I restrict myself to eating vegetarian + things like oysters, abalone. But I'm guilty and have been eating fish. The bigger the fish, the more guilty and apprehensive I feel about the fish having some degree of qualia. Probably its fine eating Sardines with their tiny brains? As you may have surmised, it's a philosophical topic I'm very uncertain about.

People are often perplexed, saying that since everything dies anyway, it doesn't matter. But it's not about death, it's about how it lived it's life in a slaughterhouse or whatever. of course, life out in the wild is brutal too, so many animals that end up on the dinner table probably lived better lives than they would have in the wild. But, as my empathy and compassion grows to encompass other animals, even if the meat on the table is "ethical" by my own judgement, I find myself awkwardly thinking to myself "uhh, maybe ill just eat the damn tofu instead".

But out of GNUNet sprung GNU Taler which looks like it has a more promising future than even GNUnet it's self, since they have a prototype and have actually shown it to bankers.

If you happen to be a bazillionare, consider supporting these projects :) or if you're a banker, consider adopting the world's first consumer protecting payment system that extends the traditional system without providing a convenient vehicle for crime like cryptocurrencies.

Disclaimer: I'm not an an expert on anything, just a curious person.

Not disagreeing with the need for isolation though, I just think it should be designed carefully in a zero-sacrifice way (of use control/pragmatic software freedom)
