Vegan Nutella, made with chickpeas and rice syrup, to hit shelves
  • They're made by a local supermarket chain here in Europe, one of their organic brands. They use sunflower oil instead of palm oil, and taste fantastic. Apart from that, just sugar, hazelnuts, cocoa, lecithin and vanilla. Maybe check organic supermarkets in your area?

    Endometriosis pain leads to missed school and work in two-thirds of women with the condition, new study finds
  • Yes, just think of the sweet productive work hours that are being missed. Wouldn't it be great to make more money off of women? Just need to invest into research on the fucking thing, so you can make more money. Do it!!

    Why limit immigration?
  • I agree! (Also about Christianity, fuck anyone whose dogmatism causes them to disrespect any marginalized group.)

    But I don't think anyone should tolerate intolerance. If it's part of your culture to subjugate women and hate LGBTQ people or other religions, you will have to change that part of your culture or fuck all the way off.

    Why limit immigration?
  • Both the US and Europe would be much nearer to that level if any migration was allowed unchecked. It is becoming a problem in Europe and it is growing. It's just a sad reality that democracy can't consist of people who don't believe in democracy.

    Why limit immigration?
  • Problems start when the people coming in don't share those sentiments and instead want their authoritarian culture to replace and dominate.

    Edit: also, in the West democracy and equality have become part of our culture and tradition, for the most part, and those values just are not shared by lots of migrants. And you can't tolerate those values being replaced. It's the paradox of tolerance.

  • I think it's partly leftover dribble from the inane Gaia "theory" that was so strong in hippie circles. Everything natural (like bacteria in milk) is good, and you know, gut bacteria, yogurt, 's all good, right?

    Combine that with "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" beliefs that they don't realize come from right wing nuts and you got a perfect diarrhea inducing cocktail that we all get to pay for with our taxes and our nerves.

    This should be the next dumbest internet challenge. Enter the AI prompt "tattoo" and get that tattoo. /S
  • 1000010324

    You're doing it wrong, the prompt has to be "dumb internet tattoo" or similar.

    (Apart from that, I applaud your stupid challenge. You should maybe couple it with having to donate 10 bucks to Harris if you don't get the tattoo.)

    Microsoft's 'Recall' feature can't be uninstalled after all
  • Just finally switched my gaming PC to Linux mint. It works flawlessly. I can even re-use the steam game files I downloaded on Windows. Never going back.

    Hey guys,

    so I posted here a few weeks ago, with the idea of donating a gaming PC to a nursing home. I talked to someone in charge there today, this might actually happen.

    Thing is, to try this out I would probably have to supply the software (Microsoft Flight Simulator being the most important now.)

    As I understand it, you can only use the Flight Simulator with a Microsoft account. If I let them use my own account, that would mean a PC with my logged in account would be standing around there in the open, for anyone to access.

    Does anyone have any idea how to approach this in a safe manner? I wish I could just buy a physical copy and let them have it for a while, before they buy their own. But even those need a connected Microsoft account nowadays, it seems.

    Was also thinking of buying a used Xbox Series S (this might become the long term solution anyway), but same issue with the account, I believe.

    (Man, modern gaming keeps finding ways to be annoying sometimes.)

    P.S. If you have great game recommendations for octogenarians, bring them on!

    Recently talked to a 90+ year old man in a park in front of his nursing home, guy is a former RC plane enthusiast. Can't do anything now because of his age, though. Bored all the time, sitting in the park is his highlight.

    Thinking of donating an old gaming PC that can somewhat run the Microsoft flight simulator. Would that be a good idea? Can the average 80-90 year old use that at all, just speaking sensorically and motor skill wise?

    Are there any other thoughts you have on that idea?

    So I'm talking about playing previously Windows-only games on Linux, e.g. via proton.

    I don't know about the libraries etc that are used - is it possible for Microsoft to use some legal voodoo, for example, to suddenly end it all, and make the use of their libraries illegal (if they belong to Microsoft in the first place)?

    Or could there be other ways of interference?

    I was thinking of something like the Duff Man theme and slapping sounds and moans, but I feel that Lemmy knows better.

    (Obviously, I would start texting and calling him during the next meeting)

    I've been reading the same thing a couple of times lately, company x removes Denuvo from game y.

    What is happening? Are we returning to a state of innocence and purity?

    Alright, your propaganda here over the past months has worked. I want to get into Star Trek. Where do I start? Can I take an abbreviated tour? Or do I need to go to TOS?

    Hello, I love this community, but I can't stand it that so many posts don't feature the year that the artwork was made. That's such important information, just to place that piece of art in context. Maybe it can be made a requirement to include the year? What do you think?

    I think it's silly to speak in full sentences to home assistants, when I really just use 5 commands most of the time.

    It would be snappier to make weird sounds, produced by snapping ones tongue e.g., like some African tribes use in their languages.

    Or any other weird, short sounds.

    It might be more satisfying to use, and probably funnier.

    Also, over the course of a few years this might find its way into everyday spoken language. Which would be wonderfully dystopian and maybe funny.

    Seriously. I don't want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that's what it's called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden.

    What's the reason for that? To attach the customer? To sell the app for money? Is there more ad revenue that way? Do you reach more people?

    (Are there any good reasons for it, too? Security, maybe?)

    I once heard that in the middle of 20th century, public transportation in the USA was widely privatized and bought by automotive manufacturers, and then wilfully left to rot, so that people would buy more cars.

    However, I can't find anything backing that up. Do you know whether that's true, and where I can find some sources for that?

    I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don't recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn't cut it, either.

    The best thing would be several randomness sliders. One for randomness in bands, the other for randnomness of their songs, one for genres. Please tell me some music service has implemented something like that. I am dying over here.

    With all the hormones and whatnot inside. Dopamine, adrenaline, melatonin, whatever. Also, there's this Hunter S. Thompson bit on the.. pineal gland?

    If it had an effect on you, wouldn't it be a really messed up high, all over the place? With uppers, downers etc mixed? (Not including the emotional implications of eating raw human brains.)

    Hey there,

    so I was turned off by all the drama at launch and waited until now to buy the game. I hear major changes are going to come soon.

    So do you think it's a better idea to start playing it now, or wait for patch 1.7/2.0?
