Them quoting Hayek and linking to a Bitcoin white paper is the cherry on top of this. Talk abt an immaterial worldview lmao

Hey one thing I noticed in your safe mobile operating systems section is that you recommend divestOS as an alternative to graphene. I have made the same recommendation for years, but if you aren’t aware that project actually shut down in December so it’s just gone now. A good recommendation that is still maintained is CalyxOS, which also supports bootloader locking after install (at least on pixels, they have caveats for fairphone devices). I haven’t had a chance to read all of your guide yet though, but other than this I’ve enjoyed the parts I’ve gotten to. Thanks for making it!

Rust is the future for this sort of systems programming work, and by failing to see that and accommodate its use both Linus and Hellwig are sabotaging the long term viability of the kernel imo. New devs are keen to jump on rust because of how much it does better than C/++ and how much easier it is to make safe and secure systems with it, but shit like this just demotivates that crowd and thins the pool of people who are willing to contribute going forward. We need memory safety by default, the task of kernel stability is only going to get more complex and unsustainable without it. Stop holding onto tradition and purity for the sake of it

Not really, except when I get nervous. Then I go from ‘generic East coast’ to ‘oh he’s a skee yee southern beau.’ Which I don’t understand cuz I sincerely don’t talk like that in my daily life lmao

This is not true. You may be thinking of the Secure Enclave, which Apple processors have had for a while and acts as a dedicated piece of silicon to protect encryption keys. But pixels have this too, idk about phones with Qualcomm or exynos SOCs but they likely have something similar. Either way it has no impact on battery life and all major smartphones have been capable of encryption for many years

So your body naturally creates certain oxygen containing molecules called free radicals. These are created in response to stress, immune response, and environmental stressors like UV light, radiation, and smoke. Free radicals are highly reactive as they lack a valence electron. Due to this reactivity they can damage molecules that make up your cells, including DNA, and lead to long term health issues. This is called oxidative stress. Antioxidants are molecules which have an extra electron and readily donate it to molecules that are lacking one, in this case the free radicals in your body. Their importance is in this function of reducing oxidative stress.

This is true unless you are RFK Jr, in which case go for it

Of course! Yeah nutritional yeast is something you just use like seasoning, I put it on tofu or beans or whatever. Has a savory flavor. It also keeps for a long time ime.

And most big box stores like walmart have at least a small selection of these things but in my country ass town the stocks on the shelves are limited. I usually have better luck at other grocery stores that I won’t name to not doxx myself lol

Also fuck cars, I couldn’t even walk to the nearest store if I wanted to here. I hope you stay safe on your journeys through the hostile infrastructure ✊

Most grocery stores sell vegan butter products, at least in my neck of the woods. Sometimes they are advertised as vegetable spread, sometimes they directly say vegan butter. But regardless of brand they exist and imo are very similar to animal butter in taste and texture

Since there is apparently a rule against recommending brands here I’m gonna be a little vague with some of this answer, but there are several egg alternatives I like. The easiest are the pre made vegan egg mixes, which are sold in grocery stores and are a yellow liquid sold near the animal eggs. These are made of mung beans and a bunch of seasonings, and they scramble up like chicken eggs. Very tasty and easy but a bit pricey.

An everyday alternative is making a tofu scramble. Tofu on its own has a mild flavor so it’s a canvas to season it how you want. Look up recipes if you want the most authentic eggy flavor, but I make mine with turmeric for color, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, and black salt (kala namak) which gives it the egg-like flavor. Pretty much just tear up the tofu, mix with those spices, then pan fry until it’s hot. Optionally mix in some water or stock if the texture is too dry.

If you want to get really crazy there are plenty of vegan recipes to recreate over easy eggs, shakshuka, all manner of egg dishes. But these are generally quite involved. I like watching Thee Burger Dude on YouTube who makes vegan versions of fast food, but also has good recipes for over easy eggs and similar staples.

I personally track my nutrition with a nutrition logging app that tells me all my micro- and macro-nutrients for the day. Just eating a normal diet with foods I like meets 90% of my dietary requirements, but tracking it like this has shown me when I have deficiencies in certain vitamins or when I get too much salt or fat etc. Recently I noticed I haven’t gotten enough vitamin K or A, so I started putting spinach in more of my meals and now all my vitamins are at least hitting my daily minimums.

One last quick vegan tip: nutritional yeast and plant milk make the world go round. My nutritional yeast brand gives me all my B vitamins, some fiber, and some protein in one serving and tastes delicious. My soy milk gives me calcium, protein, and vitamin D every morning. These are core staples to me nowadays

By default it has no Google services running. You can install them in a locked down sandbox if you want or need them, though. Read more here
