I love the track pads. They make navigating desktop mode actually bearable. With some qol tweaks to the mapping, I find them downright enjoyable to use.
Without them the deck wouldn’t feel nearly as standalone-capable. Hardly any application in games that don’t need a cursor though, I’ll give you that for sure.
The comic assumes that you could ONLY be the laborer. It’s ignoring the fact that no one is stopping you from making/buying something and selling it for a profit.
I’m a bench jeweler and I know plenty of other craftspeople who make a whole-ass living off selling shit they made for more than labor/materials cost. The fact that an employer will take advantage of you isn’t a failing of capitalism, it’s a facet of human greed that will permeate any economic/political system.
imo solid tabletops are much better for pizza making. i’ve worked at a few places and in practice those pans get ACTUALLY cleaned much less often than a regular ass table does.
God that looks delicious, I know what I’m doing for dinner!
