Probably what led me to being vegan. I can't stand the hypocrisy of some animals deserving compassion and others not. I also work for a company in sustainability/energy transition, and the amount of people who "care" about sustainability and the environment and yet still drool when they see a steak is too high.

I'm vegan, btw.

Yes, but do you use Arch Linux?

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 2 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Na, I just use Bazzite currently. Have used zorin and Mint as my primary OS before, but haven't even tried arch. Could I interest you in our Lord and Savior, the bicycle, though?

Note: not the person you were asking.

Yeah, but my bicycle doesn't run Arch Linux.
Also, it doesn't have an arch, but is a more common, triangle based design.
