Why are comments like "use Firefox" okay on Lemmy while "go vegan" is getting downvoted?
1y 11mon ago in asklemmy@lemmy.mlOf course I had a few assumptions before but I asked as some form of discussion to see if I am wrong. Some people had good explanations and I upvoted them, even though I don't agree.
With this objectivity thing: I was just pointing out that there is a HUGE difference between ethics and morality. So most vegans I know draw conclusions from general concepts (e.g. life itself has some value so killing is bad in general) but I do think other people might draw other conclusions from these or other concepts (and I want to argue with them about their conclusions) so it's not about being objectively right at all.
Most people going vegan are doing this for ethical reasons, which is the opposite of subjective morality, since the entire point of ethics is, that it does not allow subjective morality.
My point is, that everything about veganism on Lemmy (even in vegan communities) keeps getting downvoted for "too preachy", even though it often just points out facts, while the same people are literally preaching the Word Of Richard Stallman.
You're right but in my experience on Lemmy so far, it need way more for Firefox or Linux comments to be considered preachy while pointing out facts like "producing meat leads to animal abuse" is considered too preachy.
I'm not really biased in this since I'm biased towards both equally. Just wondering why everything mentioning veganism in any way on Lemmy (like this post) keeps getting downvoted.
Not really obvious to me. I'm bashing corporate brands as a "morally driven life choice" as well.
Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it?
2y 14d ago in privacy@lemmy.mlSo you manage your own encryption keys for cloud files? Thats pretty much the only way and even then you have to trust Apple because it's closed source.
They have full control over your device. It's the same for Whatsapps encryption, where Facebook can still access everything on your decrypted client.
Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?
2y 1mon ago in nostupidquestionsAfter a few years of philosophy in university, I think it's like software development. You can always go to a lower level but doing so won't bring you forward in most cases. You can ask these meta questions on every single argument but there are no satisfying results. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's fun :D

2y 1mon ago in lemmyshitpostThing is, most people WOULD CARE if I treat a dog, cat, or any other cute animal the same way as dairy/meat industry does. Why doesn't the "as long as you keep it to yourself" argument count in this case (might not be for you but for most people)?
It's about philosophy/ethics and not religion.
It's more about ethics than morality. You agree that violence is a bad thing? Good. So there is no reason these rules don't apply to animals, since many of them can feel in a similar way humans do.
Microsoft: Introducing Sudo for Windows

Chances are never zero that that there is an outdated MS product with the same name of what you're searching.
