We wanted them to take the boring jobs so we could devote our time to art and leisure, but instead they're creating art and we're still stuck in the boring jobs with no time or money for leisure. 😭

This is so amusing to me, because I had no idea who this Linus was - I was only somewhat familiar with Linus Torvald of Linux fame. I looked up last night just to check that the old Linux nerd wasn't running around stealing water coolers and such.
Extra funny to see a comment the next morning that this Linus knows zero about Linux.
I was so ready to drop $10-15 AUD without a thought, but at $25, I'm sticking with Connect.
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Zone Zone Zone!
We got a Brother laser as well. Only print a few times a year, and the toner is always good to go when it does get switched on. Love my Brother!
Under AUD$2 to AUD$34 is quite the leap, and more than double what I anticipated.
I was very happy to drop AUD$10-15, and I'm aware that what I paid in 20 dickity 13 was a steal.
Quadrupled app costs would have been a bargain in my eyes.
I live outside of a tiny country town in Australia, and local shops literally do not carry many of the sorts of items I need or, yes, want.
I work from home and rarely go into town, so paying twice as much and taking a day out of my life just isn't my bag.
If I can get local and it's not urgent, I will put together a consolidated list and go in some weekend when I have enough to make it worthwhile.
Sure, it probably makes me the devil, but unless I go move to a cabin in the woods and life a self-sustainable lifestyle, I can't realistically avoid supporting some amount of evil just by existing under capitalism.
I try to make good choices where I can, and vote for people who, ideally, could effect real change.
It's two words, but we call them "bloody tourists" in Australia.
We called ourselves that when on our recent outback adventure.
