I've checked the channel and the average views of his recent videos. Now I count about 4 videos about LTT with higher view count. This guy I've never heard of before today, is milking the situation on the expense of LMG and Madison.
I don't understand how @7heo@lemmy.ml can tolerate this video, but not a screwdriver review.
some brands use slave labor or child labor, some brands use toxic chemicals, some brands destroy our environment
That's a stance I can only admire, but you're basically removing any decently priced piece of technology from your life, starting from the iPhone.
We can totally buy fair stuff made 100% in America which costs probably 5x the price of the same article built in China, but for a lot of people, the wallet is a higher priority if they have to choose between being ethic or buying food for their family.
Frequent flyer for the last 20 years. It wasn't normal at all until a few years ago. You just validated this whole thread.
If you're flying as a family or with friends, some cheap airlines actually "randomly" puts your seats all across the airplane if you don't buy the seats.
Well, luggage is weight, and weight means more fuel burned. That's not the scam.
The scam is advertising your plane ticket as $20 cheaper than the competition with luggage included, and then make you pay $30 for the luggage at checkout.
Diamonds were fairly rare when we used to mine them in Asia and America. And it's a nice shiny stone which is also very durable.
Then, we found out Africa is actually full of diamonds and DeBeers said "we can't have that!" and started buying all the African diamonds to keep them away to artificially inflate the price and scarcity.
Then we found out we can make them in labs better than the mined ones and DeBeers sai "that's not a natural diamond, you don't want that!" and so on.
The whole marketing about "A diamond is forever!" is to make you think you'll never want to sell your diamon ring, so you don't find out your precious gift paid $2,000 is actually wortth $50.
An EA spokeperson would say "it's all about the experience".
God I hate Docker. It's a great system for lazy devs to NOT learn how to deploy software.
(I love LXC containers and QEMU, tho)
I'm humbled by your well documented reply. I can't argue with that. Yours is probably the only one comment I've learnt something of.
In houses, yes. But public fountains I've found in Germany have often the sign Kein Drinkwasser on them. Meanwhile in Switzerland, almost every public fountain is 100% safe to drink.
Things maybe have changed in the recent years, I see you're on a German instance and I guess you're German, so I trust your statement more than mine as a foreigner.
Yes but... why?
