I feel like you're just having imaginary arguments in your head with people who don't exist. This is a net win for everyone because it means less people suffering in extreme conditions and it also puts pressure on companies and people with money to slow climate change.

Maybe there's some weird people out there who want others to suffer but I doubt that's anywhere near representative of climate activists.

I don't understand how they lost against Apple but won against Google - which actually does allow you to download alternative app stores.

I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn't realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.

I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I'd done wrong 😂.

Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.

This is ridiculous, the first anti zionists were all Jewish. Some were even assassinated for their views. Zionism should not be conflated with Jewishness at all.

I rent an apartment in a big subdivided house, I live on the ground floor. An aircon unit just fell out of my upstairs neighbours window and landed just outside my own window. This was a bit alarming because not half an hour earlier I was poking my head out that window to water my plant (the plant is fine thankfully). There's a whole row of aircons sitting outside windows that could all also fall out which is also concerning.

I'm curious if there's anything I can do in the way of complaining to anyone about my landlord not providing a safe living environment?

I'm doubtful, but wanted to ask, just in case.

He bought it so he's the only shareholder. It's not publicly traded anymore.

So many good reasons to eat less meat.

It sounds like the change was motivated more by the instability of those currencies, the price increases may just be a temporary thing until developers update their prices. At least that's what I'm hoping.

I didn't do that, I just communicated why I thought the video misrepresented the issue.

Disclaimer: I'm vegan, btw.

I hate things like this because I feel like they misrepresent the issue. Yes, I'm sure there's some morons out there that think you have to kill the sheep, but that's not what the vast majority of vegans think. Also it's great if this person is treating their animals well but that's absolutely not the case for the vast majority of commercial wool farms where practices like un-anaesthetised tail docking, mulesing and castration are common. And given the sheerers have quotas to make the sheep are often handled roughly and injured and when they get older and the wool quality deteriorates they're still sent off to a slaughter house all the same.

Sure there's some tiny farms out there that take good care of their animals and practice ethically and I'm all for it, but videos like this give a really skewed look at the problem by misrepresenting the complaints vegans have and also the practices on an industry scale.

Peace.
