Zinc Oxide is safe for the environment as well, I don't see a downside to it.

AFAIK, Grayjay is not a closed source app, the source is on github, but he chose a license that restricts monetization and redistribution due to having concerns of people taking FOSS apps and repackaging them on app stores with added monetization or malware.

Not ideal, but not closed either.

It's not investment advice, it's just a nice succinct video detailing that how the new free IRS system for filing taxes will finally completely replace the racket that is TurboTax and H&R Block, saving tax filers a lot of money.

29 year old Pfc. Ivan Babcock of the US Army's 165th Signal Photo Company poses with the crown of the Holy Roman Empire in a cave in Siegan, Germany, 3 April 1945.

The cave was used by the Germans as a storage room for valuable works of art, the cave was captured by troops of the 1st US Army. The Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire was the coronation crown of the Holy Roman Emperor, probably from the late 10th century until the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806. An identical copy was made in 1915 by order of Wilhelm II for display in Aachen and is the crown being worn in this photo. The real one spent the war in a bomb-proof bunker under Nuremberg imperial castle.

Babcock survived the war and died in 1994 at the age of 77, he’s buried in South Victory Cemetery, Ludington, Mason County, Michigan, USA. Photographer: T/5 E. Braum and was provided by The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.

Incidentally, Orwell fought in the Spanish Civil war as well under the POUM, and went on to write a book about it. What he saw in Catalonia solidified him as a Democratic Socialist for the rest of his life, and soured him on totalitarian communism after seeing how the communists betrayed the Anarchists and the POUM, which inspired him to write Animal Farm.

For a deeper history on the Spanish Civil War, I'd highly recommend this excellent documentary series.

Silver lining: less flights booked means less emissions for the environment.

The industry has shown us how they absolutely cannot be trusted, while FOSS applications have shown us they are sustainable and will always put the user's interests at heart, with Blender being a prime example.

We have to stop funding closed source software, enshittification is inevitable.

If we all donated the price of Affinity's perpetual licence to Krita, Kdenlive, and Inkscape, we'd have a suite of tools that could outcompete them all, and never have to worry about another acquisition.

Ahh, you're the guys who posted over in reddit before your thread got locked that think it's a good idea to promote Russian propaganda equally with Ukrainian content, because you don't want to 'Take sides' politically. Closed source too, so that's pretty much a dealbreaker right there, especially for Privacy focused users. We've been abused by closed source software for far too long to trust anything less.

You also have absolutely no plan on how to monetize, as others have said in this thread already.

I certainly won't be supporting you, not with those values.

They're not specifically feeding them plastic only, he's showing how any waste food (old potatos, old bread, chips, etc) that comes to be processed does not have the plastic bags removed before going into a grinder to become feed.

He actually shows how it's explicitly allowed in his state regulations, likely approved due to the efforts of an agribusiness lobbyist. I suspect that any negative effects to the pigs is not enough to effect the end product/bottom line, or doesn't manifest within the timeframe of a viable animal for slaughter.

Interesting aside for anyone interested; you can subscribe to her Peertube account with your Lemmy account by searching !veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube in your instance's search bar (or clicking that link). Then any video she uploads in the future will show up in your lemmy feed, and any comments you leave on lemmy should show up on the peertube video! :D

Bernie Sanders is pretty spotless if you look at the history of his career. He's consistently stood up and voted for the little guy.

Have faith, brother. God guided his hand, it was a Holy removal.
