They really do hide the final price until the last second when you’re most committed.

This was going to be made illegal in California, but restaurants got an exception added to the law at the last minute. It’s illegal in other industries now though - for example, Ticketmaster’s listed/advertised prices in California have to include all fees.

I don’t order delivery, but I do order pickup, and I like when restaurants have online ordering using the same system they use in the restaurant. It’s common with restaurants that use modern PoS systems like Toasttab. Prices are the same as if you order in person, since they don’t have to also pay another third-party (DoorDash, etc).

And the Lieferando fees are hidden (paid by the restaurants).

Restaurants pay DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc. too - it costs them 30% of the order price. So the restaurant pays a lot, and the customer also pays a lot. I don’t understand how people are comfortable with this business model.

It’s frustrating when apps apply Linux-specific behavior to other platforms. No windows apps should be just throwing hidden folders into the user directory!

Directories can have spaces in their name on other platforms too. On Linux, you can set the XDG environment variables to whatever you want, so eg. instead of using ~/.config for config files, you could use ~/My Config Files

Is it a good idea? No. Should every well-behaved app handle it? Definitely.

A lot of apps mess up local vs roaming AppData too. Roaming is for things that would make sense in a roaming profile (ie to sync to other systems) whereas local is for things that should only exist on this system (caches, machine-specific configs, etc)

Bring back WinFS.

I’m from Australia so maybe things were different there, but my parents had cable in the 1990s and 2000s and I don’t remember there being ads back then other than promotions for different shows on the same channel. I haven’t used cable since maybe 2006 so it’s definitely possible it’s changed since then.

I know the US cable channels have a lot of ads these days, but I moved to the USA in 2013 and don’t have experience of how it was like before then.

The antenna days are still here. I’ve got a HDHomeRun and use it with TiviMate and Plex. It’s great for local news/shows and gameshows. I find new restaurants through local shows that review restaurants for example.

People who grew up with ads were okay with it because the shows and movies were free.

Not sure how my wife would feel about that lol

I got the exact same message, twice, from two different accounts.

Some of the first ever spam messages were also sent on a decentralized, federated forum: Usenet.

Sure, but anyone can just spin up a new instance that federates with the large instances. For example, my instance is literally just me using it.

Also, if that were to happen, Lemmy could be modified to restrict it so that only admins could see that list.

The good thing about Lemmy is that due to its distributed and federated nature, it can’t be fully blocked. You can just use a different instance and see all the same content (assuming instancea that don’t block the other instances).
