Just like all plane crashes, everyone would die.

You forgot “seething resentmint”

Welcome to Lemmy/Reddit. Reposts are lazy and low effort. If it didn’t happen to you, why are you posting it? You don’t even get karma on Lemmy.

Superior to what exactly? Performance wise, privacy wise, and UI wise, Firefox destroys Edge.

Yes. If the minimum wage went up to something livable, do you think the restaurant owners are going to eat the cost or pass it along to you? Them putting an 18% surcharge, assuming that that’s an auto-gratuity that goes to the server, is the exact same as if you were begrudgingly tipping 18%. That being said, that should be announced somewhere as an official company policy. If you want a servant to make and bring you food, you have to pay for that luxury. You’ve just been paying below actual market price for that luxury since you’ve been born.

There’s the old “more people were in poverty before capitalism” argument.

Did capitalism bring people out of poverty? Or did access to education, healthcare, social safety nets, and proper food bring people out of poverty? Where I live, capitalism is what’s driving people into tent cities.

How does one person controlling the capital in an area, help other people if they’re gatekeeping the economic prosperity from by forcing them to perform labour, at a disproportionately low rate of recompense, to help them (the capital owner) increase their net worth? Don’t even say trickle down economics or I’ll deck you.

Okay, sure, but we’re talking about inches. 8x8 isn’t a large footprint. Don’t be obtuse. Also 4x4 is 1/4 the footprint of 8x8.

They’re not a lot bigger than a NUC. My HP mini PC’s footprint is like 8"x8"

I mean, they’re the OEM, they could easily have lowered their own prices. It’s not like they were taking a loss on each unit.

Pretending like capitalism is this new concept that needs to be fully explored and debated before we understand that it’s bad is a pretty bad faith framing of the issue. Infinite economic growth is literally impossible because Earth has finite resources and there is a finite number of humans. There is no necessity or imperative behind infinite economic growth other than to make the ruling class richer at everyone else’s expense.

Relatively cheap? Huh? At $500-$1000 they were exactly the opposite of a relatively cheap desktop machine.

Lenovo or HP mini PC would be a much better bang for your buck.

Touch grass, homie. This post is literally “wait till I tell my mommy how stupid everyone on the internet is”.

If you think that’s discrimination, don’t look at the marketing industry.

Discrimination based on biological factors is literally what insurance companies do.

This is seemingly an American only phenomenon. No one likes tipping, but if you patronize an establishment that abuses its staff with unlivable wages, you’re condoning bad business. At least help the server out if they put in the effort. At a self checkout though??? foh

To Logitech, you might as well have bought your headset hot off the back of a pickup truck. They have no verification that you didn’t.
