  • I worked at a small family-owned coffee shop for a while. They were proud of the fact they paid 25 cents over minimum wage. I’ll be honest, the tips were good and I was averaging roughly $28/hr with tips. Tips paid with card were taxed, and cash tips were uh… well, you’re supposed to report those technically.

    But if we wasted so much as a napkin or an ounce of milk there would be repremands. Meanwhile the owners upgraded their Tesla and bought themselves a second house to rent out for supplemental income.

    I don’t blame the tippers. Employers can afford to pay a fair wage. They’re selfish and they can’t manage their own business properly.





  • Non-tech user here. Well I’m tech-minded I think, and tech-savvy. I know enough code to say that I thoroughly dislike PHP and Javascript. But that’s about it.

    I think “fediverse” and “instances” are terms many non-tech-oriented might find confusing. and off-putting, maybe because they’re not immediately intuitive. I’m aware of the concept of instancing but wasn’t sure how or where to create an account at first. I made an account on world because I figured I’d probably see more content there? I don’t know.

    And making a new account for each instance? I’m not entirely sure if that’s how it works yet but that’s my understanding. It’s intimidating, it’s daunting. Plus I’m not as tech savvy as a lot of the people here. It’s not that it’s uninviting, really–quite the opposite, in fact–but I still have this imposter syndrome-like feeling that I’m not supposed to be here.

    Idk. That’s my take.
