    Genuine question, what benefits do you mean? On the health side - since I went vegan + aiming for whole food plant-based, I’ve been the healthiest I’ve ever been. I wasn’t even anticipating it, but I’ve lost a great amount of weight without trying and have more energy than ever. Definitely has cemented the switch as one of the best life decisions I’ve ever made.

    I think the book How Not To Die by Dr. Michael Greger explains really well why. It discusses how animal-derived foods straight up are not good for you nutritionally. It also explains the health benefits of various plant-based foods in preventing different illnesses and supporting your immune system. I recommend it.

    I didn’t say Linux isn’t better, I just said it’s definitely not easy enough for the average person.

    But either way, it being a better daily driver is specific to your workflow. What about gaming? Audio production work? Livestreaming? Office work with the standard applications? Nah, Windows is better for those at least because of the software availability. Be nuanced.






  • Right now I’m using Signal for people I personally know and Matrix for some big communities (it’s fine for that). I wouldn’t recommend Telegram because of privacy concerns, though it definitely does have the advantage of a large userbase. But I think Signal has a comparable UI/UX to Telegram so it’s worth making it work

    I daily drove Matrix for a while and honestly, the UI/UX isn’t so good. Signal is the only platform I can reasonably get people on, and it’s just a better user experience (stickers, nice look, fast messages, link previews, etc.).

    I’m honestly sick of people saying some alternatives are great for everyone when they still have work to do, you can’t even easily make encrypted groupchats on there. So much fragmentation, so little polish - still love the devs but like, be realistic
