Cool, but until the bigger problem is fixed (broken tax law) you are fucking over the little guy to try and get back at the big guy, with a gesture that’s little more than a bug bite to the big bosses.

Yeah I already said USA, you didn’t need to specify a subregion

Wow! It’s just that easy? You’re going to solve all the world’s problems!

Ah, your superior morality matters more than their livelihood, smart!

Exposure, obviously

Yes, finding a new job is notoriously incredibly easy, and homelessness rates are going down!

Oh wait, no, the exact opposite is true.

Artist is either not American or an Asshole

In everywhere but USA, yes.

In the USA - No, that will just make servers go hungry.

The fix is to change tax law. The reason tipping is so big a deal there is that tax law is FUCKED, servers are taxed as if they were tipped, regardless of whether or not they were. Literally no other country does this.

Yes

I’d say to edit the post to link back to your Tumblr and/or BSky then

If it’s simple and it works, then why change it?

Good for you, guess your setup is less complicated then.

There’s still plenty of stuff that is not a 1-to-1 drop in replacement, e.g. plenty use build previews from netlify, they have no drop-in for other providers so to get those you have to directly interact with the API instead, in a runner

Good for them, still, it’s risky, they just decided it was worth the risk

Momentum and time and effort to migrate.

And there’s automated workflows such as GitHub Actions and ci/cd integrations that don’t have 1-to-1 replacements, which would mean extra work (for quite strained teams of volunteers)

They were violently racist towards Okinawan Japanese at one point, and part of the reason Japan is largely a monoculture now it’s that a lot of the native people on the smaller islands got completely wiped out

Racists my dude, racists.

You see in Reddit, for example, /r/jokes posts that are just straight-up “OTHER RACE IS INFERIOR, LOLOLOLOL” and they can stay up for multiple hours before the mods delete and/or they get enough reports for autoremoval. Or people rolling with that casual racism in a comment, maybe even something they don’t realise it’s racist, and whether they get told to stop or not.

It’s really just about how quickly people respond to racist posts with a shutdown.

OP is innocently asking “have you encountered racists in the wild here, y’know, cause they’re rife on some other platforms” (heck, twitter is basically just The Racism App)
