That screenshot looks disgusting. Unsharp font, irritating icons, weird fontset. Is that GNOME and/or Ubuntu? Terrible.

Care to explain?

Thanks for stereotyping. I have and am still paying rent for all my life and the rest of it.

“Should” is meant here for a better/good way do do things. If it is not possible, a “should” just is not applyable, it is a “should” after all.

Maybe this is a language/cultural/mental perspective misunderstanding.

Yes. Because we live in a setting of specialists.

I am no specialist at efficiently growing healthy food. So if I try it, it will be objectively worse than if someone else more proficient does it for me. And if that one is worse in doing something I am better in, we both are off worse and everything overall.

So if we both would do things we are good at, the resulting products/services would be better, the processes would be more efficient (time, ressources, waste), which in return benefits all participants and the environment at the same time.

Actually that is so efficient, it is possible to pay for the store’s rent, the wage of the people transporting, managing and selling that stuff to me. If I ineffectively grow my own food, all these are out of their jobs or have to (badly) grow their food at home, which they cannot afford anymore and they even do not have the necessary space for a field to do so.

What? How can my comment possibly be voted down?

You should shop by ingrediends and ecological reasons. That’s sadly not represented by $/g.

The heavier product with the better “bang for the buck” is usually the one with the poorest quality and lots of sugar/additives/flavours/etc.

Discounter products like “Great Value” can easily have a better quality than stuff produced by “Kraft” and other Unilever/Nestle/etc. products.

Checking the ingredients list and the nutrition table should be a natural first instinct when grabbing something off the shelf.

Why not Hitler? Mao? Stalin? Putin?

Edit: read below it was intended as joke, I’m relieved but still concerned.

you could add another layer of swap in between ram and disk by using zram. as it compresses swap in ram with a very fast compressing algorithm it effectively expands the ram size

btop makes the dedicated gpu turn on, wasting energy and disrupting its power saving. yes, this can not be disabled in btop, so it happily shows no load on the gpu. gee, thanks.

But maybe you can explain where all the downvotes come from, because I don’t understand.

Is thievery good? Only when thieving from companies? Is is socially acceptable to take what is not yours from others? Only from companies? Or from a stranger who has more than you? From a friend? What’s this all about?

No, I’m serious in all statements. Corpos will jack prices on any occassion that offers itself, so keep the number of those low.

service is not something the client has to ask for but something the vendor provides. Just like you hold a door open for someone entering behind you, you provide that service, unasked. Having to ask for service is a failure in itself, it’s just “no service”.

“service” is no “special attention” but I get to the conclusion our misunderstanding might be a socio-cultural thing

I don’t know where you live but here theft is a crime and very antisocial and despicable.

Someone has to pay for the thieves and prices rise because they have to compensate for theft. Even if prices in reality do not need to compensate, because margin is already big enough, it gives retail a free card to jack prices, which, in essence, is yet again against consumers.

You mean “rude” in asking for a cashier? Not sure I understand

This says much about respect and social competence in this society when the first instinct is to mock and abuse someone with different priorities than yours.

Stalin alone:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin

Conversely, his totalitarian government has been widely condemned for overseeing mass repressions, ethnic cleansing, executions, and famines which caused the deaths of millions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_mortality_in_the_Soviet_Union_under_Joseph_Stalin

This contained official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),[8] around 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag,[9][10] some 390,000[11] deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,[12] with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories.[13] According to historian Stephen Wheatcroft, approximately 1 million of these deaths were “purposive” while the rest happened through neglect and irresponsibility.[2] The deaths of at least 5.5 to 6.5 million[14] persons in the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 are sometimes, though not always, included with the victims of the Stalin era.[2][15]

don’t know, tell me with sources, please

How many millions died under Stalin, Mao, Che?
