You are describing a different scenario to myself here though.

There is nothing wrong with helping to direct people to the manual of course if it is genuinely of use.

There are many who are not as friendly as you in my experience who use these queries more a flex of their perceived superiority than any genuine attempt to be helpful.

It is these people who view arch as some sort of elite status symbol that makes them superior geniuses that are toxic.

It can produce more savings sure in terms of electricity costs, but when including capital, solar is presently much more cost effective. In my area some 6.8kw panels have a four year ROI.

Without going into the details of the complete field of life-cycle assessment, this is not how co-products are assessed.

The leather industry position generally, is that leather is a byproduct, which would allow them to conveniently exclude all emissions and impacts prior to the slaughter and (some of the) torture of the cattle.

Leather though, is not a by-product but a co-product - this is well established. What this means is that it is so significant an income stream, that it is likely that many or even all of the cattle in a given group would not have been raised and slaughtered in the first place without both or multiple income streams coming from that slaughter. This is why LCA calculates the entire lifecycle of the cattle, and is the position adopted for leather by independent international sustainability groups and academia generally.

I'm curious what sized system you are putting in that costs that much.

An 8kw solar system usually costs a bit over $8k and at least in many areas seems to have a ROI of a bit over 6 years at most and often much less.

Mostly to learn about it's unique selling points.

I think it is very interesting in terms of the easy deployment of specific environments, and in terms of writing recipes for new packages.

Having said that, outside of these two rather niche areas for home use, I think it is rather unintuitive and offers no real advantages over more established players that offer a more polished experience, like Fedora for workstation and gaming use.

Is there something that attracts you to NixOS for that purpose?

I've got Nix OS running on one of my computers, and honestly, haven't found it to be particularly notable for those usecases.

What is your usecase?

This is the key question.

Even plastic is better for the environment than leather.

It is also false.

Studies and LCA analysis have revealed that leather products are far more damaging to the environment than even PU leather.

This is due to the enormous environmental impact of the cattle themselves, including land clearing, water use, direct emissions, etc.

While I don't mind BSDs, that would lead to even worse outcomes though in my view. Companies wouldn't even have to release the source code, and they routinely don't.

What we need is more copyleft to ensure companies contribute back to the communities they leach from, not less.

I don't think banning carnists is the solution.

I do think that rules similar to /r/vegan would help a lot.

I think another forum would be better for arguments against veganism, otherwise this forum will just get swamped with upvoted carnist answers to vegan or vegan-curious questions, or upvoted arguments against veganism. We will also routinely see the same fallacies over and over again.

Look at the recent discussion around the post of keto.

How would BSD help in this situation? I'm not sure I follow.
