If I recall, Signal has gotten better in recent years in that you don’t necessarily need Google Play to use it anymore. But my issue with it is that their backend still seemed pretty centralized the last time I checked, which could get increasingly problematic moving forward, since they’re based in the US.

US.

Why are so many images being shared in webp format these days?

This. The fundamentals of things computers do is so heavily abstracted now days, all kids know how to do is work with those abstractions.

I’ve never, not even once, seen another vegan who has argued that a person should starve if they have no other choice but to eat animal products.

Or for other options you can checkout LineageOS. Filter by tablet to see which ones are supported, and that can help narrow choices of tablets that can be made privacy-respecting. Just make sure to use a version that does not have gapps on it. Once you use LineageOS’s site to find a supported tablet, you can go to the MicroG for LineageOS site to download the MicroG version of the OS. This comes with a set of alternatives to Google spyware so you can use your tablet completely free of Google.

I’ve had an e-ink device, and read ebooks on a number of devices. Some notes:

• If it’s a casual read and I can get the book in epub or mobi format, I might just have it on my phone and use Librera.

• I did not like e-ink displays at all. The text itself doesn’t appear easier on the eyes to me, and if anything the jarring refreshes on each page turn make the overall experience even more straining. For this reason regular Android tablets have become my preferred way to read books.

• For tablets I suggest one that is at least 10 inches. A lot of ebooks are still only available in pdf format, and I’ve found that anything smaller than a 10 inch display makes for bad pdf reading.

• Following from all that, I would suggest the Pixel Tablet, because from a privacy perspective, you have the option to install GrapheneOS on it. From there you can get F-Droid, install any of those ebook apps, and now you have a reasonably secure and private ebook reader - and the best part is, because it’s a general purpose tablet, you’re not accumulating unnecessary single-purpose devices. You never know if the tablet might have other important uses down the line.

You do you. Was just sharing some info, I was curious about it as well.

Also, if we’re going to start shifting blame to capitalism, please tell me how your ideal system of governance would manage to get the current 98-95% of individuals who are consuming harmful and unethical foods to change? Corporations have a lot of blame for the toxic food environment and food deserts to be sure. But also in the case of the food industry, their harmful practices are driven by consumer demand for the most addictive, hyperpalatable foods. Nothing can change without enough individuals choosing to do better.

Dude, orthorexia nervosa Isn’t real. You just have your head in the sand.

So all you can do is resort to ad hominems? Grow up.

You’re basically saying the same thing the other person who replied to my comment said, so see here. No sacrifice, and your characterization of longevity is an unfounded myth. The pursuit of health doesn’t just expand years, it increases quality of life in the here and now. There’s a word for it, “healthspan”. Pursuing health and longevity leads to greater tasting food, because it involves cutting out all the hyperpalatable bombs of added sugar, fat, and salt that fry your taste buds so much that all you can taste is those kinds of foods. Do you even know what real food tastes like? I can have the pleasure of great food, the ecstasy of intense exercise, and the fulfillment of any other of life’s worthwhile joys.

False dichotomy. I can eat all kinds of delicious foods, even having my health and eating my cake, and the best part is I don’t have to perform any mental gymnastics to ignore any guilt or shame about the suffering my diet causes. There’s something poetic about the best possible things for me, being the best possible things for all other beings out there. In reality, you just don’t know what you’re missing.

Yeah, maybe some day. It is one of the thing I keep telling myself I’ll get around to.

It might not have all the convenience of Proton Pass, but Keepass has been and probably always will be dependable.

The vast majority of breads are adulterated to a point of being virtually fraudulent. At least in the US there is pretty much only two brands of bread that are actually good, and most people have access to only one, if any. Here’s a video that goes into detail about it:

Whole grain bread is okay, depending on brand and quality (Ezekial bread is the only good kind I normally have acess to). Any kind that’s not whole grain (or good quality whole grain) contributes to diabetes risk. That is not love. That is hurt.
