As a poor European:
Coders saying “but me a cup of coffee” for $8.
I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.
That’s $0.40 for a cup.
(Or about 9 beers)

Yes, it tastes a bit earthy to me.
I got a tour of the place where they proudly show these cats in the most horrible conditions. Also, it doesn’t even taste good.
I really doubt that.
Czechia. In many supermarkets “discounts” only apply when you have a card/app. Essentially the “discount” is normal price, otherwise you’ll pay nearly double.
I’m using fake names on all those things, but prices without loyalty are often insane. It’s basically an extra tourist tax.
I rarely use cash. Nearly everything I spend is on supermarket and they know exactly what I buy because we’re forced to use their “loyalty” programs anyway.
Then traveling: dealing with other currencies, coming home with unspendable money. And there’s no interest on cash lying around.
But I hate the tendency for places to not accept cash at all, there should still be a choice.
One bonus is that I keep finding money on the streets in countries that love cash.
A Dutch joke?

Depends where you go. My Czech bank card is a debit card with a number on it that you can use like a credit card. Dutch banks don’t have this and we use different online payment methods. I never really needed a credit card for anything (until I traveled in France) so the price to have one is not worth it.
You’re not supporting development, you’re supporting a rich guy getting richer:
Interesting to note that the Mozilla CEO earned nearly as much ($5.6 M) as Mozilla received in donations ($7 M).

Travel, nothing tech related
Fwiw, my blog’s statistics say Linux is around 10% and I know a lot of browsers identify themselves as running on Windows when they’re not, so I wonder how it’s measured.
The languages I’m most familiar with are quite closely related to English, so I don’t think that’s really the case.
Actually, one thing I can think of is that English trends to aspirate initial stops, which probably makes those clusters harder to pronounce
What’s strange is that many other languages don’t allow words starting with pt- or ps- neither but have no trouble pronouncing Greek loan words that do.
I didn’t downvote but probably people won’t sit through a long video when the points he’s making could be a short list. At least give a summary.
More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.
So make things even harder to find? A classic menu bar is not clutter!
Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.
If you’re thinking what I’m thinking, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with beer.
No, you have to link Google if you want to pay with your phone. But you can also just get their physical card instead.
Of course, but how often would you go to a coffee place? If you work in an office, coffee is usually free anyways.
