Didn’t mean to lie. I thought it followed from context (I see now it didn’t) that I mean that most people do not care about the killing of different animals as much.

I was trying to open a discussion and maybe get a person or two to get to question some things. Don’t think that’s a good reason to be mean. And fwiw I still don’t understand WHY a person cares more about a dog than a pig.
You think that farm cattle exist as a wild animal?
Yet there’s no posts in my news feed about how they’re being fished, let alone comments from people upset about it. Maybe we should care more about all animals?
Man Id like to say some things in response of youd have acted like you’re open for a normal adult discussion, but I just can’t deal with this level of condescension. Please be nicer to people who did nothing to hurt you
Yet most don’t. Good on you if you do though.
Octopuses are much smarter and people eat those too.
Edit: can I just correct myself. I now think we shouldn’t use perceived intelligence as a measure of how much ethical consideration someone or something deserves, that gets reeeeally gross really fast
Not talking about the artificially created species, that’s a separate issue. More things like overfishing. And hunting of other species that are endangered but not as cute and lovable.
Can someone explain why people care more about this than the killing of other animals?
Since it has shareholders, the only way for it to stay in business is ever-increasing growth. Profit themselves aren’t enough. It needs to grow faster and faster so that dividends keep increasing, which is the goal.
For much of the internet, optimization used to mean improving usefulness and usability for end users. Now that we (as a society as well as individually) can’t go without the internet anymore, optimization means improving usefulness for shareholders and/or advertisers, to the detriment of the user. This doesn’t matter to them anymore though, since giving up on search engines, social media etc just isn’t an option for users anymore.
Currently lmao. I’m using those tools as well but some specific event generators I’m using are in Fortran still
There’s no distinct generations of either physicists or codes that all retire at the same time
I had to learn Fortran for my thesis because it’s the industry standard in particle physics
Not with code, but i write a lot of LaTeX and that often starts working on second compilation
Because that’s not true
They can be helpful if you view them light heartedly as anonymous support groups where you can vent real quick. Not as actual qualified resources.
Yes, I saw that elsewhere in the thread before I commented
Even if you cant be bothered to figure out gaming on Linux, a dual boot works like a charm. I do all my gaming on the windows partition to keep it separate from work, to avoid distraction.
