I still love my fairphone 3+. Had it for several years and have yet to need to do any repair or replacement. Pleasantly surprised and impressed! I also love that I can easily put a different OS on the phone (currently using e/os).

The admin for my instance claims that 0.18 is very buggy, won't update the server until the next version is out and bugs are fixed. The new Jerboa still runs for me, but its a bit wonky... I might just downgrade back to the previous version until its sorted out.

In all honesty, I will probably just tip the minimum amount and try not to let it get to me. Its not like I'll be out eating by myself anyway, there will be plenty of social pressure to help me along :)

But imagine if all jobs worked this way. Oh, you wanted a good outcome for your surgery? Maybe you should have tipped your surgeon! Oh, you wanted your taxes done correctly? Should have tipped! Sorry boss, I would have gotten you that report on time, but you forgot to leave me a tip!

I also think its silly that tips are based on the price of your meal, as if that has anything to do with the service whatsoever. So the person who ordered a steak pays more in a tip than the person who ordered a salad? Why? It would make way more sense to tip based on time spent in the establishment. I would understand a standard 5$ tip per half-hour or something way more.

But isn't the the employer who is the asshole for not paying a living wage?

Well if the deadline was 2025, then the EU just probably wouldn't have any new smart phones until 2027 anyway. I think its a decent compromise that gives manufacturers a chance to redesign their new models.

A tip less than $4.81 means you expect the driver to earn less than minimum wage.

I disagree - it means you expect them to earn a wage regardless of how much you tip. Bosses should pay their workers a living wage, period. DD drivers shouldn't have to rely on the kindness of strangers.

I've had a Fairphone for a couple years now, didn't realize its Ubuntu ready? How if the Ubuntu smartphone OS?

I feel the same way about big games, and just yesterday I was feeling the same anxiety after the tutorial island in TOTK. I usually feel I need to find every secret and every korok sees etc. But this time I'm trying a new strategy - letting the game lead me. Some NPC says "go do this now", OK I do that and try not to get side tracked. Supposed to visit a certain town next? Then I go there! The game (so far) does seem linear or at least it offers that option*, so when I'm overwhelmed, I follow that line.

Cool! Anyone here have experience playing it on the Deck?

Omg I didn't know this! Though I did wonder why my "all" feed seemed to empty.

The Joy of Cooking

Dead Cells! Playa great on Switch. Highly addictive.

Prey was awesome and ran great! I had a great time with Surviving Mars. Just "finished" Necesse in it's current EA form.

I'm currently traveling and really enjoying Against the Storm on the deck. Its easy to pop in for twenty minutes or just sink a couple hours into it. Runs super smooth on the deck.

While cool, is it really that interesting to fly around Arrakis? As I recall from the novels, its definitely mostly just sand....

It really is absurd.

Came here to say this. I love my Fairphone!!

Whatever you do, don't cross the streams!

I finally started Frostpunk! Things were going so well....then the storm came, my people started freezing to death and executed me. Looking forward to starting another uplifting play through today!

I'm deep into TOTK, though I'm looking forward to getting started with Don't Starve on my Deck.

I could stare at images like this for ages, so awesome.

Seen this, love it lol

ha ha thanks for this!

This is the one!

I'm on Ubuntu Studio and using Ardour (though I also got Reaper and have been meaning to try it out). There is a LinuxAudio community here on Lemmy you can visit to get some advice!

I have the day off, on my way to get some tattoo work done. Good start to the week!

Yeah I guess I'll have to see how comfortable I am in the situation. I feel like the stupid system will never change unless people just stop tipping.

Awesome! No reports on protondb yet for it...

The only thing I could find on F-droid was "LoopBoard" which seems to no longer be receiving updates.

This is correct! I'm a citizen, but have been gone for so long I feel like a foreigner. Its been a number of years since I've been back.

One of the best answers so far, thanks! I'm not a foreigner, but I've been gone for over half my life, so it certainly feels like it. Coming back it always a culture shock.

This was my most played game for quite aong time. I can't believe all of the content that was added since I gave up trying to win with 5 boss cells. Maybe its time to try again...

I don't remember the exact page, but there are a few websites that will deDRM an amazon eBook for you for free.

I just started reading "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler and its crazy how real the dystopia she depicts seems. It feels like we're only a decade or two away from that reality.

I haven't tried it yet! As fun as Prey was, it was also scary and stressful lol. I needed a break from the genre :)

Such a cool (and generous) idea! I only recently got back into gaming thanks to the Steam Deck. MO:Astray looks right up my alley. Crossing my fingers for some upvotes!

Depending on where you live... Fairphone! Its an ethically sourced and manufactured smart phone that you can buy preloaded with e/os (a fork of lineage).

What game is this?

I missed the.mark in the last giveaway, but I thought I'd try here for Minecraft Story mode! I loved the original Minecraft, but somehow always got bored/stuck at the same point. It was always missing direction for me and I was no longer willing to grind to get ahead.

Story mode looks like it combines the fun of MC with some linear gameplay to keep things moving.

Thanks for doing the cool.giveaway!!
