Hi! Great post, good research with sources, great initiative, thank you. 🙏

So, OK, I'm willing to learn: please show me good brands then.

They need to resist to mud (thick mud, the kind with a ton of suction that will keep your soles when you try and move), seawater, rocks and sand, and pretty dense vegetation.

They also need to have steel toe caps, good soles (vibram or equivalent if possible) that don't slip, and that aren't too hard (wet stone is enough of a female dog as it is), and to go higher than my ankle.

The best brand I tried so far was caterpillar, but they lasted only 3 years. That's a far cry from "a decade or more".

Exactly. Nah, we just gotta have man made monoculture everywhere, or a desert, right? So that, in the end, it just amounts to deserts anyway. Yay. 😶

Yeah so, the amount of meals is correct. But that's about it. I mean, I can't say about the taste, to each their own, but one kg of cow meat needs two dozen kg of grain.

That's about as inefficient as it gets.

As for the leather, the industry doesn't like products that last a decade, so it isn't actually using the leather in such a way. Industrial leather boots last a year tops.

Finally, pet food is made out of discarded cuts of meat, the uglies, etc. But also lots of cereals, and vegetables.

So we could really afford eating less meat. It isn't good for anything. Not for us, not for the other species (certainly not for the cows, that get often half assed butchered in a hasty way because of quotas and profit), and absolutely not for the ecosystem.

But I guess the taste is all that matters.

If you need to provide tools that cross security boundaries then [...] a small web app is better [than sudo].

A web app? Effin really!!? 🤨

Thanks.

It is one of the most private implementations of AI that I've seen though.

Based on what information/criteria?

It turns out that "Women Who Code Closing - Women Who Code" actually isn't about Women that code a software called "Closing", and Women that code in general.

In fact, what they meant to write was:

The End of an Era: "Women Who Code" Closing – Women Who Code.

I know I'm gonna get downvoted for this, but punctuation matters, and sadly, it has to be said. So here I go.

This is the way. And I might add, Unix desktop. Let's not start bikeshedding between FOSS Unix distributions out of dogmatic reasons (I'm sure you didn't mean to specifically single out "Linux" here, but I wish we would stop opposing "Linux" and other Unixes like BSD, Illumos, etc).

The point is, voting with your data for software that is defending your interests, and respecting your rights.

Edit: Dang, I didn't expect to get so much slack for "Unix as opposed to Unix-Like". I absolutely meant "Unix-Like", but my point is that it shouldn't matter. Most software is trying to be compatible, these days, and Linux isn't (in spite of all that marketing material) an OS. It is a kernel. So semantics for semantics, can it even be compared to something it is not? I merely tried to be inclusive.

Maybe they mean it in the sense of "forgery". You know, as in "let people imagine what it is like to have friendships, by letting them make forgeries of their lives, but with friends in it" 🤪

Fuck yea!

I think we can all agree on that... But without the entire article, one can only parametrise their answer... I was hoping someone with a full version could do an HTML dump. 😅

Or at the very least a markdown dump in here.
