Um…delivering?

Maybe I’m missing the point as I’m not from the US (and I assume from your content that you are) - but here we pay a delivery fee which covers the cost of delivery, and a tip is an optional bonus for the delivery person if you feel like they went beyond.

Well he didn’t just get takeout for some reason /s

Did you consider getting takeout?

Chill Winston, no need to get so aggressive just because you were wrong about the browser not being a document viewer. Because that’s exactly what it is. That’s all. No attack on you, your preferences or ideology. Just facts.

I’m clearly not as well versed on the minutia of PDFs as you are, but I am an expert on browsers and their capabilities as a document viewer.

Your preferences are your own, and I am not here to refute them or change your mind. You keep trucking however you like.

All in saying is that Firefox is a web browser and not a document viewer

So what do you suppose an HTML document is?

Hint: the clue is in the name.

2nd hint: the first line of any well formed HTML file.

I thought we called those tankies now?

I trust Nord as much as I trust any VPN that has independent audits of their no-log policy.

And yes Tor is slow, but I dont think that makes in impractical, you’re trading privacy for speed.

Yeah I get the same impression from the general chatter but no one seems to ever say what’s bad about NordVPN. I find their software pleasing to use, the meshnet functionality saves me some trouble, and the speeds seem to be very high and it’s reliable.

There’s other stuff their marketing material speaks to that people can choose to believe or not, but the above is why I subscribed.

If folks ever shared good, verifiable reasons to not use them I’d certainly look elsewhere.

Also - what’s not practical about Tor? Seems perfectly practical for my purposes.

Why is 2x2 meant to be 1.5x1.5 and not 2x2?

Sound quality is sufficiently indistinguishable in quality for me, battery lasts way longer than I need, more comfortable because I don’t have a cable being snagged on things, never dropped or lost them, and if you can’t see my over-ear headphones then no wire is going to help you.

Additionally I can connect to multiple devices (computer and mobile) and I can get up and walk around as I need and not lose audio.

Can you give some examples? I’d love to discover some gems.

Word of warning - I usually find that movies on rotten tomatoes with low critic scores and high audience scores are hitting the midweek sweet spot for me. Low cerebral requirement, high distraction. If you get me.

TOR browser and a decent VPN.

Personally use Nord VPN but guessing from how infrequently it gets recommend by folks on lemmy I’m guessing it’s not the best.

Starting a new business is hard enough as it is - please do not complicated it by adding in something that brings limited tangible benefits to the company, whilst making it unnecessarily harder than what it will be anyway.

Either get fluent now, and then start your business - or start your business with Windows and move on when you’re profitable and can afford the reduction in productively while you learn the ropes.

Do not go anywhere near MacOS - you can’t afford it.

“Gave up on” and “tracking for 2 years now” in the same sentence…you’re sending mixed messages.

Basically, Google.

In the EU we like to pay a living wage and tip. That way we know that no one is getting fucked (any more than usual) and the good service staff are getting rewarded for going above and beyond.

You wanna know what’s even more lost nuanced? the fact that a customer paying your salary via tip is after they’ve paid taxes. So let’s say they tip $1 - in my country that means they had to earn $2 before tax (assuming the customer is a billy big bollocks higher-rate tax payer).

But what about if the employer pays the server instead? well now we’re talking…when the emplopyer pays the server, it does so PRE-TAX. That is to say they can pay the server $1 and in order to do so they only had to earn $1. While if they banked that $1 as profit, they would pay tax on the $1 first and so see less of it (let’s call it $0.80). Mind you, that does mean that the service worker now needs to pay $1 on that income…but surely they would declare their tips anyway and pay the tax either way? right? riiiiight?

Long and the short of it is - the cheapest way for the server to get $1 is for the employer to pay it to them and pass the cost on to the customer. The cost to the employer is what the company would have received post-tax for that $1 which as we said earlier was $0.80. The server got the $1, the employer is not gaining or losing anything, and the customer is only paying $0.80 which means they only had to earn $1.60 instead of $2. Everyone wins, except the tax man doesn’t win quite as much as he was winning before. Cry me a river.
