My god, that is absolutely something I have. It’s something I struggle with every single day working gig jobs that exploit people but provide necessary freedom right now. Whether it’s Uber’s masterclass in exploitative UX or just restaurant treating me or other people poorly I’m almost constantly angry when I’m working and it’s so hard to let go. I’ve complained to Uber about issues, written poor yelp reviews, etc. but no one actually cares so I feel powerless and voiceless. The best thing I can do is blacklist places that disrespectful of people and shove my anger at the gig company in a box until I can escape this situation.

A coworker once defined regex as a write-only language and he definitely had a point. I love regex but it can be time consuming figuring out exactly what a complex regex expression is doing.

At least for delivery I think what gig companies have done in places that require an hourly rate is keeping your acceptance rate over a certain percentage per hour and/or have to take a minimum number of orders.

The primary thing that delivery drivers from accepting an order is if the payment (mostly the tip) is too low, if you’re paid by the hour that’s not much of an issue anymore. Other factors that would still be relevant are things like, is it too many miles (gas, wear and tear), is the pickup or delivery in somewhere that isn’t safe or that doesn’t have (free) parking, is it a restaurant that treats drivers rudely, is it taking you too far from where you need to be at a certain time, etc.

Other than 8Bitdo and PS controllers the only other one I hear people talking about is GuliKit’s Kingkong Pro 2. Like 8Bitdo Ultimate it has hall effect sensors for the sticks and shouldn’t drift in the lifetime of the controller. It does have wired and wireless support, solid battery length and a gyroscope. GuliKit also makes the popular hall effect sensor replacements for Steam Deck and Switch. It’s at the top of my list to try but I haven’t gotten one yet.

Timberborn has been my partner and I’d obsession recently, it’s an fantastic game though you do run out of things to do in its early access state.

Why not just use an Xbox controller? I love my Elite Series 2.

I’m assuming Steam Deck supports it since almost everything else does, I’m finally getting later this week.

This would also open it up for running SteamOS VMs on Apple Silicon Macs. I was surprised how few distros actually supported arm I switched over and none of the gaming oriented ones I looked for had ARM support.
