Is this a joke? If not what would be the point of this, seriously? Reminds me of drones writing the name of a Pharmaceutical product into the blue sky of Toronto, a few years back.

I have my dofiles script on github that I run on remote machines I frequently connect to and it installs zsh with my .zshrc, .bashrc in case I switch to bash and all the other dotfiles I got accustomed to. It has been definitely worth the extra trouble. Of course I still use bash for scripting and zsh is not really in the way.

I was just saying this to someone. ~4% Control ~95% of all bitcoin. Could anyone explain to me how this is acceptable? Why buy a currency that is worthless without electricity and where the wealth is so unevenly distributed? I’m curious. To me that’s already two good reasons to stay away. Am I missing something?

I've been with apple since 1995, but it seems to me that the fruit has been rotting from the inside out for some time now and it is starting to become very obvious. I hope they get their act together, because a real alternative that "just works" does not yet exist.

Nice. Now I'd love to see Lenovo offer Thinkpads with a factory disabled Intel ME.

Seems to be a bug. You set a password, get told that it could not be set, but then just ignore that dialog because it turns out to be set.

I can assure you that the highly processed health foods I ate back then, were not loaded with sugar, because I consciously tried to eat as little sugar as necessary.

You are quick to judge, calling me a "paranoiac" that doesn not know what he's talking about, based on a handful of sentences I wrote. I studied nutrition and I have experienced my body on many different diets. What I can say for myself, is that there is one important factor, that matters way more than the food taken in.

> Instead of trying to replicate an omnivorous diet by substituting all the meat you ate with substitutes, you should try branching out into an actual primarily vegetarian diet instead. Instead of substitute beef in your hamburger, try a portobello mushroom instead.

Ehm. So you are writing this as a response to me saying, that replicating an omnivorous diet with some secret mixture which resembles real meat so closely that it is difficult to distinguish from it, might be a bad idea? Maybe should have told me 10 years ago when it mattered and not after I just said the same thing.

No, nothing other than my personal experience (and of my partner) while eating a vegetarian and later exclusively vegan diet for almost 2 years. We ate a lot of fake foods, highly processed "health foods", most of them soy based and looking back at that time I can't say that we felt very good and healthy.

I believe we, as humans, do best with foods, which ingredients we can pronounce and source ourselves and put together without a lab and complicated checmical processes.

If you are ok with consuming foods of questionable "nature" because nobody could yet prove to you that they can be bad for human health, go for it. But I am going with my guts here, because that works for me.

Great. So someone figured out how to make a product that looks like and tastes like meat, and it likely is hydrolized soy protein with a nice mixture of artificial flavors and colors. Yeah, why not harm humans instead of animals.

I think a better approach to the problems that come with our “out of control meat consumption” is to drastically reduce meat consumption and eat it consciously. Much better than getting lost in the artificial flavors of frankenfoods .. No one really needs to eat meat more than once or twice a week.

So I reset my forgotten password with this method and now cannot set a new password. Every time I get

> The password you entered to protect your iPhone backup could not be set. Please try again.

What happens then is: the password i set is actually active, becuse to back up i have to enter that password - but as soon as i unplug the iPhone and plug it back in, I can/have to set e new password.

I updated iTunes to the newest version, restarted the iPhone, reset the iPhone settings multiple times, but I cannot encrypt the backup anymore. Weird.

edit: (the solutions to this problem that google offers did not solve the problem)
