But that’s a huge downside to most people.

I didn’t say tipping wasn’t a thing for delivery drivers. I said it was not typical for contract work. But regarding this comparison, tipping was in no way expected for deliveries before the apps. Del drivers back then were given a livable base wage and were reimbursed for mileage and gas on their vehicle, which the apps also do not do. I know because I did deliveries in college before the apps. It was also normal to tip less than 10% of the purchase price for delivery, yet the suggested tip values in app are always 10% or more. And another difference is drivers weren’t allowed to pick deliveries based on the tip value, but that’s how the apps work making your “tip” effectively the payment for delivery speed. That’s not how tipping is supposed to work.

But back to what I originally said, tipping is not typical for contract work. There is no other type of contract work where tipping 10-20% is expected other than delivery, ridehsare, and other similar new apps, so the apps created this trend for contract work, and it’s merely a way to pressure the customer to pay their workers so they don’t have to.

This is simply a company using legal distinctions to shift the blame. These delivery drivers should be employees of the company. Besides, tipping is not topical for traditional contractors. Any payment is agreed upon ahead of time in the contract, and payment is made in accordance with said contract. Tips never enter into it.

I haven’t seen any obvious astroturfing yet, but your last paragraph really did have the vibe of a smoothly transitioned paid promotion. Not saying it was, but even the comments that you haven’t fully bought into it made it feel even more like one of the more honest paid promotions.

Great point. I find it hilarious that every post in this comm that makes it to the front page has people complaining about the presence of the update, and it’s often the most upvoted comment. Your fb analogy is perfect.

Probably an unintentional mistake rather than a concious design decision. I think they used a transparent background instead of white, so it accidentally looks evil in night mode. To test, switch your phone out of night mode and see if it schanges the face to white along with the background.

My app is a themed with a dark green, so you may need to update your app.

While collecting more data is better, it is also more time consuming. And honestly who checks more than the last dozen comments when looking at a user? I would always do that in addition to looking at the score. Now I only look at the last comments and therefore have less data on which to draw a conclusion.

No. Currently it only shows you the post and comment count.

Example:

Posts = 3
Comments = 10

In some instances/apps, it used to show you a score of your total upvotes for those posts and comments. So if you had 3 posts that each net 7 upvotes and 10 comments that each net 5 upvotes, your score would be:

Posts = 21
Comments = 50

The entire score has been removed, so you can rejoice.

Damn, linked right to the dev’s comments on git. Thanks you so much for that.

Interesting. I’ve browsed mostly using voyager (which copies the look of Apollo for Reddit), so it looks like I should direct my question there.

You should take the poor guy to a vet. Desperate farts should not be neglected.

Then you’d most likely be told that part isn’t downloaded yet, but thats quite an edge case since there will be very few people downloading the game that have a previous save point from any point in the game, let alone the later part.

But if the game devs wanted to plan for that edge case, they might check your account for save points and prioritize content after your save point first.

Even if the former’s 99%, Reddit does not give a shit as long as they collect the revenue.

This is basically Citizens United for Reddit, but substantially worse because at least with CU, they’re required to disclose donors. Reddit allows these awards to be bought anonymously, so you’re rarely able to understand who is doing the manipulation.

It’s not really up to Lemmy.

Please check your local laws regarding scooters and other electric powered vehicles bike lanes. If it’s legal, go ahead and ride there all you want.

Mine is from 2007, and I’m at the same crossroads as you are.

And it works, so the quotes around “preserve” are absolute bullshit.

And before you accuse me of being a shill for big chip, try putting both a sealed bag of your chips and an unsealed but folded closed bag of chips in your backpack with your laptop and books for a day walking around, and see which one has larger, more complete chips at the end of the experiment.

Yeah, that seems really shitty, and I don’t recall Apple ever doing that before.

Edit: just did some research, and it seems Apple used the smaller battery to reduce the weight of the phone so that the pro would be lighter than the base model. Additionally the smaller battery doesn’t equate to less battery life because the A17 chip in the pro model is more power efficient than the A16 that’s in the base model.

You also have a lot of movement of people between countries in the EU, and international SMS still isn’t unlimited/free for most mobile plans worldwide.
