If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌

Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.

    Unrelated - tagging in Voyager is really handy!

    I recommend everyone give it a try, helps you identify, say, people who might be talking a big contrarian game without providing any of their own peer reviewed sources to back themselves up. Very interesting feature.

      Yeah commie definitely materializes every time the subject of animal rights comes up on here, and always has the most tired, long-debunked takes on it. Maybe trying to take a page from the alt-right: repeat a lie enough and it becomes truth.

          Weird, I have no such option. Are you on 2.38.0? I installed through F-droid which currently only has up to 2.37.2, so maybe it’s a new feature - though I don’t see it listed in the change log.
