I’m not going to lie, I’ve been burned by every free VPN I’ve used due to one scandal or another. I just gave up and pay for Mullvad when I need one. I haven’t done much research, but the Brave VPN is probably a decent free one. Or Tor, but it might not be what you’re looking for.

AI bad grrrrr

I just saw Flow in theaters last night. Excellent, wholly original animated movie that conveyed a story without any words.

When I apply for jobs now, I paste the job description at the bottom of my resume in 2pt white text

Omg please tell me when you do, I’m running Mint on my laptop but want to migrate my desktop over soon which has multiple displays

I’m testing out Linux on my laptop, October 13 my desktop moves over too.

Lol our standup+parking lot is scheduled for an hour. Kill me.

TIL I can use my stock as collateral in a mortgage

Ultra net worth individuals, especially ones like Jeff Bezos with a lot of his net worth tied up in one company, can take a personal loan using his stock as collateral to keep up his lifestyle without needing to sell (and be taxed on) anything. It’s only really available for the 1%

Is this also on WhatsApp? I got all the other Meta junk off my phone except that, since I need it for some family abroad

Yes, but Nvidia finally open sourced their driver so hopefully that’ll change soon

I flew on Porter and their “ad” was just a 30 second thing about how they’re a cool airline. That’s fine, although the real cost is that they make you have a rewards account

My real question here is, do they really pay the employees enough for them to actually care?

I don’t mind tipping even at casual cafes and stuff because I used to work at a pizza place and the tips helped a lot. But if the LOWEST option is 30% I’m selecting no tip.

The pain that would come after eating that followed by a fantastic nap

In the US, delivery drivers are paid below minimum wage, not to mention they’re usually using their own cars, so it is expected to tip them to make up the difference. The flyer was saying that the delivery fee doesn’t directly go to drivers, if it did then the tip would actually be optional.

The only way to order from Dominos is to use coupons, and even them I feel like I always spent more than I intend to. I remember a handful of years ago they were putting flyers on the pizza box saying that the delivery few doesn’t count as a tip. Then what’s the delivery fee for???
