There are far too many loopholes for me not to hate companies be they small or large.

In Australia, “family trusts” are a sure way to write off a good chunk of your expenses (groceries, fuel and so on) while paying yourself a wage. If you really want you can cook the books taking cash sales for yourself too.

Don’t forget about “taking” whatever you want from the company, and writing that off as a loss.

Maybe I should hate people, but in a vacuum people are reasonable, logical and honorable. But once we introduce a “well maybe” or an “but what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking?” my view of people becomes skewed.

I guess, I wanted to vent about how fucked everything seems to be and that I feel powerless to do anything about it. GameStop as a company probably deserve the rocks in boxes, Amazon deserve them too, all because people are running those companies.

I’m not above greed, but I’d like to think / feel that I put out more than I take and it seems quite uncommon in our modern society.

There is an android version: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/io.freetubeapp.freetube

However I prefer Grayjay: https://grayjay.app/

Ahh yeah the price is a waiting game for me, Apple products hold onto their value and for me having the bleeding edge isn’t what I’m chasing these days.

Guess I’ll wait and see how the Qualcomm products go on the used market for their price.

I got my 4800hs for a steal; maybe I need to aim lower.

Linux on Qualcomm laptops really that bad? I’ve been considering a purchase of a 1st gen once the 2nd gen comes out (probably grab an ex display model on the cheap).

I’ve not been following developments closely enough, but I know the battery life (in windows at least) is tiers better than my current 4800hs / 1650 with 65% battery health.

I’ve too considered a MacBook, but their never within my budget for the spec that I want, guess I was too hopeful about Qualcomm laptops 😞
