Not OP but pretty sure the implication is that the carbon foorprint from eating meat is ridiculously higher than what you’d save through either of the two examples they gave. Had nothing to do with oil, but they mention petroleum and carbon.

Looks like a disembowelment.

They’re who made the other one posted here, too - you can actually see the head on the gallery there. Absolutely excellent work.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s at least not plush. Certainly you could commission something with more realistic looking scales if you were willing to pay for it.

Worth noting that it was also 16% cheaper, as well.

This sort of thing is unironically the best thing about Youtube. It lets people do things like this, and make money from their activities through sharing them with the world. Obviously the money isn’t the motive, but I’m sure he appreciates the Youtube revenue on the side, and it means people get to see someone doing something good that they’d otherwise be oblivious to, which helps the perception that there are, in fact, good people out there.

It’s valuable to see comments like this, though. You could claim it’s ignorance on the part of the writer, but a better takeaway is that Linux doesn’t do a good job of explaining how it works. This could have been prevented with some kind of post-install documentation explaining exactly what you just posted, for example. The “New To Linux” experience is really not great if you don’t have online communities or external-to-the-OS resources to reference to find out things like this. I went quite a long time after making the switch before really understanding that the desktop environment is largely independent from the OS and how the two relate.

On that note, having multiple desktop environments available to “demo” on the live USB pre-install would help massively. Hearing “Oh, there’s X desktop environments to choose from!” isn’t useful if you don’t know what the difference is or which one you prefer, and online resources aren’t particularly helpful if you’re coming to Linux from another OS. Fuck anyone who installs, say, CachyOS that has what, like 15-20 options? rather than 3 for Mint.

I’d be really interested to see this broken down into carbon output by corporations vs individuals, and by the top 1% in wealth vs. everyone else - I bet it would be quite telling.

These are mostly issues created by the fact that lemmy is run via self-hosting on limited hardware, rather than being run by a company with a $2 billion in annual revenue. Personally I think it’s a small price to pay to not be on Reddit.

no ability to upload media with the same ease and speed of Reddit

I can just paste an image or whatever directly into a comment field and it’s automatically uploaded and linked. For new posts, it’s drag-and-drop right onto the browser. This might be instance-specific, but what functionality were you hoping for?

You’d have just gotten fucking banned.

Ha… It was intended as a joke, more of a ‘I could have done without being reminded that the image this is referencing exists…’ sort of comment, but it’s clear that it didn’t land. No actual shade was intended to be thrown.

Wow, and to think you could have just… not posted this, and yet you chose to anyway…

Would work on me. Wouldn’t even need to trick me, I’d take that outcome willingly.

A) Just don’t use the software that requires it, you don’t need social media etc. in your life anyway, and B) I’m very confident someone will create a way to circumvent those checks very quickly anyway.

Maybe it’s just me. I like Rage against the Machine, though. :)

Edit: Pulled up a random Angine de Poitrine track and it’s pretty fire, not gonna lie!

You’re quite welcome!

Wild how, despite being an unconventional and long acronym, it’s immediately clear what you’re saying.

That’s cool; always fun to think about how ‘human’ things would have to be adapted for anthros.
