As one of those "morning people" I would be seriously weirded out if I woke up at 3pm - honestly I'd be really worried if I was drugged or something because waking up after 7am is unusual for me. So to answer your question seriously; it would be to take extra security precautions the next time I fell asleep.

I don't know, you seemed to think I knew about Applebee's earlier, I had to explain I'm in a different country in some way because you didn't pick that up and assumed I was familiar with your local brands. You said "tip generously or stay home", that was what I was responding to, I stand by my assessment that tipping generously seems counter productive, you can choose to make boycotts or lobby your government to make changes in your country but that's none of my business (besides internationalist worker solidarity which can only go so far).

Well there's not much danger of me walking in to an Applebee's, that would involve long and expensive flight.

Well like I said, I'm not American so it's not really my battle anyway. I've only heared about the broken tipping culture in the US, and it always surprises me that threads complaining about it are often still filled up with comments like "but make sure you still tip generously" when that sounds like the most counter-productive thing you can do to deal with the problem. That's the extent of my observation.

In the short term it might, but ultimately the moral burden is on the employers, it shouldn't be pushed on to the customers. Stop going to those businesses is fine as well but I think it would have the same effect.

I'm not praising it, there's a critical mass that communities can grow before it becomes like that and it's interesting that lemmy.world is already hitting it.

How about not tipping? I'm not American so maybe I misunderstand something, but it seems to me the obvious way to get rid of tipping culture is for lots of people agree to not tip - then employers would be forced to increase wages. It's voluntary isn't it?

It was good at attracting Reddit users who still had the Reddit mindset. If we go with the idea (as some have) to push a "simple default instance that we can point everyone to" that's what we'd end up with.

I moved to Beehaw; you don't get to see lemmy.world and you don't get to see downvotes and I think both is an improvement to be honest.

Can you uninstall Chrome?

ChromeOS is Linux is technically correct I would say in the least helpful way possible. Linux but it misses the point.

The site is aboutchromebooks.com, hmm...

He mentioned once that he can use a bank that doesn't use free software because he's not logging in to it to do general purpose computing. I think the same would probably apply to medical treatments.

I had thought of provider myself, people seem to be happy with having an email provider and it's not that different a concept.

The term "store" grates on me a bit, until recently we just called them repositories/repos, I think that's a better name.

I would say that's more of a feature than a bug.

I think I would have more of a problem with the centralisation implied by this proposal than I would with paying for apps; a centralised "store" gives too much power to one organisation - but if you could choose to download one I don't think that's too much of a problem. But then we already have Steam for that.

Hello all good people of Beehaw.

I've just signed up here and thought this would be a good place to break the ice.
