  • Did it as a student job for 3 years. I was paid roughly 50% more than with all other student jobs.

    Honestly collecting garbage is not even that bad. I got paid to do fitness all day, spending time outside while chatting with my coworker. The people sorting the trash, that was who we felt bad for. They had all the downsides of the job with none of the benefits.

    Context: I’m european. I know for sure the people at my local coffee shops are being paid a living wage, cause there’s laws for that.

    Paying your employees a living wage is included in what I see as “a sustainable business model”.

    I know the owner of my local coffee shop personally and while they charge €4 or more depending on the coffee you’re getting AND they roast their own coffee, so they cut down on the bean costs significantly while generating some extra profits as well by selling the beans, they still aren’t “just raking it in” as you make it seem.

    A coffee from a coffee shop definitely should be $4 if you want them to ethically source good coffee and have a sustainable business model.

    There’s still cheap, shitty coffee that’s built on modern slavery there’s always like mcdo. SB is the same quality ingredients but with knowing how to steam milk + syrups

    Did you truly read what I said? The only logical way I can frame your comment is that you glanced at what I wrote down and started writing a reply.

    To a regular average windows user, ubuntu is incredibly complicated. When you learm how it works and how you’re supposed to use it, it becomes incredibly easy. The “hard” part of ubuntu is the paradigm shift from windows to the linux ecosystem.

    Similarly, to an average linux user nixos is “hard” because it does things completely differently from other linux distros. But once you’re used to it, it just makes sense and is easy.

    So the comparison is average windows user -> ubuntu vs average linux user -> nixos. Not average user -> ubuntu vs average user -> nixos.

    Finally: Nixos documentation is IMO 100x better than ubuntu documentation. Whenever I experience any issue with ubuntu it’s easier to just load up the arch wiki and hope it’s similar than it is to try and find anything specific for ubuntu that isn’t either 10 years out of date, a massive gaping security risk or just plain dumb. The nixos wiki may not be perfect but it has always been sufficient for my needs, and I have to run a decent amount of very niche pieces of software.

    It’s incredibly complicated in the same way that ubuntu is incredibly complicated to a lifelong windows user.

    It just requires a bit of a paradigm shift which includes a learning curve but IMO once you’re past that point it’s intuitive and even easier than other distros.
