Lemmy will add a new breaking change, ljdawson will swoop in and fix it in a day along with 10 cool features nobody thought of and then disappear into the night again as mysteriously as he appeared. Tbh I don't need much more than sync offers so I'm fine with radio silence as long as nothing's broken or dangerous.

I mean, that's exactly the same set of problems faced by closed source software. I guess one potential difference is that you can hire new devs to take over if it's successful enough. But both crappy documentation and team burnout have killed lots and lots of internal projects at places I've worked.

They'll have to go through several sessions of top tier therapy to feel better about their bad decisions. Is that bad feeling not consequence enough?!?

I'm assuming OP wants to run on Linux and I'm not familiar enough with .NET Core to know how much or how easily you can run it on Linux. I know some things definitely run, I just don't know how much.

For camera software, zoneminder is a classic, and frigate is probably the new kid in town. Web hosting will depend on your web developers but docker will have you covered for almost anything. Probably just steer clear of asp.net dev shops.

Worth mentioning they offer PPF on all their vehicles. It's not a cyber truck exclusive money grab. Though the lack of a clear coat is a questionable choice for sure.

Seems like an easy response. Fake reviews are fraud and against the TOC. But then again you could fake reviews for a competitor and tank their rating.

Goodhart's law is a pain.

I've gotten three raises from my company that haven't kept pace with inflation lol. It's ridiculous. Oh, and insurance benefits cut substantially.

Unless you were in MBA school, at which point they'd hail you as their king.

I've read at least one article suggesting that Square and Clover et al are kind of exacerbating the problem by letting/encouraging business owners to make default tips higher. And I'm sure it's pretty obvious that owners are not super inclined to increase base pay when they can bump suggested tips and pass that cost onto the customer without making things look more expensive.

Since when? I'm not even that old, and I've heard most of my life that 18% means "you did a stellar job" and 10% was "not great, not terrible."

I've always tried to tip 20% minimum anyway to support my fellow humans, usually closer to 25-30% especially on smaller bills, but these days it's frustrating because it almost takes away any of the joy of tipping extra well when it's already on there as a suggestion.

These days I'm all about getting rid of it and just paying a living wage and making the prices match reality.

Okay cool. Now publish that stat on the businesses so I can see which ones are cool with lying to potential customers and avoid them.
