Tipping is getting out of hand. I know there are many people who rely on tips to take home something that often doesn't even approximate a living wage. Business would have you believe that without tipping, they would have to raise prices to make up the difference. Maybe there's a little truth there, but fundamentally, when Wall Street continue to report string growth numbers, maybe corporate greed needs to be tamped down a little rather than gouging consumers to pay employees. https://www.wsj.com/articles/tipping-self-checkout-restaurants-airports-c3e09f7

I don’t understand tipping in this (or most other) context. I’m all for people getting a fair wage so that tipping is not necessary. It’s interesting that this has come up with a store that’s unionized. Coincidental? I think not. Will you tip a sales rep at an Apple Store? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-03/apple-s-unionized-store-workers-seek-tips-and-higher-holiday-pay?cmpid=BBD050723_POWERON&utm_medium=share&utm_source=website&utm_term=230507&utm_campaign=mobile_web_share

I've know for a long time that I can deploy EKS on Fargate. Today I played with it - I'm hooked. #aws

Tried a couple of times now to switch away from @overcastfm, not because it isn't awesome (it is!) but because I've been finding more and more I just want to use the included stuff from Apple. I keep coming back to @overcastfm because there really is no better podcast app out there - I've tried almost all of the ones worth trying. I just need video playback for it to be complete!
