   Stores here started replacing plastics bread clips with bread clips made out of cardboard.
   
   I hate it so much. The fucking cardboard bread clips literally don't work. You bend them once and they never bend back in place.
   
   I bought a bag of plastic bread clips and I replace them on every bag of bread I get.
   
   Also if the stores actually wanted to do something good for the environment they would replace the plastic bag that the bread is in with a paper bag. Like seriously the bag itself probably contains 100 times more plastic than the fucking clip.

     Also paper bags don't need clips in the first place you can literally just fold them and they stay closed.

     It's the same kind of pointless virtue signalling that is with paper straws.
     
     Paper straws do not matter in the grand scheme of things if you still make the drink cups out of fucking plastic. It would make way more sense to fix the cups first, then think of the straws.
     
     Also paper is a fucking shit material for straws, it gets wet and falls apart. Why not make the straws out of bamboo or something?
     
     Bamboo literally grows naturally in straw shape, you don't even need to do any processing other than cutting it to size. Bamboo is literally perfect for straws.

     @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo in FreedomLand we have these little twisty things that have a thin metal wire and they have either a paper or plastic (like pic) put over it.

     @lolitechengineer@loli.church Bread clips work better I think, easier to remove and reapply

     @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo wdym they don't work? It's a thin steel wire you bend around the throat. It holds tight until you've bent it to many times and it snaps.

     @drahardja@sfba.social How is this superior to bamboo that literally already grows in straw shape in nature?

     @SuperDicq The best non-plastic straws I’ve used were these ones made out of sugarcane: https://thesugarcanestraw.com — they are sturdy, don’t get soggy, and don’t have any offensive taste or odor to them.

     I think cellulose-based straws hold a lot of promise!

     @SuperDicq Because they can be manufactured with more control over dimensions, with thinner walls/lighter weight, and can be made disposable.

     IMO bamboo straws are great for repeated use! But most straw applications are in retail and the bulk of bamboo straws would be a net negative if they were going to be thrown out after one use anyway.

     @drahardja@sfba.social Oh right I forgot we live in late capitalism where making something in a factory is 0.2 cents cheaper than taking something that already grows in nature so every company is going to choose that instead.

     @Pi_rat@shitposter.world @lolitechengineer@loli.church It's not a VN. It is a rythm game.
     
     I figured out that if you simply just reverse engineer the notemap file format that rythm games use you can quite easily create a free software replacement for the game that has the same songs in it.

     @Pi_rat@shitposter.world @lolitechengineer@loli.church Because Project Diva (despite how much I love the gameplay), is made by Sega and uses Denuvo DRM and is also a shitty arcade machine port that is locked to a 30 FPS framerate.

     @Pi_rat@shitposter.world @lolitechengineer@loli.church And what also helps a lot is that some Japanese guy already made a free software clone called PPD (https://github.com/KHCmaster/PPD).
     
     But it written in C# and uses DirectX only.
     
     So I'm writing a compatible program for it in C++ and OpenGL, while sometimes looking at this C# mess to figure out how to do a thing.

     @SuperDicq If only the straws were made out of paper…
     
     Many "paper" straws are impregnated with PFoS to make them collapse slightly slower.
     
     You could just make the straws directly out of pine or use insoluble parts of wood, but that would result in a straw that actually lasts, rather than needing to be thrown away after 5 minutes of use.
