hey tumblr,,, i know it’s not as big of a deal to you because it’s not america,,, but canada is having a net neutrality battle too

I think we’d all really appreciate if you signal boost content that explains all of this. We need help! There are more people in California than in all of Canada, but we still need to fight off big corporations like Bell, Shaw, Rogers, Telus and Cineplex, who are trying to steal our net neutrality. The likelihood that this goes through has nothing to do with it, we need to show our government that THIS ISN’T OKAY. THAT WE CARE ABOUT OUR NET NEUTRALITY! C'MON!

Employers would pocket $6.1 billion of workers’ tips under Trump administration’s proposed “tip stealing” rule

On December 5, the Trump administration took its first major step toward allowing employers to legally pocket the tips earned by the workers they employ.

In case you need more evidence that the Trump administration fucking hates the working class, they are proposing a rule that would allow employers to pocket the tip money earned by servers at restaurants.

For anyone who hasn’t worked in a tipped position before:

“Tipping in” or “tip pooling” is a practice used at some bars and restaurants, particularly higher-end restaurants where a server may easy make $20+ from each table. Servers are required to turn some or all of their tips over to the managements, who then (in theory) redistribute them to other, non-tipped employees – mainly kitchen staff, who are probably also making minimum wage while producing these thirty-dollar entrees. Restaurant owners like to say it’s a way of increasing the pay of non-tipped workers in an industry that operates on razor-thin margins.

In reality, a lot of them just straight-up steal some or all of those pooled tips, rather than redistributing them.

In 2011, the Obama Department of Labor enacted a rule that banned tip pooling even if your tipped employees are making the full minimum wage. (A different law makes it illegal to pool tips if you’re only paying the tipped minimum wage, which is half the regular minimum.) Trump’s DoL wants to rescind that rule, and go further to explicitly state that employers can confiscate pooled tips and are under no obligation to redistribute them.

This wouldn’t just affect restaurants, but salons, hotels and any other business where a significant number of workers are tipped. And the payroll system at some of these jobs is designed to account for tips; at my restaurant job it actually estimated how many tips you should’ve gotten based on your receipts for the day and wouldn’t let you clock out if you reported a lower number. Jo Waitress would be required to pay income tax on tips she doesn’t even bring home.

Eat the fucking rich.

PSA: Fangame Sonic Gather Battle has a malicious DRM, activating when trying to hack it. • r/SonicTheHedgehog

524 points and 120 comments so far on reddit

I haven’t seen anything about this on here yet, so I figured I’d post just in case?

I can’t recommend much if you’ve already downloaded this, but I figure I can at least warn people about it

[foxyfandoms]

Holy shit.

This is downright Malware.

For those that don’t want to read the link and need a TD:LR:

The game has DRM more a virus that not only takes evasive control of your PC to prevent even GOOGLING searched related to hacking the game while it’s installed but connects to a server that blacklists any “hackers”.

That means the the only way to disable the anti-cheat/piracy protection if it triggers is to contact one of the devs to be removed from the blacklist because any attempt at a clean install will check with the sever and trip the protection.

This is some protection-racket level shit and it’s honestly kind of scary even to someone like me that has seen some shit over the years when it comes to malicious programs and DRM.

[cp-chanblogs]

Hey folks- this is EXTREMELY important. 

The game is currently DISABLED- as in, it cannot be played- as the creator has blacklisted everyone from playing once the discovery of malware behaviors was made. This is by far not a norm nor acceptable to the fangaming community- keep in mind that NO ONE thinks this was okay for this creator to add this level of DRM. 

Stay safe and mindful- and even if the game is disabled, it doesn’t mean it’s necessarily safe to download still.

[dragonkisser-blog]

Lmao holy shit

[the-real-seebs]

wow. do not trust this dev. like, ever. someone who would do that should never be allowed to run code on your computer.

[jumpingjacktrash]

yeah, that’s not DRM. that’s malware.

Please Help Me Save My Friend’s Therapy Cats

Hello to my friends in LA, I need your help.  I have a friend who is on a trip atm and apparently, the day after she left her roommate took her two therapy cats to a shelter.  Tomorrow (the 17th) they’ll be put up for adoption and my friend doesn't return until the 27th.  I know it’s a long shot, but would anyone be able to put them up until then?  I’ll think of a way to get you the money to break them out of kitty jail, plus a little extra for any needed kitty supplies plus a little more extra for your help. I know it’s short notice but we’re desperate and could really use your help if you’re able.  My Kitty means the world to me and if something happened to her I’d be devastated so I can’t even imagine what my friend must be going through right now. Thank you so much for your consideration and if you wouldn’t mind reblogging this post I’d really appreciate it.

Also Tony’s and T’Challa’s suits are designed to do entirely different things. Stop calling Tony’s suits primitive when compared to T’Challa’s and stop assuming that T’Challs are the be all end all. T’Challa’s is designed to use in close combat. Tony’s is designed to be able to fight long distance, dismantle things, and cause more damage on a bigger scale to an enemy. 

[beautifulparadisefury]

Could people maybe fucking praise Black Panther for being amazing and great WITHOUT being a piece of shit about it? Like by all means, be excited for black panther and support him as a black hero. Don’t use him as an excuse to bash on Tony. 

And neither should white supremacists use Tony to bash Black Panther.

If net neutrality does get destroyed (which I highly doubt will but just in case,) there are many free VPNs you can install and use to bypass the website blocking and payments.

[zoesv-deactivated20180721]

here’s some useful free VPNs, pals

[zoesv-deactivated20180721]

Given the unfortunate results of today, I figured I would post this again. Good luck friends.

[witchiestsuggestions]

I should mention this should not stop your protests, calls, emails, etc. This is only a plan B, worst case scenario, back up.

Keep calling your reps

[witch-apologist]

Betternet too.

[deniedmysign]

Also, you should check your VPNs against lists of Five eyes, Nine eyes, and Fourteen eyes, if possible. Five eyes (US, UK, Canada, NZ, Australia) all spy on each other in agreement. Maybe they’re not spying on their own citizens, but they’ll ask another country to do the spying for them. Nine Eyes (Five Eyes + Denmark, France, Holland, Norway) is just expanding this agreement to spy on each other for the other governments. Fourteen Eyes (Nine Eyes + Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, Spain) just expands this more. Now, I know not everyone can afford a VPN outside of these countries, and I feel for you. A good VPN in one of those countries is better than none at all. If you can afford a ‘low price’ VPN, trust.zone has frequent sales, and is based in Seychelles, they don’t keep records of anything but you using their service. They don’t know or care what you’re doing with it. There are other good VPNs like this, they usually cost money though. Shopping around is important. Keep on your toes, and absolutely keep on your reps to shut down the destruction of net neutrality.

[solluxisms]

If you can afford it/catch trust.zone on sale, it is absolutely the best I’ve seen. No logs, it’s outside the U.S., no data caps or throttling, locations around the world. It also offers DNS leak protection to protect against certain scenarios where a VPN without that function could leak the site you’re visiting to your IP.

You can pay in a myriad of methods, including bitcoin. The few occasions they’ve had connectivity issues they resolved them quickly and added free time to customers’ subscriptions as an apology. And they have a free trial as well (1GB cap, no bandwidth limit.)

They’re actually having a huge holiday sale right now! (as of 12/15/17) Among other deals, you can get a year for $40.
