Tad Cooper is a Dragon. Doesn’t matter if he’s got a beard or not.

I don’t use a case. I like my phone to be small (have an iPhone 13 mini) and a case would somewhat negate that advantage. I also haven’t really seen a case that I like the look of.

I do have a vinyl sticker on the back but it’s more for looks than for protection.

Modern phones are surprisingly durable. I mean, of course, over the time I have my phone it collected a few small nicks on the frame and a few minor scratches on the display but it’s a device I use daily after all.

I’ve only ever had two phones break on me and one of them (my iphone 4S) was accidentally flung across the room by the neighbour‘s boy and even it only needed a new back glass, which I fixed myself.

Framework stepping into the ARM market would be great. While I personally like Apple’s hardware, I love Frameworks philosophy.

I have to disagree on one point of your Asahi assessment though: While the old lead dev has stepped down, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The remaining team has since restructured and is focusing heavily on reducing those maintenance difficulties, besides working on support beyond M2.

Have you looked at an M1 or M2 MacBook with Fedora Asahi Remix (or the Asahi Linux project in general)?

Deshalb mehr Standardisierung. Eine Normbrunnenflasche oder eine EURO-Bierflasche wird überall genommen.

Thanks to the deposit-return system, recycling rates for PET bottles in Germany are indeed very high. Over 97% actually (which is quite awesome). Still leaves a few percent that aren’t, which is still a lot of plastic but we’re way above average.

In the USA for example, only about a third of PET bottles get actually recycled. The rest heads to the landfill or the burner.

For the yellow bag in Germany btw. (our trash system for plastic and compound packaging, tin cans, aluminium foil, etc.), the recycling rate is about two thirds in total.

Nah, there are a lot of glass and plastic bottles that do get reused a couple of times. You can oftentimes even spot a characteristic ring of scratch marks from the machines that process, clean and refill the bottles.

Typical „Mehrwegflaschen“ are

• Beer bottles (glass)
• Milk bottles (glass)
• Lemonade bottles (glass)
• Water bottles (glass and plastic)
• Coca-Cola/Fanta/Sprite bottles (glass and plastic)
• Yoghurt cups (glass)

There are multiple standardised types and sizes that are used by a multitude of brands. They are not recycled but reused. (Well, they do get recycled, once they are either broken or show heavy signs of use. The „Normbrunnenflasche“, the 0,7L standard bottle for water, for example, gets refilled about 100 times.)

And of course there is the „Pfand“ (deposit) system: Depending on the type of bottle, you usually pay a 8ct or 15ct deposit on the bottles. The system works pretty well.

Of course, there’s also a lot of one way bottles. Those usually have a 25ct deposit and are not reusable but get recycled instead. They’re usually also being brought back to the store, people want their 25ct back after all. (And yes, I know a lot of them aren’t actually recycled but end up at a landfill all the same).

And of course, there are also a lot of glass bottles that are not being reused and instead recycled by default like wine bottles or some non-standard types.

A lot of people on this very platform who are the very same that are commonly described as „tankies“.

Alternatively, I’ve had something similar on holiday in South Tyrol.

Ich bin bereit einen TCP Witz zu hören!

Ja bitte.

There aren’t any 21:9 TVs out there though.

Nene, die 3 hat er ja kaputt gemacht. Er muss also mit der 4. 180€ Rute gefangen worden sein, ergo bräuchte man eine 720€ Rute um auf Nummer sicher zu gehen.

Edit: vertippt

Ich halte Vulgärsprache in gewissen Situationen durchaus für angemessen und sie unterstreicht hier sehr schön den emotionalen Zustand des Kommentators.

I might, in the future, get myself a good (set of) steel pans. But for the time being, I have a pretty new set of brand name ceramic coated pans, that I got a very good deal on and that have much better anti stick characteristics than what I’ve seen steel being capable of doing and good steel pans are out of my budget rn.

Thanks but I specifically bought a set that was lead and cadmium free. Besides that, I don’t use those pans daily, so they’ll still last for a while. Maybe I’ll get steel after, but as of now, I like the characteristics of a good anti-stick coating a lot more than steel.

Also, as soon as they chip, they will be replaced anyways. Why would I cook with a broken pan? You wouldn’t use a steel pan with a hole in it either.

The „the aluminium underneath is unhealthy“ is just as terrible an argument as „the steel pan hurts more when you drop it on your foot“, imo.

Doesn’t work though if I want to fry something with little or even without oil, which I do on occasion.

I generally use either wood or plastic when cooking with an anti stick pan (although, supposedly ceramic coating can take more of a beating than teflon).

Got myself a set of ceramic coated pans just a few days ago. Am very happy with them. No PFAS at all and much better anti stick than my old teflon pan.
