The central feature of their business IS having drivers WAITING when a ride is requested.
So yes - it would be fair if they included some “waiting time” for each ride (maybe up to 15 minutes of actual waiting time).
These apps ONLY have value if there are drivers WAITING when a ride is requested, so drivers should be paid for that.
Okay…
Give me the math of how this new wage would help you “make a killing”.
Keep in mind that this wage merely sets a floor for the specific-minutes when you have a fare.
If you wait 10 minutes for a fare… give a 20-minute ride to some suburban house… and then drive 20 minutes back to the city…
your pay would be $10.83 (with this new deal).
…that’s very different from $32.50 per hour.
Does an airline baggage-handler only get paid for the “specific minutes” when he is lifting luggage?
Does a cashier only get paid for “specific minutes” when there are customers in her line?
The original goal of this lawsuit was to classify drivers as employees under state law…
And that goal was ignored completely.
It’s not as much as it seems…
The wage is only “for time spent traveling to pick up riders, and transporting them to their destination”.
No pay for driving back to the pickup area.
No pay for waiting when there are no fares.
It’s a per-minute wage, and only for certain minutes.
Yeah, I understand what you mean (after a year of exploring the Web Socket).
That lemmy auth value is pulled from a JWT cookie in the browser - which you can access in JS by document.cookie. It allows user-specific API calls (retrieving saved posts, subscribed communities, etc).
Yes exactly - living on the edge!
One way to learn the new API is - explore the code of (similar) extensions and browser scripts, to see how they build and send their calls.
Is there a specific API call you’d like to make?
Maybe someone can reveal that method and endpoint.
Just pick one of the suggestions and start doing it.
There are a lot of great ideas in your other post.
You can see all open feature-requests and bugs in the memmy github repo.
In some cases, you can read dev comments about fixing that issue.
That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.
It’s fun to run test builds - and I love when a new version is ready.
And the new text-size slider is most excellent.
To find new communities - go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, click the top right “Home” icon and input your home instance (ex: lemmy.world)… now you can open/subscribe to every community you like.
Get a good mobile app - they are listed here (with a ton of other great new-user tips): https://lemmy.ml/post/1470777
Change your default “Sort Type” to “Subscribed + New” (in settings) - now you have a fresh feed of your exact interests, every time you open Lemmy.
Communicate in a genuine, open-minded way - to me, Lemmy is a good place to really connect with people, and have honest discussions (versus the often more ‘performative’ tone of greeddit).
This cleans up the post info very well - it looks great, thank you :)
Yeah Open Source is the foundation, and the future!
Yeah - the name was changed from Limbo to Liftoff, but they kept the same invite code.
It is the correct link though - that URL is identical to the invite URL in the newest Liftoff welcome post.
Go to the app store, and install the app called Test Flight.
Then click this invite link (on your phone)
Click ‘Start Testing’
Yes, I see the same glitch - in both local and remote unsubscribed communities:
Both “Subscribe” and “Block Community” are showing as plain text, yet they are probably meant to be a tags, like the “Create a Post” button:
<a class="btn btn-secondary d-block mb-2 w-100 " href="/create_post?communityId=92531">Create a post</a>Good catch - you could create an issue on the lemmy-UI issues
I agree, there is a time for purposeful sarcasm.
To me, it requires two conditions:
A person has already expressed their real perspective to a specific ‘opponent’, and
That specific opponent cannot see the hole in their own logic.
This Norm MacDonald radio clip is a good example.
He explains his true perspective, and only switches to sarcasm for one sentence (at 5:25), to show the opponent how she is being goofy [and it works].
His foundation of sincerity gives context to the sarcasm.
Conversely - nowadays - a common ‘communication style’ is to just spray aimless sarcasm at distant or imaginary foes,
which (to me) reflects a deeper cultural issue…
a hiding behind mockery, a suppression of real constructive bravery,
just dunking on one-dimensional charicatures of strangers (who might not actually exist).
[So I agree with you - there are times for purposeful sarcasm.]
This is a very short story about sarcasm:
Ted opposes racist rants.
Yesterday - Ted posted a few exaggerated racist rants (sometimes with the /s).
2,177 people saw Ted’s racist rants.
50% of them guessed he was joking.
98% of them would not have seen a racist rant yesterday, if it weren’t for Ted’s little gag.
So the question is:
Despite the sarcasm… isn’t Ted just spreading more of what he honestly deplores?
Is Ted subverting his own integrity?
Why not say how we actually feel?
I’m waiting for the math… Support your claim that you would “make a killing”.
I don’t see how you would…
The most you could possibly make would be $32.50 in an hour… (and that’s ONLY if you had a fare for ALL 60 minutes of an hour… and somehow still made less than $32.50 from those fares).
…And you’d be driving your own car and burning gas for that whole hour…
So show me (with math) how you’d be “making a killing”.
