> We're literally growing food to feed to animals that we bred ourselves, while losing ~90% of the calories in the process instead of eating crops directly when meat isn't required to be healthy.
Most animal feed is the byproduct of things we are not eating[1]. This same study also address the land use concern. Most of it is not fit to grow crops with. I agree that people should reduce meat consumption but I find the general framing around this topic to be dishonest.
If I recall this is written by 1 guy in Japan. Tried it a while back and it was very nice although I wouldn't subscribe at that price I tried it at and would rather just buy Sublime. Seems it went down from $10ish to $5 which is more reasonable. The dev also maintains a blog that I find pretty neat https://blog.inkdrop.app/
Anyone who knows anything about Casey Muratori knows that nice and humble are not usually words associated with him. That is not to say the devs he is calling out are in the right. Frankly, I just see a bunch of combative assholes arguing with each other.
The problem with making cities green, like the problem with everything else, is terrible city design. There is quite a bit of greenery where I live and it is all anxiety inducing because it is planted near intersections and cutting off line of sight so you can't see pedestrians well or oncoming traffic. There are certain areas that have these wonderful bushes, too bad they opted for those bushes instead of sidewalks but hey, who cares about pedestrians am I right?
Not only is the product better, manga scanlators have a "code of honor." If a manga is licensed in English they will typically drop the manga no longer scanlating because there is now a provider in English. Of course, not all of them do this but more often than not it is adhered to.
> NOTE: I do use an Android phone --- but only after it has been thoroughly de-Googled --- starting from a stripped down, bare metal device that won't even power up.
You're going to have to explain to me. Particularly the "starting from a stripped down, bare metal device that won't even power up. Because this sounds excessive and a bit over the top.
I agree with the general idea here but there are some opinions here I can't get behind.
> Individuals blessed with high degrees of industriousness and orderliness will build sophisticated media diets, note-taking systems, and automated archiving pipelines much more effectively than those less blessed with these traits.
I can tell you by nature I am not a smart organized person but implementing certain systems in my life has made this easier. I don't think what I'm saying necessarily contradicts this quote but this quote seems like it is reducing the argument to "the haves and have nots."
