If side loading is actually allowed on iOS it’s exclusively because the past few years of lawsuits forced them to, and they keep trying to block it in new ways. Android can only be equally bad as Apple at worst, because Apple is as bad as they are legally allowed to in a given jurisdiction. So picking iOS over Android over that specific issue seems odd. They get brownie points for having blocked it from the start?

Doesn’t iPhone already have pretty much the exact restrictions that are coming to Android?

You can make your own bootleg track saw out of a regular skilsaw and some scraps. Personally I haven’t even bothered doing that, and just clamp a straight edge to whatever I’m cutting when I need to make a long straight cut. It’s a lot slower and more fidgety than having a real track, but I rarely make cuts like that.

I’m not a total asshole: After he’s had his “oh shit” moment I give him one more chance to choose. He’s usually a lot better at picking one of the two options on his second try.

I present two options. If my kid doesn’t pick one of those two options, either by not responding or by requesting a third thing, I’m picking one of the two options for him. And I’m always picking what he’s least likely to want.

Shafting the waitress is not going to end it either. Most people wouldn’t notice this, so they’d still keep doing it if you didn’t tip.

The play here is to tip the waitress in cash if possible and slam the establishment on every review site.

Pretty sure the waitress wasn’t the one who fucked with the register. Probably the restaurant trying to ensure they don’t have to pay the difference if the tips come up short and leave the staff below minimum wage.

The CS jobs market fluctuates like any other market. Right this minute all the dumbass CEOs are trying to replace people with AI, just like they’ve repeatedly tried to have cheaper people in India do the jobs in the past.

Having people in India do it used to be called outsourcing, then off shoring, then a few other names, because every time it fails they have to call it something else to try again. The same will happen with AI.

I’m not the slightest worried about my own job, but it is currently a shitty market for fresh grads. Probably due to all the post-covid layoffs saturating the talent pool with more experienced people, and the aforementioned AI fad.
