Kind of wild how rambly of a video this is, while also being shorter than your average YouTube video.

Where's the cold open, the intro animation, the needlessly long introduction into the topic, the cliffhanger, the sponsor segment, the second(???) introduction into the topic, the summarizing of a news article without adding even so much as your own opinion, the bland statement with zero nuance and the telling people to like, comment, share, subscribe, ring the bell and blow the foghorn...?

That seems like a better approach than blanket-banning kids from certain platforms.

Going to be interesting, though. TikTok is pretty much built around infinite scrolling, autoplay and an algorithmic timeline. I would absolutely argue that it's closer in its design to a slot machine than to a traditional webpage.
Will they make you tap a button after swiping up thirty times, so that it's not technically infinite? Do they have to display a scrollbar?

I mean, I'd also say that any change is probably healthy and we can worry about the exact details later, but yeah, still curious what exactly will constitute non-infinite scrolling here.

Ah, no worries! Taste is hard to describe. 🫠

The vegan philosophy isn't an all-or-nothing never wanting to cause any pain philosophy. It's a philosophy of reducing suffering as much as reasonably possible while being able to still live your own life.

But any argument about plants feeling pain is completely sideways to that whole issue anyways, because farm animals eat more plants per calorie than when humans eat plants directly. Those farm animals need to use some of the plant calories for sustaining their own life, which will not make it into the meat, egg or milk. Even if you hate animals and love plants, you have to snack on plants to cause as little harm to plants as possible.

I'm not saying, that the taste isn't strong enough for me. I'm saying that it actively adds a taste, which I can best describe as "hollow". Falafel or hummus with cumin tastes worse to me than without...

Yeah, I was thinking that recently when I realized I've known

I've also known

I'm sure they're cool movies, with lots of cultural relevance, but they've been spoiled in every possible way for me, specifically because the older generation loves them so much that they can't shut up about them.

Oh man, what the fuck. What I really don't like about this is that you assume some sort of motivation when someone submits a PR. When they provide a feature implementation, a bug fix or a configuration change, you assume that the way things were before did not work for the contributor. That it was so problematic, that they invested quite a bit of time to scratch their own itch.

You simply can't look at a PR in complete isolation and just evaluate whether its changes are positive or not. On some level, you'll decide that, sure, if this user is better off with this change and it doesn't break anything, then might as well merge it.
But there is no user here. It's going to include pointless changes that just need to look plausible enough, so that this bot can bolster its credibility.

I can't imagine the kids of today finding pogs particularly interesting, when they've got smartphones in their pockets. Maybe if you equip the pogs with an NFC chip that ties into some online game to give you monsters or items or such. But yeah, even that's going to be a hard sell, unless the game happens to be Roblox or Fortnite.

Wow, that is some unexpected news. I guess, they were always quite opinionated and their whole shtick was "GTK bad", so with Noctalia still being Qt-based and them still using KDE applications, they do still stick to that principle.

Well, and I do have to say, when I tried KaOS before, it just felt like a more restricted version of most other KDE distributions. You'd need a very specific brand of masochism to find that preferrable. With that Niri+Noctalia desktop, they have a unique selling point beyond being restrictive, so I guess, godspeed to them.

That's pretty damning evidence that switching to plant-based alternatives for milk products isn't just helpful towards beating climate change, but rather a necessity.

The face being preferrable kind of makes sense to me, since cats will often socialize by rubbing their heads against each other...

I mean, there can be multiple different gene variations. I have the soap thing and I can't remember tasting anything other than soap, although admittedly I haven't tried cilantro in isolation or in enough dishes to be able to tell for sure.
