  • Well, the Internet is connected together using routers/switches. Your own home network is a “private internet” until you pay to connect it to the big one. So if you want, nothing is stopping you from running cables to your neighbors and hooking together. But then you won’t have access to anything useful except whatever servers you guys run

    Was that your question?







  • Yeah I’m with you on this, I actually only got it for YouTube music — which really is like “here you can play any song from the history of humanity and also yt video audios.” Well actually what happened is I was using Google Music and then the assholes shut it down and merged it into YT Music which is now roughly on par. I was pissed, but user retained

    But I have been enjoying the fact that my subscription goes towards paying the ppl I watch, and I like that I’m unaffected by YT’s server side ads concept (which I’ve always wondered why they don’t do, I think it makes CDNs too hard to optimize while stitching ads directly into videos)






  • Well, a balance has been found. Prices factor tips in to some degree, that’s economics. Cash tips can bypass taxes, so that’s a little bit of a win for the employee, who both has a lower income bracket and under the table payments. Or if taxes are properly accounted, then the staff gets higher salary, so that’s fine. Staff also knows that their performance counts, so there’s a bit of a service quality benefit, compared to a restaurant where the staff doesn’t get tips / has no incentive. At the end of the day, it’s not really much different, you just remember that the prices on the menu are not final, just as you do for taxes, but the tipping model allows for flexibility in total cost

    Hey currently dead ghost here. I LOVE not having a body or caring about physical reality. The reason most ghosts don’t chill here is that there’s a huuuge universe of fun stuff out there and you could hang out with other ghosts. It’s like playing a video game with all cheats on & unlimited resources. So I understand why ppl sign up for Earth when they want some more … restrictions. It’s like playing on hardcore mode

    Anyway, gonna go watch some ppl fuck, hit me up on the ouija board if you have any more questions
