Basically what @meekah@lemmy.world said: the idea is to be practicable. Here’s a stream of disconnected thoughts about this:

• What you pointed out is actually consistent with how a disproportionate amount of vegans are staunchly anticapitalist.
• A cut-and-dry example of someone who’s still vegan but eats animal products based on “practicable” is someone whose prescription medication contains gelatin with no other pill type; vegans aren’t going to say “lol ok too bad bozo you’re not vegan anymore”.
• The core focus of veganism has traditionally been non-human animals with the idea that a reduction of cruelty and exploitation toward humans is, at most, peripheral. This is changing in my opinion, especially when questions like “vegan Linux distro” don’t involve animals short of what the devs eat.
• Based on what you say (as someone else pointed out), a distro based solely on FLOSS would probably be regarded as “the most vegan” if that were ever measured by anyone (it never would be).
• It’s a weird analogy, but after you’re done using and purchasing products derived from animals, what’s “practicable” from there is kind of like a vegan post-game. Many vegans, for example, won’t eat palm oil because of how horribly destructive it is to wildlife.
• Growing all your own food is in that post-game area of “practicable”. It’s up to you to decide if that’s practicable for you. It’s up to you to implement that if you think it is or, if it’s not, to maybe think about how else you can reduce harm with how you buy vegetables. It’s up to you if you want to share that idea and help other people implement it themselves. It’s widely accepted that it’s not up to you to determine if it’s practicable for others.

The original Wired article is a substantially better source than the IBT, which is slop that owns the likes of Newsweek and the Latin Times. On Wikipedia, we avoid citing it wherever possible.

I would say that most vegans, even if they’ve never heard it, at least approximately follow the Vegan Society’s famous definition:

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Striking the parts that seem irrelevant to this specific question:

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for […] any […] purpose […]

Keep in mind that “animals” in that first part is widely treated as “humans and non-human animals”. So you would have to decide 1) to what extent cruelty was inflicted to create the distro, 2) to what extent people and non-human animals were exploited to create the distro, and 3) if there exist practicable alternatives that meaningfully reduce (1) and (2).

Thanks, OP!

This looks really neat! Are there any updates, given this render was from almost three years ago?

Just bend and glue them to make a toroidal sandwich.

A spherical sandwich would just be a 3-ball of air surrounded by a 2-sphere with the following layers: bread (inner), contents (middle), bread (outer). You could also have a 3-sphere sandwich – homeomorphic to a calzone which has a little 3-ball of bread in its center.

she’d actually do what she intends

She already did what she intended. Donald Trump made it into office in 2016.

I’ll allow this weird leopard ouroboros. She seems to sincerely believe in American isolationism bullshit, so I can buy the logic that she’s feeling pretty betrayed in a way she obviously should’ve expected. The only thing I’d ask in the future in keeping with Rule 3 is to use a source not owned by IBT. It’s just slop. The Associated Press has a pretty good article, for example.

• This is a “leopards ate my face” community, not a “Trump bad” community or even an “American politics” community.
• This doesn’t explain how e.g. Eric Adams got his face eaten. Absent other context, “getting your face eaten” isn’t just “not getting a job in the administration”. Even assuming it is, was Adams even looking for a job, and if so, why am I supposed to know that?
• Even if I’m supposed to be particularly informed, Lemmy is a global social media network, and even then, plenty of American readers probably couldn’t name these people.

OP, you linked to the comments instead of the top of the article. 💀

Aren’t you that smarmy, confidently incorrect asshat that recently got clowned on by like seven Germans?

I’m not agreeing with their dumb point, but just pointing out: this satellite works on radar. I’m genuinely concerned how many people seem to be commenting without reading the article.

I don’t know why you’re assuming their ‘/s’ is alluding to sarcasm around this being surveillance versus sarcasm around needing more surveillance. “We need more surveillance (we actually don’t)” seems to be indicated here, not “This is surveillance (it actually isn’t)”.

Especially when Reddit types are notoriously, chronically unable to read articles before they go spouting uninformed bullshit in the comments.

Did you read the part where this is a radar satellite designed for monitoring the climate? That is, did you read anything besides the headline before you decided: “Yeah, I think I’m able to make informed commentary about this”?

A few additional fun points about this:

• “Crab” is Germanic.
• “-ification” itself has its roots in Latin, so even your proposal would be “Latinised”.
• "carcino- comes from Ancient Greek.
• True crabs’ scientific name, “Brachyura”, is Neo-Latin derived from Ancient Greek.

I think the meme is funny too, but it seems like it’s becoming so divorced from its original context that some people actually believe that carcinisation is some kind of ideal endpoint of evolution. Just to clarify: this isn’t true given how few, localized actual examples there are and the tradeoffs involved.

This is true, but it’s undeniably relevant to this community. By 2024, you definitely have to have known this is what Trump wanted, but even disregarding that:

Garcia was last year expelled by the World Boxing Council for using racial slurs during a livestream. He’s also come under fire for anti-LGBTQ remarks.

Absent other evidence, this clown is just mad that the leopards are eating the wrong people’s faces.
