There’s that, too. But here in Germany I am pretty sure the rotisserie chicken at a vending truck is not sold at a loss, and I believe you get a half one at 5 EUR, which is still dirt cheap.

Honestly I am a bigger fan of vegetarian (vegan) meat supplements. I don’t mind if chemistry gets involved as long as supervision is adequate. In the end, livestock is just a biological “factory” that turns vegetables/grains/grass into tasty meat. No reason that can’t be done without the detour via the living being.

Not everyone’s cup of tea but I was always a huge meat lover and for ~15 years I have committed to only eat meat when I really really want to & focus on quality then. And those times have become less and less, and I can absolutely live with the veggie options.

But I think food chemistry can go a long way and potentially produce artificial meat as well.

While I don’t disagree on companies (having always been) getting greedy, getting a whole cooked chicken for 5 bucks is only possible through industrial factory farming of livestock with horrible animal cruelty. Try raising, slaughtering, plucking, gutting and cooking a chicken for that average price without basically creating a torture concentration camp for chicken.

Lennart Poettering deserves all the hate he gets and then some…

No, I haven’t used a login to that place in 4 years or so

Very reflected and based take :) quality content, I did not regret reading - thank you for your service to the Fediverse!

oh definitely, when I left reddit (ahead of the curve), I made sure to mass edit all my comments and posts and everything I could find one way or another, to leave as much shredded garbage behind as I could. But I still wouldn’t be surprised to find them analyzing the time of such mass edits and preserving a snapshot of content from a user before such an event.

who hurt you?

woosh

Also, Chuck Norris passed away earlier this year (and has now taken over for Death as ruler in the afterlife, I suppose).

What’s the problem with 100% open-sourcing? Third party libraries?

As an atheist from what I picked up over the years: yes.

Chuck Norris was the only being to ever exist that could be 200% of anything.

They still keep those comments as training data I’m sure. Likely even the overwritten ones.

That only delays the problem, doesn’t fix it, sadly. Chinese firms understand capitalism better than the west imo, so once they have a large market share, they will likely pull off the same shit. Still, for now, they are probably the better option.

For me, personally, I am trying to keep my 300 thousand km car alive :)

Going by comments in the post, the required login is coming in waves, so not all people may notice immediately.

It appears this has become the tried & tested means of choice to minimize pushback. Users frogs in slowly boiling water.

Not the first hissy fit either that the dev threw: https://codeberg.org/tesseract-ui/tesseract-old/commit/38f215e3ea164efce24cf3bf2d7f4f9ecde99633

I think this is just actual mental illness. The guy needs professional therapy, not an internet account.

Unfortunately it wasn’t SciFi, it was a warning.

This is poetry. Oh well - it actually is :D

Yes, that’s a core purpose of git.
