Damn I was wondering exactly that a few days ago. Once again lovely job from eff to clarify here.

Oof altered carbon got me that hard. The first season is so confusing and amazing. The second season.... Well

A pound of ground beef or tofu is a third that price.

I understand what you're trying to say here. But I just wanted to add, making a vegetarian/vegan burger is not as simple as grinding up a pound of tofu and sticking it together to fry in a pan. I'm not saying you have to buy some of the "no meat" brand burgers to make a nice vegan patty but simply substituting some meat with natural unprepared tofu and expecting a great tasting result is IMHO where a lot of people get their aversion to tofu (and often derived to all meat alternatives) from. (Source 15years of vegetarian eating and cooking) The fact that ready made vegan patties exist and taste great these days is awesome for someone like me who sometimes just wants to make a stupid simple tasty burger.

Tl;dr: Tasty vegan patties aren't that simple.

I agree that people should be encouraged to cook more (I love doing it when I have time and it hits me). But simply declaring "nobody can cook anymore" and demanding people that might not have the time to prepare a home cooked meal in between their first and second job is not helping.

Of course the convenience of fast food and ready made meals is one of these classic situations where an "invention" that makes our life simpler and more convenient is a good reason why we don't need all that time we save to ourselves anymore. i.e. you don't need a lunch break when you can just microwave something up and eat it while continuing your work.

Sorry got kind of a long winded bit here. Hope it makes sense

Germany is actually well known for having very low grocery price

English language article that mentions this though the main subject of the article are the " true price of groceries including climate costs: https://www.dw.com/en/the-true-cost-of-germanys-cheap-food/a-38976477)

This is largely done by price dumping the suppliers and low balling the workforce (as much as German labor laws allow) <- I'm aware I have no source for this I will try to dig one up tomorrow when I can

Took me a second to figure out that was the Nvidia drivers version number. I was wondering if gnome made another major version shift from 45 to 545 for a second :)

Now name 10 distros that aren't based on each other. And yes I'm counting the *buntus as being based on Debian.

If you look at the famous lineage graph there's a fill out there but barely any reinvention of the wheel (not that that's a bad thing).

I love yes it is an amazing tool. I never had an actual use for it since any tool I might want to use it on (like apt) already has some kind of command line switch for it already

But I just once in a while stumble across yes again and run it for half a minute and have a chuckle.

Just like every time I read: https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html

I understand and appreciate you trying to learn. I think one of the issues why nobody can really point you to a good resource is that there are no 100% neutral resources that document "the conflict". Even just where/when you start something like a timeline can be biased.

Keeping all that in mind I have found a video that gives a short simplified summary of the base history.

I liked it (might be part of my bias since I like crash course). But I'm sure there are mistakes in there and as above some details/framing might just be due to biases of the author's/presenters etc.

I love ThinkPads especially the "good old" ones. Especially for their accessibility of parts and easy repair/upgradability.

My personal laptop has been a Thinkpad since 2013 (Thinkpad Edge E135 > Thinkpad X220 > Thinkpad x260) and at work we are also given ThinkPads (currently running a T14 gen 3).

Most ThinkPads I encountered are also sturdy built and not Gleis together or some crap like that. However I recently had an issue with my x260's power button no longer working and to get it to work I had to replace the top bezels. Well maybe to put it more bluntly I had to get a replacemt bezel and put my Thinkpad into it since to replace the bezel I had to take out almost everything and then put it back in the reverse order. The mere fact that I managed to do it and there are officiall step by step instructions on how to (hmm) are a big upside of ThinkPads. But like others have said it used to be even better.

Well long story short: I've recently preordered a framework 13 amd while I honestly would have preferred a "Thinkpad black" Chassis framework just seems to have the right idea to me.

Yep. Use it at work every day (on Ubuntu). Gives you more features than the "oicial preview client" used to do (like custom video backgrounds and screen sharing on Wayland) but you can run it as a seperate app instead of just in your browser.

Yeah. As someone running a NAS/Jellyfin server of a SBC/USB SSD I would love to pick up an x86 sffpc too properly put everything inside but idle power and quiet aren't easily beat.

Software support olinwouldnt really agree since x86 gives a lot more options than ARM
