I think you're grossly underestimating how much land and it takes just to feed an animal until it is ready to slaughter. I'm sorry to say but you'd be indirectly killing an order of magnitude more insects by eating meat, when considering all that feed.

I think a veggie or vegan diet, maybe even organic veg if possible, would help you preserve insect life (which really needs preserving as you rightly point out)

Breaking news: Snake oil salesman claims snake oil is the answer

Mr Urban said younger people were straying from previous generations who would be more inclined to “go out late night and stay out”. “I think social media means that you don’t have to do that to stay in touch with your friends,” he told PA.

Perhaps Phil should ask a younger person? Or fund some research into this? I think he'd quickly realise it has fuck all to do with social media or home delivery. But no, more sports pubs are the answer.

Dabbled with Linux over the years but have finally made the jump to using it as my primary OS. I tried a bunch of distros and settled on the elegant simplicity of Mint. Every game has worked just.. fine.

It feels genuinely refreshing to know nothing will change without my consent, I know I will not login one day to find a surprise cortana/copilot/clippy icon in the taskbar or an ad for Avowed waiting for me. I can't believe that is even considered a 'pro', but here we are.

I strongly recommend symfonium on android. Plexamp is a really polished app but I found the handling of downloaded files quite poor, I don't think you can even search downloads when you're offline? (other bonus to symfonium is it supports jellyfin and sources, in case you were to ever fully move away from plex)

I have definitely seen worries about tailscale in other threads related to a recent VC funding round, I suppose they haven't aggressively started the enshittification journey (yet), and it is also a bonus that most of tailscale is open source, e.g. headscale exists.

If tailscale started reducing the free service # of devices/users to push people towards their paid 'personal plus' plan then maybe we'd see a similar backlash. I say this as a tailscale user myself.

I'd also like to hear more about it. I'm not sure I'll stick with proton after my sub next expires and infomaniak seems a strong competitor

I order mine from https://smol.com/uk. They come in a cardboard packet which fits through the letterbox. I was also fed up with the ridiculous and unnecessary amount of plastic in the supermarket equivalents.

You're right to be wary of unlimited. It's primarily a way for employers to avoid having to pay out accrued vacation time when staff leave. And create the competitive environment you mentioned over taking few days vs a lot. It seems great at first glance but I'd prefer a set number of days, no ambiguity that way.

I like what they were going for but Liberty Line feels like a bit of a cop out, named after "the freedom that is a defining feature of London". Better than just more monarch names though I suppose.

I am definitely not pro-smoking but won't this just create a pretty substantial black market?

I also like what I have seen in this instance and it'd be a shame to be forced to leave it. It also worries me a bit how dependent we are on individuals in some fediverse communities. I actually first migrated to kbin from reddit, but many of the communities/magazines ended up overwhelmed with spam or completely dead due to sole inactive moderators.
