Just want to add this comparison between Google Maps and OpenStreetMap. Google Maps is definitely better in some areas and OSM is better in others.

Completely agree! For myself, I really miss the film/videography subreddits. There are two or three here but there’s only a handful of people and they seem dead.

I do wish some of the more niche communities I followed were more active on here though

This. I have a few communities on Reddit that I loved browsing that seem to be a lot more niche and quiet here than what I was used to. Would be nice to have them here as well.

I've noticed two things.

1. I am a lot more active. On Reddit I was mostly just a lurker. On Lemmy I want to comment and post.
2. Following on from 1. It feels more like a community here, on Reddit after a post had a certain number of comments/upvotes, I knew that mine would never be seen. I don't have that feeling on Lemmy.

alt frontend if anyone wants

Been using them for 2 years now, I’ve got nothing negative to say. Really happy with their service

Can you share the dot files? I want to use your rofi config

What’s the issue with Pop? I’ve never had issues with it.

There seems to be a recent initiative to introduce a universal income (read here & here) but it’s minimal.

This shows what you could get with the grant.

This. I use floorp for work and Firefox for personal stuff.

So is it customary to tip the person doing the bagging?

When I was in South Africa, this wasn’t very common. I suppose you could tip them but there isn’t a very big tipping culture there.

Or maybe a designated bagger will do it faster, resulting in less wait times?

Personally, I’ve never thought that having a designated bagger was that much faster (by themselves). Sometimes you’d see someone helping the bagger, this would be faster.

But how does this person provide any value though?

It’s not necessarily about the value they provide. Since unemployment is so high, if you can create extra jobs, the business will do it. When I left, unemployment in my province was at 50%.

It’s the same for self checkout. You could easily do it yourself but you’d lose out on potential jobs (bagger and cashier). This article is really good at showing why these systems are the way they are.

I can’t speak for the US, but in poorer countries (like my home country of South Africa), it’s common for someone to bag your groceries. The simple reason is because it provides extra jobs at the store. It’s the same for filling your car with petrol.

I think I use voicemail maybe once a year. I’ll just use whatever is the default

We had this taught to us in school due to a drought. Quite a funny scene seeing a super serious teacher saying that in front of 850 teenage boys.

I haven't looked at them recently, definitely need to give them another look.

That’s why I thought I’d ask here as well.

That’s good to know, thank you!

If I remember correctly the shipping was really high when shipping to the EU. Might be different now, I’ll take a look again.

This isn’t something I really thought about but it’s so true. For the most part, we only use public transport to get to gigs in Ireland. You’ll have a couple that are further out (think small holdings/farms) but generally you’re close enough to a bus or train.
