      If you use Voyager, go to the settings and turn on the setting that opens links in Reader Mode. You’ll be able read articles without all that BS.

        I initially got around it by opening in safari and hiding distracting items but I like this solution better.

          Safari also has a reader mode. You can choose to set it automatically based on the site.

          These modes disable JavaScript and makes articles much easier to read. It works with some paywalls too, but not all.

          I’m not sure. Maybe post about it in the Voyager community and the devs can advise or add it?

          !voyagerapp@lemmy.world

          EDIT: I did a search in the community for Reader Mode on Android and it looks like Android doesn’t have an API that allows for apps to use Reader Mode, but Safari on iOS does.

          TLDR; They can’t add it to Android because Chrome doesn’t support that feature.

              It’s on the General Settings tab. I just learned that it doesn’t work on Android though because Chrome doesn’t support that feature.

                  I wouldn’t have any way of knowing what settings are on Android, would I? I don’t know if there’s a Chrome version or not.

                  I’m just trying to help other people find a cool feature.

      They went from threatening people’s jobs if they didn’t use more AI, to threatening people’s jobs if they use too much AI.

      And it’s ALL the workers’ fault, the dummies. Let’s replace them all with AI.

        I would say that Uber is a shitty company. Tipping is bs, you should get paid a decent salary and it’s your employer’s responsability to do that.

          Ok… Unfortunately, the current model is absolutely not that. So I’m not going to make the person making Uber deliveries to make ends meet suffer by stiffing them on the tip

                  Yeah I know. I also imagine that’s the #1 way they get stiffed on tips so might be less likely to accept the delivery

        I think the user decides how much to tip in advance, and the app conveys that information to potential matches. Orders with low tips tend to sit there unclaimed, because no driver wants to bother with that

        I’m not sure if Uber does it that way, but Doordash does.

          Yeah but how cheap is the delivery itself, if the total with tip is under $2?

          I never go less than $5 when I use these apps, and I usually get pretty good service

            But you’re seeing a screenshot of an unmatched order that no driver has claimed yet. I’m saying that unless an actual match is accepted, that’s not really evidence that people in a place don’t tip well, just that some people don’t get their orders filled.

            If you never give less than $5, then any order you’re involved in will involve at least a $5 tip. That may not be representative of the orders you’re not involved with.

              Right, I guess I assumed it was posted because it’s a normal occurrence in that area.

              That may not be representative of the orders you’re not involved with.

    You know what’s crazy is we’re still in the “charge not enough to make money” phase of these VC backed startups trajectory. It’s gonna be wild when we aren’t in the “hook the users with unrealistic token prices” phase.
