I guess only the people at the London Times know.

“Dumbphones” are not inherently superior from a privacy perspective if they connect to cell towers. Standard calls and SMS are wide open to eavesdropping.

Not specific to Disroot, but since they are based in the Netherlands, you should be aware of Nine Eyes and always use end-to-end encryption. I know someone who avoids Disroot specifically but has not stated a reason for it… He uses envs.net though.

This one seems to be an exception, but you can judge that for yourself.

…This comment is far too real. This should be some dystopian horror story, not what’s actually happening all around me. I don’t know if anyone reading this has ever been curled up in bed at night listening to the chainsaws destroying the forest on all sides, or awoken to the smell of smoke and wondered if today would be the end, or watched a faerie die and not been able to do anything, but it SUCKS. If people don’t change their ways and put a stop to deforestation very soon, there may not be any enchanted forests left. And a world without faeries would not be a pleasant place.

That makes sense. Thanks. I’ll have a look at that list.

I do not want non-free firmware, such as for the ac/ax WiFi, installed on the device.

basically any other router

And what would make a particular model the exception to this?

If only I had a tummy like that. And could fly. Would I want a cloaca though? I’m not sure…

Is a fruitarian someone who only eats fruit?

Yes.

Do these people exist?

Yes, though not many of them as far as I know.

Do they have normal bathrooms?

Most probably poop outside or in a bucket, at least if their situation allows.

Upvoting for thought-provoking spoiler properly marked as spoiler.

Deforestation is part of it. With continued climate change, such drought or flood events will only get more and more frequent outside of the equatorial region, with the most severe adverse weather events expected between 30°N and 60°N. The ocean will buffer the UK a bit from temperature extremes, but the inherent seasonality of the climate will still result in large variations in both temperature and precipitation. The temperature of the Atlantic Ocean is a major influence as well.

a berry pie without any sugar but what’s already in the berries shouldn’t be too bad.

Wolves have been observed to subsist on almost exclusively blueberries during the height of the season in Yellowstone, so I’d say the glyphosate residue in the flour is much more of a risk than whatever fruit is in the middle.

THIS is the actual definition of Veganism, directly from the people who coined the term:

That definition is from 1988, so it’s questionable whether it came “directly from the people who coined the term” in 1944. Here is a re-publication of the 1951 Leslie Cross definition:

“The object of the Society shall be to end the exploitation of animals by man” and “The word veganism shall mean the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals.”

Allegedly someone read The World Peace Diet (by Will Tuttle) to Donald Watson on his deathbed, and Donald Watson said that the book encompassed everything that he intended when he founded the Vegan Society. Make of that what you will.

Convert the pasture lands to syntropic food forests and native forests, and then the birds and other native animals will have a place to live again.

Typed.

I did not know that. I had seen similar posts and thought that it was acceptable.

@hydra@lemmy.world, if you agree with jagged_circle, please remove this post.

Is that against the rules?
