I’ve stopped using tipped services entirely now. The only tipping I do is for a waiter at a sit down restaurant.

The mini mart under my building asks me to tip when all I’ve done is bring what I want to a counter. It’s infuriating because there’s no reason for it, it’s literally just there to guilt people into an extra few bucks.

He successfully bought his way into those industries. His most successful companies were not started by him, and tend to flourish once he’s gone.

Once you have enough money it’s pretty much impossible to do anything but fail upwards

These comments are really proving your point

I’m also in the same boat. I’m simply not interested in running Linux as a daily OS, and pretty much any gaming or tech content here is exclusively that. And then when you express any sort of counter opinion you get attacked.

I’m honestly finding myself scrolling Reddit without participating a lot more than I’m on here.

This is rich coming from epic, who bribes developers to not use a competitor.

I also kinda figured the people who are into the Monkey PNGs aren’t exactly the ones who go to meetups

Because they’re not just recommendation algorithms

They’re optimized to generate the most revenue, or direct the most clicks to certain things. They take your likes/dislikes into account, but they’re not the only metric, and arguably for the platform are the least important.

They were basically a failing company before the whole WSB stock manipulation. Now they have money again, but no useful business model.

It’s really goddamn preachy. There’s a real sense of superiority a lot of users have that I don’t recall as much on Reddit.

There’s also the fact that small communities are dead and it’s next to impossible to grow them, so you’re stuck with the same people on the front page every day.

Garbage in = Garbage out

ML training data sets are only as good as their data, and almost all data is inherently flawed. Biases are just more pronounced in these models because they scale the bias with the size of the model, becoming more and more noticeable.

It's like shared group therapy for a whole lot of people who had the same abusive ex

Because it’s the only place they can evacuate heat. The sides are covered by I/O and are limited size.

Gaming laptops really aren’t made for using in your lap. They’re more a portable desktop that you connect things to.

I don’t know what bathrooms you’ve been in, but nobody is showing anyone anything in the bathroom. In most cases people who are trans use stalls anyways.
