  • So, OK, I’m willing to learn: please show me good brands then.

    They need to resist to mud (thick mud, the kind with a ton of suction that will keep your soles when you try and move), seawater, rocks and sand, and pretty dense vegetation.

    They also need to have steel toe caps, good soles (vibram or equivalent if possible) that don’t slip, and that aren’t too hard (wet stone is enough of a female dog as it is), and to go higher than my ankle.

    The best brand I tried so far was caterpillar, but they lasted only 3 years. That’s a far cry from “a decade or more”.



  • Yeah so, the amount of meals is correct. But that’s about it. I mean, I can’t say about the taste, to each their own, but one kg of cow meat needs two dozen kg of grain.

    That’s about as inefficient as it gets.

    As for the leather, the industry doesn’t like products that last a decade, so it isn’t actually using the leather in such a way. Industrial leather boots last a year tops.

    Finally, pet food is made out of discarded cuts of meat, the uglies, etc. But also lots of cereals, and vegetables.

    So we could really afford eating less meat. It isn’t good for anything. Not for us, not for the other species (certainly not for the cows, that get often half assed butchered in a hasty way because of quotas and profit), and absolutely not for the ecosystem.

    But I guess the taste is all that matters.

    In that case, your second and subsequent points should have no text, since the source material has no text for them. And the last point can’t arguably have text at all either way. 😉

    More seriously, the source material has both texts and images, and it was your choice to only represent half of that. You could have easily written:

    meme explanation

    Note: Descriptive information is in italics.

    text image
    understanding a meme with text Small brain
    understanding a meme without text Normal brain
    understanding a meme without text Nor image
    understanding a meme without meme

    Or:

    This meme is taking the classical “expanding brain” meme, and removing increasingly more content with each panel, implicitly prompting the reader to interpolate more information at each step, to practically illustrate the concept of the meme itself. The last panel has nothing at all.



  • I think Time Cop answers your request the best.

    It is on f-droid (ca.hamaluik.timecop).

    Unfortunately, even tho it works well for your use case (you would have to turn on the option to have only one task at a time), it makes very basic use of notifications, and has no widget… It could be so much more.

    Edit: I discovered it yesterday while perusing this thread (I have been searching for a time management software for a long time, so I checked all the suggestions one by one on f-droid, and when searching for “a time tracker”, I found it), and I have been using since. Very cool software. Works well, very usable. I highly recommend it.








  • That isn’t real. It wouldn’t pass peer review. Here is the actual code:

    function GetCookieValue(x) {
      return JSON.stringify(x);
    }
    
    user.cookies.agreed = Boolean(GetCookieValue(true));
    
    if(!DarkPatternPopup()) {
      // Make sure we respect the user choice
      user.cookies.agreed = Boolean(GetCookieValue(false));
    }
    
    if(user.cookies.agreed) CollectData(user);
