When I am asked for tip when purchasing bread at a bakery, I put no tip. Why would I tip for a service interaction that lasted 28 seconds? "Id like some bread please. here you go, its x$. beep thank you have a great day"

I ordered take out pizza once, the prompt said 18, 20 or 30%. If they had kept reasonable options maybe I would have CONSIDERED tipping. But the fact that the suggested tip amount was 18% just made me say nope you get nothing. And the service was pretty bad as well soo.... At this point I don’t care if I get bad looks from the employee

i think its the kind of scenario where if they simply kept the regular options of say 10, 15, 18% more people would be inclined to tip because the action of asking for a tip wouldn’t seem so greedy. Its like they forget that a tip is OPTIONAL and normally it should be given only if the service was exceptional, as a "thank you for going above and beyond to make us happy"

and dont get me wrong, Ive worked at a restaurant and I got part of the tip money, it was really cool because it paid much more than any other minimum wage job I could have found while in high school. But you also have to understand that the waiters at the place I worked at made up to 45$-50$ an hour during the summer (thats about 35$ an hour of tips, + the base tip minimum wage of about 10$). In my opinion tipping should only be given when the service is exceptional and especially when the workers are on tip minimum wage, and not the regular one

EDIT: HAHAHA I just read the last paragraph of the article:

Karen Kho, owner and operator of Empire Provisions and Lil' Empire Burger in Calgary, says on the whole, customers have been more conservative with their money as of late. That's been reflected both in the tip amounts left, and in their general purchasing habits.

But if consumers are really feeling stretched by the rising cost of everything, Kho said moving away from tipping might not be the best solution. She said if her staff weren't helped out by tips and she had to pay higher wages instead, she'd need to raise prices by about 15 to 20 per cent — a standard tip amount — anyway.

So basically she's saying that her minimum wage workers (I highly doubt a burger place has waiters on the tip minimum wage) will have to increase the COSTS by 20% as if 100% of the money generated by sales was going into the salaries of the workers... Why did this even make it into the article?? Yeah for sure your employee going from 15$ to 20$ (100% estimation on the numbers btw) per hour totally justifies raising the prices by that much

Yes. This 1000x. I hate it at work when I come across code that was written 3 years ago that has literally no traces of why it's there and a quick summary of what it does. Especially because that code is always the most abbreviated spaghetti you've ever seen. People should stop thinking (their) code documents itself because 99.999% of programmers cannot do it right.

I really like the Google way of coding: assume the person reading the code is the most 1337 programmer ever, BUT that this person knows absolutely nothing about the project

You've perfectly captured twitter tech bro energy it's kind of incredible actually

At least that's actually easy and quick to do and is the only way of doing it. Centering a div however has 81639393 ways and it seems the one that works is different every time

At first I only noticed the indent. Wtf

Yeah they probably just use a 20 years old out of date system (like any government agency that respects itself) that doesn't take into account that maybe a car doesn't have a driver

I'd love to see that happen

I think the issue is theres no specific person or driving license, purely by speculation

Update on this: This is an issue in Mutter, and Robert Mader has started work on a fix for GNOME 47. The issue happens due to GTK and Mutter doing scaling differently and them not being in sync (the issue only appears in Nightly)

likely content blockers preventing the trackers from working properly and invalid user agents. So i would expect about the same ratio of usage on there as well. Maybe very slightly more Linux since maybe the users are more likely to tinker with their browser configs and install content blockers, but even there Id say its an extremely slim minority of even linux users who do that

StatCounter also sometimes miscounts when new versions of windows or macos come out. At one point (I think at windows 11 release) there was a huge dip in windows 10 users and a huge gain in "unknown" and it was quickly fixed.

That's electron for you!

I've found tuxedo to be quite expensive compared to their competition, namely Slimbook. Definitely look at their website, you will likely find the same computer over there as well since they are not custom designed laptops

I think it's fine because the recording is not saved unless you explicitly tell it to save. If it's anything like Nvidia's shadow play, you set an amount of time, say 5 minutes that it keeps in memory, and when you save the clip, it simply saves that file containing the last 5 minutes.

I have seen reports of Firefox crashing under Wayland and that the way to make it work was to disable Wayland in Firefox or iirc to add a kernel parameter. Maybe it was fixed in Firefox too, but I saw some people saying the flatpak was somehow now affected (?)

Oh, I hear there are some pretty major issues with Firefox and explicit sync on Wayland. Does anyone know if fedora will have patches to make sure everything works fine when it releases to rpmfusion? If not then I might wait a bit...

POG

The battery state should be controlled by the firmware, which is independent of the installed OS, so a calibration should not be needed

Mostly that they are generally made of cheap/very thin materials. They also kind of look like cheap Chromebooks (especially clevos, tongfang are better in this area). And it's also the fact that these laptops aren't really unique at all, they are mostly a logo swap with preselected components guaranteed to work with Linux. I've been using this Lenovo laptop that has a fantastic screen and an amazing CNC aluminum body, it works flawlessly and Linux support was never a consideration for them making this PC

If I am buying a laptop i want it to be unique, because if it's not then I'll just buy it straight from China on clevos website for half the price. What I don't like is this is basically drop shipping but less consumer hostile

In over 3 years of daily flatpak use (of multiple apps) I've never had a single reliability issue with flatpak, the only ones being caused by me because I was trying out settings in flatseal that the app didn't like. On the flip side I've found native packages to be broken more often than not, with .Deb files sometimes just not working and throwing an error or something. Package managers are better for sure but I've had dependency issues that I have never experienced with flatpak.
