This is a valid point, that I am aware of, but it doesn’t help to save energy with dishwashing when you then drive a gas guzzler or waste energy on a high end graphics card or air conditioning ^^ What matters is the overall energy consumption footprint - I prefer to clean my dishes by hand, and save energy elsewhere :p

Orrrr just wash the dishes by hand.
One of the major myths in the western world is that we somehow need to “save” water in areas where water is abundant. We don’t. We just need to keep it clean. And used water is not “gone”, it goes back into the cycle after sewage treatment.
The amount of dirt that goes into the wastewater is the same, regardless of whether you wash the dishes with 1 liter of water, or 10. As a matter of fact, “saving water” has gone to such extremes in some parts of Europe, that the freshwater pipes - originally dimensioned for higher throughput - can accumulate dangerous bacteria and every now and then, workers come to open some freshwater valves to freeflow into the street / drains, to accomplish the necessary throughput.
it’s not about solid food. It’s about whatever food remains sticking to the dishes. It stinks within hours.
There’s people (me, for one) who need the sink for other things (fetching tap water, cleaning countertops, cleaning pots / pans). Also, each to their own but I find it gross to have anything dirty in the sink for extended durations. Yes, also dirty dishwater.
it’s not about what the dishwasher can handle, it’s that it is disgusting to have decomposing food sitting in there, which it becomes after less than 24 hours
in a single person household where you eat out frequently, it can take a week to fill the dishwasher. With food and drink remainders on dishes, it starts smelling after two days tops
No drawbacks? It stinks when you don’t have enough people in the household to fill it quickly. Also, it’s disgusting if you do not pre-rinse food remainders off plates, so that has to be factored into the water equation.

raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•why are website language switchers in the current language?01·8 days agoLike, at an old company the UI had really bad mouse tunnels (mouse over menus and sub menus that close if you mouse out). Terrible interface. But someone in management liked it and no one would approve changing it. Easy to look at it and say we’re all morons, but most of the stupid there was from leadership.
If more people had a backbone and spoke out / refused to implement shitty stuff, this wouldn’t happen. Also, many design choices are entirely on the web developer. Thus morons. I’m not gonna change my opinion until websites become usable again, you’re wasting your time on me.

fair enough, that is a good point.
Again, and I feel like I’m repeating myself here, my point isn’t that you’re incorrect, it’s that getting on your high horse about it and calling people dumb
No, I wasn’t calling people dumb, I was calling “most web developers” morons, and I stand by that. Most web developers are morons. And the language topic at hand is just one of many symptoms of that. Way more annoying than that is that almost all websites have been fubared with stupid frameworks and interactive sites transmitting each keypress and reloading parts of the page while you are trying to use them / whatever was in your focus before. Interactive websites can be done right, but most of the time they are not, and it’s the fault of stupid marketing people and crappy web developers / designers who do NOT refuse to implement shitty marketing ideas.

There were calm phases in Israel, and many people moved there without genocidal actions ever being part of the public perception.
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•why are website language switchers in the current language?0·8 days agoThe only thing I know about i18n is that it is an annoying shitload of language installer packages for both firefox and libreoffice ^^ That said, however, how you need training for a localization package to provide a language menu(!) - not the translations, mind you - in English, is beyond me. I can’t follow the point you seem to be trying to make. There’s no reason to not hardcode (in English) a language selection menu, and then display the list of available site languages (and these should be a country flag with the name of language next to it in what may be the language itself)
immediately where my mind went.
From “haha, raspberriesareyummy will marry his computer one day” to most everyone around me constantly staring at their whatsapp, tiktok or “talking” with siri/alexa.
Fuck this shit :(
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•why are website language switchers in the current language?0·8 days agoValid comment to some degree, but putting language options in the selected language is always dumber than providing them in the only world language.

I am not using a dishwasher because … gross. It’s different when you have enough people to fill it in a day and run it.
