Yeah, I only buy phones with good Custom ROM support and then I flash them without Google Apps. I don’t think banking apps would be happy about that, though.
First let me be clear: I’m not a crazy conspiracy person (…on this) I just don’t rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college....
Here in Germany, fluoride is mandated by law recommended to be added to table salt, so I assume it is good to have in general.
However, regular toothpaste as well as many mouthwashes contain fluoride. In particular, they can contain a much higher dosis, because you spit it back out, so if you’re worried about your teeth, these are definitely the way to go.
Hmm, yeah, seems like only iodine is actually mandated by law. My table salt does have fluoride, but apparently that’s an optional add-on.
I believe, I rarely see salt without fluoride in the shops, but that could be a regional thing (other regions might have more fluoride naturally in their tap water).
You can also find table salt with folic acid (vitamin B9) here, and apparently sometimes also with selenium.
And yeah, quite interesting to me, too, to read up on this. I always thought, table salt is NaCl + the legally mandated additives. I guess, they do throw in these additives to give themselves a unique selling point.
And that works for me. Will look out for table salt with iodine, fluoride and folic acid on my next shop visit.
I feel like they should advertise it beyond that, because it’s one of their most recognizable brands.
With the general drought of first-party titles in the past decade, the flops last year and the studio closures this week, they could really do with some news that they’re still releasing games for the XBOX.
It’s also a title which has the potential to make fans actually buy an XBOX.
But Microsoft never seemed to understand XBOX as more than the sum of its parts, so they probably won’t do it.
Today, one day after Microsoft announced that it would shut down four of its games studios, Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, held a town hall to discuss the division’s future goals. “We need smaller games that give us prestige and awards,” Booty told employees, according to internal remarks shared with The Verge....
Firefox Sync is end-to-end-encrypted, meaning your data gets encrypted before upload and decrypted after download. The encryption key, i.e. your password, never leaves your computer. The way a password reset works, is by simply erasing your data from the server and then re-uploading from your Firefoxes. This means, if law enforcement or attackers get data from Mozilla’s servers, they can’t do anything with your Sync data.
I’m on board with being sceptical about security, but this is one of the simplest and most bulletproof approaches.
Syncing all about:config values wouldn’t work, since it contains lots of variables which are OS-specific or contain temporary values, like timestamps.
If you want to synchronize specific values, you can create a user.js file in your Firefox profile folder and synchronize that via file sync or Git or similar.
I mean, I won’t agree with whatever reason they have anyways, but it feels like they could have followed that up with a second part and that could have been their cash cow (due to lower development cost and higher attention from journalists).
Feels to me like they’re optimizing for short-term shareholder payouts, due to the two major flops they had last year, and sacrificing long-term profitability for it.
It’s only been 3 years since Microsoft acquired Bethesda, but I do wonder, if Bethesda on their own would have similarly lost their fucking minds during the pandemic, to build up developer capacity which would obviously not be needed forever.
There’s some good vegan cheeses now, too. Not yet centuries-of-tradition levels of variety+refinement, but it can compete with your average sliced cheese. You might need to try a few brands, though…
If it’s any consolation, I don’t feel like many people go cold turkey. It was tons of baby steps for me, too. It requires going out of one’s comfort zone to try out some vegan food. And if your comfort zone is big enough in that direction, then it doesn’t hurt anymore to leave a slice of meat/dairy comfort zone behind.
Personally, I would actually be open to that. On a moral level, I’m thinking, if the cow has gotten naturally pregnant and is provided food+shelter and hasn’t been bred to provide unhealthy levels of milk and has enough milk to feed her young, too, then I feel like a talking cow would be on board. So, if performed with an abundance of caution and respect, I consider that moral.
But if I remember correctly, I read once that this would result in ⅕ of the milk output of a dairy cow in industrial production. And you’d only get this milk while and shortly after the cow is pregnant.
So, in essence, that would result in so little dairy, it would be pretty much a vegan diet anyways…
Their comment was tongue-in-cheek, I’m pretty sure.
Yes, higher FPS absolutely results in better motion clarity. In particular, 15 FPS is so low that it’s likely to be perceived as individual pictures rather than continuous motion.
I am not talking about capitalism. I am talking about the survival of humans and the ecosystems around us. We need to battle climate change. And the industrialized cow agriculture is one of the biggest problems in that.
In particular, I also consider it more optional than e.g. heating rooms in the winter. The excessive consumption of milk products and meat only started after WW2 and is widely considered unhealthy. Food experts have been begging for us to eat more veggies, for decades.
Capitalism will not work for this. We need to financially support farmers in transitioning to more climate-friendly options. Humanity as a whole fucked up in that regard, and we need a solution sooner rather than later.
Waiting until capitalism badly self-regulates, that will cost us more and more of the ecosystems we depend on, and force more and more ethnic groups around the globe into extreme poverty, into political instability, into dictatorships and terrorism.
The sooner we have a solution, the better for humanity as a whole, but I absolutely do not see a reason why this would need to happen at the cost of farmers.
And I do not have a problem with heritage. If we go back to pre-industrial levels of cow agriculture, that’s plenty good for battling climate change.
My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)...
Leaving a comment feels weird, too. There’s not even an OP to talk to, so it’s like shouting into the void.
In principle, I do get the need for these communities. Like, if you just want capybara pictures to show up in your feed, then you don’t need many comments on those.
But these bots usually spit out far too many posts for my liking, so more often than not, I do block them anyways.
Interesting. Here on lemmy.ml, none of the porn shows up, because I guess, it’s blocked at the instance level. Unfortunately, I do still get horny anime posts every so often…
Yeah, same about c/india. It kind of annoys me, because I would have been interested in some of their culture, food etc., but it was just a ton of posts and mostly about politics…
Well, there can be some things to talk about, like if you live in a country that’s mostly religious, then how did you find a romantic partner, or how did you “come out” to your parents etc…
But the “Religion, am I right?”-posts are easy to make and will naturally get a lot more upvotes than a discussion post, so the latter get buried, unfortunately.
Or you guys just misunderstood each other. It is ok to misunderstand each other once in a while. No one needs to be declare right or wrong for this interaction.
Gross. Android defaults are a privacy nightmare.
