Why impose human concepts of ethics onto animals that survive based on instinct? Humans are omnivores, and in places where we have access to Lemmy, we also have access to things like grocery stores and farmers markets. We don't need to eat animals to be healthy, nor do we need to eat any other animal products. We do so out of tradition, or familiarity, and then justify the horrible way we treat other life because we like the taste. Plant life having sensations isn't equivalent to the sensations that we know that animals have, and the suffering we know farming animals causes. And rather frankly, eating animals requires growing more plants and killing more plants than just eating the plants.

I mentioned specifically animals, and didn't feel the need to go into detail to why I feel that way. It doesn't feel like you're really commenting on good faith, so I'm not gonna respond any further than this.

Plants and minerals aren't conscious, don't have feelings and sense of self.

Animals don't exist for us to use. They aren't ours. Outside of survival scenarios, it's wrong to eat animals or take things like milk or eggs from animals. It's fucked up.

I'd like to know more specifics on those numbers. Because I Found that, for example, GTAV had a marketing budget of 70-110 million, so nowhere near the billion range even for large games. With a lot of popular games like BOTW selling over 35 million copies... I don't think the marketing cost is an issue.

Yes, but only accounting for inflation really doesn't tell the whole story compared to modern games. Games are primarily sold digitally now, meanwhile when OOT released all copies were physical cartridges - and that meant significantly higher cost of manufacturing and shipping. Also, games simply didn't sell nearly as many copies back then as they do now. Being totally real, games don't need to be more than $60 to turn a very very good profit.

YouTube doesn't care if you don't care. The more they show them to you the more likely they are to finally get you to watch them and they can make money off you. It's not like there's many alternatives to YouTube.

You might be surprised how many people do watch YouTube shorts. They force then on you because they make a lot of money off them.

Yeah, that's Debian for you. It can be really good depending on your use case - you're never going to have anything break up on an update since they don't update packages often. It can be an annoyance sometimes though.

Debian ships with older but stable packages. It won't provide you the latest version of your Nvidia drivers, you'd probably have to get them from Nvidias website yourself.

I don't buy any videogames new anymore, and pretty much never buy any unless it's on a very good sale. I've got a big enough backlog anyways I guess. I used to go out to some cheaper dine in restaurants but that had to be cut.
