat meat and are perfectly healthy.
If you need meat replacements, (which is for taste, let's be clear) there are a TON of good substitutes, for example Beyond.
Also to your previous point, food waste is a big problem, but thermodynamically, meat IS food waste. Only a fraction of the energy of animal feed is present in the meat, which is super resource intensive and environmentally terrible (not to mention all the methane produced)
Realistically, that would mean nationalizing all of SpaceX. (Which I would support, although that's definitely not going to happen)
If the many worlds interpretation is correct, that would mean that there's not really an infinite number of discrete realities, but more of a continuum. So there are infinite other realities in the same way that there are infinite points on a line, but this exact reality is still unique.
I don't think anyone underestimates Linux Mint. It's pretty widely considered one of the best distros out there.
Those of us who choose Arch do so for the software selection, and because we like tweaking the os :)

Then a plug in hybrid or elecric car with range extender motor makes more sense. I think it's pretty dumb to be carrying around expensive, heavy batteries everywhere you go that only get used fully twice a year.
EndeavourOS (which is very close to vanilla Arch, in a good way) comes with yay, which makes installing software super easy. You can search for and install a program by just typing "yay " and selecting what you want to download. Note that this also works for anything in the AUR, which includes lots of stuff that you'd usually have to manually compile.
Ted Chiang is an author I'd recommend
Yes, religion is often simply reinforced by hatred.
Have you tried rolling back the affected packages from the main repo?
