That they are made from heavily refined products such as pea protein as compared to non-processed foods like whole vegetables or minimally-processed like salads.

That, however, does not make them bad by itself - they are generally still healthier than other ultra-processed (junk) foods since they are not made to be addictive with a lot of salt, sugar, and fat.

So you mean vegetables? I eat vegan most of the time (but not “full vegan”) and I rarely eat the “alternatives” since there’s more than enough OG vegan food. I discovered Tempeh a few months ago and am now crazy about it - it has so much variety and I’ll be making it myself soon! No need to compare it with anything.

Also learning that tofu is already cooked has opened up a whole new culinary world for me. I love smoked tofu in a brine, but we also have “tofu rosso” which is marinated and has tomatoes and olives. Sorry for german, but check it out:

There’s more to a vegan diet than ultra-processed (not in a bad way) imitations. You can 100% eat only whole foods.

It’s not illegal but manufacturers are making it harder to impossible. That must be illegal.

It’s public, it’s handed off to everyone :)

As long as you can flash them, everything’s possible.

In that spirit: Fuck Apple to hell.

Corpos are generally inefficient.

You only need uBlock basically, beware of other extensions. They’re mostly snake oil and Firefox has anti-fingerprinting features per default.

Firefox has by default as well.

I think that we need to provide actual alternatives based on constructive discussion and learning instead of based on corporate profits. Institutions like the EU could develop and run something like that, especially with all the federated platforms.

Go read up on the Digital Markets Act, everything will be spelled out for you.

Do you really not grasp the fundamental difference in magnitude between controlling a store where a limited amount of media is sold versus a store for applications of everyday life for basically everyone?

Because Apple is a Gatekeeper. With their control over the entire operating system and which apps and firmware you’re allowed to install (“ecosystem”), they have a lot more economic power over other companies and people than Nintendo.

The Switch is a game console, smart phones are the portal to modern society.

Epic.

If the app works as a VPN as well, then that works. I was not aware that the DDG browser does that.

I did have the browser app a few months ago, but didn’t see any such functionality. Of course, by working as a VPN that works.

That’s not how it works. Apps cannot access the traffic of other apps, let alone decrypt it. There is no way DDG Browser does what you claim it does. They do not even claim that themselves.

EDIT: Unless, of course, it works as a VPN, which apparently it does.

Trump is pushing for peace talks

What the fuck is this reporting?!

Just by a few inches… If even that.

No, they’re completely right. Destructive, hateful opinions are not “just different opinions”, they are actively destroying and bastardizing the discussions and making people feel unwelcome. They are not to be tolerated unless you want all normal people to leave and only the assholes to stay, just like what is happening with Twitter.

Fuck nazis and their sympathizers.

As an Austrian, 100% this. SPÖ is the saving grace and the only reason that there is some semblance of social policies.
