With those tipping screens now seemingly everywhere, Americans think that the practice has “gotten out of control,” according to a new survey.At least 63 percent of US residents now having a negative view of tipping, up from 59 percent last year, according to Bankrate, a financial publisher and comparison service.
Yet, the number of Americans who have gotten used to tipping has gone up since the COVID-19 pandemic, when it slipped. There have not been significant declines in tips for service providers, the survey noted, particularly for hairdressers and restaurant servers.

Ukraine’s drone attack on Russian airfields on 1 June probably damaged about 10% of Russia's strategic bomber fleet, German Major General Christian Freuding has said.
Source: Freuding in a podcast, as reported by European Pravda, citing Reuters
Quote: "According to our assessment, more than a dozen aircraft were damaged, TU-95 and TU-22 strategic bombers as well as A-50 surveillance planes."
Details: According to the general, who coordinates Berlin's military assistance to Kyiv and works closely with the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, the A-50s, which have a similar function to NATO's AWACS aircraft in providing air surveillance, were probably not in working order.
"We believe that they can no longer be used for spare parts. This is a loss, as only a handful of these aircraft exist," he said.
"As for the long-range bomber fleet, 10% of it has been damaged in the attack according to our assessment," Freuding added.
The United States estimates that the daring Ukrainian drone attack hit up to 20 Russian warplanes, destroying about 10 of them, two US officials told Reuters. Experts say it will take Moscow years to replace the affected aircraft.
Despite the losses, Freuding sees no immediate reduction in Russian strikes on Ukraine, noting that Moscow still retains 90% of its strategic bombers, which can launch ballistic and cruise missiles in addition to dropping bombs.
"But there is, of course, an indirect effect as the remaining planes will need to fly more sorties, meaning they will be worn out faster, and, most importantly, there is a huge psychological impact," he said.
Freuding said that Russia felt secure in its vast territory, which also explains why the aircraft were not well protected.
"After this successful operation, this no longer holds true. Russia will need to ramp up the security measures," the general said.

YouTube pulled a popular tutorial video from tech creator Jeff Geerling this week, claiming his guide to installing LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 5 violated policies against "harmful content." The video, which showed viewers how to set up their own home media servers, had been live for over a year and racked up more than 500,000 views. YouTube's automated systems flagged the content for allegedly teaching people "how to get unauthorized or free access to audio or audiovisual content."Geerling says his tutorial covered only legal self-hosting of media people already own -- no piracy tools or copyright workarounds. He said he goes out of his way to avoid mentioning popular piracy software in his videos. It's the second time YouTube has pulled a self-hosting content video from Geerling. Last October, YouTube removed his Jellyfin tutorial, though that decision was quickly reversed after appeal. This time, his appeal was denied.
Seeing him get roasted by the right genuinely makes me feel sympathy for him.
I don't think he realizes the forces at play or where he should be among them.

🎙 A week ago, Tucker Carlson published an interview with me about what happened in France. It was covered by media in many countries — except, interestingly, in France. 🤐

«Il y a une semaine, Tucker #Carlson a publié une interview de moi sur ce qui s'est passé en #France. Elle a été relayée par les médias de nombreux pays, sauf, curieusement, en France🤐.
Les #médias français ne se désintéressent pas de #Telegram. La semaine dernière, #LeMonde, le principal journal du pays, a invité ses lecteurs à signaler s'ils regardent des matchs de football piratés sur Telegram. Cette tentative de collecte participative d'informations négatives à notre sujet s'inscrit dans une stratégie plus large.
Durant les sept semaines après mon arrestation à Paris, Le Monde a publié 40 articles négatifs sur Telegram. En violation de la déontologie journalistique, ils ne nous ont pas sollicités pour commenter 37 de ces 40 articles et ont toujours ignoré les corrections factuelles que nous leur avons adressées. 🤦♂️
Un tel environnement médiatique est alarmant. C'est pourquoi des plateformes comme Telegram sont si importantes : nous permettons aux gens d'accéder à tous les points de vue et de décider par eux-mêmes. Nous sommes convaincus que les gens sont intelligents et qu'on peut leur faire confiance pour connaître la vérité sans filtre. ✊»

Here is who is being targeted by deportation orders in Pennsylvania and New Jersey under Trump.Stephen Stirling (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
Der Ehemann, 36 Jahre alt, wurde festgenommen und dem Haftrichter vorgeführt. Haftbefehl wegen Mordes.
🧕 Die Familie stammt aus dem Jemen.
Der Mann kam 2022 nach Deutschland, Frau und sechs Kinder (zwischen 4 und 10 Jahren) folgten per Familiennachzug. Die achtköpfige Familie wohnt auf Kosten der Steuerzahler in einem Haus in Krailling.
Dieses Einfamilienhaus mit Garten, in ruhiger Wohnlage – ist für unzählige deutsche Familien ein unerreichbarer Traum.

Miete, Unterhalt, Leistungen – alles staatlich gestützt. Und das Ergebnis? Eine Frau tot, sechs Halbwaisen und ein Ehemann, der mutmaßlich Haftkosten im oberen 6-stelligen Bereich anhäufen wird. Sollte er in die Psychiatrie kommen, wird es noch teurer.
