  • This entire tipping thing is terrible - including for dashers themselves.

    It means dashers income heavily relies on strangers being kind enough to leave some extra.

    It means customers are gonna feel bad for not paying more than their order amount (and they probably will pay the tip)

    It means company can employ slave labor for extremely low pay and still have people willing to do this.

    Tipping benefits only one party - the companies. We need to stop it.

    Recommending Linux is good; forcing it down someone’s throat is not.

    If parents are just comfy using Windows, it’ll get them super frustrated when they’ll face new issues coming from Linux use, as you just can’t turn Linux into Windows and they never asked for it.

    Now, if they complain about all the shit Windows throws at them, you can offer an alternative.









  • Bonus point: they will be about passion, not the money.

    Not saying money shouldn’t be there - we need to support free creators so they could make a living and pursue their passion - but copyright is too often not about that in particular, being owned often not by the authors and squeezing everything if the creation gets popular.


  • For text, I’d go with HuggingChat based on open-source Llama model. Previously there was Open Assistant, but it got closed. For pictures, renowned Stable Diffusion is the way to go. For music - Stable Audio, respectively.

    Please note that none of them are GPL-licensed, so while they are open-source, they can sadly get commercialized in some form in the future. Also, while models are free, in order to meaningfully use them you have to either go through their service (which may annoy with registration, or even take payment for premium features), or train the model yourself (which is unrealistic for a home user). So this is still far from perfect, but it’s miles ahead of trash options from the original comment.
