Have you tried the iOS app as well? Interested to hear your experience with it.

Would be cool if you could tell the bridge to automatically move all telegram chats to your designated telegram space...

I mean it is a little absurd, when everyone on the planet is using email, which is federated...

What about Conduit? Recently entered beta and is also written in rust.

Try MoSMB. It's proprietary, but we have had good results with it on CephFS.

I bridge Signal/Whatsapp/Telegram and you can absolutely start chats through the bridge bot. It might be a little inconvenient, but for the rare occasion I do need it, it works absolutely fine.
They didn't scrap it though?

Aren't B12 deficiencies widespread everywhere though? I think I read somewhere that ~40% of the US population is B12 deficient, regardless of diet.

Look at Inter. Absolutely the best open source font I found. Also variable!
Drug store is not the same as a pharmacy. (At least here in Germany). Of course you can get fluoride toothpaste in the supermarket as well though.
At least game streaming works just as well with Moonlight. Everything else you mentioned are very nieche usecases for most users. (I say that as somebody running a Plex server myself).

People are actually reversing the effect of Type 2 diabetes with high-carb plant-based diets. Low-carb diets have been found to increase the risk of getting Type 2 diabetes.

Re:Are animals more conscious than we are? on Saturday July 10, 2021 @04:38AM (#27792048)
That study was so flawed, it's not even funny. It took one specific scenario in Australia, where farmers had to kill a lot of rodents (due to a seasonal plague) to protect their crop and compared that to a single animal slaughtered for a meat dish. They completely failed to mention that livestock are fed that exact same crop, that the farmers were killing the rodents for. IIRC there a couple such "studies", but all similarly flawed.
Re:How to Love Animals in a Human-Shaped World on Friday July 02, 2021 @11:42AM (#27712955)
Agree with Mence, not the author. He comes over as arrogant. For example countering one of the stats Mence cited (Cows needing 20 times more farmland, which is true) with an argument that isn't necessarily relevant to the discussion. Mences argument is to massively reduce the amount of farmland, not make use of farmland that couldn't otherwise be used for growing crops!

Give libreddit a shot. I recently switched from old.reddit.com and much prefer it.
iPad Pro M1 with Linux would be my dream device.

I am in the same boat as you and so tired of people telling me to just get a Macbook... I don't want a laptop.
Re:Sublime Text 4 on Sunday May 23, 2021 @05:43AM (#27253700)
Just tried ST4 over the weekend and decided to switch from VSCode. Basically got everything set up exactly the same, but ST4 feels a lot better/faster.
Also ctrl+shift+p in Sublime Text.
Re:Use Alacritty instead of Termite on Sunday May 09, 2021 @01:57AM (#27093601)
Drew DeVault just started recommending foot over Alacritty. You might want to check it out.
Not OP, but no? Are you implying that commiting to a Vegan diet means no delicious food? Because you couldn't be further from the truth.

Once you actually go out of your way to eat a balanced plant based diet, you'll discover super tasty recipes that are on par or better with the dishes you are used to.

Probably not. We want to feel good about ourselves, so we twist the numbers in our favor and can point at China as a "reason" not to change anything here.

Please share any sources that say it could be less sustainable than milk. There is absolutely no way this would be true.
