  • When I am asked for tip when purchasing bread at a bakery, I put no tip. Why would I tip for a service interraction that lasted 28 seconds? “Id like some bread please. here you go, its x$. beep thank you have a great day”

    I ordered take out pizza once, the prompt said 18, 20 or 30%. If they had kept reasonnable options maybe I would have CONSIDERED tipping. But the fact that the suggested tip amount was 18% just made me say nope you get nothing. And the service was pretty bad as well soo… At this point I dont care if I get bad looks from the employee



  • Yes. This 1000x. I hate it at work when I come across code that was written 3 years ago that has literally no traces of why it’s there and a quick summary of what it does. Especially because that code is always the most abbreviated spaghetti you’ve ever seen. People should stop thinking (their) code documents itself because 99.999% of programmers cannot do it right.

    I really like the Google way of coding: assume the person reading the code is the most 1337 programmer ever, BUT that this person knows absolutely nothing about the project






  • likely content blockers preventing the trackers from working properly and invalid user agents. So i would expect about the same ratio of usage on there as well. Maybe very slightly more Linux since maybe the users are more likely to tinker with their browser configs and install content blockers, but even there Id say its an extremely slim minority of even linux users who do that

    StatCounter also sometimes miscounts when new versions of windows or macos come out. At one point (I think at windows 11 release) there was a huge dip in windows 10 users and a huge gain in “unknown” and it was quickly fixed.










  • J’ai pas regardé la vidéo mais je tiens tout de même a mettre un avertissement a propos de 7 jours sur terre: quand je regardais leur contenu il y a quelque temps ils ne mettaient pas les sources de leurs informations, ils disaient de regarder dans la description sauf qu’elle était vide. Surtout que c’était du contenu politique et qu’ils avaient tendance a présenter des informations comme étant des faits ou d’un certain angle qui élimine le doute que quelqu’un pourrait avoir de la certitude d’une information


  • Mostly that they are generally made of cheap/very thin materials. They also kind of like cheap Chromebooks (especially clevos, tongfang are better in this area). And it’s also the fact that these laptops aren’t really unique at all, they are mostly a logo swap with preselected components guaranteed to work with Linux. I’ve been using this Lenovo laptop that has a fantastic screen and an amazing CNC aluminum body, it works flawlessly and Linux support was never a consideration for them making this PC

    If I am buying a laptop i want it to be unique, because if it’s not then I’ll just buy it straight from China on clevos website for half the price. What I don’t like is this is basically drop shipping but less consumer hostile


  • In over 3 years of daily flatpak use (of multiple apps) I’ve never had a single reliability issue with flatpak, the only ones being caused by me because I was trying out settings in flatseal that the app didn’t like. On the flip side I’ve found native packages to be broken more often than not, with .Deb files sometimes just not working and throwing an error or something. Package managers are better for sure but I’ve had dependency issues that I have never experienced with flatpak.
