Has tipping in America reached a tipping point?
  • It's clearly not as established as you think.... The goalposts keep moving. here are some (un)welcome changes i've noticed in my lifetime...

    • tipping people we didnt used to tip
    • tipping for takeout
    • increase in rate of tip
    • tip calculated AFTER tax

    "this is the way it's always been done" is not only a stupid defense, but is totally false in this cse

  • Has tipping in America reached a tipping point?
  • Do you tip your grocery store cashier? Do you tip your baker? Do you tip your mail carrier? Do you tip your garbageman? Do you tip your local librarian? Do you tip your child's teachers (if applicable)? Did you tip your lemmy instance admin? Do you tip your local city councillor?

    If not, then you should expect shit tier service from them too

    I dont wish you a bad life. I'm just pointing out how bad life would be if everyone had your attitude and work ethic

  • Has tipping in America reached a tipping point?
  • I hope the rest of society gives you lower quality service every day since you're not tipping them... What a shit attitude

    Also anyone who claims tipping results in better service has never left north america

    I regularly get shit service here and still expected to tip 15%

    Service in most of europe is WAY better and there is generally no expectation of a tip

  • 'Embarrassing:' NHL team ditches bus and walks to Scotiabank Arena amid gridlock
  • Whats more embarassing is that regular citizens have to deal with this shit tier traffic every day. (And by traffic, i mean all the drivers who collectively all decide to drive downtown and then complain there are too many cars on the road).

    Willy Nylander takes transit to the arena all the time.

    Oh yeah, and this is the same city that is planning on tearing up a bunch of bike lanes so that MORE drivers will bring their cars downtown. (Technically, its not the city's decision...)

  • Anyone have stats on how the recent "voidposting" frenzy on cat communities affected lemmy?

    Has there been a major spike in user registrations or any other metric? I've never seen something "go viral" like this on lemmy before.

    Kids are getting ruder, teachers say. And new research backs that up
  • With that said shiti parenting is largely result of poor social economic conditions. Even if you want to be a good parent it is very hard to do unless you got economic means AND time.

    Have they tried NOT having kids then?

  • Nextcloud client just deleted all of my files, why did it do this?
  • I feel like what you described should be a big fat warning on the nextcloud page

    OP is a lot more gracious than most internet users by accepting some responsibility. But i wouldnt blame them. I might have done the same, and i've been self hosting nextcloud for 8 years now.

  • Finally, Someone Is Building an Open Source Salesforce Alternative
  • everything is possible in excel... someone wrote a DOOM clone in excel.

    I once worked at a company where someone hacked together a PO generating tool in excel 10 years prior and it just kind of stuck around even though the company grew into a billion dollar market cap public company

  • Can someone give me a TL;DR for the 2024-2025 season, please?

    I just got back from 6 weeks away from home and totally forgot hockey started while i was gone.

    I also wasnt paying attention on the offseason either.

    What did i miss?

    Private chat app using wifi only. No SIM available

    My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.

    Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat

    She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone

    Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?

    Thanks

    Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

    Is having a coach right for me?

    I'm looking to qualify for boston (M41, 3:10 for my age group)

    Current PR is 3:20

    Is having a coach worth my money and their time? I have no delusions of being an elite runner. Is coaching a good tool for my current level?

    walking is "illegal and dangerous"

    Attached: 1 image @sarajw@front-end.social This blows my mind. Imagine making infrastructure so car dependent that you make walking illegal.

    "Remco Evenepoel is seeking to leave Soudal-QuickStep ..."

    EDIT: if you're going to downvote the post, please comment and say why.... i'm happy to learn what kind of content is not welcome here. this is a very new community that's a bit dead and lacking content. so it's not really helpful to just downvote things without saying why at this early stage

    full text from the bird site thread: >Remco Evenepoel is seeking to leave Soudal-QuickStep, various close sources have informed RadioCycling, with the world champion unhappy about the team’s future direction and doubting if they can support his ambitions, such as winning the Tour de France in 2024. > > We understand that Evenepoel’s camp have contacted a number of teams after concerns over QuickStep’s finances. Evenepoel also doesn’t believe his wage compares with that of his peers. It's thought he earns no more than €4m after bonuses, compared to Pogačar’s reported €7m. > > One close source to Evenepoel said: “It will all come down to money… and his current contract underpays him. Patrick Lefevere needs to adapt his contract or risk conflict.” > > Evenepoel has a contract until the end of 2026 and we understand there are no breakout clauses. > > Ineos Grenadiers are the clear favourites to sign Evenepoel and met with his representatives last autumn. But RadioCycling understands that Israel-PremierTech are also a genuine possibility, with Evenepoel’s camp having very close relationships with Israel staff members > > Despite rumours linking both Lidl-Trek and Bora-hansgrohe to Evenepoel, senior sources at both teams said they haven’t opened up discussions with the 23-year-old. Multiple sources have confirmed that any transfer would be a “package deal” involving Specialized. > > Signing Evenepoel, however, is not easy. Despite reports to the contrary, sources have confirmed that all outstanding bonuses have been paid, therefore there is no contract breach. Patrick Lefevere told RadioCycling: “I don’t owe €1 to anybody. Everything is paid.” > > That means the only possibility for Evenepoel departing is if someone buys out his remaining contract, something that is likely to cost in excess of €10m. Lefevere insists that he won't sell. > > He also rubbished claims Ineos owner Jim Ratcliffe could buy QuickStep’s licence.

    just some rumour fodder to fill some time on TdF rest day

    seems bonkers insane that IPT is in the conversation, given that sylvan adams is already regretting setting a pile of cash on fire with froomey

    Red Hat shitstorm

    Everyone is getting jerked around by IBM and now Oracle adding to the drama

    Meanwhile my servers are stable and debian development keeps quietly chugging along with minimal noise

    Just wanted to say how much i love the debian project and all the contributors

    People should recommend debian more

    is there a way to do a full version upgrade from kde desktop GUI?

    i installed debian with KDE for a friend years ago... is there a way to upgrade to bookworm using the "discover" GUI? or are they going to have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list?

    not they they are incapable of doing something simple like this, but just wondering if there is a GUI method to do a full version upgrade

    thanks

    time to rethink ban on riding positions?

    We took away two important descending tools from the riders

    1. Supertuck
    2. Fake aero bars/puppy paws (i hate that term, carlton)

    Do you think that riders would take less risk on turns if they could still do supertuck? Or would riders supertuck AND take big risks on hairpins?

    Not blaming Mader or saying he took risks. But the incident made me think about risk management
