I just don’t feel comfortable building a robot army here, and then being ousted

Why would you ever have any control whatsoever in the first place? Do other arms manufacturers have a control for their missiles?

did you know you can run pipewire as a system daemon instead of per user?

Get a headset which uses a usb dongle bypassing bluetooth entirely

How

You said no airbags and then asked if it could pass modern standards. No of course not if you crash at speed you are dead

Let's go through it

...I understand how you could get there.,,,

Yes stealing

Prices have swung so wildly in the US in 2025 it’s basically unmanageable without a dedicated team.

Like a calculator and a spreadsheet?

You can either try to recalculate all of that every week or two based on tariffs, inflation, bird flu, etc… then reprint and spiral bind 50 to 100, 11-page menus (technically 6 laminated front and back).

You don't actually do this. Nobody does this. What a sandwich costs isn't exact cost + a certain number of pennies its what people in the area are willing to pay for a sandwich. Cost is a floor and what planet earth does in case of uncertainty is build in a cushion. It is what everyone is obviously doing.

Or you can try to guestimate a number you think you and your customers can live with and distribute your gains and losses across the whole menu and reprint one page with a fee (hopefully) once.

Everyone is guestimating all the time in small business and they do so by setting the actual price to a higher figure. If you want to do so across the board you do so by literally making that the new menu price. The entire reason not to is to gain additional business because your business looks cheaper on its face by dishonestly marking it a separate fee. There is no justification other than dishonesty for making it a separate fee and it should be illegal.

I’d personally weigh whether I think this place and the people who run it are maliciously trying to exploit me

Increasing the price whilst printing a lie on the menu board is always maliciously exploiting you. This is like you asking if keeping the box the same size and putting at first 10 20 and ultimately 33% less shit in the box was maliciously exploiting you.. Are you that fuckin dense?

You are making excuses < ME

But I did address the nice round number thing. Very directly. I also absolutely did not make an excuse for it

Literally you are sitting here explaining why they somehow need to exploit you

Examine the argument.. Turn it sideways... Shove it where the sun doesn't shine. You ARE obviously making excuses. There is no complexity to it.

I read it I believe its transparently excusing obviously manipulative behaviour. I didn't not read you nor misunderstand I disagree now stop your whining

You don't have to recalulate the prices per week and there is no indication that they are doing that with the fees which they appear to have changed once with a nice round number.

You are making excuses for what is obviously a deceptive tactic. Blow smoke elsewhere

Public transit is 1000x more useful it serves people of all physical ability and age is 1000x safer and actually gets used by a substantial majority where its useful in design and capacity

The average us commuter drives 30 minutes or rodes transit an hour one way half travel longer.

Few people are likely to want to commute the distance people actually commute in the US in best conditions and people live so far out largely because its what they can afford to do.

Add in poor conditions and even nearlyall the minority with short commutes is out because they don't want to be sweaty and gross or uncomfortable all day at work.

Bikes are a garbage solution to commuting. Public transit and more affordable housing where people work is the actual solution.

That doesn't make it a dark pattern. Anything you don't like isn't a dark pattern. Even many people not liking something doesn't make it a dark pattern. It's not manipulating you to do something against your interest

Have you considered that just "reaping old process IDs" wasn't enough responsibility for an init daemon on a secure, robust system? That maybe it should be protecting other parts of the system and tracking the liveness of a desired service?

What is the benefit of specifically doing that in init?

If I see an argument like this then I can only assume the interlocutor doesn't do software engineering.

Its more likely that the user simply has simple needs like running stuff at startup which any init system can do and doesn't see as much benefits as poster.

Also who loves systemd-resolved?

This isn't a dark pattern and you are slightly deranged. A dark pattern is a type of design that tricks, coerces, or manipulates you into acting contra your own interests.

Its crap like making a service easy to sign up for but damn near impossible to cancel not anything that you don't like.

No. The loss from ridiculous misuse insofar as food (not soda) is small but meaningful and basically worth nothing because typically "exposure" isn't worth anything whatsoever. Worse it might convince some other assholes with the same strategy to specifically target your joint magnifying their loss.

It's funny that you who have run nothing know better than every company.

Well two things can be true

They are a huge racist and a MAGA and trolled you

He's a huge racist and a trump loving MAGA. He isn't getting hatemail for not liking Linux

You responded to a reasoned analysis with a cheap emotionally manipulative pile of shit. I realized anything else would purely be restating my positions which you already ignored and didn't speak to wasting my time so I decided to stop engaging and block you after this post because you literally have nothing to say that anyone would benefit from reading.
