    People who love coffee brew it themselves. They don’t need to endure long lines and wait for some poorly treated minimum-wage employees to burn it for them.

    I suspect coffee preferences, whether someone makes it for them or not, might be down to whether their place of work is conducive for even making coffee. Perhaps there are socioeconomic lines as well that divide people. Do most people feel the need to have their coffee made for them at a fast-food establishment?








  • Kyle@lemmy.catoAndroid@lemmy.worldShould I buy a Pixel or a Samsung?

    I have the same experience. I find somehow the call blocking is more robust on Samsung. I had no idea that they even had that feature parity.

    The perception of Samsung being full of bloat is a misnomer. Can’t get rid of lots of Google apps on the pixel and can’t change the photo gallery app or the camera app.

    I have my own Cloud and don’t want to use Google’s, and Samsungs software was much more receptive in me de-googling the phone the way I wanted to with my own self hosted photo backup software.

    Also I don’t have a hand warmer for a phone now.

    The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.

    Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.







  • I’ve read all the responses here and am horrified that you seem to live in an ungrounded plastic bubble. Is that a Canberra thing? Or can’t even find a small metal object the size of a coin to make discharging painless, how why?

    If it’s an old house there should be tonnes of metal things to touch.

    Corners of walls, radiators or central air vents or return air vents, screws on switches or power outlets, furniture with metal bits on it, sinks taps and water fixtures with metal parts, thermostat, fireplace casing.

    Literally touch everything and report back.
