impossible to find? we even have suggestions from nutrition orgs. that moving to a plant based diet can save us billions of dollars because health will improve!
apart from health, we already know that plants are more efficient than meat by an order of magnitude, any day, any time & don't cite "places that we can't raise crops" because that doesn't cut our consumption rate... unless you are living at and like a rural Kazakhstan citizen.
there are 20,000 edibles plants so far, why do we need meat and cheese?
and i can't see much of a flame wars regarding this. the only people defending its practice are those using it.
bad science is everywhere and taking down conclusions by playing the victim of a flame wars is to support absurd practices. like the 21st century psychoanalysis (which couldn't prove itself better than placebo), homeopathy dissolving doses of medicine in bazillions of liters (seriously?) etc.
it feels that socially we are dumb enough (to not know even how to communicate) that less than 100 years ago we throw 2 nuclear bombs on human settlements, we made propaganda of cigarettes with Tour de France cyclists and so on.
~ 500 years ago we reached America rapping people and building churches to talk about heaven
the person execute a poor study on ecosystem, concludes that 40,000 elephants should be killed to maintain other organisms... and he shouldn't be target of aggression? who knows if their political and military involvement didn't took part on the government liberating that shit! the guy cares _so much_ about life/sustainability that still eat meat/cheese (like mammals other than humans are really primitive creatures) and has livestock under his belt
also, have you read the first link i send? his studies on land regeneration includes areas that were recovering after expelling livestock... this guy and his practice is a joke. not even entering into other sensible topics like animal welfare, production and efficiency of the kingdom plantae/fungi vs. animalia etc.
edit: i mean, sure, everyone makes mistakes. sometimes they cost an entire set of thousands of mammals but the problem is after that, trying to lure consumers into a practice that not even 50 years of research on the subject concluded anything relevant [0] (to the point that we can't even differentiate efficiency between the default way of letting cattle pasture vs. holistic management), shouldn't be other motif to rant?. caring for the environment should be a black and white resolution with the best tools we have right now. life is too precious to fuck just because you want a steak at your table... and we know, for a long time that going vegan is the best way! or at least stop this freaking modern consumerism of animal products.
seriously, how do you expect land regenerating by adding thousands of cattle on it? if you roam in Brazil, you can find almost deserts in vegetation that have RICH diversity like the Pantanal, just because livestock was managed there for +25 years! and then owners stop activity for a number of years (to let flora thrive) to later raise corn or soy, which is way less aggressive and with modern practices they (the farms) have lifespans (if well managed) predicted by biologists of almost 100 years. (i worked in one for a brief period of time)
the guy who proposed the "regenerative agriculture" movement always made big money from livestock and at some point even got in-between the government with a freaking study that concluded that they had to kill ~ 40,000 elephants (and they killed) for maintaining the health of the ecosystem.......... ⟨i think if we still made billiard balls out of elephants tusks, i wouldn't be surprised if that guy had a company that made them⟩

first thing that pops is a phrase of some biologist regards why evolution made plants green and not blue (physically, blue can absorb way more energy from the sun)... SPOILER: because makes the plantae organisms way more stable rather than performant (which opens up less windows for failings regards evolution).
i use Gimp for digital collages, dead simple pixel-art and even composing a poem book for my beloved one! and that tool if it isn't perfect for the job, is probably about adjusting expectations ¶ why society can't re-signify a offensive word?
we have Krita (i never used) too... Gimp with its core open (viva the GNU license)... who knows how a bunch of hackers doing stuff for free feel when some fancy hipster smelling proprietary apple juice appears suggesting UX re-write (just in case i didn't even read the blog) based on what the rotten industry ⟨most of the time, rot⟩ wants! --cheers to a more slow paced and thoughtful world, by the way
i think pie-menus also should add a keyboard navigation. for me they are more than just controlling stuff with the pointer (interesting mailing list read about what Apple came after a research around 30 million of USD on UX: https://www.asktog.com/TOI/toi06KeyboardVMouse1.html ※ SPOILER: the mouse wins), but, again, for me radial-menus are much more than using the pointer but rather a sweet visualization, too.
different keys on hold for different functions when selecting a pie-menu direction etc. the sky isn't the limit anymore -
also some thoughtful consideration where the mouse should be transported (if at all) when opening certain menus?
i'm tweaking with fly-pie (already got 2 menus that i use a lot [there's even a dedicated key when keyboard is at mouse-layer]) & i got the blender extension too...
i think there's so much potential to trackball gestures. have you thought about multiple commands at the same direction based on distance? (could be useful for setting the volume/brightness, for example)
Universal Search? Like F3 in Blender? Sure! just do it...
i studied for a year advertising and marketing degree at an university and i was at the best grades on photograph and any other class that required some creative stuff. all done in Gimp... i don't know how the late game is but certainly some company wanting the proprietary .blob of your work in Photoshop lang binaries exists. but i also think that if you are highly creative, there's so much to-do with simple tools
edit: not that Gimp can't do complex stuff but i remember clear sizing the boobs of a woman once at Photoshop and having some trouble on how-to with Gimp at home...
while i do agree mindless screen time on children is/may be damaging; i think there is a huge difference in using a tablet/laptop as a modern version of a notebook vs. using to watch Youtube Kids with Ads in between etc.
hmm… depends what you consider great. last time i checked companies you helped, one of them was Rappi.
they came to Brazil and basically destroyed the bicycle courier scene with anti-competitive practices on other companies just because they were rolling on money.
after them, it is pretty rare to see someone working with deliveries and bicycles… and they are more silent and ecological than any motor-cycle or car. and actually smart considering the amount of damage noise and pollution from motor does.
anyway, considering something great is a sensible topic. specially if you taking the amount of money made as a important factor.
maybe that is why the world is full of people digging CEOs status on top of zombie-like consumers that can not think for themselves
if swimming upstream is that hard (and i agree that decades of professional usage on a X layout is hard to give up); at least when teaching someone you could say something: “here is the layout you should use! i know mine is different and i can type typewriter with one row in case i want to impress someone but yours is better, like minor chances of getting a RSI and general efficiency when typing stuff…”
