Doesn't it ever happen that tipped staff end up having a "shitty" shift (say hours of the day where fewer customers are here) and end up working for nothing? I have heard that, it doesn't sound like a "much fatter p

You sound a lot more like an owner than an employee. Have you ever been relying on tips to survive? I mean someone who does not benefit from the system, I'm sure some employees benefit from it, in some cases. > Those two factors lea

This. Now you withdraw money at an ATM and it offers you to give a 25% tip. People who are not used to tips (i.e. foreigners visiting the US) don't necessarily know when they should and when they shouldn't give a tip. When in doub

I meant "solely from tips", obviously. And yeah, on top of abusing the employees by not paying them (and relying on the customers to pay the employees directly), stealing from the tip is even more abusive. And let's not even

> the problem of going tip-free is that customers struggle to get their heads around the maths. Maybe they should show the price "without tip" next to the full price, so people can compare. Paying employees with tips is an insa

I have been following Cory Doctorow's "Enshittification" theory, and now I wonder: why couldn't a country like Switzerland be the one removing their equivalent of the DMCA? If I understand correctly, they don't need

Isn't there some kind of "if you invade us we bomb our strategic factories" strategy? Like "if we can't have them, nobody can"?

No need to make violating American copyright legal. Just remove their equivalent of the DMCA. I can't understand why there isn't a single country that did that.

To me, the value of C is the interop story. Is there a modern language with ABI stability that can replace C for that? As in, you can wrap anything with a C API and be sure that it can be called from any other language easily?

I feel like supporting Android alternatives is also fighting for my rights. Isn't it? And again, I'm really impressed by all the work done by the Linux on Mobile projects. I'm just saying it's an uphill battle, and it&#x

"If", sure. How many developers here don't see a difference between the latest LLMs and SLMs they can run on their own computer? I tried running a smaller model locally, and it's not usable for me. I know people like to

Well Google is becoming worse every year, but AOSP is way ahead of Linux on Mobile, for many reasons. The thing is, AOSP is open source. Just like Linux is not controlled by one of the TooBigTechs, I could imagine a fork of AOSP becoming a

Sure, yeah. But "vibe-coded and reviewed by Linus Torvalds" is probably better than "manually-written by a random person on the Internet". Sometimes the provenance itself is enough to trust it, sometimes the fact that pe
