Isambard_PrinceIt doesn't work worse than kwin_wayland so there's no great need to switch it back unless they decide to actually drop X at some point.Jan 06 05:23
Isambard_PrinceWhich I doubt will be anytime soon.Jan 06 05:23
Isambard_Princeschestowitz[TR2], I responded to No Tax On Tips.Jan 06 05:25
Isambard_PrinceI lowered my tips from 18% to 10% and under that I write "No Tax On Tips...".Jan 06 05:25
Isambard_PrinceIt's just revolting that tips keep getting higher and now they don't even pay tax on them.Jan 06 05:26
Isambard_PrinceWhen I was a kid, 10% was a solid tip when you went out to eat.Jan 06 05:26
Isambard_PrinceThen the standard became 15%, then somewhere it became 18%, then now they want 22%.Jan 06 05:26
Isambard_PrinceThen the law changed and they don't even owe income tax on it.Jan 06 05:26
Isambard_PrinceSo I just started leaving 10% again.Jan 06 05:26
Isambard_PrinceIf I get the job at the hotel laundry, I have to pay tax on everything.Jan 06 05:27
Isambard_PrinceBut if a server that already makes that much per hour also gets good tips, then potentially half their income in non-taxable.Jan 06 05:27

Isambard_Princeschestowitz[TR2], I made an exception to the 10% once since the law changed.Jan 06 05:28
Isambard_PrinceWe went to Outback Steakhouse and the waitress there slipped me an extra 22 ounce beer and didn't charge me for it.Jan 06 05:29
Isambard_PrinceSo she got a really nice tip.Jan 06 05:29
Isambard_PrinceTips above 10% should be for outstanding service.Jan 06 05:30
Isambard_PrinceRestaurant prices are through the roof.Jan 06 05:31
Isambard_PrinceSo a 10% tip is already pretty substantial even without the no tax policy.Jan 06 05:31
Isambard_PrinceA dinner that was $50 five years ago is like $110 now.Jan 06 05:32
Isambard_PrinceSo if you left a 20% tip on $50, that's $10. If you leave a 10% tip on $110, that's $11.Jan 06 05:32
Isambard_PrinceSo restaurant price hikes are causing tips to go up anyway.Jan 06 05:32

Isambard_PrinceUnlike Trump's party, we're still trying to run a state with public services.Jan 06 05:33

Isambard_PrinceAnd we can't do that if billions of tax dollars are lost.Jan 06 05:33
Isambard_PrinceI hate going to places that demand tips where there's no service being provided.Jan 06 05:35
Isambard_PrinceLike Five Guys or Jimmy Johns or something.Jan 06 05:35
Isambard_PrinceThey make $19 an hour to make sandwiches. You clean up your own table and refill your own drinks.Jan 06 05:35
Isambard_PrinceThen this fucking tip screen shows up.Jan 06 05:35

Isambard_PrinceI liked MCL Cafeteria and Laughner's and Jonathan Byrd's cafeteria in Indiana back in the day.Jan 06 05:45
Isambard_PrinceYou went in, you grabbed a tray, you grabbed some silverware and put it on the tray, you told each employee going down the line what you wanted from the offerings that day, you grabbed a dinner roll if you wanted one, and told them what drink you'd like, then paid the cashier, and took a seat and ate your meal.Jan 06 05:46
Isambard_PrinceThey cleaned the table. No tipping allowed.Jan 06 05:46
Isambard_PrinceThat's how restaurants should work.Jan 06 05:46
Isambard_PrinceIt should be like an assembly line, very efficient. No tipping allowed.Jan 06 05:47

techrights-news"The difference between Software Freedom and corporate Big Tech lies in the choices we make. Monopoly tech is prescriptive. It tries to tell us what we want, how to live our lives. It presents technology as a fait accompli, a total one-stop take-it-or-leave-it package." https://cybershow.uk/blog/posts/malinfluence/Jan 06 07:05
techrights-news"Free Software is holistic. It is a deliberately unfinished work. It preserves flexibility, openness to change and improvement, choice, configuration and personalisation by the end user with genuine meaningful control. It is the seed of innovation that makes the difference between nations that are leaders and those who follow."Jan 06 07:06
techrights-news"I'm now hearing from people who finally got-off social media. They're very angry. They realise they wasted ten or more years of their lives. Some people went down a technological rabbit-hole after 2010 and only recently escaped." https://cybershow.uk/blog/posts/malinfluence/Jan 06 07:07

techrights-news"Finally, social control media is collapsing, and like Web 2.0 before it leaves those who participated all washed-up, empty, bereft, and feeling cheated. The winners are whoever bought-up the companies and all the data. One older person tells me "I feel lonely. There's nobody left on Facebook, I only get adverts and robots now"."Jan 06 07:08
techrights-news"I ask whether they have the email addresses of their old friends. "I'm not sure who is still on email, or how to reach them", they say. Worse some say, "I'm not really good at writing long messages any more. What am I supposed to say?""Jan 06 07:09

They're just spending time in reality at last, enjoying walking on the beach - instead of making a video of walking on the beach to post on Instagram according to some mass-hysterical social pressure."Jan 06 07:09
techrights-news"But the danger remains; that people will simply jump on to the next addictive and sapping technological trend the broligarchs and pushers have lined up. Whether that is "AI chat bots" that send people psychotic, or new forms of online gambling, for most of us, the next big thing that consumes years of our lives, breaks our relationships, health and prosperity, will be offered to us by someone close."Jan 06 07:10
techrights-news"Take the "bans" on social media for children. I don't think that children or adults should waste their time on that rubbish, maybe because I'm an "elitist". Maintaining real relationships and seeking out knowledge does and should require some effort. Effort is what underpins quality."Jan 06 07:11

Cover your driveway in CCTV cameras! Neurotic about where your kid is? Give them a phone stuffed with trackers to "chip" them like a farm animal!"Jan 06 07:20
techrights-news"People get the wrong idea that these industrial, capitalist and military models of technology are the only possible ones. They represent only a tiny modicum of the vast and rich spectrum of technological possibility, most of which isn't rooted in domination and control. But to even see beneficent technology we must change our whole way of thinking about it."Jan 06 07:21
techrights-news"Taking thoughtful technological responsibility, versus being compelled by blind economics to enter an arms race therefore requires resistance against preventable industrial injury on a society-wide scale. It applies as much to digital technologies as to guns and bombs, to the cogs, wheels and pulleys in factories or the processes in chemical plants."Jan 06 07:22

Isambard_Princeschestowitz[TR2], It's reasonable to want a high limit on your credit card to about 10 times what you normally spend in a month.Jan 06 21:06
Isambard_PrincePart of FICO is your utilization overall and part is your utilization on a given card.Jan 06 21:06
Isambard_PrinceIf you have to spend $2,000 a month, but have a $3,000 limit on the card, your utilization will be 66% when the statement posts.Jan 06 21:06
Isambard_PrinceIf you spend $2,000 in a month and have a $20,000 limit, your utilization is only 10%.Jan 06 21:07
Isambard_PrinceIt helps stabilize your credit rating because it shows that you're not filling up the card.Jan 06 21:07
Isambard_PrinceThere's also credit cards with such a low limit that you have to stop two or three times a month and pay it off in between statements, and that's not good either.Jan 06 21:08
Isambard_PrinceThe banks call it cycling. It basically lets you spend beyond the limit they assigned you. ACH transfers, which is how you pay the card, can be disputed for up to 60 days, so the way the bank sees it, they are risking multiples of the amount they gave you.Jan 06 21:08
Isambard_PrinceSo if you get one of those $500-1000 limits you're going to have to cycle it and that can get your account terminated.Jan 06 21:09

Isambard_PrinceSavings account bonuses are a lot harder to get than Checking account bonuses.Jan 06 21:52
Isambard_PrinceYou can get a checking bonus for setting up direct deposit and having one Social Security check go in the account.Jan 06 21:52
Isambard_PrinceBut the Savings ones want like $25,000 deposit and the money in there untouched for 90 days.Jan 06 21:52

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.ms.now | Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa of California has died at 65Jan 06 22:14
Isambard_PrinceSo the Republicans are down by two seats right now.Jan 06 22:14
MinceRthey're not republicansJan 06 22:15
Isambard_PrinceThat means that they can only lose two votes from their own party with full attendance, instead of 4. Then on the 31st, Texas has a special election and both candidates are Democrats, so the Republican majority will be down to 1 seat.Jan 06 22:15
MinceRrepublicans don't abolish the republicJan 06 22:15
Isambard_PrinceMinceR, Trump said LaMalfa "voted with me 100% of the time".Jan 06 22:15
Isambard_PrinceSo no loss there.Jan 06 22:16
Isambard_PrinceGavin Newsome is probably not going to rush a special election.Jan 06 22:16
