I second this. Btw, I witness, in an almost daily basis, the power of a shared classification system based on numerical IDs/prefixes. My parents use a web app based on an old-school text user interface (the vendor translated the origin

Wheat prices fluctuate according to USD/BRL rates and this is one of the reasons Brazilian inflation gets significantly affected by exchange rates -- which is expected, considering how many basic products, like bread, depend on wheat.

I've been using xfce and it's been a good compromise. However I think it's impossible to stay 100% away from the bloat. Even if your desktop is lean, you will have to use some "modern" app, eventually. Especially wh
