The GOP Is Blocking A Last Ditch Effort To Bring Cheap Broadband To Poor Americans
  • No internet means the gullible masses will remain uninformed and vulnerable to manipulation.

    The GOP wants a solid foundation of uneducated poor to exploit as the base workforce and voter base.

    Cheap idiots to fuel their companies.

  • True story
  • I need a documenter!

    I have a head full of stuff that hasn't had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn't job security, it's a major risk.

    My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along "up-skilling" (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).

  • Former Blizzard president wants to be able to leave a "tip" after completing $70 games: "I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20"
  • Your tip is "make another game and I'll buy it because the last one was good".

    I bought your product and you want me to pay extra because it lived up to what it promised?

    You want me to pay someone more for simply doing their job? If you aren't paying them enough, that they needs tips to survive, that seems like an employer underpaying. If it's tip or I fuck with your food or chase you down in the street... Then that's extortion.

    "But with proper wages instead of tips the cost goes up." THE COST IS ALREADY UP BECAUSE OF THE TIP YOU IDIOT, except it isn't standardised or garunteed.

    "But if there is no tips to incentivise people they won't give good service." What ever happened to do your job, get paid. Fuck it up and get fired.?

    All it does is introduces stress between customer and staff. And causes a sense of entitlement to tips for things that don't need it at all. Why the fuck is a self-checkour machine asking for a tip!?

    A tip should be for EXCEPTIONAL service. Not for the bare minimum.

    Tipping culture can get fucked in the ass with a sideways chair.

  • European car safety body is coming for touchscreens. The European New Car Assessment Programme mandates that key controls need physical buttons or switches
  • I'm happy with a Bluetooth connection to the stereo. I have maps on my phone.

    Fuck carplay/android auto in the ear.

    I hate getting a rental car and I just want my music, but it tries to hijack and download my whole phone.

    I want to get in, connect my phone and go. Not 20 minutes wrestling it for control.

    Digital displays are fine. It's just a display. But controls should be manual (buttons, dials, etc) that can be operated with eyes on road.
