Is it about helping out workers any more? Or is about companies - often big, profitable companies - not paying their employees a livable wage and pressuring customers to come to the rescue? At the very least, the situation is so confusing now that it's impossible to tell whether a tip is a legitimate thing to do, or whether it's giving in to corporate greed and cynicism.

Just to clarify, I worked in food service as a tipped employee from age 15 into my late 20s. I totally get it, and I always tip waiters, taxi drivers, and other traditionally-tipped employees. But I don't know what to do when everybody expects a tip. And when corporate money-lords add their voices to pressure me, it just sounds too cynical.

Yes and no. It's backed by the Chinese government and pretty much mandatory for living in, working in China. For example, taxes are done with a WeChat mini-app, companies use only WeChat to communicate (email is rare now). During Covid, you could only get tested by using a WeChat mini-app to register, and no testing meant no life. You can't cross into or out of China without using a Wechat mini-app to generate a qr code that they scan at the border. etc etc.

It doesn't do ride-hailing. Didi does that. But WeChat does just about everything else. Oh, and all similar non-Chinese apps are blocked.

It's called "responsive design" i think. I played around with it a bit when learning html years ago. You can get free website templates that have this cooked in - like, you don't need to code anything. Seems easy to do and pretty much an industry standard now. Pretty weird that reddit would choose a trashy option instead.

That's the peat, Pete. If it's too heavy for you, you're drinking the wrong scotch. Try a light Balblair or a Speyside or something similar.

As in South Pacific (my favorite musical) for example. (I'm not gay, i just like musicals ... and i'm not in drag right now neither ...)

Money and Macro has an excellent video clarifying this.

Also with a browser extension. Wikihow has a page on how to do it 5 different ways.

I can't reach it on my Windows 11 computer when the vpn is turned on, but can reach it using Windows when the vpn is turned off (i tried servers in Europe, Americas, Asia).

But on my linux computer i can reach it with the vpn on or off (same vpn company, login, servers). So ... weird.

For some reason i don't know ipleak.net won't load for me. These work too though: https://ipleak.org/, https://browserleaks.com/ip.
