Wow!

This makes no sense to me what so ever. Why do any apps care about where the taskbar is? How's it any different when a window isn't maximised and the user resizes it? Either I'm seriously misunderstanding this or it's a completely made up excuse.

I'd rather they just say "we completely rewrote the taskbar, but we know that less than 0.01% of users move their taskbar so we didn't prioritize it".

To me the bigger issue with the taskbar is that you can't make it compact. Instead it has to be a big chunky mess.

Na winter can absolutely jog on. Give me my warm days and lots of sunlight.

What's his obsession with hating Europe?

Imagine the possibilities!

I always hated the UX of forums. It was incredibly difficult to follow long threads with loads of pages. Personally I prefer the format we have here on Lemmy where comments are nested off the main post.

When you log into the console and all your shits gone and you start to have a mild panic, when you suddenly realise it's switched you to a different region.

Laser - pilots look down at the ship I guess.

As an example, I had a friend in college who had a recipie he ate almost every night for dinner: one can of beans, one can of diced tomatoes. Put in bowl, stir, microwave, eat. He called it… Beans and Tomatos.

Yeah that's not a realistic meal. I'm talking about cooking proper balanced, healthy (although not always!) and tasty meals that are suitable for a family. The prep alone can take just as much time as it can to smash some beige oven food in the oven for 20mins at 180C.

Another friend ate (still eats?) the same breakfast for years. His recipie? Oatmeal. Period.

I do this too. I make it for my kids, throw in some frozen blueberries, sprinkle with chia seeds and add a small dollop of biscoff or golden syrup. Although it's not that much effort, it's still quite a bit more than making a bowl of cereal, especially when cleaning the saucepan after as porridge is a bitch to clean once it's started to cool.

Cost wise it absolutely is more expensive. Every substitute product I get that's UPF free costs significantly more. I'd say it added about 20% to our weekly grocery costs trying significantly reduce it.

Sure, those are a factor but it isn’t like the food themselves have the same kind of chemicals you’d find in things like drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. Those are two huge differences.

You can completely stop those things. You can't stop eating.

There's definitely an element of personal responsibility however it's not always as simple as that. Ultra-processed foods are cheap, have long shelf lives and can be quick and easy to prepare. I don't know if you've ever tried to go on a diet to avoid UPF as much as possible, but it's way more expensive, takes a lot more effort to cook everything from scratch, and generally doesn't last long at home. For a lot people, they don't have the luxury or time to manage such a diet.

Some people are more susceptible to addiction than others. For some, having a pack of biscuits or doughnuts in the house would be torture and would have to eat the lot if they're there, where as for others they wouldn't even think about it at all and probably forget they exist. Of course, people need to take that responsibility and not buy them, but you can say that about any addict.

Can we stop bitching about UPF? They are tasty, so you eat a lot of them and get fat. Simple as that.

That's literally the issue? They're engineered that way on purpose so you eat more and more of it in the cheapest way possible. They're calorie dense but don't fill you up the same as as non-ultra processed foods.

The definition itself is stupid. Bread is ultra processed. Protein powder is ultra processed.

That's not the problem with the definition, it's the problem that most supermarket bread is ultra processed.

It's driving obesity and causing a whole host of health problems.
