      the annoying stereotype of vegans pushing their diet

      famous picture of the plane getting shot that illustrates survivorship bias

      Also, vegans actually do something good for the planet so thank your neighborly vegan next time instead of telling them a story about how you once met someone who was really pushy about veganism.

        Tbf yes. They do something good for the planet. But I wouldn’t say choosing a different OS isn’t good for the planet either. First, you aren’t supporting companies that will burn this planet down without a second thought for a few million dollars. Secondly there are a few things on Linux made to use less electricity than Windows AND the fact it can run on older computers just fine means that there is less of a need for constantly upgrading this creating less computer waste. (Which something I and many others advocate for and a very solid reason to use Linux) but also merely for the fact that it is by far more ethical in a multitude of ways…
