There’s listenbrainz if you scrobble music. Can discover music from there or some projects might try to do Playlist recommendations. navidrome has a plugin that does this though i haven’t tried it because i don’t scrobble to external services
Their chart covers licensing and lists roon as closed source. I think this is not intended to be one of the “awesome” FOSS lists
Thank you for all that you do!
Not necessarily, palm oil itself can be vegan since it is plant derived, but the practices to extract it most often are not vegan. There are many things that aren’t vegan that many people wouldn’t think of unless they’re really questioning the production of what they consume. Another good example is that a lot of beers are made with animal byproducts as part of the processing such as fining agents. If you just look at the label you wouldn’t know it’s not vegan unless you know to ask the manufacturer about their process. The same would apply to palm oil since some is supposedly sourced ethically and sustainably. Personally i avoid it because i think a lot of places green wash their process and it is easier to just avoid it than to verify if the palm oil was really ethically/sustainably sourced or not.
There’s many more examples of “gotchas” like this that new vegans with good intentions may not know about. It’s a learning curve. When i was early on in my journey there was a lot of things i didn’t really understand but i just do my best and continually learn.
Sure, and many vegans do end up eating less ultra processed foods. But my point is that eating healthier isn’t what being vegan is about. Vegan isn’t a diet like many people think. It’s a way of life to reduce and eliminate harm to animals
The spirit of veganism is excluding consumption of things that result in animal cruelty, exploitation, or death. There is no requirement to avoid ultra-processed foods
Two things can make Oreos not vegan:
You can be a vegan but make very sugary and unhealthy snacks. You could then consume that and eat more calories than you burn in a day, and over time you would become overweight.
This means it is possible to be an overweight vegan, and as you mention this is also possible with the processed vegan foods that have become available that make it easier to consume more calories than you burn in a day.
“We need more research to find less painful ways to kill shellfish,” Dr. Sneddon urges.
It’s sad that this is the takeaway and not “let’s not eat these creatures that experience stress and pain”
Yeah i only see 2 paragraphs but it is listed as an 8 minute read/listen. Archive.ph also doesn’t show full article
I can see the case for it, I could also see the case for allowing at least Google to index the site.
Googlebot is the User-agent for search results which isn’t blocked here
This looks like an anti-AI robots.txt, which makes sense given the instance. It’s meant to prevent scraping data and using it to train AIs.
I think the crux of it is making people care though. If people don’t care about animal well-being enough to become vegan, what is going to make them care about the environment enough to become vegan? The environmental crisis is going to have to get a lot worse before people even consider giving up their precious meat
Neat. It’ll be interesting to see the data they publish in 6 months and how much better the efficiency can be with two functional sails.
I was born for this
