  • You mean the guy who called the cave diver a pedo before all this?

    And who brought “freedom” to twitter?

    And now he’s running enforcement on trumps plan to turn the us into a dictatorship.

    I don’t wish death on him (I don’t think he deserves that) but my not liking him happened before the Nazi solute.

    Even if you took the Nazi solute out, it’s fairly clear he’s not a good person and that Tesla is possibly just a way for him to get rich and get attention these days. He might have cared originally, but I feel any illusion of caring is gone, and he is basically Trump 2.

    He’d happily remove all workers rights if he was in power, and to get back at his ex wives, possibly eliminate women’s rights


  • Last I checked, it was more like 6-8% for UK… So, 6-8 out of 100 customers in that case would slow down everyone’s orders, would reduce the efficiency, increase the business risk and also require a whole bunch of extra procedures to avoid “poisoning” someone. If they’re already overbusy, it’s just costing money.

    In practice, Lactose intolerant also doesn’t mean what you think it does. It simply means they have some kind of negative reaction, and many people are lactose intolerant to a certain degree if you drink enough milk and eat enough cheese. I suspect I am somewhat dairy intolerant, and I still drink milk fairly regularly… So, if those 6-8 percent who are actually considered intolerant, most of them probably don’t care…

    Most people who are considered lactose intolerant can still ingest milk in their coffee though, because its a small amount with no impact. They’re not deathly allergic… Some of them likely also take Enzymes to allow them to digest dairy.

    So, if we’re talking ACTUAL numbers who this affects, its fuck all really, except the ones who are genuinely allergic (and do you really want to be serving hundreds of drinks an hour which look EXACTLY the same to customers who might get seriously sick and sue?)

    Disregarding that, the cafe has clearly calculated the business case, and determined serving oatmilk just isn’t worth it…

    Also, I have noticed at least 1 person in this post repeating brand names, so i almost wonder if some viral marketing is happening here…

    I don’t drink coffee though (it tastes like dogs arse), so I don’t really care though to be honest. And I don’t work in a cafe. The only info I’m working off is off people I know with IBS and dairy intolerance.

    On the other hand, oat milk can be contaminated with gluten too. So, some people who are affected by Dairy, may also be affected by Oat milk too anyway…


  • For extremely busy restaurants / cafe’s where people are already waiting long periods, they probably don’t want to overcomplicate things too, and increase the risk . They’d have to keep 2 different milk frothing machines, and every time a customer got sick, risk getting sued, whilst slowing down the efficiency of orders.

    Whilst it might increase the number of potential customers, in practice, it might only have negatives


  • Not sure about France either. But I believe in UK and Germany it’s less than 10%

    If a cafe or restaurant is already extremely busy with long delays, serving other milk too could slow down service, and they might not even need the business.

    I also know a dairy intolerant person who takes lacteze anyway, so its not an issue for them

    And I know another who just ignores the intolerance, as it’s only a small amount of milk



  • Seems like more a failure of you for not checking if they do oat milk. And they likely do lots of other types of vegan milk as alternatives

    Honestly, the kind of person who gets pissy about this kind of thing, you’re probably better off not having in your restaurant or cafe anyway. Because they’ve probably got a list of food requirements

    I have a friend with actual gluten intolerance, and she stopped telling restaurants about it specifically because otherwise they’d freak out. She’d just order things like minimal gluten and only ask if she wasn’t sure.

    But she’d never ask for substitutions either

    There is no way of knowing how busy this place is. They might be completely full and serving 10 different types of milk might simply slow things down and increase their risk if they accidentally mix the containers


  • They DO though. They sell the default search engine to Google for billions knowing they’re profiting from the ads indirectly… So, they’re really just subcontracting it…

    I was implying the fact that Apple doesn’t need to though, because they monopolise things via the app store, and with other foul play (like requiring additional intervention if you want to run an app from outside the store on Mac). They have full control over monitoring what apps and what kind of apps are popular, so they can target them with their own competitors.

    They also have some fairly hefty requirements from developers, and even try to get a cut of subscription fees despite doing nothing.

    In the case of Pebble as an example, they delayed the pebble app, launched their own watch at the same time, and because they fucked Pebble over, they never stood a chance.

    Just to further things, Republicans have a clear bias. When the head of google was in congress, they weren’t really asking questions, but they were incorrectly stating things like Google was tracking their phone anywhere it moves

    And yet, Apple seems to dodge every single case. They don’t even allow IOS to run on other platforms. Whereas, there are Android phones which are completely degooglified.


  • I won’t be responding again, but you seriously need to consider mental help.

    I’m not sure what else you have going on, but there is clearly a lot happening. You clearly need more hobbies or something

    Seriously, go join a Meetup, go hiking, etc

    You don’t need nicotine to relax. You just need something to distract you. And that’s coming from someone who used to stress every night…

    The way you’re responding is a serious concern that makes you sound like a suicide risk honestly. Maybe you need a change of environment

    My comment was based on the parallels which can be drawn between so desperately needing a nicotine “hit”, that you’re doing it in the least hygenic location, and the similarity with hardcore druggies who snort drugs off the toilet lid, because they can’t wait a few hours…

    It’s further supported by the fact that you’ve flooded this comment 4x, in a way that suggests this isn’t the first time it has been suggested you have a problem… In fact, if anything, it seems you’re trying to justify others being forced to breathe small amounts of nicotine by suggesting everyone has a drug problem anyway.

    Your comment not only has nothing supporting it, but, despite the attempt, doesn’t affect me at all honestly. I run a free hiking group, and the ratings for me as a guide/person are good. I’ve had maybe a grand total of 3 or 4 glasses of drinks this entire year honestly during special occasions, and most events I go to, nobody even drinks anymore (I’m also trying to lose more weight, and alcohol doesn’t help with that).

    Just remember, in 20 years time (possibly when you have cancers discovered to be common with vaping years from now) you’ll never look back at vaping and think it was worthwhile. You need to ask yourself if they’ve ever made your life better, or whether they’ve made tobacco shops lives better only…










  • Except doesn’t this replace their old tool? So, its not really fragmenting anything if its replacing an existing project.

    Fragmentation isn’t great, but it can be beneficial in some cases too. I’ve contributed to a number of projects.

    Over the last 20-30 years, I’ve seen plenty of projects fail, and new ones take over.

    If you take a look at arts/eaudio and the other sound servers of 20 years ago. All failed, because Pulseaudio consolidated and killed them eventually. Now, Pulseaudio is on its way to getting killed by Pipewire. And one could argue its a waste of resources… but, the changeover is actually super awesome (for JACK)

    One other good example of the fragmentation argument was Xfree86. Lots of people argued against Xorg at the time, and ultimately, Xfree86 died ages ago. If you asked me 20 years ago, I would have said KDE was dead, but now Gnome and KDE and carved out VERY different products, that suit very different people. Both are awesome in their own way

    Everyone was freaking out when devFS got deprecated. But, udev was an amazing replacement

    Linux is evolving FAR quicker than Windows or MAC (mac OS has barely changed in a decade). And, many ideas introduced in linux are stolen by Windows and Apple.

    At the end of the day though, sometimes a rewrite is needed of things. What really matters is that it doesn’t fragment the desktop experience (and, it won’t in this case)


  • Rather than downvoting. This is a good teachable moment

    I used to think this way, that it was about efficiency exclusively

    But the reality is, any contribution is better than none, and a lot of these things implemented you don’t really understand how important they are until a while later often

    One consideration also is that Germany is apparently considering to continue their Linux migration, so things like this may also be based on feedback from admins

    Suse has definitely carved their own niche as a Linux distro and it’s actually sad they’re not more successful because a lot of their tools are pretty cool
