Fair enough! But won’t they flip again to start the program?

So, creating a massive headache for government ~15-20 years into the future?

Or what is the point?

MGTOW is absolutely no better.

The most beautiful thing about this program is that it would work.

Various bit flips will once lead to all numbers being in the correct order. No guarantee the numbers will be the same, though…

I’m not aware of how things are on the ground in the US; it’s more of a general perspective not tied to any specific country (which is my separate “meh” about strongly America-centric Lemmy, but it’s very tangential)

But seeing people actually hit the absolute mandated minimum is indeed depressing. I might expect that waiter’s income with tips is normally greater than the federal minimum, so maybe there’s a chance not all waiters will agree to work for that, which should balance it a bit?

If you believe no tipping will leave waiters to starve with no money, that’s not true. The very reason they are so severely underpaid is that restaurants know they’ll get their income from tips.

The less tips there are, the more your employer will have to pay you - in a form of salary that is way more predictable and reliable than tips.

Customers, on their end, will know price in the menu is final, and they won’t add crazy extra just so that they won’t feel like worst people on Earth.

In my country, tips do exist, but you are not expected to leave them by default and it’s totally fine and common not to. The result? Waiters get livable wage and can last a month without ever receiving a single tip (which they actually have, too, from time to time).

I already do, and it’s great!

It’s just that this post evaded all my filters anyway thanks to phrasing :D

I, in fact, do not :)

You’re not, it’s just that sometimes you paste your passwords outside browser, and opening a browser for that is doable, but feels wrong :D

Also, the app has a more convenient layout as it can afford more screen space.

VMWare, GNOME Boxes, QEMU+virt-manager

Personally using the latter, appears to have the best support and more configuration options compared to alternatives, as well as advanced options like GPU passthrough etc, though it has a bit more of a learning curve, and each alternative option should be fine.

My switch to Linux started 1,5 years ago with Manjaro KDE - and since then, I am still a fan of KDE, which is kind of “Windows UI done right” for me. Ergonomic, configurable, consistent. I also find Pantheon, Enlightenment, and Budgie to be cool concepts, but from a practical side, KDE is a no-brainer for me.

Mint comes with Cinnamon by default, and I guess that’s what you’re using. For me, Cinnamon is too old-fashioned, it’s like you’re back to at least Windows 7 timing. Some people like it, but for me it’s just old and out of touch with the progress of UI’s.

GNOME used in Ubuntu is good with app theming (yay for adwaita!), it is unique and minimalistic, but its overall design is just…not for everyone, and customization is heavily tied to unsafe practice of plugins which has been exploited many, many times.

With all that said, try everything out in a VM or something and see what’s good for you. There are really no wrong choices!

The games are good, but studios are often doing trashy moves.

Apex was one of the few top-tier online shooters that flawlessly worked on Linux out of the box. And now the dedicated Linux userbase is here, but the game is not, because apparently Respawn doesn’t care.

Apex was one of the titles that just worked, flawlessly. And I never faced anything that I could attribute to cheats over high skill.

Yes, there was some ALGS drama, but as a regular player, I never faced it.

I fail to see how this is relevant to my comment :D

The point is probably that they don’t have a car to begin with

Congratulations! Hope it goes better and better for you two!

Yes, congratulations!

There is an entire Linux server segment - exploiting Linux can be insanely profitable
