@thor neat!

@blog first bit reminds me of

... which is more than 20 years old. wtf.

@djsumdog @jaj0_0 my day started with coco pops and from then only turned worse. can't recommend.

@barefootstache
i have two reasons why caring for the environment is a good thing, one rational, one emotional:

- our own wellbeing correlates with the wellbeing of the environment. nature as whole will have no problem dealing with the problems we create.

- it is morally better to not destroy living things or their habitats.

@kireicake @freemo

@freemo from my experience there are two camps, "can cook reasonably good" and "i can cook pasta and pour the ready made sauce". i think the increased quality of convenience food is also a reason for people not cooking. if you are ok with everything being a bit too sweet/salty/etc. you can get quite a variety of things now.

what i've always thought is interesting is that cooking was a classic women duty in families, while professional cooking was not viewed upon as "unmanly".

i usually make fried potatoes from leftover cooked ones. all my tries to with fried raw potatoes were kind of disappointing, either not fully done on the inside or not crisp enough. guess i haven't found the trick for that yet :)

potatoes are my favourite carbs, they are much lighter on my digestion than other things and at least count as vegetable :P

@kireicake does the microwave create harmful anti-orgons?

congratulations for not owning an appliance, i hope you also don't use wifi or a cell phone. those are also in the microwave band, and probably near to your testicles ;)

@freemo

@freemo i think many people can't really cook anymore, judging from what i see people buy in the store :)

i usually cook potatoes before i fry them in the pan (idk if that's a german thing?). i also eat them cooked rather often, for example with eggs and green sauce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_sauce#Germany or a bit like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baked_potato#Turkey .

while something fried in the pan is always better, the microwave version is surprisingly good :)

@freemo
sounds interesting, i'll try that out! it's funny how some of the convenience products are rather easy to prepare yourself :)

some microwave recipes:

if one only needs a few potatoes, it's usually much faster to cook them in the microwave in a bowl with some mm of water and a lid on top. takes 6-7 minutes from my experience, just don't let it run out of water for producing steam.

put mushrooms together with olive oil, salt&pepper and crushed garlic in a microwaveable bag and shake it so that the mushrooms are covered, then microwave for 2-3 minutes. this is from https://tmblr.co/Zq4wGtiCzgi6 .

@freemo what do you make in the microwave? i usually make "eierstich" (seems that there isn't a good english word for it.. "royale"?) in the microwave.
there are also those gadgets where you put in an egg and a bit of water and the eggs are steam-cooked, but it takes ~10 minutes.

@xerz this sounds like a sales pitch, but is still missing examples of what i can't do with the kernel api. i can authenticate remote accounts with ssh. sudo policies and users can be created during package installation.

it is no surprise that if one builds windows like things one gets the same set of problems.

@xerz
> welp, Polkit exists because the kernel's policy system (accounts, filesystem permissions and cgroups) ain't enough

what can't you do with that?

my vague feeling is that in 99% of the cases you can solve these things like this (modify as needed):

add a group, add an entry to sudo/doas to allow this group running a command as root without password. add respective users to group. have your stuff call the command via sudo/doas.

> but anyway, I meant "Linux" as in "community-developed Linux-based distributions"

blame polkit if polkit is to blame, please. the kernel folks have their hands full keeping that shit out of their code (e.g. "kdbus").
