  • That’s also why Trump was so effective at getting votes.

    It’s a lot harder to argue when you’re following laws and being honest. You’re at a severe disadvantage (same as Kamala)

    Trump doesn’t care about the truth, he doesn’t care about law, and because he KNOWS he can’t pardon himself for state crimes (like tax fraud in New York), despite being president, he WILL likely go to prison after his term. There is NO incentive for him to do whats right, and everything he does at this point, is driven by keeping himself out of prison.

    For anyone else, civil war would be terrible. For Trump, starting a civil war means he can claim its “war time” and postpone elections. We’ve already seen how low he’s planning to stoop to.

    Just a heads up. BrainInaBox is banned off many servers… And, they claim everyone except themselves are genocidal.

    Meanwhile in my case, an admin told me that BrainInABox also tries to report people/comments they disagree with too to try to shut shut down discussions hoping that the reports wouldn’t be properly reviewed (like a fascist). You’ll see a trail of moderated comments behind BrainInABox as server admins delete them…

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve already reported you too. And in my case, they tried to defend their fascism.

    Basically, just let others know when you see others argue with them (to save them time). It’s not a serious discussion. Just a troll…


  • 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









  • 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
