feel free to wow them with contactless payments
This is quite dated. Per Forbes, "Nearly 90% of U.S. consumers now use contactless payments, "
Tip at restaurants where they take your order at the table and bus your table, 15-20% of the total. Absolutely don’t tip at those kiosks at the counter. They’ll beg for a tip because software. You’re absolutely fine to hit skip or custom 0. Don’t normalize that shit.
How much does the setup cost? assuming I’m already self hosting and have some disk space.
VPN and a seed box?
Selling what data? It’s already public.
But something like $7 for premium without ads is absolutely sustainable. But, you know, line go up more.
Just be grateful if you’re not in one of the first groups. I spoke up as loudly as I could.
I’ll wait 72 hours before settling with it, in case any shenanigans were involved. I expect it’s legitimate, but I want that window open if it’s needed.
There’s always vaultwarden.
It’s important that he disabuses himself of the notion that he’s really good at this if he tried. The trying is the part that’s the challenge. They make the ability to understand part relatively easy. That’s the whole point of college.
The tip is to change his perspective and stop thinking that he’s above it. It may not be the only tip, but it’s a big one.
The world is filled with people who used to be brilliant slackers when they were young who did nothing with it.
Anyone can theoretically sit down and study for the equivalent of a university degree. Most people don’t have the motivation or discipline for that.
Half the point of the degree is that it pushes you to get it done. (The other half is verification that you did it.)
If you still can’t do it, then it isn’t so easy after all, is it? The main challenge isn’t how big your brain is. It’s actually putting in the work.
If you can’t find enough self-discipline to get through it, you’re going to regret it later.
I was the generation we were hopeful for. All we’ve done is stall. We got Obama elected… and that’s about it.
We need a plan that’s better than “wait it out”. That one tends to fail.
And who will they blame? Probably others.
We’ve expected that for over a generation. It’s more than just the boomers doing this. If you’re waiting for Gen X, you’re going to have to wait for Millennials too, because we thought the same thing.
It wasn’t boomers that were influenced by r/the_donald and 4chan.
I’d also like to see specialist instances. There could absolutely be a separate instance that has major sports, for example. Or even just the NFL. Kind of like the benefits of old forums, but with the benefits of federation and Reddit.
More geographic based instances would also be great.
Otherwise I’m not into more instances just for defederation’s sake. Email works just fine having most users in a few major hosts. Lemmy can be similar. It’s the option to leave that is important.
I haven’t played it on mobile, but it does seem made for it. And everything is turn based with absolutely no timers.
I avoided the game after hearing the addiction rumors. A friend bought it as a steam gift.
It didn’t get me as good as Slay the Spire did, but it’s pretty good.
Perfect. Thank you!
Any source for this? It wasn’t today’s comic.
The image is hosted on xkcd.com, but I expect there’s some article with it?
Fair. I don’t agree with most of your points, but you make a good argument.
I still think we over prioritize decentralization. Federation is important, but’s not a primary feature to be sold to users. It’s not because we need a thousand instances. It’s so that if Gmail gets too enshittified that we have another email option.
World is where the activity is, and you do a reasonable job of balancing that.
Why are you actively against lemmy.world?
On Reddit you list several alternative instances, and you somehow left us out.
I think Italian and Irish are now acceptable. Maybe choose one of those.
