At least for delivery I think what gig companies have done in places that require an hourly rate is keeping your acceptance rate over a certain percentage per hour and/or have to take a minimum number of orders.

The primary thing that delivery drivers from accepting an order is if the payment (mostly the tip) is too low, if you’re paid by the hour that’s not much of an issue anymore. Other factors that would still be relevant are things like, is it too many miles (gas, wear and tear), is the pickup or delivery in somewhere that isn’t safe or that doesn’t have (free) parking, is it a restaurant that treats drivers rudely, is it taking you too far from where you need to be at a certain time, etc.

Yep, your server probably wiped cookies and authentication tokens after the Lemmy zero-day hack. Most clients haven’t been written with adequate error handling for something like this because it’s never happened before.

A coworker once defined regex as a write-only language and he definitely had a point. I love regex but it can be time consuming figuring out exactly what a complex regex expression is doing.
