It follows, but it is also feels like click bait.

A definition of vegan is:

A vegetarian who eats plant products only, especially one who uses no products derived from animals, as fur or leather.

There is an environmental parallel, and it made me read the article to see what they were on about – so I guess it worked.

To be clear, I am very pro environment (I live in it); I just feel like this is crossing the streams of related, but completely different movements, isn’t particularly helpful.

No mayo in the bedroom? Why even bother.

There is no limit to the potatoes you can grow. The only limit is your imagination.

If you live in a place where cultivating cannabis is prohibited, and your power usage spikes, you may be placed under surveillance.

If you have an HOA or city ordinances about the condition of your yard you might get a slap on the wrist if your potato farm is unsightly. Otherwise, as not a lawyer, grow on.

Abstaining from a thing does not make one a vegan. That’s not how any of this works.

He doesn’t even need to die first. He can start as soon as… Well right now.

Unfortunately if it is anything like AI for software development, if the CEOs sense any progress they will fire people first and ask questions later. Even if the technology is subpar.

When new factories are created in the US, they will be as automated as they can be. Farming, driving vehicles (delivery, taxi, trucking, etc.), unloading trucks, stocking shelves; all of that will be done by robots eventually. Other jobs like entry level office jobs and customer support will be eliminated too and replaced with AI, as well as mid level management and creative work.

I don’t know if Elon will deliver, but someone will – and there is a ton of money on the line for whoever figures it all out first.

Maybe we’ll all get to all live in some utopia, but I doubt it…

Tesla is making AI driven humanoid robots. Ai will also eliminate many categories of jobs.

The plan seems to be removing the pesky people from the system. They just whine about healthcare and need sleep every night.

I personally pay mine off every month, but I am more fortunate than many. I think a lot of people fall behind on their bills.

People have to prioritize rent and utilities every month just to stay off the streets. Then food, healthcare, and other essential expenses need to be taken care of. Anything that can’t be paid for out of pocket goes on the credit card, and since you only need to make a minimum payment on a credit card, a lot of people will do that to keep their heads above water until next month rolls around.

It’s a vicious cycle and once that interest gets added in you are really only paying down the interest and not reducing the principal.

It played the reverse card.

Our credit cards are attached to bank accounts for monthly payments.

Credit cards companies in the US encourage putting all your expenses on the card to get cash back bonuses and other perks. They only require minimum monthly payments, and whatever carries over month to month is charged crazy high interest rates. Like over 25%.

He wants to exclude Biden voters from the $600 Trump tariff rebate checks?! The ones Trump got for us?

The same Trump that was best friends with Jeffery Epstein up until his suspicious suicide? You know, that known pedophile that Trump said “liked them young?” Remember when Trump wrote him a weird birthday card? That was odd for a president to do that. Trump did say he liked to grab women by the pussy. That was weird too.

Wait what were we talking about again? Oh yeah the $600 “sorry we dismantled your somewhat functioning government” check I probably won’t get. Cool.

Homestar and Strongbad really get me. Now sign my guestbook!

I miss the old days of people making niche websites for their hobbies, their own blogs, and message boards.

So many people think of the Internet as Google, Meta, Netflix, or <favorite social network here>. That makes me sad.

I don’t see a way back to a less commercialized internet, but little pockets of goodness like Lemmy make me happy.

“they” is rather ominous.

Developers are still familiar with the concept, there are even ideas like server side rendering in react to make sites more SEO friendly.

I think the biggest issue is that there is very little business reason to support these users. Sites can be sued over a lack of accessibility and they can lose business from bad ux, so they are going to focus in those two areas ten times out of ten before focusing on noscript and lynx users. SEO might be a compelling reason to support it, but only companies that really have their house in order focus in those concerns.

Ah oops. I got bored before the paywall lol. Probably need someone to dump the contents that is a paid subscriber.

I made it through. Maybe next time.

I won’t be using them, ha.

Sitting in an airport right now. Great.
