“Drink” is a bit more strict than I would have been. But it’s better than “mylk”, “mölk”, “malk”, “milk”… or all the other tries on making it sound like the thing it replaces while still being legally distinct. All I want is being able to quickly pre-filter products by name before reading the list of ingredients.

If it isn’t cow milk it shouldn’t just be called “milk”. Same for cow milk butter, meat, and honey. The majority of consumers expects to get a very specific product when they read those words without clear qualifiers like in “peanut butter” and “goat milk”.
We in the EU can be sure that if it is called honey, it’s made by actual bees instead of flavored corn syrup. That’s a good thing. I like those consumer protection laws preventing companies from scamming consumers even more than they do already.
Just call it “milk replacement”, or ingredient + “milk” like in “oat milk”.Btw, I prefer powdered fermented oats as milk replacement because it has a subtle sweetness and tastes great in coffee. If you didn’t try that before, give it a chance.

Technology@lemmy.world•Cisco gives 27-year-old engineer unlimited AI tokens to rewrite 98% of the company's legacy code in 24 months — president plucks former startup founder, telling him to 'go nuts'.English
54·14 hours agoIt would genuinely be an actual achievement to make Cisco software less secure. Usually, letting AI fully write software is bad. But in this case, I expect the rewrite to be better just because of how abysmally low the bar is specifically at Cisco.

26·14 hours agoThat sounds very communist. US doesn’t nationalize companies. US wages war against countries known for doing that (right now it’s Iran).

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is javascript the most versatile programming language when it comes to building a wide variety of things?
3·1 day agoThe best language for starting is the language you find easiest to learn.
But Rosetta Code lists a lot of programming tasks solved in a lot of different languages. Just browse a bit and if you’re lucky you just fall in love with one of the languages. Then, difficulty doesn’t matter.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•what is the thing you think the fediverse is not prepared for?
12·1 day agoSuccess.
With success come the bots, trolls, and buyouts. All the big platforms started as places people liked to be. The enshittification always came after the success.

2·1 day agoYeah, maybe i am a bit biased. And you should definitely tell them to add ad blocking and awareness of targeted and dragnet malvertising to their courses. Blocking ads should also increase productivity by reducing distractions and cognitive load when using the web.

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk is a 'real genius', Putin says after satellite talks with SpaceX boss: "We are in close contact with our American partners, including Mr. Musk."English
3·1 day agoPeople were always uninformed and greed rules the world since at least ten centuries. We literally had leaded gasoline and chemicals killing the ozone layer.
But we also got MAD figured out - probably the biggest achievement in human existence. And we banned leaded gasoline and the ozone layer killer chemicals. We solved acid rain too.
I think, our species is actually progressing positively right now - even though it may not always look like that.

2·1 day agoPutin wants his own Starlink. And he doesn’t want Musk to turn it off. He wants to be able to turn it off himself whenever he needs to - preferably without having to cause a Kessler syndrome.

4·1 day agoIt’s not like US elections weren’t rigged by massive campaign spending before. This is literally how the system is set up and worked for decades before. Musk just did it “right” by buying the biggest media platform of the time. People literally laughed at the massive financial loss he made with Twitter… then the government changed. Some still don’t get what Musk did there.

21·1 day agoBut Russia isn’t Israel. That the Mossad could force Musk to do anything they want doesn’t mean, Putin can too.
I think, this time it’s just Putin genuinely thinking that having his own Starlink would have made the Ukraine war so much easier - especially if his satellites would also have some electronic warfare equipment on board for jamming the real Starlink.

1·1 day agoI read the post and it’s still a “duh.” Of course, other countries will exploit the systemic corruption in our system. It makes a lot of sense for governments in non-Starlink countries to target Starlink users on their territory because those are basically guaranteed to be spies or saboteurs. And yeah, ad targetting isn’t exactly a new tactic. I just don’t get how agents are not using uBlock Origin. Don’t they get some basic computer security best practices course?

Not needed. It’s the OG product which dominates the market since literally more than 10 thousand years. Everyone knows what it is and what to expect from it. You will not find a more established product in the west.
Laws aren’t made just to make laws. They need a reason.
And the moment, milk replacements stop being sold with absolutely insane markups, the OG product will become a niche item anyway. Then it will be marketed to an aging demographic which is too accustomed to its taste to switch with slogans like “Real cow milk like in the good old times”. You don’t need to force a name change. It will happen automatically as the market switches to replacements.
