No need for physical media when it comes to file sharing. But if you really hate the environment so much, I guess yeah... sure, physical media accomplishes something.

So do you feel the naming was inherently misleading which led you astray? Because incognito mode absolutely kept things 'sneaky' in terms of hiding the things I look up from other people who use the same computer. Which is specifically what Google said it would do and showed examples of in TV commercials. And it definitely did (and still does) that.
I'm also struggling to understand what you feel you 'trusted' Google on exactly. What did they tell you that you believed but, as it turns out, was not true?
I can bitch about chrome all day long... but none of that bitching will be about incognito mode as that was and continues to be an useful feature that did exactly what I expected it to do. Everything it said it did, it did.
Just because people made up their own imaginary ideas about what they think it does isn't really Google's fault. If people think snorkels allow them to scuba dive and then drown, I'm not about to blame the snorkel maker that wrote 'diving googles and snorkel' on the packaging.
The amount of words needed to fully explain this to tech illiterate idiots would be so many that those idiots would just argue they cannot be expected to read all of it. These people already do this with the terms + conditions documents they agree to.
Incognito mode did every single thing it said it did and behaved exactly as I expected from day one. Is there a single user here who actually was surprised by how it worked? Did anyone honestly think it was like Tor or something? Why? Where did anyone ever get that idea at all?
I don't believe it was ever called 'private mode', or am I wrong on this?
Which only has value to the corporation if the people driven there watch ads on said page.
Capitalism is the problem with capitalism. And It's not an excuse to be shitty, but the cause itself.
I'm more than happy to not patronize the restaurant if I find the total price is unreasonable and I'm not willing to pay it. Unfortunately, I am only able to do so if someone tells me the total price of the cheeseburger. Why are you so unwilling? This is the third time I've tried to get an answer now.
And I honestly don't think I've ever in my life been to a restaurant where the server made $2.13 or lower, but I have no way of knowing that with certainty. In any case, I'd rather not participate in a system that 'is bad and shouldn't exist' and as you pointed out is discriminatory/racist. And since it's completely optional, the most ethical option for me to take seems the only one that does not encourage the system at all.
But hey, you might just be morally superior to me. Casinos, after all, provide an important and definitely non-exploitative service to society. And those 'customers' definitely owe you a tip.
That all seems a bit much compared to doordash just raising their service fee in order to pay their contractors enough to be willing to deliver orders in this new tipless world, but ok. I appreciate your attempt at answering the question nonetheless. Although it is pretty odd you consider a stable wage, hours and healthcare benefits to be a bad thing. And I still don't understand why employees are willing to piss in bottles to meet quotas and stuff. I wouldn't agree to a job like that. You probably wouldn't either. Especially for the lower pay you described. Unless of course the stability and healthcare benefits made up for it all...in which case it would be a better deal than before.
I'd just like to know the price of a '$10' cheeseburger so I can make an informed decision. You're refusal to state the actual price tells me everything I need to know.
And I'm not buying any of the servers labor, I'm buying a cheeseburger. The only business relationship I have here is between me and the business owner selling cheeseburgers. The only reason I came here is that I'm hungry for a delicious cheeseburger.
Are you really arguing about this from a device produced within a system where people in sweatshops get paid far less than servers and without even any possibility of tips? You must see the irony a bit...or did you somehow tip the sweatshop kids when you bought your phone/laptop? Or did you assume the entire chain of people who produced the device are paid fairly? I mean, sure, maybe they are (as unlikely as that is). But it's going to take a whole lot of research to determine that or even come close to determining.
More than anything, I'd really just like to know how much currency I need to exchange for one cheeseburger listed on the menu for $10... but since the menu can't be trusted. I'm asking, please, how much is that cheeseburger?
No I just memorize all the ones and zeros. /s
But yes, you are correct. I still feel it's important to remind people that the only alternative to streaming isn't like DVDs or vinyl records or something.
