The enormous scale of global food waste.
  • Not considering the type of food really reduces this to moslty meaningless.

    Wasting a pound of rice is not nearly as bad for the environment, economy and nutrients lost as losing a pound of meat.

  • Do you think this scammer just hopes they will, with luck, contact someone named Annie who does yoga?
  • Could also be a "ping" where they send this text to a lot of numbers, and those that respond get recorded as "alive"

    Then they can either:

    • Do some recon on the number for spear phishing
    • Save money by aiming the bigger part of the campaign (possibly multiple or large texts) only towards online numbers
    • Some other reason 🤷
  • That is not vegan.
  • Okay, let me be clearer since you took this to the obviously ridicules extreme.

    "As long as you have a choice" this is the missing part. You can argue about what constitutes as a choice, but at the end of the day no one can truly do no harm, we can make the best choices we can to reduce harm.

    Eating an oyster is probably a choice, which could have been avoided easily.

    Eating vegetables is not something you can avoid while reducing harm.

  • Why did Sentinel One get "S"?

    I always wondered why did some startup get what seems like a specials symbol, just the letter S.

    How is that decision made and why was the symbol S free? Is it really special or was it just some coincidence?

    I'm Conflicted

    I have a Pixel 4a (with Calyx) for a few years already (start of 2021) and it's still going great. The battery is okay. Everything works nice. It's smooth. It runs everything perfectly fine.

    This makes me glad to see that hardware wise this phone was really built to last, I can't even count how many times I dropped it so hard that I was scared to see the damage (which was always either nothing or a broken screen protector)

    But software wise I'm screwed as security updates are already gone from Google and I only get the extended support from Calyx which will also end soon.

    Now I'm forced to choose between having a phone that is insecure or buying a new one.

    So thanks Google for the high quality hardware, but what's up with this software planned obsolescence??

    I know this isn't exactly right to repair, but it also kind of is because if Google decided to ditch the 4a, they should be forced to open source the software so that the public can actually repair it.

    I'm sure that some of their latest updates can be modified slightly to work for the 4a, but they don't care and for them this is a win-win since they don't have to maintian support and they get new customers who would otherwise be satisfied with an "old" phone.

    What happened to the days when an old phone meant a phone that was already crumbling to pieces, and not a fully functional computer that is slightly older then a toddler?

    Imperial units people, Do you sometimes get confused about time units as well?

    Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc.

    Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes before remembering that it is 90 minutes.

    Does something similar happen to imperial units users? Because as far as I understand you don't have obvious patterns that would cause you to make these mistakes, right?

    Should I get diagnosed?

    I strongly suspect that I have ADHD, but I can't see the benifit of getting diagnosed.

    I know that if I get diagnosed and offically have ADHD I can get some medicine but I don't think I want that in any case.

    Can you share your experience and what benifit you got from getting offically diagnosed?

    Should I bother with HTTPS over Tailscale?

    I have a home server and I have some HTTP services running on it. I'm thinking if I should even bother with HTTPS, as I'm already using tail scale which should be peer-to-peer and encrypted. So I shouldn't worry about any men in the middle.

    Am I missing something?

    It just feels wrong to work with non-S HTTP :(

    Best DE for touch screens but also normal use

    Hi!

    I have an HP 360 which has a touch screen and I never found a DE that is great for both regular input and touch input.

    Kde is great for regular stuff but meh with touch, gnome is the other way around.

    I was thinking of trying out hyperland but didn't look into it's touch compitability.

    Any suggestions?

    I use arch btw.

    Is it wrong for 25M to date 19F?

    So I met this girl by chance and we really hit it off, once I learned of her age I decided to just be friends as I think that 19 to 25 is an age were we mature a lot and I remember myself as a 19yo and I was not mature enough to be a good partner and to be good to myself.

    I talked to a female friend of mine and she said that I'm over thinking it and that I should ask her out and be open minded, and so I did and we are going on a date soon.

    The thing is, she seems really mature but I can't put aside the age gap.

    Am I over thinking it? Should I really just take it slow and just be vigilant about the situation and notice if this isn't healthy for me or her?

    Or should I let her down easy and continue as friends?

    Update: We went on a date and it was great, I read all of the comments and there were some really good advices that I took to heart. I will take things slow and try to be as aware of the situation as possible. I hope it will go well :)

    Thank you everyone!
