I think her issue isn’t that she’s paying more via fees and tips. It’s that the store is charging her more for every individual item. One would expect to pay the shopper and delivery person for their effort. But realizing that the store is capturing most of that AND charging you more for every item on top of it seems to be the problem. The shopper, delivery person and the buyer are all getting shafted.

I only have 22mbit where I live and no available fiber. There’s no faster service either. We get by with it, but in a full household, it can certainly cause lots of buffering and bandwidth restrictions. When we worked from home, it could be a problem on occasions. I live in a decently sized community in the southeastern US. There’s no excuse for this.

The only reason for starlink to exist is because telcos were allowed to ignore building out infrastructure to serve more areas. I don’t know if incentives were ever provided to get them the capital to be willing to build out the infrastructure in less populates/rural areas.

Realizing that we have turned earth orbit into a garbage pile simply because we refused to step up and do right by our citizens instead of maximizing capitalism certainly stings.

Awesome. thank you so much for helping me navigate the app.

Do you know if there’s some “secret” to upvoting a comment? I can upvote a post easily, but trying to upvote a comment is just collapsing the comment. I guess the icon/region is too small for my finger to find the right spot?

It’s now in the same spot on my phone screen that Apollo used to be in. Well done!

Yes! Thank you! It works perfectly.

Looks good! I’m posting from it now. Excellent job!

Just wondering though… I have an account on another instance. Is there a way to set up more than one in Memmy? It shouldn’t be required, but with all the defederation comments I’ve read, it seems prudent to have more than one account so I don’t end up not seeing posts I’d find interesting.

I tend to mostly just participate by adding comments. But occasionally a create a new post/thread. So I’d say that I’m personally 85% lurk, 14% comment, 1% create/post. I tend to post in more specialized/niche forums versus the big communities. Those have lots of content already.
