The country just last year was limiting energy used after stopping importing energy from Russia. Now it is dealing with a glut of clean energy.

Of course not. Too busy infighting to make any impactful changes.
 
Imagine being expected to tip 40%... This is Washington, USA btw.

Yeah, fuck that.

One of the things I'm glad isn't really common here in the EU. Although I've seen it more and more often when paying. Lots of digital payment terminals have the option to add a tip when paying.

I'd like to add 2-5 euros when I'm very satisfied. Fuck percentages however.
 
The Reddit blackout has begun. I really wonder if this'll end up doing something.
Spez resigning and API call prices not being atrocious would be a great start.

My guy, isn't making profit your job as CEO???

Like, I get that this is probably why they're implementing these godawful pricing rules, but they apparently think that 3P apps just keep millions squared away for shits and giggles? Suddenly demanding $20mil isn't going to make 3P devs go "oh, yeah, no problem!".

And the worst part? It's probably going to go the same way as Netflix banning password sharing - it's gonna work.

I hate that it worked.. https://variety.com/2023/digital/ne...wn-boosts-us-signups-antenna-data-1235638587/
The blackouts send a powerful message though. Especially the ones that are closed "indefinitely".
