You do realize products somewhere else aren't magically cheaper? That the transport actually adds to the cost?

The reason these products are cheaper is because you rely to abusing others.

And no, abuse of others is not necessary. But yes, you would not be able to live as decadent of a lifestyle if you had to have even close to as little wealth as the people whose poverty you abuse.

The CO2 per capita produced in China is significantly less than the CO2 per capita produced in most first world countries.

Even if an average first world person decides to eat no meat at all, they're still gonna cause more CO2 emission than an average chinese person.

This isn't to be blamed on China.

So you're saying that you are not willing to pay the price for products made in climate and worker friendly conditions.

Most people aren't and since "the little people" want harmful products, companies produce harmful products.

It is "the little people"'s fault. The corporations would offer climate and worker friendly products, if people bought them.

But the little people choose not to.

I never noticed that issue. Do you have hardware acceleration and Wayland mode (if applicable) enabled?

We should only make beating others illegal once we successfully prevented all murder

I see a lot of potential in Lapce, but sadly the extensions (which are necessary, since it has basically no ootb language support) are very poorly maintained and outdated. Last I used it the Javascript/Typescript support was simply not sufficient for active use. I am very hopeful for Lapce's future though!

Edit: Just checked and the TS/JS extension is still on version 2022.11.0. The code formatting still doesn't work (for me) :(

GrapheneOS Apps

Would you not call Ubuntu a different OS than Debian? And if you do, would you find it unreasonable to say that Ubuntu offers Debian app compatibility?

GrapheneOS and stock Android have a similar relationship.

The reason people advocate for GrapheneOS is that it's a good OS.

Everyone can choose their own moral values.

In my morale (and in the morale of many others) all humans are of equal value. I won't claim to always act 100% morally. But the morale thing would always be to deem all humans equal.

That is the basis on why discrimination is considered bad. All humans are equal, simple as that.

Do you know why it is not the same for animals? Because animals are not all equal. You just confirmed, you don't care about flies. You don't deem flies equal. You don't deem all animals equal.

So why do you deem the adult pig equal to the three years old child? Because of its mental capacity?

My (and many others') morale does not make someone's value dependant on their mental capacities.

A human with higher mental capacity is not of more value than a human with lower mental capacity.

I will repeat myself again: All humans are equal.

By making this distinction, you apparently deem a human with less mental capacity as of lesser value.

That is horrible. Your morale is horrible.

All humans are equal. Not all animals are.

All humans are of equal value.

Not all animals are of equal value. A cow is not of the same value as a fly and a fly is not the same value as a human.

Would you deem someone who swats a fly equal to a murderer? Probably not. Because the value of flies, if any, is irrelevant.

All humans, including vegans, deem animals as of lesser value.

You will never protect a fly to the same level that you protect a human.

There's a distinction to be made, and to deem only humans to be of value, is one such distinction.
