I don't remember actually doing tips as a percentage back when I lived in Latvia, it was usually that you took the bills and left any coins, maybe added some on top if there weren't many.

So probably 10% at most but still basically what I made per hour as a warehouse worker

I mean, a lot of it is just people who started using chatgpt to do some simple and boring task (writing an email, CV, or summarizing an article) and started thinking that it's the best thing since sliced bread.

I would know that since I'm a university student. I know the limitations of current AI stuff so I can cautiously use it for certain tasks and don't trust the output to be correct. Meanwhile, my friend thought that he was making chatgpt better at answering his multiple choice economics quiz by telling it which of the answers it gave was wrong...

I mean if Turkey can just decide to change it's name and everyone has to respect it (not me Turkey it is), I don't see why this is different

The problem is that Lemmy isn't at the point where I can browse it like I do on Reddit.

After the API thing killed my main reddit app, I just lurk on like 4 1 million+ user sports/video game/military meme subreddits and check on them every 1h/30min to see 10 new posts or any important news that happened. I check r/all maybe like once every few months.

The relevant lemmys just aren't that active or don't have low-effort post rules, so I'm kind of stuck browsing the front page of Lemmy if I want to see more than 10 posts per day

AFAIK the built-in translator doesn't support Japanese, which is 99% of translation I need and the extension (which is what is was trying to use before) either requires you to select the text that you want to translate one-by-one or run the whole page through translate.google.com, which doesn't work with any page that requires an account to access or triggers ddos protection on some others.

I got some for free because my brother found a store that actually imports them (they aren't available in regular supermarkets) and bought some.

Tastes like a generic sugar-free drink, I'd just go with a regular energy drink since it tastes better

I'm still running a 1070ti, before that it was the R9 390 and R9 390X, both of them died though. One probably had it's voltage regulator fail and the other probably had it's chip die because it will boot windows but die as soon as it had to do any work

My trusty backup is still an FX8320, the main is an I7-8700k with 1070ti

At the same time, sometimes driving license requirements feel like they are too high and a racket.

I got my scooter license by answering 48/50 questions right and doing a 4 hour practical course at the driving center to get it on the same day. I paid $50 to do it.

This license allows me to drive a 50cc bike like an Aprilia RS50, which can hit the speed limit when I drive it on the same roads as everyone else.

First aid is fair enough, but why do I have to pay $1500 to attend a driving school and answer 100 questions or pay $80 to take the 2% chance of passing it at the license test center (because the test is graded by cops and one of the cushy jobs for them before retirement is as advisors at driving schools) to be able to ride something that is marginally faster and heavier?

I think that a lot of people are missing this, my first Windows was Windows XP, so I'm pretty much used to doing everything through a GUI

I ignored Windows 8, and even 10 for a while, but that was because Windows 7 was still working and supported and still kinda is my favorite version of Windows.

Then at some point I just switched to 10 and been using it ever since while installing the occasional distro to see if I can move off of Windows (Answer is still no) or as an emergency desktop bootable USB
