Is there some law that every modern musician has to cover Wham’s song? Because it sure seems that way.

Sure, because everybody who owns a computer, tablet, or smartphone is a web dev. Obviously.

Well, I guess they managed to achieve their goal of copying Elon.

That would be nice if the instance wasn’t always overloaded. Ended up blocking the Piped link bot because of it.

So… what if a news article links to a toot or Lemmy post? They’re most likely to link to the instance that the post was submitted from, and most people aren’t going to understand that they have to go search for the post from their home instance if they want to like, vote, reply, or retoot. Email made sense to people because it is basically all direct messaging, but public linking from articles and such is going to be difficult.

I think it needs more jpeg

Pretty much, but I have no idea who the tip is going to in that case. Last time it happened to me, there was no button to not leave a tip. The options were 20%, 25%, 30%, and Custom, with 25% as the default. I had to hit Custom and type 0.00.

Tipping culture and living wage are not the same thing at all. It’s the owner’s responsibility to pay a living wage.

Plenty of places, even in retail and food service, pay a living wage without resorting to using the registers to beg.

And this, folks, is why tipping culture continues to get worse.

Yeah, it’s happened to me a couple of times.

I worked in food service and retail for a long time, not tipped. The idea that I have to leave a tip for putting my stuff in a bag and handing it to me is ludicrous to me. Employers can pay less because they can tell new hires they get tips.

Business owners need to pay their damn employees and stop using the registers to beg customers for more money.

Just wait until you get a tip prompt on a self-checkout kiosk.

And then have the media (Wall Street Journal and Readers Digest especially) tell everybody that yes, tipping everybody everywhere is the new normal and we need to get used to it.

I’ve gotten into so many arguments on Facebook with people who tip their mechanics and doctors. People are eating this shit up.

Like water for chocolate

Blows my mind how many conservatives think net neutrality is a bad thing just because the TV told them it’s bad.

None of them can even tell me what the hell net neutrality even is.

I did. I deleted my Reddit account on July 2. I was using Lemmy.world as my main since the middle of June, but lately I’ve been using this instance because of lemmy.world’s constant issues.

I refuse to use the official Reddit app, and while Narwhal is fine and all, it seems like any third-party app’s days are numbered, whether they pay up or not. And while spez said Old Reddit isn’t going anywhere, he also said he wasn’t going to copy Elon.

Crowder’s a piece of shit who doesn’t even practice what he preaches.

Well, Biden says racist stuff all the time, so… I guess?

Spez said they’re not killing Old Reddit, but he also said they weren’t going to pull an Elon either.

Since deleting my account on July 2, I just don’t care enough about Reddit to create a burner account or download their app.
