Why are comments like "use Firefox" okay on Lemmy while "go vegan" is getting downvoted?
  • This is not exclusive to Lemmy, this happens the same way in real life - when you critique their food choice people tend to get in the defensive. This happens whether it's about their health, ecology or ethics and of course it gets worse when you are implying that their choices hurt others.

    Of course this is not exclusive to food. Everything that is seen as part of your identity leads to this defensive reaction (see politics, sports teams etc.) and they double down on their current stance. I bet vegans would be a LOT more successful if they would be more empathetic toward non-vegans and would approach this topic more tactically.

  • why do pharmacies have these signs with whacky animations?
  • Can't really contribute as in Germany most pharmacy signs are pretty static and look kind of like this: https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2014/06/30/20/59/pharmacy-380780_640.jpg

    But I also wonder why there's so many pharmacies in France. In almost any city I've been to it's hard to not have a green flashing cross in sight.

  • ‘Crime is out of hand’: how young people turned to far right in east German city
  • Because they're manipulated? Because they like easy solutions to complex problems? Because they like to close their eyes and imagine that every can stay the same? Because neoliberal and conservative politicians fucked the lower and middle class while blaming the left (who for the most part weren't even in power) and immigrants? Because German education has neglected teaching critical thinking skills and streamline education to just provide economic value?

    Time and time again anti-immigrant tendencies are highest in areas with the lowest amount of immigrants (see the east of Germany). It's just easy to hate people you don't know...

  • Majority of Americans and Europeans support ending the war in Ukraine
  • The results seem not to be very helpful: Sure I'm also for a negotiated peace in Ukraine as long as the pre 2014 borders are restored and reparations are paid. But how would you differentiate that from a Putin apologist?

  • Landwirte kämpfen gegen Schnecken - Viele Pflanzen zerfressen
  • Ich versteh es ja echt nicht. Alle paar Wochen haben Landwirte wieder Existenzangst vor Problemen die entweder durch den Klimawandel verursacht werden oder zumindest verschlimmert werden - was ja auch Sinn ergibt weil sie halt für ihre Arbeit direkt auf die Natur angewiesen sind - und trotzdem gibt es gefühlt keine Gruppe in der Gesellschaft die sich stärker wehrt Maßnahmen gegen den Klimawandel zu ergreifen...🙄

  • How do you make Linux more popular?
  • Hm it's probably "bundle with the hardware, make sure the hardware really works and there's a price incentive vs Windows".

    As long as you have to actively migrate (including backing up, losing access to several commercial apps) and could end up in the situation that your hardware isn't 100% working or you're workflow isn't really supported?

  • France imposes state of emergency, bans TikTok in riot-hit New Caledonia
  • From an outsiders view this seems like a really strange affairs. So immigrants living there for 25 years aren't allowed to vote in regional (?) elections so that the natives can easier secede which they didn't partly because they didn't participate in the vote? Or would this create the same backlash when tourned around and immigrants in France couldn't vote?
