    the human population is very much reliant on animal sources to sustain itself

    Do you have a source for that? What % of the global meat consumption is actually necessary and what is just for pleasure? And don’t get me started on food waste…

    what is required to continue existing as a species

    Do you mean scale up as a species? We’ve existed for how many thousands of years in a sustainable way?

    the distinctive categories of pets and livestock are an unfortunate requirement of our current situation

    A requirement for what? You said we need animals to sustain ourselves. What do we need the distinction of pets for?

    People who treat pets animals as property are not good people.

    FTFY

    I’m not a militant vegan, I do make occasional exemptions for ethically sourced animal products. But the distinction between pets and other animals is just hypocritical.

    You can install DNS content blockers (like NextDNS) on Apple TV which will take care of a good chunk of ads and privacy violations. This also works if you install a VPN App that has those options.

    Not sure what you would install on a shield that would be much more effective. Maybe you could explain.


  • I have a second bank account with a credit card for daily spending and online purchases. It only has a certain amount of money I expect to need for the month. If I need to make bigger purchases I’ll have to transfer the funds to it first.

    Also things like Apple/Google/Amazon Pay hide CC info so you could use those instead when they are available.

    SMS is a dead technology as it should be. It’s not private or secure in any way and the apps you listed probably just don’t give a fuck about implementing it in a way that is.

    If Signal had just 1 person working on keeping it alive it would still be money that could be spent elsewhere. Like the username feature I had been patiently waiting for, which was delivered recently and is a great addition.
