How do pre-reddit influx lemmy members feel?

Reply in thread

I have a pet peeve around people saying "this." When they agree with someone. Idk why... I was hoping I wouldn't see that here but unfortunately it's cropping up.

My concern is that and a bunch of other reddit-isms flood the site. I don't mind redditors coming here but I hope the site can still have its own identity.

There are a few others:

  • "at least the is ok" on videos where someone gets hurt
  • "no shoes therefore dead"
  • "some ninja is cutting onions"
  • "sir this is a Wendy's"
  • Etc.

I mean this reddit post complaining about annoying phrases came out 9 years ago. 9 YEARS. And since then I continue to see so many of those and others.

I don't want to gatekeep either. But certain phrases repeated over and over is just so irritating.

Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?

IMO you can opt out of the "tip at register" sort of stuff if you want. But if a waiter is coming to your table to take your order, bring your food, refill your drinks, etc. Then you really should tip 15%. Waitstaff generally are paid less than minimum wage and it's because of tipping culture.

Here is a source on what they are paid by state. The 2.13/hr states are the ones you really should tip.

I love dishonored! The same can be said about a plague tale too (minus the whale oil). That's been my jam for a few weeks now. Playing through requiem now.

Majority of gamers play with subtitles turned on

Reply in thread

IMO every game on first launch should solicit these options:

  • resolution
  • vsync
  • subtitles
  • brightness
  • colorblind/accessibility options

Most times going into settings are to change one of those options, so why not quickly let the player set them all at once on the get-go? There's a 99% chance at least one of those options will need to change for the player/machine needs.

As a non kbiner I notice it and Lemmy get coupled together a lot in discussions about the fediverse applications. What is the overlap there ? And what are the differences between the two platforms?

Docker - how do you use it for development

I use a volume mount to mount my source code then start up the container. For debugger breakpoints, I attach to the container and treat it like any other process.

You can start up containers with docker manually, but I use docker compose so I can have multiple containers and a checked in yaml configuration for how they should run and depend on each other.

It's optional, but you have to admit if you don't tip, it sends a clear "I didn't enjoy my service/meal" message. Lots of things are optional, but you make it sound like it "doesn't matter". Its also optional to ignore someone when they say "how are you today", but that doesn't make it not rude.

15% is a good compromise. Not tipping at all shouldn't really be considered an option from a cultural standpoint if the service was of good quality.

I'm definitely with you on putting a limit to it. fuck the 20+% tipflation. CoL already is reflected in the meal price going up, and a percentage of that will naturally yield a higher value cuz that's how percentages work. No reason to raise the percentage itself.
