It’s not a privilege. It was standard before those shitty delivery services appeared. You should have higher expectations instead of considering poor service as standard and defend venture capitalists that exploit both the people ordering and the people making the deliveries.

Once translated: “ugh, those fucking idiots”.

In my native language: “ah les osti d’épais”.

i don’t know what universe people are living in where their take out doesn’t have to be re-heated. mine always does.

Pre gig economy?! I can easily remember the 90ies and early 2000 when restaurants had their own drivers and the food you ordered was still hot when it got to you.

Also, my food is still hot when I just “deliver it from myself to myself”.

also i think anyone who expects delivered food to be hot and ready to eat is entitled AF.

I think anyone who expects delivered food is lazy AF. I do it maybe once a year when I have friends over, but I also make sure to order from a restaurant with its own drivers, and avoid any venture-capitalist-gig-economy app. The other times, I just get off my fucking ass and go grab something at the restaurant. Plus, I live in a tower and most of those app drivers will not come up to my apartment. They just leave the food in the lobby downstairs. IMHO, Doordash/UberEats and all those are absolutely not worth it.

I don’t know where you live but my sister insists that we order with Doordash here in Canada and it’s much more expensive than just going to the restaurant. Plus, the food is cold and there’s an error with the order most of the time. It really sucks and I hope she would stop wasting her money on that.

A few years ago I would have said they are useless but I ended up buying one for my off grid cabin in winter and I like it.

I have solar panels and batteries with a small 500w inverter in the cabin and the setup works very well in summer for my usage. However temperature averages in January here are around -10C and the batteries get too cold to charge them. Also there is generally not much sun in winter anyway.

So I bought a small generic power station to bring there and it’s excellent for my needs. It lights up the place and charges my laptop and phone.

To be fair it’s kind of overkill because my laptop and phone can be charged from a hefty power bank using PD.

I have an old Realme GT NEO 3 with the stock ROM. There was no LineageOS ROM for it when I got it but there’s been one for two years now, so I may give it a try eventually.

The camera is not good but apart from that, it works. I have Google apps installed on this one and use mainly Gmail and Maps. Maps is shitty but I also use openstreetmaps on the web through Firefox. I don’t have the YouTube app and watch videos in Firefox, with uBlock Origin, Sponsor Block and Video Background Play Fix. I tend to use the websites, or FOSS apps if possible through F-Droid. No weather app, I just go on the website with ads blocked. But I don’t mind paying for some apps that I use if they are useful and don’t have ads. Ads are the devil.

And my backups are simple, using FolderSync connecting via SSH on my headless Orange Pi.

My previous microwave oven had a mute button. That thing stayed permanently silent. Unfortunately I have never found a new model that can be muted.

Cue a Technology Connection video about how old microwave ovens were better.

Cycling on rail trails and long isolated bike paths. Getting from A to B without burning any fossil fuel. I live in an archipelago and pull my inflatable kayak to the river and the lakes nearby using a bike trailer.

Mild guess. The dev(s) don’t know about navigation buttons. Gestures have been “standard” for a while now so maybe someone forgot about this as a possibility?

The English speaking world should be isolated. Rupert Murdoch made it sick.
