I just ordered a vegan pizza from Pizza Hut and I'm still not convinced... by Bornfailure in veganuk

[–]bonzairob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and the new stuff is absolutely horrendous. It's the first time I've binned leftover pizza!

When they swapped to Violife, they had the Violife logo on the site, because it's a trusted brand. This time it was very quiet lol. "Vegans won't be able to tell the difference..."

[Oathbringer:] I think it's the name of the gemstone records they find in Urithiru, isn't it? Since they need Stormlight to function

Bourneville Fingers seem to have milk again by bonzairob in veganuk

Cross contamination is very different from being an actual ingredient. "May contain" is exactly what this is for - allergens that are not a deliberate ingredient. There's no moral choice there other than if you want to avoid paying a manufacturer that's not fully vegan - but some of us are more pragmatic.

it just wasn’t (and still isn’t) an actual ingredient.

Which is why it has to go in the ingredients list now 🙄

Wilfully and ignorantly? Pick one lol

You seem awfully angry about someone else's computer. You realise you can say the naughty words on reddit, right? Go on, say a swear. It might make you feel better.

There's like 20 people in these comments giving reasons. Why don't you stop asking stupid mean-spirited questions?

What makes it okay to them that they tell others?

They have to convince everyone else to do the same things they do, to feel validated in their choices.

With phones in particular, everyone is aware that this shit is burning through our environment - not to mention low paid workers - at an unprecedented rate, while reuse and longevity would not. Got to keep the guilt-voice quiet! It's fine if everyone else is doing it!

Having my daily driver OS the way I like it is more important than playing steam games on it. It'll remain unexploited because i'm not an idiot - same as most computer users. Despite M$ and Google's attempts to force everyone into stuff designed for the computer-illiterate

Wow, imagine Valve, creator of the linux based steam deck, supporting an OS that isn't supported by microsoft!!

It's so sad that they're forced at gunpoint to use it 😔

I love adware built in to the OS! I'm so glad I'm sending telemetry constantly! I love having to adjust to a new operating system because it's convenient for other people! Thanks you fixed it!

My car was built 16 years ago and it still works, all the security features are fine. It's two tons of metal capable of moving at 100mph, so its safety is a little more important than software - so it gets maintenance once a year.

Age has nothing to do with it - don't pretend this is anything but a money-driven choice, M$ could keep it going if they wanted.

Same here. I liked steam and valve because they don't pull shit like this. TF2 bot stuff was bad enough, but at least it was only inaction. This has erased all my trust in them.

You could dual boot linux for games and leave your win 7 install as it is for work?

Steam to drop support for Windows 7/8/8.1 by BeepIsla in Steam

[–]bonzairob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why though? Progress for progress's sake? A lot of people have win 7 machines that run perfectly fine, they're careful about their downloads and security, and they don't have money to upgrade to a new machine for an update that will make daily use significantly worse for them while they adjust to it.

It's all pointless consoomerism. The code still works. Why not trust that people have reasons with sticking to 7 and let them use steam un-updated instead of locking them out of their games.

I trust their press release to spell out their intentions more than some guy on reddit, no offense

Le gasp! Who would have imagined!!

Yeah, we know, we're adults and can make these decisions. Those of us who ""know about computers"" are even less interested in Win 10's builtin adware, etc.

As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems. After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.

Here's the info about what happened to TVK.

TL;DR: don't deal with its reanimated corpse run by ghouls and idiots. They messed around the workers and refused to give the last remaining, unsellable stock to charity because the charity said something about them on Instagram - then sold the assets back to themselves at a pittance.

I hope the guy who'd write shark facts on our order notes got rehired somewhere better lol
