It seems like a general, global sentiment to me due to the internet and not just on the internet. I think it’s the combination of our society being more global than ever, and the vastly increased amount of professions due to technological advancement. There’s just way too much information that an average person comes in contact with, our monkey brains weren’t designed for this.

I haven’t seen it used that way yet, but seems like a clever meta. Honestly community notes might be the only good thing on the entire platform. My favorite is when there are community notes on ads.

In my country literally every company that has shopping carts outside does this, but I always thought it’s more against homeless people taking them on a whim.

In my country (in the EU) usually if a service charge is added on top of the order, it’s because that particular place doesn’t accept tips.

The answer to your question is the indie market. Lots of unique ideas, ton of games that are a product of passion and not profit chasing.

My personal recommendation because I don’t see it mentioned a lot is Pathologic 2. Product of decades of work and one of my favorite RPGs where every single choice you make does matter. It’s a pretty bleak and heavy game that has about a 30 hour runtime and it’s really stressful so it’s not for everyone but I personally loved it.

A friend of mine was an arch user and was constantly throwing shit at me for using zorin os, but at the same time was always complaining about something not working like he wants it to and spending too much time tinkering. He recently switched to Fedora.

Who’s laughing now Tom

My favorite quote from one of my coworkers this week: “Why did I expect that copying text from one Microsoft service to another would work?”
