Yeah, cows evolved to provide milk not for their young but for the farmers. Good job genius!

Yeah because all the douchebags that come out when you try to be reasonable have convinced me there’s no hope for 99% of people. Trying to convince strangers online is a waste of time.

Oh yeah we should totally use history as our reference point for the majority of us on Lemmy living in the modern world where it’s super unnecessary to continue abusing animals, that totally makes sense.

We get it, you copied some Reddit comment a long time ago and that’s your default retort.

Silly me, I thought I’d win people over with that 🙄 What led you to believe that was my intention?

No, I think only stupid people could possibly slurp down breast milk meant for babies of a completely different species.

I use Apple devices for end-user activities but Linux for my routers and servers. I grew up with Windows at home and Macs at school; as a teen I used Linux full time on used PCs but always loved the “it just works” design of Apple gear.

I actually prefer FreeBSD, but Docker and containerization have brought me much closer to Linux.

Specifically, I love using Alpine Linux due to its flexibility. Its packages are very up to date and I can install an actually working Node or Ruby with a simple apk add versus installing nvm or rbenv. It’s awesome for lightweight, no nonsense stuff like Tailscale, VPNs, etc.

I’m actually not shocked but that’s because it looks like the same corporate boilerplate every CEO has been putting out lately.

I highly doubt adults consuming cow’s milk in 2024 have reasoning skills at that level.

Yeah, that’s pretty annoying.

I use Tailscale with an exit node in my home country and another in Switzerland. Most my traffic goes to Switzerland, but some of it exits locally as websites block other countries. I’d rather it still pass through a VPN rather than my home IP address.

It’s mostly painless, the only website outright blocking VPNs is Reddit (which I don’t care about), but I block most other social media companies and Google properties so I’m not concerned about them.

I personally use a double-hop VPN to avoid this but I don’t think that’s necessarily scalable to all users or a valid suggestion for the non-technical among us.

This is what keeps me from rolling my own instance for personal use. I would need to buy a domain (linked to me) to communicate with anyone else.

It would be nice to be able to spin up an instance on i2p or Tor without still needing access to the “normal” web, but I don’t think everyone’s going to hop onto pure i2p unless it comes built in to apps.

What is the most private phone? Take a visit to a Google property and curb stomp your privacy to find out!

Feeling attacked with Leggable and Fleable. I’ve been known to write a concern or two in Ruby on Rails but what can I say? I like my code DRY.

looks at community I hope so?

The only Windows people I know are the Java developers at my workplace and it shows. Containerization and Linux/UNIX conventions are definitely not followed and everything’s a clusterfuck with those guys.

For me, having it locked down is the selling point. I used to be big into jailbreaking but for 90% of users it’s better this way.

For development work though obviously having it not so locked down is kind of necessary. Luckily I don’t write apps from iOS or tvOS so it’s a nonissue for me.

Orion is a pretty sick browser letting you run Chrome and Firefox extensions in a WebKit browser. It looks/feels very close to Safari, and though having those extensions sounds super glitchy it’s actually very well-polished.
