Though it’s a bit different from other professions, as far as I understand. In Germany, the customer is obliged to pay for the service once it is provided, but they have no legal right to demand the service, even after payment.

Yes, mybody wants anything. Though the community says anything goes, so I’m not sure how long I’ll have it 🤔

I regret not being an adult sooner

Steam has a “Go Offline…” options for pretty much that. Indeed it sucks that you have to do that before you go offline, but it sounds like a good idea with your setup and just switch to online occasionally to update.

Furthermore it depends heavily on the games, not on steam. Some steam games work without the steam client, though for some of those you have to fiddle around or execute different binary.

I don’t think Linux people entirely understand just how uninviting the prospect of messing around with an operating system is for the vast majority of the public.

The point is that you can, not that you have to. My system is very customized. A few years ago when I had to work with Windows I used it with ConsoleZ (middle click paste!!!11), Kate (KDE4Win) & Dolphin (KDE4Win; explorer didn’t support tabs), that also wasn’t the most stable experience one could wish for. I would’ve used a tiling manager if such a thing would’ve existed, but there are some things you just can’t have on Windows. Everything works fine and stable when you use the standard stuff (for Windows that would be Explorer, MS Office, Outlook, Edge, Visual Studio, etc), but I’d expect the same from stuff like Ubuntu without third-party repos and no manually installed stuff. And even more if you just use GNOME/KDE with their standard software.

Wait, I just have to reboot my watch

Really … separating that stuff takes like 5 seconds extra.

The point of the packaging shown in the original post is pretty much that it’s more paper and less plastic … where recycling tends to work better.

Regarding the wording. In German(y) we have two kinds of “Verwertung” (utilization). The material one (recycling) and the energetic one (incineration). Both is viewed as reusing the waste. Sometimes energetic utilization can supply the power and/or heat needed for material utilization.

Burning it doesn’t have to be as bad as burying it.

EDIT: I guess it depends on how it gets burned. The company, my dad worked for, used it to produce steam, for the chemical companies located there, among other things.

Especially for paper no … or rather it’s complicated. There is demand for recycled paper and we have lots of products which are made with these.

If I understand it correctly, Germany imports more waste paper than it exports. But the quality between those two differs

Like it’s been said that differs vastly by location. Afaik here in Germany it works quite okay … and European countries tend to have a higher incineration rate than the US. Burning the trash certainly isn’t the best solution, but at least it converts them into energy instead of just burying it somewhere.

But that aside, I like these “new” cups. It replaces part of the plastic with cardboard. That allows the plastic to be thinner, focusing on sealing it up and the cardboard handle the stability or even light protection. Though it can definitely be that there are some which are still as thick as they were, but that wouldn’t make sense for the producer. Here in Germany the plastic is often see-through and the cardboard printed on both sides. That’s usually used as advertising space, infos for waste disposal, but I’ve even seen it being used for cup noodles to mark the fill level.

Afaik paper is the thing where reycling works best currently, so it should be a win to replace plastic with paper.

The recycling rate increased in 2023. 79.3% of all paper and board consumed in Europe was recycled
