I’ll be shocked if they are able to do it in 4 months, never mind 4 weeks.

There were no serious attempts at enforcing the rules.

If that's so, then is it realistic to expect that to somehow change? These corps have been fined more times than I can count, but it's clearly not working.

The fines were too low. If Europe is serious now, it can change.

There is hardly a thing in this world that is necessarily good in all cases.

This only works in a competitive market, not for monopolistic walled gardens like Microsoft.

Sounds like you may be interested in Qubes OS, which runs everything in VMs.

You can tax drinks based on the amount of sugar they contain. Yes, including juices.

Yeah, in my country oat milk is now taxed as a juice, of course milk isn't. So the plant based alternative is now 2x the price of cow milk. Thanx Milk industry.

Milk is an order of magnitude healthier than the highly processed sludge called oak “milk”.

Source?

It’s considered an Ultraproceed food item. Just look up how it’s made and what’s added to it (oils, emulsifiers, fortified with minerals). It’s basically liquid cereal, but maybe worse.

There’s essentially no evidence that the degree of ultraprocessing affects a food’s healthfulness. There are tenuous and broad associations between UPF content of a diet and health outcomes, but these are based on invalidated FFQs for the exposure we’re interested in, and all the subgroup analyses where available suggest this is driven by SSBs and processed meat.

I’m not sure why we’d consider oils, emulsifiers or fortification and indicator of poor health outcomes.

Whole grain cereals are associated with positive health outcomes so I’m not sure why something being a liquid cereal would be a negative.

FWIW I would agree that oat milk is probably an inferior milk to dairy in most aspects except fibre content, but that’s not because of the reasons you gave. And soy milk seems either equal or superior to dairy milk in all outcomes that I’ve seen.

> It’s considered an Ultraproceed food item

By whom? Oils are not necessarily bad for you.

Animal fat/milk with the hormones of a different mammal seem to be causing a lot of problems. Planetary and health related.

And the low fat milk in the carton is pretty far from natural, where oat milk in example seems to be pretty simple process based on quick googling:

https://www.loveandlemons.com/oat-milk/

Of course any industry can make anything ultra processed, like oat milk, but the generalization was wee bit hefty here.

With dairy, is especially important to go for the organic options. In generally (excluding parts of Asia), humans have been cultivating livestock and consuming dairy for tens of thousands of years. Our bodies are evolved for it, but not the ultra processed goop and all the added sugar everywhere. If you want to avoid animal products, it’s probably best to just drink water than these engineered “milks”.

> especially important to go for the organic options

According to Wikipedia, organic food does not offer any advantage over ordinary food.

There is a book on that, gets posted every now and then on HN.

In case you never read it, https://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf

Hardly the piece of OS beauty that gets praised about FOSS circles.

I'm not talking about the OS though but about the approach.

Goes to both, otherwise UNIX authors would not have tried to improve their creations, working on successors to both UNIX and C.

I love that book but isn’t it nearly 30 years old?

And yet many of the pain points are still kind of relevant, go figure.

But that book is a waste. It is just MIT dunning-krugerites who were salty that LISP machines never took off. When it comes to real life, the bell labs approach won, and for several good reasons. Not "worse is better" (another dunning-krugerite cope), but "less is more."

Turns out free beer is great, even when it is warm.

From your perspective, what would be an "OS done right"? I have a running list of things I would change in Unix, but replacing sysvinit with systemd's one-ring-to-rule-them-all would not be on it.

The only good beer is warm beer. If the beer tastes like shit when it's warm, it's not good beer.

The UNIX way is still doing fine on OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Alpine, Gentoo... Poetteringware only won on the distros selling support contracts. "Fixing" what wasn't broken is great for those businesses.

Such as money from M$?

Qubes OS allows to isolate any workflow with hardware-assisted virtualization.

How can it help? Could you share more details please?

On Qubes, all software runs in virtual machines, isolated with strong virtualization. Anything you do in one dedicated VM has no effect on all others, so any unrelated data will not be accessible by the AI agents.

It’s great but how can it help with agent’s permissions for cloud services without fine grained tokens?
