I have lots of complaints about DOP/PDO, but on the other hand it has its features.
While it’s true that, to paraphrase Vesper Lynd, there is parmigiano, and there is parmigiano, and I prefer the latter kind… The worst parmigiano I can buy in EU is still damn good cheese.

I see here no-one has a clue and expects Italian farmers to behave like american businesses, so I’ll have to explain. The ideology of Italian farmers (and pretty much all euro farmers) is pretty ugly, but also different from your typical murican grift.
In the specific case, Parmigiano-Reggiano producers are obsessed with the idea that they are losing billions to “Italian sounding” products like american Parmesan. Which they believe are sold interchangeably.
The thing that guarantees the absence of fraudolent data is that only “legal” Parmigiano producers from the Modena-Reggio-Parma area would be allowed to enter data in the system, and your american counterfeit Parmesan would be barred. Of course such a system is blind to the fact that they themselves are likely lying about the origin of their milk, but that’s a feature, not a bug.
Unfortunately this is not even peak farmer craziness around here, but that’s a different story (the farmer parties e.g. the dutch one are really ugly).
And this is all beside the obvious fact that Parmigiano-Reggiano is indeed the finest cheese in the world, so far ahead of the Parmesan competition that no person could mistake one for the other in a blind test. And the French and Dutch can bite me.

Yeah, did the Chinese invent a mechanism for rapid growth of 3D printed ladies?
Because since the change in policy was 10 years ago, your 23yo chinese factory worker better like his ladies very young.
But I would also be careful attributing all the selective abortions to the OCP.
Sex ratio in live births was still something like 110% or 115% in 2020, and looked stable.
India also has a sizable sex imbalance in live births, and never had a OCP.

All the girls that just do not exist because of selective abortions?

That face is so Dutch I can practically hear the accent.

There’s an argument to be had that it is a little harder to censor on Lemmy, and also I expect that it does not e.g. scan all PMs by default to detect >!!<spam as some big techs might.
So, if tech savvy people are harder to fool (but it’s definitely not impossible, see Cory Doctorow’s recent post) but the cost of spamming is a little lower… maybe it still works.

Can’t even tell if serious or what.
- Comment on do regular apps work with eOS? 1 month ago:
That also depends a lot. Often (e.g. on Fairphone) the stock ROM may lag behind way worse than e/OS.
So if a user has reasons to avoid a Pixel, or just wants to improve their privacy without replacing their device, e/OS may be a marked improvement even on security.

Not quite, it requires Play integrity.
Safteynet seems to mostly work.
