If we all participated in a “tip strike” and stopped leaving tips, the front of the house staff that relies on it would quit. Eventually the restaurant owners would have to do something about it.

Unfortunately, it seems like the owners would rather add a gratuity fee than rise prices on the menu and pay a decent wage.

One can hope though that eventually, tipping would go away. Sorry bar tenders and servers. Some of you may struggle but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make meme

I found a comfortable way to listen to music without torrenting. It relies heavily on a private company though, Bandcamp.

I spend $20 a month in albums and other than that listen to their shows and recommendations. I can’t pay for everything so I set a cap per month. I decided not to be 100% in control of what I listen to by listening to their radio shows (usually featuring an interview with an artist).

I’m slowly growing my private music library. Wish I had a friend or two to help. I’m happy to be supporting artists.

What makes you say that?

what have I done??

can’t deal with other people’s judgement today

I agree with you. I was playing Hades earlier and it’s very pixelated on the TV… Oh well. Maybe I’ll get the steam machine and will sell the Deck. Well shall see.

Double Ended Florida. Is it ribbed? Does it have a bidet?

It’s called the steam deck + dock and it costs $800 at least.

Wow, poking the anti-AI and the anti-car people — not realizing that Venn diagram is concentric circles. (Intentionally using — just like my AI overlords)

The art doesn’t fully represent the holey trinity

Well they could do it the right way where, for example, you go to your city hall to get a certificate of age where they check your ID. Then some cryptography happens so you only enter a public key from that certificate on a website or OS to verify your age.

The website or OS doesn’t check your ID. City hall doesn’t know your browsing history.

But I’m not fooling myself, that’s not the point of such a law.

I always wonder how much of Lemmy is just bots. Am I blissfully alone interacting with the machine? Or are you weirdos actually real?

Don’t jinx us… we’re in the middle of a war, there are new tariffs every other day. I’m sure something could happen to the controllers supply chain.

I’m thinking of a scenario of a dying family member and not being able to make it to them before they pass away.

Flying isn’t just for business or tourism. But at the same time, people have had the luxury to be able to live far in distance from their families and friends, because it might just be a short flight away.

In California, I’ve heard of people working in Silicon Valley and living in Burbank, flying every day to go to work or maybe twice a week.

That luxury needs to stop. But it should not happen all of a sudden.

Anything is a sex toy if you are brave enough

Meanwhile I’m like pi=355/113 and I’m 99.9999% happy.

I’m thinking about the people like me who have a Steam account, want this controller, but would also love to use it at our friends’ places where there’s just a Switch 2 or a PS5.

For compatibility, I’m better off using 3rd party controllers.

The real pro tip is always in the comments: bring your dog on a hike for impromptu bbq

Other options:

• Tuta for email
• CoMaps for maps and directions on your phone
• Nextcloud for self hosted cloud and pictures
• ublock origin and sponsor block to browse YT in a non chromium browser.

I’m sorry to i form you that they plan to have a majority of their business revenue come from their AI division, not their satellite division and definitely not their rocket division

Ok but how are they going to deal with the fact that LEO in their personal civilian cars are the ones speeding and going through red lights with impunity?
