People consider vegans on Lemmy as too preachy. Even in vegan communities here, mods have to remove soooo many inappropriate comments (I read a few of these and they keep getting removed for good reasons). Comments that suggest going vegan on posts about animal abuse are downvoted.

At the same time, whenever there is something about Windows or Chromium based browsers, people here are doing exactly the same. "Just use Linux/Firefox/whatever".

After a few years of philosophy in university, I think it's like software development. You can always go to a lower level but doing so won't bring you forward in most cases. You can ask these meta questions on every single argument but there are no satisfying results. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's fun :D

Thing is, most people WOULD CARE if I treat a dog, cat, or any other cute animal the same way as dairy/meat industry does. Why doesn't the "as long as you keep it to yourself" argument count in this case (might not be for you but for most people)?

It's about philosophy/ethics and not religion.

[–] Salzkrebs@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It's more about ethics than morality. You agree that violence is a bad thing? Good. So there is no reason these rules don't apply to animals, since many of them can feel in a similar way humans do.

I hate searching for sway config stuff using DDG (which returns Bing results).

Chances are never zero that that there is an outdated MS product with the same name of what you're searching.

 
 
 

Scuds are still alive in my seacosphere. They're just waiting for food in their self-made tunnels until some tiggerpods come by. You can just watch them hunting since there are hundreds of tiggerpods in there.

Since I live in the EU, it shouldn't even be legal to force students into Discord. I really hate being that guy but if they do this shit again I will refuse.

My university forces its students to use Discord for computer science. They even forced me to use my real name (otherwise they would've kicked me from the channel). It's a privacy nightmare so I hope they will switch now since they were using it to host weekly exams.

 

I don't know if there is anything alive outside of the water but it looks healthy and smells like forest.

 

Two weeks ago, I put some scuds in my seacosphere. They built tunnels and feed on dead plants/algae.

Full of life. Worms, tiny copepods and a few snails. It's around two months old. I put the snails in there one month ago and they look healthy. Some parts of the algae (Caluerpa) are dead but it's growing fast. I hope so much for the snails to lay eggs.

Edit: it already survived temperatures above 30°C so it seems to be pretty stable so far.

 

These tiny red dots are Tiggerpods. This jar feels more alive than some of my freshwater ecospheres.

CalyxOS doesn't support the FP5 yet but they are working on it. I have been using it for like 2 years and the only thing I miss is a sensor permission like the one from GrapheneOS.

Ohhhh aquariums are nice. There are so many tiny "jarrariums" in my room. They're quite cheap and don't need any effort.

"Oh nice, someone gave me a wardrobe where I can keep all of my clothes assorted!"

It works for like two weeks but always ends in me throwing everything in there. So I just got a box in my room now where I throw everything in. More space for my hobbies.

At least there is a decent chest size in Minecraft. But with some mods installed there are tons of additional items so I always had to install Storage Network.

 

It's always the same pattern: After a few hours I decide to sort everything because it runs out of control but then I never do it again so it's getting worse than before.

When playing RuneScape like 10 years ago I sorted my bank by item color. Once I started pressing the button to deposit everything at once (because it felt soooo easy) it looked like it was sorted by color but it was significantly worse, since the items I used the most were always somewhere I didn't expect them.

Small chest size is literally the only reason why I don't like playing Valheim. Factorio was the worst game so far. My factory worked but it was a diabolic mess that relied on me, sometimes refilling some random chests manually.

 

Not sure if these white balls are eggs.

Idk there are many ecosphere communities now bit maybe mander.xyz is the best since it is related to biology.
