Restaurants rely more and more on tips to make up server wages as cost of living skyrockets and workers need more and more hourly in order to survive. It sucks that businesses aren't making the difference from their own pockets, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't tip. You're not fighting the system, you're denying people a living wage.

I worked at a coffee shop and 40% of my wage was tips. I wouldn't be able to afford to live otherwkse. Please tip your barista.
Tipping isn't really a social norm as much as it is a social imperative-- the food is considerably cheaper than it should be because you're expected to make up the cost difference in tips.
If you're talking about standard security cameras usually the footage will get completely overwritten after afeew days unless there was an incident to prompt review of the footage-- and even then it usually gets deleted at some point. Its not like with social media data gathering where they're collecting all that information in order to build a personal profile of everyone-- security cameras just exist to review incidents that happen in the public realm and there's no real incentive for a public transit agency to track every single person that appears on their cameras.
There's cameras everywhere watching the road too if you really care that much and you better believe your car model and license plate is a much more reliable form of identifying information than a blurry face on a bus security camera.
Kate is great!
There's a lot of non-Chrome Chromium browsers.
Everyone is recommending Tails but I feel like that's a lot more intense security and privacy wise than GrapheneOS, since Tails runs in a live environment only.
I would not really recommend LaTeX or any of those other programs just for writing student papers. LaTeX is for academic papers and it's pretty cumbersome and technical to learn, it would be very very extra to use it for writing just like your random freshman comp paper. I'm not sure why that list doesn't have LibreOffice or OpenOffice or whatever.
I think a non-insubstantial amount of the comment activity was bots to be fair.
I hope so, I just hope that it actually gets some traction in the wake of all this instead of getting a modest bump and then mostly dying out again, which is what seems like the most likely direction. I have faith though
If the owner paid them a living wage the groceries would cost the same as you paid with the tip. That's how it works.
