  • Well, from the EUs perspective, while the US is certainly generally an Ally, it is sometimes a rather tense relationship.

    I’d argue, you could describe China pretty similarly, although that would be somewhat disingenuous, as I think EU and US values are more similar than EU and Chinese values.

    Anyway, if you don’t want the data of your people to go to some questionable other country, you’d have to forbid US social networks as well.



  • I think it may be decent, but the homepage is not convincing me.

    I had a tiny little look, and don’t like that I had to log in (although selfhosting seems to be possible since very recently), and then had a weirdly full notebook. It also seems like they don’t save their data in nice little markdown files, but use some custom database-stuff.
    They probably allow exporting into markdown, but I’d prefer it to be stored in a legible format.

    Overall, I had a look, and I’ll stay with logseq + syncthing


  • I’d say that’s a philosophical question.

    And worse even, I’d say this is something that changes with the culture of people.

    a while ago, gladiators killing & maiming each other for entertainment was considered fine.
    Raping and Abducting during wartime was normal.

    Currently, I’d say the cultural moral compass has shifted enough, to consider these two examples rather bad behaviour.

    But as Tasty seems to have had a nice life and didn’t suffer, so had it better than most cows which end up in a similar fate, I’d say that currently this would not be considered “bad” behaviour by most people.

    Of course there is a viewpoint already out, that all killing of animals is equivalent, in other words equivalent to killing humans. From that point of view, what you did is rather horrific.
    Maybe, in some time, when something like lab-grown meat without any nervous system is commonplace, killing animals for food becomes as horrific as we consider killing other humans for food.
    Or, you know, it could also swing the other way, and an apocalypse makes Soylent from dead people completely normal food.


  • So is this theory of veganism to not cause pain to an animal? If so what about ethically sourced meat. Like bullet to the head/decapitation. Most of those creatures feel nothing, they just end.

    lots (propably most) animals used for farming meat are in pain during their lives.
    That’s longer than the time they’re dying in any case.
