I disagree with introducing tipping here. It feels like the public is being asked to prop up the hospitality industry and cover for low wages. If workers aren't being paid enough, that's an issue employers and the government need to fix, not something customers should take on. What do you think? Should tipping become the norm in New Zealand?

The oil depot in Proletarsk, Rostov region, is still burning strongly.
  • GGNZ GGNZ 2mo ago 100%

    Folks, the oil depot in Proletarsk is burning, and it's absolutely fantastic! Tremendous flames, just incredible. Let's hope it keeps burning for a long time—some say it could be one of the biggest, most beautiful fires we've ever seen. And you know what? I'm all for it! This fire is doing great things, believe me.

  • Linkwarden - An open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and preserve webpages | July 2024 Update - New iOS App, Full Page Copy, User Administration and more... 🚀
  • GGNZ GGNZ 3mo ago 90%

    I tried Linkwarden about a year ago and really liked it, but I chose Linkding instead because I couldn't find a way to add bookmarks on Android via 'share'. For Linkding, I used the 'HTTP Shortcut' app to achieve this.

    I will check out the update

  • Why do butchers have yellow breadcrumbs on their meat?
  • GGNZ GGNZ 3mo ago 100%

    I'm unsure why but It used to be the same here in New Zealand, most butchers seem to have transitioned to panko breadcrumbs now.

    The only place i've seen this in the last few years at the cheaper butcher chains like 'The Mad Butcher' and the one in my link below.

    I think OP is talking about this.

    Edit.

    This image from 'The Mad Butcher' includes the breading ingredients.

    Just actually looked into this app thanks to this thread. I always thought it was only for KDE, and I’m more of a GNOME kinda guy. It’s great, and now I have it on all my devices!

    Why do you still hate Windows?
  • GGNZ GGNZ 4mo ago 100%

    I don't hate Windows, but I find Linux a much more natural way to use my PC. I started with Linux in 1996 and have been daily driving different distros since 2010 on all my PCs and servers.

    Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate how flexible and customizable Linux is. The open-source community is always ready to help, making the experience even better. For personal projects or managing servers, Linux is efficient and reliable, and I’ve grown to depend on it.

    On the other hand, I've had to use Windows at various jobs and never found it enjoyable. The constant updates, 'bloatware', and lack of transparency can be frustrating.

    While Windows is user-friendly and compatible with many programs, it often feels less intuitive and more restrictive compared to the freedom I have with Linux.

    Each time I switch back to Windows, I’m reminded why I prefer Linux for both personal and professional use.

    The only other on I've seen was with Urgent Courier's, really handy when expecting a package requiring signature.

    Red Hat mid 90s and then Slackware, Red Hat was more polished but I learnt so much more from Slackware.
