It’s definitely more a curio than a competitor to, for example, the Switch, and the cost to entry is pretty high but I like mine a lot.

I found Apple Music is a big improvement over Spotify. The artist and browse pages are still full of algorithmic playlists unfortunately, but on your “Library” tab it functions just like an iPod with only music you’ve added to your library.

A friend who worked in hospo told me “the two most important waits for customer service are the time between someone walking in the door and them having a drink in their hand, and the time between deciding they want to leave and being out t

I have never had a nespresso pod which was close to "very good". It's marginally better than instant but that's all.

I mean there are plenty of things wrong with it. It’s a workaround, so: * if you use this, you can’t use any other sidebar at the same time * you need to put in custom userchrome.css to hide top tabs. Once you’ve done this you can’t easily

Of course! The delivery apps take 30% as well as delivery and service fees and most restaurants aren’t prepared to eat that loss or margin. It’s especially obviously for items that have fairly standard costs (like a Kebab in Australia is

Voting with your wallet obviously won’t work when going up against Alphabet. There is too much to gain in being the dominant market player and big tech companies have too much money to spend.

I take my bosses calls after work because I like her, and she is very busy and I know it is a convenient time for her. She wouldn’t mind if I ignored her call after hours because I was at the pub :)

This same argument can be used about all workers’ rights but as an Australian I am extremely glad for the rights we have and am happy to see them extended. This law isn’t going to make me stop taking calls from my boss after 5pm, but I am

The only place I see Chrome is the objectively better product is when using google services, so your monopoly argument somewhat falls apart.

That is true but it’s also why I feel so strongly about not optimising it to extract more money from fewer wealthier people. I don’t know - in Australia we oversize stadiums and, relative to population, expand our leagues much more so that

Does anyone truly deserve $50Bn compensation for anything?

I don’t either. I watch maybe one or two movies and a couple of seasons of television a year. I would only ever rewatch a movie if it happened to be on at someone’s house. But don’t stress, I’m not working on self improvement or my side hus

This is pretty standard cooking stuff, I thought. At least in Australia I haven’t seen pasta sauce served on top of pasta in a restaurant for decades.

I just wish it would remember my place in a set.

It doesn’t run a background process on your computer 24/7 to ensure you’re up to date like Chrome. Weird objection; I prefer it this way.

There are obviously more important things, but when visiting one of the most annoying parts of the US is it is impossible to know what something actually costs. With taxes and fees and gratuities (optional or automatic) it feels like I just

My partner is a GP and it is very common for patients to come in and, rather than describing symptoms, will ask directly for antibiotics. They can be quite pushy when she says no, so I imagine some doctors take the path of least resistance

It happens routinely in my industry (rail), which is primarily civil, electrical and systems engineering. In all engineering degrees it is impressed upon you that you are responsible for your work and if you behave negligently or outside yo

It’s all engineering except “software engineering”. You sign it, you own it. The senior techcnical leads who knew about this should face legal repercussions.

Discord’s interface is extremely busy but if you ever used IRC I think it’s fairly intuitive. It’s a much more complicated app than Telegram with a lot more functionality.

There’s already about 15 pages of nonsense when you set up a phone, I don’t think one tap to choose your browser is going to change much.

There are still lots of great games (mobile and board games) which aren’t like this at all. It’s just that mobile gaming is an awful platform because it has fully succumbed to financialisation.

Definitely it can feel like restaurants are taking the piss charging the same for a vego main despite much much cheaper ingredients being used. My partner used to have the same complaints about vego food! The right recipes can be just as fi

You don’t necessarily need to give it up, just eat less. It’s much cheaper, too! Cooking nice vegetarian food is more time consuming and you do need to learn new techniques but they are just as delicious and fulfilling. I will say there is

In Australia collective bargaining workplaces unions negotiate the pay structure and benefits for all workers, members or not. This leads to some arguments that non union members benefit from the unions without paying the fees, and indeed,
