Seeing how your comment already gained 3 upvotes I'm sure I'm missing something. ELI5?

They think they are making a point but its embarrassing!
Maybe you should just start paying your wait staff a proper wage, where proper means a liveable income. That way your waiters can turn around and eat at your diner too, increasing your profit.

A position of power... where you can act with impunity... what type of person did you expect that to attract?

We're the best country in the world... at refusing to value people's work.

Why Linux on that machine? Why not BSD or OpenDarwin?

Discussion: Programming conventions for On/Off functions. Singular or separate?
What's common among other C++ programs in a similar ecosystem? Mimic that.
For instance, among OTP applications in Erlang, it is common for an application to publish a :start/0 and :stop/0 function, alongside :load/0 which neither stops nor starts, and sometimes :connect/1 and :disconnect/1 functions.

So the innocent rebel lost his job die to false accusations. Can he now sue those who jailed him and caused his undue duress for damages?

Chat Control: EU Council vote is a Green Light for Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance and the End of Right to Communicate Anonymously
Remember that the Council is meant to protect and enable trade. They only care about citizens for submitting them to exploitation.
If you discuss "the EU" you have to distinguish between Council and Parliament. The Council has no obligation to act according to the Parliament's wishes. They are not a democracy.

In the mean time, sites are getting DDOS-ed by scrapers. One way to stop your site from getting scraped is having it be inaccessible... which is what the scalpers are causing.
Normally I would assume DDOS-ing is performed in order to take a site offline. But ai-scalpers require the opposite. They need their targets online and willing. One would think they'd be a bit more careful about the damage they cause.
But they aren't, because capitalism.

Thank you, Comrade Trump | The Strait of Epstein crisis is going to do more to accelerate permanent, unidirectional migration away from fossil fuels to cleantech than decades of environmental activism
Maybe. Or it's going to force people to buy energy from local coal plants that this dictator forced to reopen.

Just Stop Oil protesters convicted after being denied right to state climate facts
One judge rules you can be a public nuisance while protesting. Another says you can't. Time for a higher court to rule.

Serverless Is An Architectural Handicap (And I'm Tired of Pretending it Isn't)
My app went from a single code base that handles a million different actions to a million code bases that each handle a single action, but they still all depend on each other and still are tightly coupled, but now they're spread out across 50 disparate cloud services so maintenance effort only got worse.
