That’s even worse, like you said, selfish.
People describe Jäger as tasting like licorice
As someone who dislikes licorice, it tastes like a very strong herbal drink to me
Takes out lightsaber from sleave it’s actually a refreshing beverage CERVEZA CRIIISTAL
walks my groceries home like a european
We do buy bulk as well, I’d say maybe 10% actually walks them home? I guess it depends greatly on the type and location of the store.
how often do you encounter scales on self checkouts?
Every store with self-checkout has them, usually there will be one scale before you actually use a register. It gives you a sticker with the weight/price barcode to scan yourself.
It’s not necessarily about the value they provide
That’s how a business works though, people do work of value which the business provides to its customers. I know nothing of the situation is SA but ordering business to lose more money doesn’t seem like the way to go. I’ll agree with the other comment calling for UBI.
That article wasn’t helpful though, just a whole lot of people talking with too much conflict of interest.
So is it customary to tip the person doing the bagging? Or maybe a designated bagger will do it faster, resulting in less wait times?
My favourite system is where I place my cart next to another one, and the cashier will scan everything while placing the item in the other cart, where I could have placed boxes if I wanted to.
It’s the same for filling your car with petrol.
But how does this person provide any value though? That person has to be paid as well, and doing something a customer can do well by themselves provides very little value. It used to be necessary, older petrol pumps had to be manually enabled or had no stop valve that person is required. With modern pumps having a person fill up your car is equally unnecessary.
As a European, I have never once had an extra person there whose sole purpose is putting your groceries into bags, what a strange concept.
Definitely, good thing button mapping is becoming more mainstream.
That is so interesting, thanks!
I don’t know about this one, I have ps/xbox brain as well, but putting confirm on the right side somehow always made more sense to me, even though my muscle memory doesn’t agree.
Mini portals for electricity and internet but not water and sewage? Cheapskate!
Hence why it might be hurtful to small creators. I’d love to see the numbers on that though, as the overall percentage of people using an adblocker is very low, I assume for Sponsorblock it’s significantly less.
I recently setup my own instance and wrote this for people new to lemmy:
Federated?
~ Anyone can host a server
~ Servers host instances
~ Instances host Communities
~ Communities host wonderful people
~ Instances can communicate freely between eachother
This is the federation
What makes Lemmy and any federated platform so interesting is the ActivityPub protocol. This allows Lemmy, which is a content aggregator social media, to communicate (or Federate) with other types of social media, such as Mastodon (a twitter microblog style) and PeerTube (video hosting). Meaning any instance of the Fediverse can independently read each others content, without the necessity of having to use different apps and/or accounts.
It’s a whole licensing thing where they have very little to gain but a lot to lose. Intelectual property is very important in the IT world, companies tend to keep their work for themselves.
Two headsets ago I bought a G933 from Logitech, mainly because it had an AUX input on the USB-dongle which I thought was pretty neat, but that one had big unnecessary RBG strips on the sides of the earpiece. The most ridiculous usage of RGB I had seen till date. But I programmed an interface between CSGO and the RGB on the headset to indicate my health so the people watching from behind us at a lan could see it.
Anyway, I’ve always preferred white LED’s and RGB can rarely replicate pure white.
