    From my personal experience, scanning things by yourself instead of more experienced cashier is somewhat slower (maybe 20-40% for large amounts?) for reasons you provided. The thing is, you don’t have to replace one cashier with one self-checkout, instead you may put like 5 of them and assign one employee to supervise them and solve things that need intervention like verifying age. Also when not in use (low amount of customers) they probably cost tiny fraction of employee’s wage. Idk about thefts though.

    Almost 30 here, can relate. Still have no clue what the hell I am, what I really want to be myself and what and who I’d like to see around. Though as time goes, the less I really want or care to figure those out, so… Ughh.

    Well, if you put them right in the normal outlet you bypass breaker and built in fuses, if breaker is open. If it is closed, then it maybe should pop if whole net outside house consumes more current than your house is allowed to (so maybe immediately), but still provides no protection inside. Or maybe if you have individual low-current rated breakers for every outlet, then yes, in this specific scenario it should technically work. Still, you know, generally bad idea.

    Wait but hear me out. Imagine big genius scenario where you intentionally order something else counting on waitress getting it wrong so you end up getting exactly what you [secretly] wanted. Outsmarted outsmarting

    My story I guess.

    For a long time (until end of 2023) I used ahoy Win7 on cheap 2012 laptop (2-core 1500 MHz 6GB RAM), and influenced by mentions of Linux efficiency tried dualboot installing Arch, Manjaro, Ubuntu, maybe even Mint. Also much earlier (maybe 2009?) couple of times tried Puppy Linux on CD my dad gave me a long time ago. Ubuntu stuck, and sometimes I primarily used it, returning to Win to games (my major use case for PC). So when I finally built an actual PC I was already familiar enough to try and actually commit and install Ubuntu as sole OS. And it kinda just worked. Probably important thing is CPU and GPU used are both AMD.

    Yes there are some quirks, some bugs (i.e. sometimes frozen apps in Wayland lock whole system, or still don’t know how to get screen recording to work properly), also that snap drama I don’t understand, also trying to use some things from Windows through Wine is pain in the ass and a huge timesink (and no guarantee it’ll eventually work), specifically modding software for Win-only games. But generally, thanks to Wine and Proton, and probably also more attention of gamedevs to Linux userbase, my gaming needs are covered.

    Also I joined Lemmy during big Spez drama, so I’ve had general influence of “another example of Win enshittification”.

    Also my sister has Win10 laptop, and I really don’t like some things like integrated in start menu internet search, or clusterfuck the Control Panel (where are all settings should be) has become.

    A lot of ‘Also’ here, sorry.
