  • While I agree with the anti-capitalist sentiment, your anger is misaimed. Forcibly keeping nonprofitable jobs which are easily replaceable by AI is contrary to contemporary marxian-derivative theories (see Bullshit jobs by David Graber). We, as a society should seize technical advancements such as AI and automation to let people work less while allowing them to afford life. Thus contemporary economists and modern monetary theories are more and more open to the idea of universal basic income.

  • "Across the..." was originally supposed to be called "Part 1". The third film ("Beyond the...") was supposed to be "Across the... part 2", at least that's how they were originally announced.

  • did they replace it with plastic sippable lids (like the ones for coffee)?

  • Or simply drink like a fucking adult

  • Yup, sugarcane plastic

  • also material you icons are monochrome

  • I have A11 so definitely not on my phone. Also I'm pretty sure I picked it manually.

  • Oh, also the Human Centipede trilogy. I haven't seen it, but my understanding is ::: spoiler spoiler the second film has the first one in its universe, then the third one includes the second film and immediately leads up to the first one again :::

  • let me put on a freedomite hat and say: they are a private business and are free to dictate how they do their business regarding bill-settling methods; if a customer doesn't comply they can simply go someplace else

    really though, I have never EVER seen a business which would not take cash. sure, I have seen businesses encouraging card payments and there are plenty of reasons to: one is money laundering I mentioned in the previous comment; cash is fucking expensive to handle (where I live it's 0.25% markup on card transactions vs 3 to 5% markup of a cash convoy); cash can be stolen by employees or simply misplaced. I know all this varies in different countries but where I live every single shop has cashless options, even farmers' markets stalls take cards because it costs them close to nothing and they save time and money not gathering cash.

    I see it as a way to hurt people without cards or bank accounts

    well if a business should accept cash or not make a transaction at all then they are not acting rationally by refusing business. why do you they would intentionally hurt people with no bank accounts?

  • Then why even bother answering a question that is about Firefox in particular?

  • Synology is guilty of that as well. You can login to your server via mobile browser but then do literally nothing, it's pretty much only links to separate apps for each functionality (file backup, photos, video streaming, music streaming, torrent server...)

  • nah, as long gmail is compatible with e-mail protocol in general, they have no reason to

  • it does the job and afaik was acquired by Mozilla and will in fact be rebranded to Thunderbird at some point

  • Sure, but at the same time paying some amounts in cash is immediate red flag.

    In particular, when I worked cash register in a business where people often made transactions that expensive (but usually with cards), whenever anyone wanted to pay more than equivalent of around $700 cash I had to ask an extra employee to do the recount after me and the customer had to sign a paper that they are not using illegal obtained money. It went to a separate register and had to be deposited the following morning. They didn't fuck around but at least never got in trouble for money laundering

  • weird, I never had that issue
