It’s a tax thing. If tips aren’t part of the food price, they’re not part of revenue and not taxable. If they are, assuming same compensation as tips would generate, taxes would be higher.

I say put that on the food price. It’s a few cents to the dollar difference. Plus, variations in revenue shouldn’t be a thing an employee should worry about. And obviously it would do away with the whole bartering at the checkout.

Centralized storage of pirated content is a problem. You want p2p to continue, otherwise it’s suddenly very easy to deprive all of those streaming sites of content.

I see a blank map.

Yeah, my experience, too. People hang out with their friends in their friend groups. Just sucks that they don’t seem to mix anymore. Networking doesn’t work if there’s neither opportunity nor interest.

I’m so sad that the meme deteriorated. The original Hooty McOwlface was more complex, but the hivemind made it stupid. Boaty McBoatface should have been e. g. Horny McBoatface.

Well, it turns out they both tell me I’m a little too fat.

That’s every publisher’s wet dream. AI’s almost ready, right?

god I wanna see them fail so badly.

That’s how you recognize bullshit. If there was a kernel of truth worth protecting the offending posts would be removed.

It’s the reason I don’t use share buttons. The YouTube link is clean (afaik, idk if they encode data into the ID) when copying the URL. Same with other services.

holy shit, there’s a part 5 and it’s 40 minutes long and

omg

how did I not know about this??

swim away fugu fish, swim away!

Omg it’s from 2008. Half my lifetime ago.

The internet archive archive. Takes snapshots of the entire archive. It’s unfathomably huge.

Come to think of it, I only know two .su domains and they’re pretty great…

A car is a passable temporary shelter. You’re protected from the elements (in non storm areas, where you fled to previously), you have heating and power (at least for your phone), you have radio, maybe even a screen.

I do the same, but it’s very clear that when people talk about “a VPN” they’re referring to a commercial cloud hosted product.

idk what to tell you, calls have no sound.

I’ll try again, though.

Coincidence: I think not!

Teams calls for example :( I have chromium on my Debian only for teams.

Yeah I agree.

I see potential in a chat bot that can explain concepts and answer questions, supported by illustrations.
