I think the issue here is that the game developers may not have any contract with PRS. Historically they wouldn’t have had to - they’d license the music from the big music labels, stamp their game onto a CD and sell a product. Now they’re not just selling a product - they’re licensing access to a “performance” of it. Valve is the playing an active part in this by “performing” the works on demand. It seems stupid to me, but that’s the world of content licensing.

But with Steam you haven’t purchased a copy. First sale doctrine isn’t likely to apply. You’ve purchased a license for access.

I’m not sure I follow the all-in-one schema issue? Won’t each endpoint have its own schema for its response? And if you’re updating things asynchronously then doesn’t versioning each endpoint effectively solve all the problems? That way you have all the resilience of the xml validation along with the flexibility of supplying older objects until each participant is updated.

Their moderation approach is a big part of why it’s a great place to search for answers.

It was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

So one of his examples is that he bought stolen goods and when they were returned to the original owner he felt he deserved them as well? If he didn’t submit a charge back he’s complicit in supporting this fraud. The vendor should have offered to sell him a copy for the price he paid to the scammer instead.

I tried Jellyfin out on my most recent build - don’t think it’s quite as good as Plex so far. Still using it though - I think either is perfectly fine for a simple home media server.

Servers make the same federal minimum everyone else does, their employer just gets to claim ~$5.50 an hour from tips in order to pay it. More in states with a higher minimum.

If no one tips the employer has to pay the full minimum wage themselves, not just $2.

I don’t understand how this is any different to just not tipping? Both situations lead to the worker needing to look for another job, right?

This is just wrong. If tips stopped tomorrow you’d still get whatever your state minimum wage is (or at least the $7.50 federal minimum).

The standard federal minimum wage still applies. If tips aren’t enough to get you there then the employer has to make up the difference.

Tips are literally a subsidy paid to your employer so that they don’t have to pay you (just the $2.13 federal tipped minimum wage).

Your advice would require people to drastically change their lives right now. Everything’s tipped.

Telling people to stop tipping requires almost nothing from them.

And yes, it will make things worse for the exploited workers - they’ll have to find new jobs if they’re not happy with their agreed-upon remuneration. But it’s this that will convince the employer to pay more - if they can’t attract staff they’ll have to offer more

Stopping tipping also puts the burden where it should be. You are the one saying your pay isn’t enough (and thus need tipping) - you fight for it yourself.

It’s so much nicer travelling in places where service workers are valued by their employers.

I still support the anti-tipping people though - it’s the single best option they have to effect change. It’s something small, concrete, and moves things to the desired end-state.

Stop tipping and donate the amount to community organizations fighting poverty instead.

I quite like adding a fuzzy finder to the history search - helps when I can only remember part of the command line I was using. Have just started using atuin.sh which seems okay.

Why not? He was personally seeing to their security.

If you outsource your work, you outsource your reputation. BYD is absolutely responsible for the conditions of the workers.

You might need to try a different therapist.

I can’t tell whether this is supposed to be advice on what to do or not. I can certainly see people getting upset at all of them for putting your feelings and perspective at the forefront however.

Any possibility, no matter how small, becomes a certainty when dealing with infinity. You seem to fundamentally misunderstand this.

Why would you need to buy your own crypto? The only purpose of these trades is to mislead others.
