If you called a taxi company that didnt do fixed rates you should have looked into them before you called. If you consider a ride “mooching” I would not want to be your friend. If your public transit isnt good enough, call your local reps and COMPLAIN.

Fuck this culture of “tipping”. I wouldnt have to fucking tip if they paid their drivers. Do you tip in cash on Uber? The driver won’t know that until they get there and you just look like a low-pay customer. Do you tip in the app? Congrats, you just tipped uber. The driver may or may not receive it. Do you verify with each driver to make sure they end up getting the money? Uber has obfuscated tipping for drivers FOR YEARS.

And tariffs are for charging the company being imported. They never tried pushing those lost costs onto the customer

They wanted to charge per game sale. It’s not “per download” but it’s close enough for most consumers.

Most of the comments here seem to be talking about the politics of the gender roles, but no one really seems to be mentioning that Uber should only be used as a very last resort. Call a Taxi, a friend, take public transit. Do not support the VC startup trash that doesn’t pay their employees “contractors” living wage.

This isn’t federation, its a bridge. Theres also a bridge for Discord, Telegram and Signal, but none of those are federated either

Element w. Element call is ok. Signal works too

Theyve been around for a few years and I’m still not really impressed. No E2EE, No federation if the people running it go belly up. You might as well use signal ATP.

You think they’ll let you access the account settings to delete the account without scanning your face first?

Yeah I totally hear you on the time thing. I think the stuff on Apple Photos should be relatively easy to import to immich and ente just based on a quick skimming of the guides. But like you said, having to find the time is understandable. I wish you luck on your journey to becoming a real linux boi, lol

Your original example made sense I just wanted to share something in case it was helpful, your new example makes sense too though :p

I’d just like to bring Immich (Self-Hosted) and Ente (Service or Self-Hosted) to your attention as ethical alternatives to Apples walled garden Photo storage. Hope you have a nice day :)

Like I just said, Sceptre does. :P

Thrift stores usually have some older dumb TVs if youre okay with 1080p, and Sceptre still makes dumb consumer-grade TVs if you are willing to shop on Amazon or at Walmart

that’s fair. i apologize for using your brain power for this thing I lacked the ability to use brain power on, LOL

I don’t jump into other peoples lives. The example I gave is something that was brought up in person due to its relation to the conversation being had. I also feel like “shit[ting] all over what little brings them joy” is a bit of an over simplification. If what’s bringing them joy is also indirectly harming them, I feel like it should be discussed provided its on topic and not brought up out of the blue for no reason. To give a very simplistic broad example, asbestos. It was used for years as insulation, and contractors swore by it. New research comes out that says exposure gives you cancer. Do we ignore the fact asbestos gives you cancer, just because people are already using it and find it useful in their workflow? To bring it back to the original example, do we let people who identify as allies and/or queer continue to financially support chick-fil-a just because they can’t easily get a replacement that’s morally sound?

I get it, people should be allowed to enjoy their hobbies, their indulgences, and their worldly surroundings. I don’t disagree with that. People who bring up the fact that sometimes those things may be harmful and alternatives should be found should not be shamed though. That is unless they’re being a dick about it, or bringing it up constantly to the same person who doesn’t want to hear it. In which case, queue the definition of insanity script.

edit: thinking about it, you probably were talking about people on the fediverse doing this out of turn and not the example I was thinking of.

In the linked post, I can definitely agree that a lot of people here seem to be arguing in bad faith, and Ive seen it from various instances, not just the tankie traid (although I won’t deny they are a part of it). For myself, I dont know how to tell the “subtle” trolls apart from people who are really just misinformed. I dont like assuming everyone knows everything and is purposefully trying to get a rise out of me. I do know I sit and think before I post, and sometimes I’ll write a post or a comment, and sit on it and end up deleting it because I feel it isnt worth having to interact with someone who could be trolling, but I feel like I still end up arguing with people who are as the OOP put it, arguing in bad faith, talking in absolutes, and calling for violence. I dont really know how to approach it because I do use reporting sometimes, although 9 times out of 10 it feels like nothing comes of it. Just a shitty situation.

I have like $10.52 in my checking acc right now, but am still currently federating and have been for like 3 months, specifically the social-app and the PDS.

in my experience bsky is very in-fighty. Its a lot of leftists v liberals

i comment a lot and its a 50/50 on if people hate the comment or think Im normal

I kind of hate to agree with you. I’m huge anti-apple but for mobile UI they just have it hammered down. Leave the Settings alone though… I tried to use the iOS Settings app one and was completely lost
