  • i see milk tasting almost like water like skimmed milk, as well as some juices i used to be able to buy, fillings in sweets like crackers and wafers being almost as thin as paper or outright stopping being sold and replaced by cookies using drops for a filling, yogurt being replaced by “milk drink” (yogurt is thicker and slower to flow down, i can tell the difference, but the label also changes, idk the english term for “bebida láctea”), a lot of sweets and bags reducing from 800g down to 600g, down to 400g while keeping the same price, packaging turning opaque and non-transparent, potato chips and other salt foods being filled 1/5th, down from 1/3rd, even instant noodles going from 150g down to 80g in the past decade.

    only things that aren’t changed as much is what i know to be the very basic things that people in here uses and cooks every day, that being rice (5kg), beans (5 and 1kg), pasta (500g all variants), sugar and salt (1kg), etc.
    mostly depends on the country you are in (i’m in Brazil), but the point is that it doesn’t stop at the chocolate bars.


  • it’s typically just a kind of pixel art with monospaced fonts¹. any characters you see that’s not typically shown on your keyboard (e.g a filled square) can be found in a character selection program in your OS. anything else related to texts, templating and line breaks you can probably find a program somewhere on places like crates.io or gitlab or write something of your own without much trouble.

    ¹ a monospaced font is a font where every letter and character has the same spacing from each other, and are the easiest to do ascii art. (ascii is just one character table, but you can also gather unicode chars all you want)












  • have at it!

    taken from Gitlab’s manual page for creating a key, but i wonder what else could be done to expand on it.

    #~/.gitconfig
    [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://gitlab.com/**"]
    path = /path/to/gitlab.gitconfig
    [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://github.com/**"]
    path = /path/to/github.gitconfig
    

    #example gitlab gitconfig from the included path
    [user]
    name = Your Name
    email = 0000000-YourName@users.noreply.gitlab.com
    signingkey = 0000999988887777
    
    [commit]
    gpgsign = true
    

    if all works well, Git should be able to automatically use the selected key depending on the repo’s stated remote server.
