If the employee’s gross pay works out to less than $7.25/h, then the employer is obligated to make up the difference.

I imagine the result it that any employee demanding the employer to fill the gap is fired because obviously they provide bad service, otherwise they’d get more tips. Right?

If we went back to that, I’d probably immediately miss the days when objects in our day-to-day were attainable for one Euro or so :-)

Currently kinda controversial, but currently it’s still Fedora, the xfce4 version.

I had Debian for some time before, but had my apt packages messed up a couple of times to the point I had to entirely re-install. In stable, I was missing sufficiently recent versions, in testing I had other problems.

With Fedora dnf I had less problems recovering, usually more recent versions.

Xfce4 is just more suitable for my needs than Gnome.

Not at all, the old, chunky office printers you get for cheap work even without any special driver or so, just postscript. (You might get better quality for pictures with the original driver, but for simple letters it just works.)

Edit: Where HP really sucks is the consumer market.

I had a Brother printer, the costs were prohibitive. For over a decade now buy discarded office laserjet printers, chunky as hell, but for 100€ you get tens of thousands of pages out of them. And for those 100€, often a duplex unit is included. Am currently on my 2nd printer over 15 years.

Sounds like “screen”? (I never heard about tmux until today, I work a lot with Linux on a daily base, maintaining servers etc. I use screen a lot.)

I think that’s a fundamental problem: A tool like faceit takes freedom from the user away. If it was open source (i.e. modifiable), it could lie in favour of its owner. Since Linux is open source, a good programmer could probably get Linux to lie to the tool to send the wrong data and therefore allow cheating. Controlling the user requires a system the user has no control over :-)

Pretty SUS,eh?

If the LED is more or less on the surface, it works, although I don’t like the look much. If the LED is somehow deeper inside, to give an “elegant” shine spread through a bigger area of the casing surface, tape doesn’t work well…

The case is waterproof, I’m not sure that’s still so once I temper with is.

My other concern is I’m not 100% sure, if LEDs are always on a separate path or maybe part sometimes part of a signal path, i.e. if the LED is removed and that current can’t flow anymore, could the device stop working.

I wonder which of those appliances will stop working if I drill into the LED with a micro drill… Tape is good, but not perfect. I have a bluetooth speaker in my bedroom, and of all colours it has to use bright blue LEDs as a power on indicator :-( I have the speaker now in a leather bag at night, which does not exactly improve the sound quality.

I think the Ryzen CPU just gives more bang for the buck, as well considering purchase price as energy consumption. That’s not Linux related, but I think Linux users generally tend to care less about “market leader”, sometimes even as far as consciously supporting the underdog.

Fully agree! Let’s focus on posts complaining about posts complaining about users complaining about Reddit instead ;-)

They are trained to give answers which sound convincing on a first glance, for simple questions in most fields that strongly correlates with the correct answer. So, asking something simple on a topic I have no clue has a high likelihood to yield the answer I’m looking for.

The problem is, if I have no clue, the only way to know if I exceeded the “really simple” ralm is by trying the answer and failing, because chatgpt has no concept of verifying it’s own answers or identifying its own limitations, or even to “learn” from it’s mistakes, as such.

I do know some very similar humans, though: Very assertive, selling guesses and opinions as facts, overestimating themselves, never backing down. ChatGPT might replace tech-CEOs or politicians 😁

Came here to write the same, you beat me to it 😁

“Read” means they are displayed in your browser. I used to have Twitter open and hit reload once in a while during work, I definitely loaded more than 300 Tweets per day, especially when clicking on an interesting one once in a while loading all the replies automatically.

What’s the budget? I got myself a Tuxedo Pulse Gen2 this year and am very happy with it, I have no complains at all regarding built-quality, performance and Linux-compatibility. (However, it appears they don’t offer many Ryzen-notebooks anymore, I just looked and only found one model :-()

By which component is the password truncated on account-creation? Imo, the web UI shouldn’t do that without at least warning the user. Such long passwords might be a corner-case, but if the UI changes the password in any way before submitting it to the server, I think the user should see a big fat red notification. What if an account was created using a different client? The user wouldn’t be able to log in using the web-ui because the web-ui refuses to send the unmodified password?

If the password is truncated server-side during account creation, the server should do the same during login, the UI or client wouldn’t even have to know about it.

it’s also what gives spez the power here

I doubt it is the small communities with less than 100,000 members which give spez the power here. I think it’s the bigger ones, the ones people often find when googling for solutions to certain issues. Unfortunately, even if those subs close down and even if users “delete” all their posts, reddit holds the power to restore them (if this is lawful or not, at least for EU-based users according to GDPR, is a different topic. I’m not a lawyer.)

I think the value comes from the science-, open-source, diy- and IT-based subs. Those create the value people look for even years later via Google. Those are also user with sufficient technical expertise to maybe move over to Lemmy, or maybe even run their own Lemmy instance. If those subs stay firm or move out, that will seriously harm Reddit. And the smaller communities will follow eventually.
