It's all isolated in a single directory, though, right? I set it up ages ago, but my recollection is that it installs itself in ~/invoke on Linux and stays contained there.

I can't even figure out how one would install Noiselith. It has some text that says "Download for free on your PC", but it's not a button or a link. Maybe they're doing some weirdly locked-down user-agent sniffing a

Eh, gaslighting specifically refers to trying to make someone question their own perception and judgement of reality. Sounds more like he was presenting different versions of reality to different people, which is manipulative and dishonest

Is this really that surprising of a behavior, though? PHP apps threw away state after each request, and in the Node.js world data doesn't persist across server restarts or across instances of the app. The only way I could see someone b

Is there a problem with counting software updates as recalls? I like the idea of penalizing manufacturers for frequent software updates: they either mean that there are frequent safety issues addressed after manufacturing (so calling them r

It's not that simple. If I go to a restaurant and order at the counter tipping is typically considered to be entirely optional, in spite of the fact that the PoS system would like you to think it isn't. Then there's the whole

This is a pretty privileged take. Not everyone who can afford to buy Subway for lunch can afford to pay 15% more for it. Tipping has become contentious lately because it's been asserting itself as an opt-out part of every Square checko

I don't know why you're bringing California into this. I don't live there, and TFA takes place in Austin, TX.

No, I agree with your last point. I think the system sucks, but it's not fair to hurt the victims even more. That said, I still think this movie theater is particularly shady on the tipping spectrum. The article calls out a family&#x27

Sure, in situations where tipping is factored into the wage, if you use a service you should tip. I get around that by mostly avoiding such services. But the situation here isn't a clear-cut case like a sit-down restaurant where tippin

I'm not saying upfront pricing would survive in a free-for-all laissez-faire economy, I'm saying that it ought to be required because it is better for consumers. They pick based on the advertised price because hidden fees and cu

The concrete example (with photo) that he gave of a bad tip was this: > On Christmas Day a family bought over $100 worth of tickets and food two days after Christmas. I don't know how this family received their food, but it almost c

In which case, the movie theater may have to switch their wage calculations to actually pay these people for the work they're doing. The up-front price for tickets might need to increase, but that's preferable to the weird layers

My first thought was similar, but in the opposite direction: the data collected by a non-local camera in a refrigerator (coupled with WiFi network details for location info) is something that Walmart and friends would pay a lot of money f

Yeah, like I said, for some projects I could see it being a net positive: using GPL almost certainly increases the ratio of contributors:users, which reduces the burden on the maintainer. If the maintainer is fine with the now-limited reach

What have you seen that would lead you to believe that? My own experiences with open source suggest that no one would stick around for very long if they were motivated by fame or wealth. Being a FOSS maintainer seems to be a constant exerci
