The first time anybody on your instance searches for a separate lemmy community, your Lemmy instance reaches out for the other community and learns that it exists. After that point it shows up in searches and after one person subscribes it appears in your instance’s All feed.
It’s really hard to know if any particular animal feels pain. There are also hundreds of kinds of jellyfish with a variety of levels of intelligence. Some vegans would tell you that just because the nature of their intelligence is alien to us doesn’t mean it’s less valuable. Personally I find it difficult to empathize with any creature that lacks a brain, especially plants.
Kind of unrelated but squids are often extremely intelligent, and are definitely not vegan in my book.
I like the idea of a locally stored and locally encrypted password manager because when your passwords are on somebody else’s server with 10s of thousands of other people, that server becomes an attractive target for hacks. Who would bother hacking my computer just for one set of passwords?
But with something hosted, they do (probably, do your research) have professional security experts working to protect their database.
Typically you steam milk to create microbubbles for texture. Those bubbles usually collapse when made in water (they mention its an Americano-type drink) very quickly. So I’m not really sure what it would do.
Then again, plant milk is just “water with stuff dissolved in it” same as espresso or watered down espresso so maybe it keeps the texture for long enough to drink it.
Have you actually tried using a cylinder type one like that? The absence of texture to grip or bumps make it unpleasant to grasp in my opinion.
I think probably not, because the concentrations of salt and sugar aren’t just relative to each other but also relative to the water content. You can eat trail mix, cookies with added sodium, something like this, or a homemade version to replenish carbs + sodium after strenuous workouts, but you will still need to drink water as well.
I’ve had good luck with the For Dummies series but those are more like tutorial books and make sure it isn’t an out of date edition.
Edit: Also check out simple English wikipedia for short summaries that never use jargon unless it’s defined.
I’m more certain about the first search part.
