A growing number of instances (mainly of Mastodon so far) are signing an 'Anti-Meta Fedi Pact', pledging to block any instance owned by Meta in the fediverse....
@Mr_Jabroni
Considering the well-known privacy violations and surveillance practices of Meta/Facebook, it's not hard to imagine that one of their future actions, possibly sooner rather than later, would involve cross-referencing accounts in the fediverse with their own platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, and others. In Mastodon, users have the option to block instances, ensuring that those instances cannot access their data. However, we don't even have that level of protection here. @LollerCorleone

@yoasif I don't remember, but I think I always used Firefox (maybe I am one of the few people that started with a Linux computer since the begining).
Now I use both Firefox and Brave, Brave for the sites in which Firefox is too slow.
When looking at the recent history of many popular and highly successful online sites, there tends to be a certain trend they’re all following: rampant corporate greed butting heads with its original core mission and its user base, all of which eventually leads to major issues for the site.

Although plant milks have been consumed for centuries in various cultures, their popularity has skyrocketed over the past decade. People choose plant milk over dairy milk for a variety of reasons.
hi @tojikomori , I have followed your recommendation and today I tried to prepare flax milk.
First time I tried in the morning, and the result was not very good (water with swimming seeds). For the second attempt we put the seeds in water several hours, and we prepare the milk with the soaked seeds.
I think I have to find yet the way to get a good taste on it. It was too herbal, not ready for coffee, but I'm sure it can be improved a lot after I do it more times. Or maybe the kind of flax is different?
How do you prepare it?
@tojikomori
Hey, about why I do at home, there are several reasons.
Availability of plant based milks in shops is high, it is not a problem. Some years ago people from Europe and North-America told me that here is more extended. There are two factors, the first one are religious reasons, what makes that in places in which there is meat cannot be milk present or served in the same meal. A second one is that the veganism is very extended, and the consume of vegan products go beyond the community. Then it is not a problem, at least for soy milk and almond milk (btw a traditional product... almond trees are indigenous in the region). Oat milk is quite new, and started to be successful.
I have two main reasons:
The trash: I use a lot of milk plants, specially soy. In general my consume of protein is high due to my sport activity. If I buy in shops, more than 50% of my trash are tetrapacks, which are quite hard to be recycled.
Prices: prices of food increased a lot in the last time. The main factors were the corona crisis and the war of Ukraine (here there is not production of cereals due to the climate). Actually a liter of soy milk in the shops near my home is in dollar 3.65. But the products to my it by oneself at home are quite cheap, especially almonds or oat (or flax, I though it was expensive because but it is not). Even soy is not so expensive, if I see that the price of a liter of soy milk is the same that the soy beans I need for 5 weeks. Pices started going down due to some liberalization in production and commercialization an imports, accepting the European standards (American are more difficult in this case).
Taste: believe me, you cannot compare.
And it is not really a lot of work. Oat or almond milk I need less than 5 minutes to prepare for one day, including time to clean the blender.

At Reddit I can save a thread, at Mastodon I can bookmark a post or comment. How do I save a Kbin (or other) 'article', comment, etc?
Yes, I know browser bookmarks exist. But there must be some native functionality that I keep just not noticing - right?
