Would you tip at McDonalds, a gas station, or a grocery or department store? I tip to show appreciation for the value of service provided, doing the basics of one’s job isn’t a tippable event just because they ask for free money.

If he’s a YouTuber and it’s a work expense I’d think the videos he made on it more than offset the cost, pretty sure that’s how it works with the gacha creators that spend $200K on genshin impact

If anyone makes a video of trump high fiving Epstein on the way back to the bedroom of his private jet with a teenager it might be equally disturbing, I hope we don’t find out

Yeah let’s teach 4th graders that read at a 2nd grade level and struggle with multiplication economics, this seems rationale

I get the sentiment but tits are plural, a better analogy is needed

I’ve been playing on my 7840U (integrated graphics) laptop, 1440x900 low settings and FSR averaged around 30fps in early game, so not great but playable

Yes and no, I couldn’t get stable frame rates on ps3 and it wasn’t enjoyable. Like my steam deck but it’s not the “end all be all”

I’ve been a CPA for a decade and don’t use a numpad, though I have to give credit to World of Warcraft for my ability to hit any number with ease. I’ve found you will be most efficient when you never have to leave home row with either hand, so learning to use a trackpoint also helps.

framework said they’re not working on a trackpoint so I feel like my hands are tied, Virgo sounds intriguing but isn’t available

To me calls are more about efficiency, I prefer to have a call and talk through a complex issue for 15 min instead of needing 5+ back and forth emails over an afternoon to get everyone on the same page.

The “front page” experience of seeing general news I should be aware of is getting better but it’s harder to find active niche communities as expected, and I wish there was combined or less fracturing with communities, like having to choose whether to follow technology@lemmy.ml or @lemmy.world since I would assume they’re somewhat redundant

I went big, mostly indie games I’ve wanted to try for awhile, mainly for playing on Steam Deck
