Oh, I totally agree with that. I like Linux/FOSS.
It’s the people that post about it online that are insufferable.

Yeah, but I blocked all 372 linux communities.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 days ago:
I tested a dozen different VPN endpoints and none of them are blocked.

But veganism isn’t widely accepted as a virtue
But is it?
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 2 days ago:
Mostly self-righteous virtue-signal.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 2 days ago:
There is definitely an overlap but I think Linux users are more like vegetarians, they cut out the commercial OS from their diet and are content with that. FOSS people are more like militant vegans … they won’t be happy unless everyone else has to use the shitty software they do.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 2 days ago:
I really learned to appreciate the Linux people after meeting the FOSS crowd. These people literally make me want to pay for software.
- Comment on why do they force you to take the 3 national subjects in egypt? 2 days ago:
It’s usually where you learn how your government and institutions work, how to vote in elections, how to pay taxes, etc.
While these things seem very boring when you’re young some of them are quite important later on.
- Comment on why do they force you to take the 3 national subjects in egypt? 2 days ago:
I would assume that the primary language and civics are required in almost any country. They are essentially to being part of society.
Also not surprised that Religion is mandatory in a ME country. It’s often still mandatory in very secular countries (It was for me, even though we just fooled around).
I don’t think there is anything unusual about Egypt here.

Yes, that’s the joke.

I just don’t see why we should boycott imgur because of something the UK government did.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 3 days ago:
Not really a shit post.
Sucks for the UK.
Works fine with a VPN for me.

Of course. At the very least. Actually I have some other words for them.

It’s not literally half, but it’s quite common. Frieren is an extreme example :)

Half of them a German names …
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 6 days ago:
It actually copies the music to the phone, but it’s an automatic caching. As far as I’m aware you can’t access the files directly and the app will handle refreshing/replacing the cache when it gets full. You absolutely shouldn’t use it as a backup of any kind.

Nah, we killed him. Got the purple loot and everything.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 week ago:
So don’t just download music you like, indiscriminately download as much as you can, then you can get suggestions from your self hosted software.
- Comment on WoW dies with the Lich King 1 week ago:
But he died like 15 years ago.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 week ago:
Oh, I didn’t even realise music was exempt from those changes. I’m sure glad I got the lifetime pass when it was cheap.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 week ago:
Yup. I’ve given my plexamp app 60GB of cache space, so hundreds of recently listen songs (which is enough for my common playlists) will be on local storage.
It’s really the best of both worlds.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 week ago:
I listen to music on multiple devices and don’t want to deal with syncing files and playlists between them.
Also my library is currently 900GB, which would take up almost all the storage on my laptop and I’d have to buy a 1TB SD card to be able to fit it on my phone.
Much easier to just stream it.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 week ago:
Plexamp. It does everything I want flawlessly, so I really have no desire to switch.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 week ago:
I am streaming my music, but from my own server at home.
- Comment on Could we survive eating only humans? 1 week ago:
Yeah you’d need like … an average laboratory for that. Impossible, no one has those!
- Comment on Could we survive eating only humans? 1 week ago:
It’s actually not that complicated. You just don’t have a clue what you’re taking about.
You check for the disease and if you find it, you don’t eat the meat. Problem solved.
Prion disease is not something special to humans or cannibalism. It is however a disease that needs time to develop, which is why it’s rare is most animals we eat (because they don’t tend to live that long). With ritualistic cannibalism, people often eat old people (and humans tend to get quite old), which have a much higher chance of having developed prion disease. That’s really the only reason why it’s associated with cannibalism.
So no, you can totally live on cannibalism and not get prion disease if you either apply normal food safety standards or focus on eating kids.
- Comment on Could we survive eating only humans? 1 week ago:
Yes, you check the brain tissue of the animal before slaughtering.
