If this doesn’t lead anywhere, we’ll probably have to wait until 2029 when a competent governmental department free of corruption could possibly appear.

Call Donald Trump to organize your next disappointing failure of an event!

There is a world in which you don’t have to sacrifice restaurant jobs while still having a proper minimum wage and having some level of tip culture. I live there, it’s called Canada. Servers, cooks and cleaners can make good money from tips while still being paid at the very least $15Cdn/hr ($10.60 US) by the restauranteur, higher outside the Prairies. Tipped minimum wage exists in Quebec but it is $13.30Cdn/hr ($9.35 US). It doesn’t have to be a one or the other situation, you can call it entitlement, but I call replacing wages with tips shifting the blame.

“Democrat”-ic camera taking photos of the two together?

“Democrat”-ic birthday card Trump wrote and signed for Epstein?

“Democrat”-ic condoms depicting Trump saying I’M HUUUUGE?

“Democrat”-ic Mike Johnson saying just yesterday he is running a protection program for keeping Trump connected Republicans with potential dirty laundry away from investigation or prosecution?

Was Lenovo one of the companies who signed 4 year profit gravy train contracts with one of the big 3, return of the RAM cartel? This kind of statement might suggest they did.

He’s got 10 shades of eyeliner and lipstick to dress this pig up with.

Congress, campaigns, non-profits and advocacy organizations.

Happy thawday to you!

The federal and state governments are cheating staff by allowing employers to pay slave-level wages of $2.xx/hr, if staff are paid ~$5/hr or more through tips.

This has gone on for a while so you’re right, maybe I shouldn’t visit some states in the USA anymore even after Don the Con is gone.

Welcome to Lemmy, thanks for the post detailing your experience and glad to hear you’re getting your family onboard too! I think you’ll feel right at home with the Linux nerds and tech privacy wonks here.

I wanted to consume the content instead of just being fed it.

Like you, this is the basis of a lot of my motivation to try and then stick with these FOSS programs, but perhaps differently than you, it also guides the extent to which I feel comfortable continuing to use some proprietary software and algorithms. I’ve committed to interacting with technology on my terms, even if I have reduced but not fully cut myself off from big tech.

Letting the government do anything good for you and your community, is the Republicans’ definition of communism and socialism. According to Republicans in Congress and the Trump admin and the Supreme Court, the role of the federal government is to subsidize billionaires and trillionaires, undertake vanity DC projects that are utter failures, start pointless wars they can’t finish, make everything unaffordable, tax Americans through tariffs, pardon criminals only in exchange for bribes gratuities, and send goon squads to harass immigrants and dissenters.

Under these terms, who wouldn’t want communism and socialism?

They’re originalists, of course. Since none of y’all were around when the Constitution was written, guess what, you don’t get rights. Corporations are Adam Smith’s babies so they get rights.

Watergate would be a 12 hour news story only because this administration has a Watergate-level scandal every other day.

Write the bills ahead of time, so that when a favourable Congress is formed you don’t have to spend more time putting it together from scratch.

Min wage should also be attached to inflation. Also, “bills going nowhere” didn’t stop Project 2025, Heritage Foundation fascists and Republican abortion ban projects from persistently marching forward.

As the RAM apocalypse continues to plague all of us, it’s only fair for users to continue using the more efficient Windows 10, instead of the memory-hogging Windows 11.

Win 10 isn’t even that memory efficient and still slams the heck out of plattered disks. Not that I recommend an HDD over an SSD for boot drives, but it was usable up to Win 8.1, and even today with Linux.

We need a judicial injunction post-haste against any interference in ballot deliveries, and to compel the USPS to deliver ballots despite any bullshit investigation by the executive.

What’s the threshold for a tag?

Just add context as a top level comment or in the body text area. Someone can come in to clarify if the poster is missing it.

Even for a poster sometimes it’s not obvious if there is any AI in the project. Example: Lutris, dev said they are adding Claude commits and will be scrubbing mentions of the tool from PRs. Sometimes AI is discussed but rejected.

It’s easy to tell when a whole project has been vibecoded, but the grey zone of an existing project that may or may not have had slopcode added, is tougher for posters to discern.

Ok. Go ahead. Countersuing the “trillionaire” for punitive damages is not above Congressman Khanna, of all people.

I already wrote about what’s different back in Oct 2023 in response to a complaint reminiscent of yours. Most important bit:

That’s what you will have to deal with in the de-centralized model, and I think it strikes a decent balance of allowing open communication, resisting overall censorship while still allowing some groups to censor out what they consider bad vibes.

Let’s see these “no limits” against Israel, hmm?
