Crit

But it's also unfair to blame customers for not supporting something financially when it would be easy to improve from the criticism. If fairphone wanted to sell more they would address the feedback from GrapheneOS instead of hiding behind the startup label, but instead we get this zombie development where the product is held up by partnership decisions that are holding them back, and any criticism to help improve their standing is shot down.

Because they probably claim they're hand made models so you pay for skill when you're getting mass market.

Makes sense, thank you. I personally try to avoid red meats because of the concerns you raised. I'm not saying a meat only diet is the way, ofc you need a well rounded diet and greens certainly have their place in our diets, but we are omnivores for a reason

I'm disgusted that you'd assume I use AI.

Sorry my thoughts got lost over multiple messages. I meant to get a similar amount of protein you need to consume more vegan food, especially calorie rich ones, most restaurants that I've seen when they have comparable items the vegan one had way more calories. I'd love to hear more of your experiences with this as someone who's gone through that, do you find it harder to stay in shape?

Also thank you for actually engaging with me on this, the other person was very volatile.

We live in an economy engineered to isolate us and make us work building up these empires for crumbs to be able to survive while slowly selling our souls sway. It's depressing.

Username checks out.

It is food, get off your high horse if you plan on convincing anyone to back you. Topics and opinions are more nuanced than you want and people can't easily get boxed.

Yes I'm aware the food industry is one of the least efficient industries out there. No I don't think pure abolition is realistic or useful, as the products that come out of it can't be replaced, you can adjust your diet to get proteins and such from other places, but beans and nuts are going to rack up your calories a ton compared to meat.

And calling someone a useful idiot is bold while you're taking the pressure off of the ai industry which is not producing something useful for people (unlike meat which in spite of the failings of the industry is still helpful*) to say "but what about this other thing?!". We can deal with both, but one of those is definitely worse than the other and it's the one that we have existed without for thousands of years.

Something can be both useful and also destructive. Pretty sure people have done the maths and to approach the levels of efficiency that say meat has you'd be consuming a lot more calories. Similarly actual milk is better than soy milk.

This isn't to diss people that make the choice, but your quality of life will be worse, so yes I count that as those meat products being necessary, in spite of the environmental damage. I think there are better ways to fix that. Diversifying the meat industry, lowering food waste, etc. What seems more interesting at the moment is lab grown meat, since it has all the pros with none of the cons, except cost.

Except you need food to eat, you don't need AI.

Is that the pipepipe pipeline?
