What's Janeway going to do when she learns mitrocondria was once a separate organism from our cells?

I've got no idea how much the Vegan Society (or other orgs) charges for certification. As you said, plenty of other labels/logos they can use.

I do occasionally see reports of companies labeling a product as vegan when it isn't. Usually from someone not understanding what vegan means (like honey). But those are pretty rare in the grand scheme of things.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how good a case someone would have for misleading claims without any legal definition on what "Vegan" means.

I wouldn't be surprised if they made a torrent for it. They probably want a simple download button for the less technically inclined too.

The Vegan Society does do certifications for products which will let you use their logo. I'm not aware of any laws which would stop you from calling a product vegan without that certification, just can't use their logo for it.

I can't remember if it was the EU or ISO which was working on a standard to classify a product as vegan in the past couple of years. Though the last news I heard about it was that it was being led by agricultural lobby rather than animal rights activists.

You might get something harder after that. But there's a reason one of the most common code interview questions is FizzBuzz. There's a shocking number of applicants that can't do it.

I'm not sure if their app does it. But the gluten docker container supports their port forwarding. Works really well if you're looking to route other containers through a VPN.

This is what I do as well and it's been working great for me.

Yeah, it's possible to get it to work with password managers. I believe it has to do with ensuring the password field still exists on the page when the username is shown.

This is what I've done too. I've tried a bunch of other keyboards from F-Droid, but haven't been 100% happy with any of them. So I'm using GBoard still with all network permissions disabled.

Yes, the transcoding is done on the fly automatically. Plex automatically transcodes any media that the client doesn't natively support. Turning on burned in subtitles forces it to transcode to add them in.

You should be able to do this. I don't know if the first gen Chromecast supports native subtitles. But even if it doesn't, Plex has the option to burn the subtitles right into the video. It places some extra load on the server as it needs to transcode the video, but it pretty much guarantees compatibility.
