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...

Just got started with clickhouse. Super cool software.

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

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.

Tell me you never had a vegan burger without telling me you never had a vegan burger.

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.

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.

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.
