10·6 months agoA whole new vibe to, “plenty of fish in the sea.”
Blast from the past, been so long since I heard that track!
Never realized Drew Carey was in the vid. And is that William H Macy playing bass?
I love chip.io, too. Their salted hash is way ahead of its thyme
If you’re across the pond, better to use crisp.co.uk for GDPR compliance, tho
Abba’s car keys?
I, too, am in love with a man named Jew Mexico
Let’s just say… he always takes a right at Albuquerque
Interesting, I can definitely see it if it wasn’t for the label/handle line.
TIL that UI icons double as Rorschach tests
File storage box viewed straight-on from
the fronta handle side, hence why it’s used for ‘archive’ a lot

8·6 months agoI wonder if the Buldak mascot is meant to be a bait and switch, or their way of saying, “sorry about your butthole, here’s a cute li’l guy.”
They said “ruin”, not make it 10x better
tl;dr -
From my experience talking and traveling with others, there isn’t a hard-and-fast set of rules to being vegan. I guess you could call it a spectrum.For instance, some vegans will swear that any leather product whatsoever is bad; others would argue that leather products made decades ago are fine because they’ve already been made and you’re simply doing the reuse/recycle thing and not letting it go to waste.
Another example is honey: there are ethical ways to extract honey from hives that helps the hive in some ways, and not-so-good ways that end up killing large swathes of bees. As a result, some vegans swear any honey is bad, but others will disagree and be OK with it under strict circumstances.
From my perspective, it’s all about who you support with your wallet, which extends now beyond just animals but to nature as a whole, in terms of what the companies we buy from do with their profits. Even reaching to topics like gen AI and how the capitalists are extracting resources for their models. There are ways to train models that don’t steal other peoples’ work, etc. I’m against the big players shoving down our throats, but I’m not opposed to training a model on public domain works, or even a pool of my own work, and then utilizing local generation as a form of automation based on how I like to do things.
I also take a pretty staunch health stance against eating animal proteins just because of factory farming, but if I were to be a refugee living in the woods I wouldn’t be against hunting and killing a small and rapidly reproducing animal like a rabbit to survive (so long as I’m doing everything from the kill to field dressing, etc.). I will avoid it as long as I have other methods to get the nutrition my body needs, though.
- Arnold is mostly vegan since 2017, and was even part of a documentary on the misconceptions of plant protein
- Just look at Patrick Baboumian, who is also a vegan (appeared in the same documentary)

And honestly, I’m just tired of animal suffering, man.
This and also factory farming being on a similar level of resource usage to cryptocurrencies (not sure how it stacks up to gen AI data centers)

Technology@lemmy.world•Raspberry Pi Gets Desktop Form FactorEnglish
5·7 months ago- This isn’t actually a Pi, it’s an accessory for a Pi 5
- Potentially this enables non-electrically-savvy folks to use external GPUs with the Pi following some build guide
Whether or not it’s worth it remains to be seen, but that’s the main use-case I can see that this board adds that appeals to more than just tinkerers.

Technology@lemmy.world•Raspberry Pi Gets Desktop Form FactorEnglish
22·7 months agoAwful title from Hackaday, makes it sound like the Raspberry Pi itself is growing in size. It’s actually just an oversized accessory you can attach a Pi 5 to. The article body itself doesn’t do a whole lot to make that clear, either, until you click through the links and see better pictures of the product.
OK, let me tell you about my many layers…



They’re also suggesting a Chrome extension, as if Chrome doesn’t also feed a fascist beast’s slop machine.
