A lot of servers prefer tipping culture. I have friends who can make $100-200 an hour on good nights at fancy restaurants and bars.

Nah I’ve come to appreciate tipping after spending time in the UK where they don’t tip. Service is absolutely dismal here.

And brand C is called Nestle

What do you like better about it over Signal or Whatsapp?

Does it have a good panorama sticker or HDR merger? Those are the tools I absolutely need from Lightroom

Yep. I refuse to update my OS because I’m still hanging on to my non-cloud version of Lightroom 5. No way I’d pay Adobe for like the 5 times I use it per year

What are drools rules? All the pages I’m reading are very high level “bueiness rules” what does that even mean?

Interesting… what do you like better about Evolution compared to Thunderbird? I’ve never tried Evolution but am curious if it’s worth the upgrade to Win 11 to switch

VSCode is open source though? Although I guess maybe not the plugins?

That’s why you should use a native app, which won’t send any of that identifying info (except for IP but there’s nothing you can do on that)

Then you’re in the wrong industry…

What languages are those? And if you say C/C++ I’m going to laugh

Ironic because it’s literally the same situation that Reddit was going through that caused the migration to Lemmy in the first place

Looks like the hill has fur

Heck I would settle for just seeing a post from a person once I my feed, instead of seeing the last reply, then other posts, then the second-to-last reply, then after a lot more scrolling finally seeing the original post.

The problem with chronological feeds is that prolific posters in your timezone just take it over and you never see stuff from people in other timezones or infrequent posters.

I used to write a lot of performance-critical Java (oxymoron I know) for wearables, and one time I got a code reviewer who only did server-side Java, and the differences in our philosophies were staggering.

He wanted me to convert all my code to functional style, using optionals and streams instead of simple null checks and array iterations. When explained that those things are slower and take more memory it was like I was speaking an alien language. He never even had to consider that code would be running on a system with limited RAM and CPU cycles, didn’t even understand how that was possible.
