I loathe how overpriced coffee chains are.
Even the Indian ones, like Cafe Coffee Day.

One tiny coffee costs some ₹350. :blobcatgoogly: That's like ₹40 per sip 😬

They don't even focus on the quality of food. Shitty portion sizes and shittier taste.

And the icing on the cake is that they want you to download their stupid apps, and share all your data with them so they can do their stupid personalisation.

I do like Chai Point, though! I can get a little tea for ₹23 :blobcatgiggle: And Chayoos too! And they got Free high-speed wi-fi! :amaze:

@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

Let's spin a tale about our clothing, as they tell a story interwoven with identity, class, and self-expression. We'll unravel the stained truth about fashion’s impact and stitch together a future that mends our broken connections.

There's talk of a #doge #stimulus with an income minimum

It won't be to help those most in need

It will be to pad the pockets of those who most profit from #consumerism

It may be said that the #middleclass can't help those in need, because so much already goes to supporting #capitalism

Then stop

Engage in mutual survival, not feeding the machine

The machine that continues to bring poverty & death to families such as #SabiLewSounds & family

Has anyone written about the weird humanization of brands/companies on social media and how a bunch of these companies interact with each other?

I know it’s been happening for a while but things have gotten so much weirder and it’s happening so much more frequently. Had to research something on threads and that’s like all I saw.
