Yes, and me having babies. Linux is literally making me babies!

I really want to and at the same time don't want to know where your name comes from...

I'm thinking koffert straight away

It would be pure guessing, but I'm not so sure iOS preferance necessarily translates to MacOS preferance. Especially with todays prices and interest rates. Again, just me guessing.

I hope Windows keeps making dumb decisions so we can find out though!

It might surprise you to learn that Apple is not dominating the market here, neither in phones or laptops.

When I think about it, I only really know one person with a Macbok and at work, Android is probably 2/3. Source: I’m the IT guy ordering phones for everybody.

We’re quite stupid and easy to influence.

Proof in point: I’ve gone from 0 to 3 Linux machines since joining Lemmy.

Someone send help, please??

Yes the are local. I like supporting locally and ethically sourced as much as possible.

I’ve been reading about people modifying them on forums and briefly considered adjusting, but decided against it. I was only «allowed» this machine because of the nice and easy to use UI. The missus doesn’t share my enthusiasm for playing with minutiae details, so I have to stick with pre weighing beans before grinding and fiddling with my own settings. She wants a full hopper and a button called Americano.

Thanks for the advice and you taking the time though mate!
Out of curiosity; what machine did you end up with?

Right, but there’s nothing immoral about it either.

I live in a place where the rich pay their fair dues to the benefit of the less fortunate. That’s where I think you need to focus on getting, not slandering every successful company out of envy.

Thanks for the chat. You were nothing but respectful. Have a great weekend.

It’s starting to dawn on me that you might be right.

I think I’ll keep trying different beans to test a lot of different coffee before landing on one variety and order that instead.

I’ve gotten a lot of really good advice here today that I’ll use in my future brewing career.

Thanks for taking the time, mate!

Sure, then «attack» the politicians allowing this to happen.

Up corporate tax and income tax for the wealthy.

Don’t attack the companies that play by the rules.

Then what is the point?

Why are they not allowed to create a good service and profit?
Why are the competition unable to take marketshare with lower fees?

It feels as if you have this number, >billion, makes a company evil. Why?

I agree with you that no single person needs a billion, but having earned it doesn’t make them bad. They innovate and move everything forwards. I’d much rather see my money with Valve than with EA, Activision Blizzard or any of the other faceless giants out there.

Ok I just did a quick weight test and the difference is massive!

The store bought beans are marked 6/7 darkness and gave me close to 60 ml of volume.
The subscription without marking gave me <50 ml for the same weight. That's allmost a 20 % difference in weight even though they look very similar!

I'll do another test with an exact number of beans to confirm, but I've learned a lot already. Maybe my 1:3,5 ratio wasn't half bad after all and what to actually expect from such a light roast.

This is cool stuff! Much obliged again!
