Just did 1,010 words!

Found out that the skip button skips the word, not the prompt.

Probably not, since there has to be some processing of the noise to identify what it is. TheBackyardScientist did a video somewhat similar to that, here: https://piped.video/watch?v=4WSQqDHK1Yw

That is a really bold opinion, and honestly I don’t disagree.

Not vegan, but pescetarian, so vaguely similar.

I personally like vegan meat replacements because I just miss meat. Some people also want to fit in, and not abstain from a tradition because of dietary preference. Meat is a pretty big part of culture, at least here in the U.S., with burgers, Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas ham, July 4th hotdogs, etc.

Additionally, the same arguement could be applied in the other direction. Some traditional meats from various places on earth are spiders, scorpions, Greenland shark, puffin, guinea pig, horse, and seal meat. These aren’t popular in the U.S., for instance, for various reasons. Most notably for this thread is that these, with some exceptions, would be hard to scale, especially for the demand of them here.

While I would like to try more exotic foods, they’re not that easy to come across.

There is the factory seconds stock, which is cheaper, but RAM, storage, Wi-Fi card, power brick and expansion cards are sold separately. https://frame.work/products/factory-seconds-framework-laptop-13-diy-edition-11th-gen-intel-core Still over your price range though.

I was wondering where the dankpods would be

Iirc it was the mobile browser not blocking Microsoft trackers. Lemme check

Edit: can confirm, it was not blocking MS trackers, seems to have been due to legal terms. Link: https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/05/duckduckgo-microsoft-tracking-scripts/

In my eyes that makes it even worse

Some things I felt I should mention:

Firstly and most comically: Some sauropods swallowed rocks to aid in digestion, which are called gastroliths. While I only know of diplodocoids (think long and low sauropods) having used gastroliths, Brachiosaurus and other macronarians (tall sauropods, as seen in the picture) might have used them, although I’m not certain on that, as there is some differences in diet between diplodocoids and macronarians. If so, their vomit might have been even more dangerous, although the gastroliths are stored in their own organ iirc. (Just looked it up, there is gastroliths found that probably came from Cedarosaurus, which is a macronarian that was pretty closely related to Brachiosaurus, link: https://fr.copernicus.org/articles/18/1/2015/fr-18-1-2015.pdf)

Secondly and most nitpicky: The picture shows fairly large dromaeosaurs, which don’t have a record of existing in the Late Jurassic when Brachiosaurus existed. Now, the fossil record is very incomplete, with one estimate putting the known number of Tyrannosaurus rex specimens at about one billionth of the amount that lived over the 3 million years that species was present. But there are no dromaeosaurs that I know of from the Late Jurassic, let alone the Morrison Formation where Brachiosaurus is found, which is one of the best fossil sites for dinosaurs. It isn’t impossible, the split between bird and dromaeosaurs was before the Late Jurassic, but it is highly unlikely, especially in the Morrison, as there were a bunch of predators that would have competed with a large dromaeosaur. Again, this last one is very nitpick-y. Still a funny image though

Just looked into it. If that closed source bit only has GUI stuff and has no tracking bits, which is what they claim, then it is probably alright. They mentioned something about community deobfuscation for theming based modding being alright with them (Which is really excellent! Props to the Vivaldi team for outright saying it’s chill to technically break their TOS for customization), so if the GUI code has been fully deobfuscated and no tracking things found in it I would probably trust it more than Brave.

Honestly, I don’t have a huge problem personally with closed source if I know it doesn’t have tracking stuff, but unfortunately companies have lots of incentive to lie and mislead about that.

If Chrome didn’t have a monopoly, and if I knew they didn’t have tracking stuff, I would very strongly consider switching from Firefox, because in my limited experience trying Vivaldi a while back, it is really great, and I love how customizable it is.

Opabinia my beloved <3

Vivaldi is closed source though, so I personally distrust it more than I distrust Brave.

If Vivaldi was FOSS then that might change things, but it isn’t.

ETA: I felt I should mention I am a bit of a hypocrite here as my preferred Lemmy client (Boost) isn’t FOSS, but I am too used to Boost when I still used Reddit, so any other client just doesn’t feel right.

Wait, lemmy allows editing of titles?

Technically Lepidodendron wasn’t a tree, it was a fern. A fern that had bark and grew to 100 feet tall, but a fern nonetheless.
