  • What's the best wax-on-wax-off-style advice you've heard that you can attest as being helpful in certain situations?

  • I started to do it to keep the dog dirt out of my sheets. It's the first time I have ever done this in my life. I now feel like an adult.

  • I think many Firefox users are tech savvy enough to know that Firefox for iOS is just a reskinned Safari. They know that it isn't the real-deal and so any stats on who uses Firefox on iOS are kind of misrepresenting the situation.

  • iOS would have root access to aGPS (or even real GPS) to determine location. There's no easy way to spoof that against a determined asshole actor.

  • A large state corporation in Brazil is currently trialing 800 Linux PCs. If successful, it will deploy and replace 22k Windows installs, comparable to the migration happening in Germany.

  • VLC - App stores were a mistake

  • The assumption is that legitimate companies who sell software will sign it and that signature proves it came from that company who you trust because of their publicly known legitimacy. It's a bit of circular reasoning. But it does round back towards that legitimacy - if it is found that they violate your trust, they lose public trust and thus lose sales.

    Luckily new OSes (cough NOT WINDOWS) are able to sandbox applications and prevent them from accessing resources without declaring the need to access it.

    And as for the signing certificate, I think the MS Store will allow any signed app. They just offer the cheaper signing service.

  • Oh I don't give a damn about the whole starbucks v ADA bit. I'm just chuffed by the price of oatmilk being out of sync with reality

  • Yes: At the grocery store.

    No: At multinational commercial quantities.

  • That makes for bad gift giving imo because then they could've just gone out and bought something for themselves.

  • Look at the processes to create dairy and non-dairy ingredients.

    Dairy can be done on the small scale, but it is typically done on an industrial scale where animals are reared and exploited in an extremely labor, water, energy, and space inefficient process. The outputs are raw milk which must be processed into different milk products and pasteurized then refrigerated and transported.

    Compare that to oat milk.Arable land is sewn and watered. It is tended and then reaped. Oats are processed in a crusher and kiln. They are then crushed again, boiled with enzymes, pasteurized, cooled and transported.

    Which one really costs more? Everyone is focusing on price at the store but they aren't asking which product actually costs more. Dairy costs vastly more than oat milk and it is plain to see. The reason oat milk is priced higher is due to low volumes and grocers knowing they can rip off vegan white women which is their overwhelming demographic. The reason dairy milk is priced lower is due to enormous government subsidies and nearly a century of mechanization and optimization.

    Why does this matter for starbucks? Because they can easily vertically integrate to remove the price barrier and instead focus on cost. Oat milk costs are extremely cheap when at larger scales like those of a corporation the size of starbucks. Stop focusing on how expensive it is at the grocery store level - it is not an apples to apples comparison to what huge corporations deal with.

  • I completely disagree because of the huge volumes that starbucks uses. They can just buy chobani and get the oat water at cost.

  • Starbucks accused of violating Americans with Disabilities Act by charging extra for non-dairy

    Jump

  • Eh... at their economies of scale I think the oat water would be far, far cheaper. They've vertically integrated quite a few ingredients - what's oat or almond milk to add to the list?

  • Starbucks accused of violating Americans with Disabilities Act by charging extra for non-dairy

    Jump

  • The idea that it costs more to put oats in a blender with an enzyme is more expensive to produce than breeding and feeding cows is pretty laughable. Non-dairy is only more expensive because of gigantic subsidies that simply don't need to exist in the modern era.

    Edit: the number of you simping for a gigantic corporation is surprising. Oat water is cheap to make. Milk is not. You buy milk at the grocery store nearly at cost. You buy oat milk in branded containers in the yuppy-vegan-white-women priced section at gouging prices. Starbucks does not have costs like the grocery store lists their prices.

  • You could let people host their own as a method of scaling. But that limits it to geeks like us.

  • It's not an apples to apples comparison. This was a reddit post made by someone who went out of their way to buy things for different amounts to make ragebait.

    It's a dumb post and it is safe to ignore it. Sadly someone reposted it here.

  • Did anyone have Iomega Zip drives where they studied/worked/lived?

    Jump

  • I very nearly bought one back in the day. Instead I opted for an mp3 player with compact flash storage. I believe I was tired of my cd based walkman's tendency to skip when I was moving so I wanted a smaller, non-moving drive.

    Then my dumbass bought one of those compact flash drives with an internal platter harddrive.
