Seems to me like this just has Vegetarian replaced with Vegan, because, as you see there is no row labelled vegetarian without the prefixes.
Meat + Eggs + Dairy + Veg = Carno-ovo-lacto vegetarianism
Same species (human meat) + meat + eggs + dairy + veg = Homo-carno-ovo-lacto vegetarianism.
If you equate vegetarian with prefix to vegetarian without prefix, then everyone who eats anything vegetarian even once i their life is a vegetarian.
That'd make Hannibal Lecter a vegetarian because he decorated his raw human with some basil leaves.

Exactly why I suggested going to stuff like Starbucks to understand the feelings of OP.

You won't feel what they do, if you are eating good food at reasonable places.

I’m not familiar with your currency symbol

Try qalc.

It's got both, a terminal frontend and a Qt GUI one. (Actually 3. Also a GTK one)

You can copy the currency text along with the symbol into it and by default, it will convert it to your Locale's currency, so you can know the exchange rates at least.

Also, ₹2000 - ₹3000 per 8 hour day tends to be what an engineering fresher would normally expect in a place like Delhi, where a Subway sub will cost around ₹400.


❯ qalc
> 1/0

  1 / 0 = 1 / 0

I didn't know "eggs" were considered vegetarian.
Very /s apologies for my misunderstanding, which stemmed from vegetarian packets being marked with a green circle and eggs being marked with a black one, clearly stating not vegetarian.

₹300 comes at around 4 euros. 4 pounds is ~₹450, so it's pretty close.
If you check the pricing of one of the shit-listed chains, you get hardly anything filling in that price, vs ₹90 for a full meal in some places (that was somewhere in Bengaluru).

I think anyone with taste knows that a small non-chain restaurant, stall, or cart will have much better food than some corporate chain crap food made with industrially sourced ‘ingredients.’

With my aversion to food made out in the open, right next to running cars and open-coughing people, I stopped eating from roadside stalls by the time I started having enough autonomy.
I tend to prefer non-chain restaurants with viewable kitchens ^[those places tend to hire cooks who actually mind their coughing], but due to lack of any such desirable place in my area, eating out nearby, usually means subway (which is just, less bad).

Then I realise that with the amount of money I would spend to pay for the cheapest local meal place, I can actually cook with Ghee at home. And that topples the equation over its head.

  • Morning: Sandwich in Ghee/butter/peanut oil depending upon the mood
  • Afternoon: Fried rice in Ghee
  • Evening: Gram/Kidney Beans/Lentils in Ghee, with rice

Definitely not going back to outside food with nobody knows which oil they use.

Just don't let them be pressed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sympathy for naive users, and FOSS devs mainly do not

From what I have seen, KDE devs that I interacted with, had a higher tolerance for mistakes, than I would want to have for myself.

I once submitted a wish for Kate, which was also submitted multiple times before and marked as Won't Fix, because: a) low demand; b) nobody to do it.
But when I started trying to implement it, I as given more help than I should have asked for.

So, it's probably just about chance. Don't let a few rejections stop you. If you consider it useful, even if it gets rejected now, someone will see it eventually. And some programmer might find it worth implementing.

But you can, write your ID and Password on a paper under your keyboard and "forget" it before death.

Yes.

I absolutely hated the feeling of helplessness when I found a problem somewhere, when using Windows.
On Linux, I am happy to give bug reports/ wishlist reports and follow through with them. Maybe even fix something, if I feel like I can. That (and the higher transparency in communication) makes me much more forgiving of problems I may find anywhere.

Start going to Starbucks for lunch, instead of the roadside stall and you'll understand.
I'm happy with cooking at 13:00. Better than having an extra-humid, stale-feeling lunch box
