    This is not a proper dichotomy as organic isn’t about level of processing, it deals with farming conditions and species.

    Also processing a spectrum. For example a smoothie and juice are both processed fruit but the smoothie has everything that the whole foods have in it while the juice is missing some of the nutrients, notably the fiber. If you then add refined sugar to that juice to make it more palatable that is further processing, and if you reduce that juice to a jelly that is further processing, with each of these processing stages you are making the food more calorically dense. Processing can also make a food easier to eat or improve the nutrition though, processing isn’t inherently a good or bad thing but it very often is one of those.









  • PNG is fine for this. A palletized PNG on max compression would be smaller than the game and totally lossless unlike this. First you gotta take this image and map/quantize it to the original palette though to destroy the JPEG artifacts, which produce colors in between ones that would have existed in the game’s output.



  • You’re implying that you would have been a customer. Maybe they lose some current customers off such tactics but if their stuff is being reposted everywhere a lot more people are s hearing about the existence of the service who have never heard of it before, and some of those will be new customers. Obviously many will find it distasteful, but most weren’t customers in the first place.

    Workers who ignore personal responsibility towards the environment currently, won’t suddenly all start caring as soon as a successful workers revolution takes place. And the workers are unlikely to vote to cutback devastating industrial practices if their lifestyle is now even more closely tied to the success of their industry. Furthermore, the workers who are used to being nihilistic consumers, can now live more lavish and destructive lifestyles, promoting further industry.

    I’m a commie, and I’m not anti industry either, but it is incredibly important that we cultivate a sense of responsibility to the planet, not just our comrades. We can’t simply rely on the dream of luxury space communism to save us, if we do we are no better than the technocrats who have a policy of break now and fix later.
