  • Ban tipping as a substitute for min wage.
  • Ban tipping companies,
  • Allow tipping people.

Until then, tip people with cash.

Don't forget that your taxes go towards other people's driving. Gas, roads and parking comes out of your taxes.

Don't also forget that your commute is probably 1 hour each way of unpaid work.

If the leading cause of death globally 4-15 year olds is car accidents then it's not a dirty play IMO.

Taxis and deliveries exist for moving drywall and sick people. If time is of the essence then an ambulance is better. People who live outside of an urban center would probably like convenient public transport instead of going downtown in a car and trying to find parking.

Sure if you live in suburban US you have to drive anywhere to get to anything and in my opinion that sucks pretty hard. It doesn't have to be that way forever though.

How many times are you moving drywall or transporting sick people to the hospital anyway?

We are causing children to die and get paralyzed out of convenience. Sure, people need to get to work but with how things are now it comes at a steep price.

If most people drive then it has massive negetive consequences for both drivers and non drivers. Roads, parking and infrastructure all have financial costs, opportunity costs and negative externalities and take up valuable land in cities. Climate change is just the icing on the cake. Cars also cause noise pollution, stress, traffic and make cities less safe.

Public transport and biking don't have these problems and per passanger cheaper when taking in account public and private spending.

Unfortunately you can't fit all this on a small led billboard so I guess we have to settle for whatever this guy did.

Making people aware that many child deaths are preventable for example. Car accidents are the leading cause of death for kids 4-15 years old.

If you want to write drivers you'll need some really good documentation on how to interact with the device.

Then when you have that ask ChatGPT how to write a driver, it'll most likely not do the best job on writing it in Rush so for a sample code asking for C code will give better result.

Nobody is saying it's not a computer, but the tooling, reliability and services make it more than just a computer.

That's true, I'm just happy it shows my appointments.

By not downloading anything except text and Html the sender can't tell whether you opened it or not. However, pressing tracked links will track you if you don't have some privacy thingy on your browser.

I've been using Thunderbird as my daily driver for a while now.

  • Great automation and filtering. -10$/year add-on for a complete MS suite interop for work.
  • Customized the theming.
  • Tracker blocking.
  • Calendars
  • First class Linux support

It's just as good as every other email client but without them reading it. :)

There are themes for the colorless. I personally help with a donation every now and then.
