  • Meh Firefox is very customizable but not a ton of settings really for critical privacy, compatibility or optimization.

    Chrome and all Google services can get fucked for just the amount of sites, pages, sub-accounts you have to navigate thru JUST to turn off their tracking bullshit.

    I think I have my android and PC as fully isolated from any Google account, software, service or operation short of going full Root of phone and Linux. Which, Linux is on my todo list to go daily driver-Linux and 2ndary boot drive-Windows.

    For now tho, local user Windows account and all google accounts and apps either un-installed or disabled on the phone.












  • Wait do people really not know that servers and bartenders already make below minimum wage before tip? In NY and I think most states have it set up so the specially set minimum wage for tipped service workers + the minimum % you must claim from tips comes out to the state wide minimum wage amount. Everything they make in tips after that is cash in hand no taxes, period.

    The fact this is even up for debate shows the people debating to raise it have no idea what they’re talking about.

    If you suck at you job and keep getting scheduled on swing shifts that see no patrons so no tips, your employer must match the necessary amount to get you to minimum wage. Only ever saw that happen a few times for really really part time servers. But in one or two 4-6 hour dinner rushes at average sized establishment, it was more rare for the servers to NOT take home more than what the cooks made in a 40hr week. 8-12hrs of largely untaxed tips = more than 40hrs @ 12/hr or at least that was the case 7-10 years ago.

    Lesson 2, never go salary working for a restaurant. It turns you into legal slave labor. You will be at that restaurant more than you aren’t for the same fuckin paycheck amount week in and week out. I never went salary but have a record of 91hr work week when the place I was at opened a new location. Made bank hourly but if I were salary I’d be the same amount paycheck for 90hrs of work.

    That’s what we should be looking to improve regulations on. Exploiting faux salary promotions for exploration of labor laws lol
