  • This entire tipping thing is terrible - including for dashers themselves.

    It means dashers income heavily relies on strangers being kind enough to leave some extra.

    It means customers are gonna feel bad for not paying more than their order amount (and they probably will pay the tip)

    It means company can employ slave labor for extremely low pay and still have people willing to do this.

    Tipping benefits only one party - the companies. We need to stop it.





  • Recommending Linux is good; forcing it down someone’s throat is not.

    If parents are just comfy using Windows, it’ll get them super frustrated when they’ll face new issues coming from Linux use, as you just can’t turn Linux into Windows and they never asked for it.

    Now, if they complain about all the shit Windows throws at them, you can offer an alternative.

    I can install Arch blindfolded without archinstall, but I don’t think it is the superior option.

    It is either unstable or maintenance-heavy, depending on how you treat it, compared to other distributions.

    It is bleeding-edge though, and pretty memory-effective and speedy.





  • Ah, that name was left from when they’ve been open-source, which us why I advocate for the emergence of GPL-licensed projects.

    The open-source license for GPT model was very relaxed, which OpenAI took advantage of and, once it could afford their own programmer staff, closed the code with all the contributions all the programmers from all over the world have made.

    It’s an extremely dick move, and it was repeated by Google, too.



  • People are crazy when they promote closed-source AI (okay, okay, generative model) projects like ChatGPT, Bard etc.

    This is literally one of the most important technologies of the future, and after all the times technology companies screwed them (us) up big time and monopolized the Internet, they go into the same trap again and again.

    First they surrendered the free Internet, now they surrender the new frontiers.

    Wake up, people. Go HuggingFace, advocate for free AI, and ideally - for a GPL one. We cannot afford for this part of our future to be taken away from us.
