Wait, so then we have the comparison all wrong. Pho isn’t Vietnamese Tea, Tea is British Pho?
Having just recently worked at a grocery store, they’re likely shooting for being able to change prices daily without having to pay 3 extra workers to change all the tags in the grocery store. So it likely wont change during the day, for the reasons you listed, but any chance they get to up the price without a percieved loss in customers, they’ll just hit a button and bam, jacked the price by a dollar
I guess I’ll just offer you nothing then and instead ask you to leave? ¯\(ツ)/¯
I’ve actually had coffee tea, I have Indonesian family and one of the times I visited I was traded a bag of coffee leaves and berries for agreeing to be in some advertising pictures, and its actually pretty good!
So if a deranged person drinks the broth without eating the ingredients, did they then turn their pho into tea?
Its more we’re defending against Steams competition and dont want to see them gain any ground (Except itch and GoG, they’re cool)
We’ll let their position have some scrutiny when the PC marketplace has some actual decent competition, I’d rather not shoot the PC gaming sphere in the foot just because Lemmy hates corporations.
Its not momentum, its that the competition is garbage
Its still going after the LEAST shitty company and expecting your life to get better when the competition is FAR WORSE
Pretty sure social norms are better now than they were back when Luddites got their name associated with being against technological progress
Yeah, but the dot com bubble didnt kill the internet entirely, and the video game bubble that prompted nintendo to create its own quality seal of approval didnt kill video games entirely. This fad, when it dies, already has useful applications and when the bubble pops, those applications will survive
So, do textiles machines not exist anymore? It doesnt sound like them burning down factories stopped the textile factories in the long run
How does using free software to play dress up with anime characters bankrupt me financially?
Which is why the term Luddite has never been more accurate than since it first started getting associated with being behind on technological progress
For the first half of my transition over to Lemmy, I found myself talking and commenting more, even if I got into fights with Tankies a decent bit. I thought that once I blocked enough tankies and their instances my experience would get a bit better, and for a while it did, but then as time has gone on, I have begun to see that federation kind of makes good moderation extremely hard and rare, and if I try to use general feeds instead of curated ones, the amount of rage bait articles making it to the top has steadily started to increase, and this is finally pushing me away from Lemmy, and unfortunately back to Reddit since someone suggested Dig at one point, and good god its UI looks like I am constantly being fed ad after ad. I may eventually transition back to Gaia Online since I’m not super happy about going back to Reddit after all the shit Reddit has pulled, but I’m missing having a source of random information gain, that isnt hardcore tailored to rage bait.
For me its the growing extremist stances and ragebait articles, now that its got more users, the horrendous lack of moderation is starting to show
I am currently updating a minecraft server soooooo
