IMHO XMPP / Jabber is the best Instant Messenger (IM) protocol
  • IIRC Google Talk using XMPP and most major messengers having GTalk integration, they pretty much accidentally federated several messenger apps

  • PineTime - a $27 smartwatch that runs open source firmware and software that's easy to flash and easy to modify and tinker with
  • Alright, I'm almost convinced. I've been wanting one since they dropped.

    My Galaxy Active 2 is showing its age and the idea of a smartwatch with the battery life it claims is intriguing. Are those numbers accurate?

  • "Tipflation" may be causing tipping backlash as more digital prompts ask for tips
  • That's protected from happening in my state of Washington, thankfully.

    I've never heard of this happening to insiders in other states, though, because other places already pay minimum wage for kitchen staff.

  • "Tipflation" may be causing tipping backlash as more digital prompts ask for tips
  • I work inside at a popular pizza chain. While tips for pickup aren't required, they are appreciated. But it's wild to think that $16/hr isn't cutting it and rather than pay us more than the minimum, they give us an option to shake a tin cup to our customers. Fucked up.

  • Hello from kbin!

    At least the mobile site is pretty good.
