I mean different countries different people making the decision.

We already have a traffic light system on foods and it is largely ignored, partly because few people have the time and energy but also because you have to look at your diet as a whole and not judge it by individual items. I also think these UPF studies have a bit of a conservative agenda.

Why do people eat more processed food? Because there isn’t a homemaker spending hours a day preparing meals as a full time job. Proceesed and convenience foods are massively egalitarian and I think let more people join the workforce.

The whole UFP thing is so wishy washy. It’s such a broad category it is essentially meaningless, one of the earlier guardian articles talked about sliced bread being a UPF as it has added vitamins and minerals due to law.

If you closer at the whole topic it just comes across as saying if you are poor and eat food that you can afford you will die earlier. Writing a reminder of this on the food will not help anyone but it will make poor people feel a bit more like shit.

He was supposed to have made his money before FTX by doing crypto currency arbitrage, but people have gone back and done the maths and his supposed profits were mathematically impossible (or just exceedingly improbable). The fact that his crime here was investors money went straight into a slush fund for his and his friends personal use suggested he didn’t make that much money first either.

I suffered from this a few months ago as well. The space and bandwidth flatpak was taking for about 2 small cli applications was obscene. Like 30gb all because it had accumulated about 10 nvidia drivers. I found the issue on github and it was closed as intended behavior. I install alot of rust apps from source and updating them from source was faster and easier than updating flatpak just due to the overhead of maintain those drivers.

That and the fact that every app has to be run through an alias or a. overly verbose command made me discount flatpak as a serious project. You can’t ignore UX to that extent and just rely on technical merits.
