πππ.. Critical thinker that challenges cognitive dissonance.
ππ congrats..great news.ππ
Yes. El Salvador has a great coffee culture (coffee shops with new equipment and mostly skilled baristas making good coffee). They grow Arabica coffee only. Hence, don't expect italian style/tasting coffee, which is a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans.

π have a great start into the week.
True. The only radomized studies are short term with a specific focus. Hence, these can't really conclude on all-cause mortality/longevity impact.
For this it would require to put similar people into a lab for a very long time/life-long.
This can be done and has been done with animals, which again, are not humans and hence results may not apply.
π great to hear. I'v been mostly carnivore with carbs from dairy and a bit of fruit some times.
Got healthier in general, more lean muscle mass, better digestion and sleep
I've come to the conclusion that diet is a spectrum. Evolutionarily, carbs were a rare treat as most plants are toxic (incl. oxalates, phytic acid, lectins etc).
Based on carbon analysis of human remains before the agricultural revolution (approx. >7-10k years ago) it has been shown that most food (if I'm not mistaken >60%) were animals. Besides these facts there are other observations that support the strong case of humans being carnivore such as anatomy of the gut (enzymatic digestion not fermentation digestion), small entestines make up most of the gut allowing for the digestion of lots of nutrition in a short time (unlike herbevores that graze all day), also brain development which has required and still does need lots of nutrients and energy.
There are no interventional trials that proof that meat has negative health effects or saturated fat is causal to cardivascular disease, not even a mechanism exists. Furthermore, no evidence for plants or a plant-based or even vegan diet to be superior, on the contrary. The nutrient profile of plants is proven to be significantly lower than animal foods, also driven by the plant toxins (anti-nutrients) that inhibit digestion and absorption of protein and especially minerals in the gut. There is just much more money to be made in plant-based foods because these are mostly refined and processed foods. Animal foods are much less processed or not at all.
Hence, my conclusion is that the optimal diet is made up of mostly animal foods. Plants (carbs) can be added based on individual desires. They are not essential. That's the spectrum.
That's my current understanding of the diet debate after investing maybe 500h of research.

ππππ.. Wow. Great stuff.
Nothing's gonna stop Nostr.
Great to have GrapheneOS. We need alternatives. However, it only works with Pixel devices as of now, which make up a small part of the total android phones in use.
In general, all the alternative ROMs (lineageos, graphene etc) are not easy to install for standard user and some have limitations (e.g. open bootloader means some apps won't run). Adoption will only grow if it gets easier to change OS and keep app compatibility.
I'm currently using lineageos with microg, which is as good as it probably gets for a de-googled experience on a non-pixel phone, but not perfect.
There is no solid science underpinning the dietary advice. The "diet heart hypophesis" from decades ago that led to the low fat, low animal foods and high carb advice is still an unproven "hypophesis".
There's no evidence for a meat negatively impacting health outcome. Same for ssturated fat: not even a biological mechanism could be demonstrsted by which sat. fat would lead to cardiovascular disease.
All just epidemiology and observational data that can only establish correlation but never causation.
Plant-based/vegan foods are almost all processed foods (e.g. sugar, sweets, bread, pasta, fries, fake meat and seed oils). Hence, the plant/vegan agenda is promoted and "studies" funded by the food industry and interest groups.
Animal foods are far less processed or not at all. Less money to make.

Margarine is fake butter and pure poison. Hydrogenated seed oils!
Yeah, always.
But as nostr:npub1chtxjzhuw99wmhs2kunap9shjekesmglu2atp40rtgsyctdlemwsfpf7kg said: itβs a processβ¦.
And a spectrum.
Yes, right. It is π
Been using synology nas for data storage for a long time. Synology has great integration and apps. Best money ever spend imo.
Also put lineageos with microg (de-googled phone) on my phone a while ago. Works well too; particularly with Aurora store. However, there are certain limitation when it comes to ease of use/convenience.
π€.. Interesting understanding. Agree.
The right mindset to challenges is to see the opportunity, the "up-side" to become a better person to improve life for everyone.
