Things like this make me terrified to ride a bike on the street with nothing but a painted line between me and tons of speeding metal.
We just need to get people to link RTO mandates and jury nullification in the public consciousness, and the problem will sort itself out.
Like, it’ll be weird that the whole staff was in the office and not a soul saw how the CEO drowned in the toilet, but who has time to investigate little quirk of office life?
Unfortunately some people probably read it and go “Yeah I should be the owner fucking this family over”
Some people just don’t care about other people and they should absolutely not be allowed to have power.
Without defining any of what that means, of course.
I think this is one of the core problems of humanity. People are driven mostly by feelings. I guess that works mostly okay on smaller scales or simpler worlds. Feeling like this field is better for grazing than that one is probably pretty harmless, and if your little 2000bce tribe dies out it’s not a global problem. But now we have very complex systems that affect millions of people, and idiots are still going “Well i just feel like shaking things up would be good”
This should surprise no one.
Anyone who thought “doge” was a good or even acceptable idea should not be allowed to participate in politics. Or play with small objects that may be a choking hazard.
I know a guy that’s doing at least once a week, probably more, commute from DC to New York City. To be a product guy at a like 5 person company. As if you really need to be in a shared office to move jira tickets, ask eng again “How’s that feature coming?”, and so on. The CEO is a crazy person.
The CEO is also making the front end developer guy who lives in Connecticut come into the office 2-3 times a week. So he can work on his web page, the one with the code stored on github.
I hate all this “return to office” stuff. I don’t care about management’s feelings or real estate investments, and I don’t care about people who hate their family and can’t focus at home. Making people commute is a pay cut and a blow against labor.
Go look at “Wealth to Scale” if you haven’t already: https://dbkrupp.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/
The amount of money the rich have is obscene and hard to visualize.
Bandcamp gives you drm free copies of the music. I think you can do flac, mp3, or ogg. They do recommend downloading your copy after buying it because in rare cases something can be removed
I’ve bought some CDs directly and then ripped the music myself, too.
I’m from the US, but I don’t know its origins beyond what that wiki page says.
We need to find out who the guards and staff were so they can be held accountable.
It’s unfair rick scott gets to keep living
Capitalism as expected. Workers can work all they want but the owners keep most of the profits
Do you have money? If so, buy music you like from the artists. Bandcamp is pretty good (though they sold out, and might enshittify).
I’ve been buying music for years and have a big library now
Since forever? “half your page plus 7” has long been a guideline, so a 40 year old’s floor would be 27.
(40/2) + 7 = 27
Apparently wikipedia even has a section on this! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_disparity_in_sexual_relationships#"Half-your-age-plus-seven"_rule
When a certain saint allegedly shot a CEO dead on the street, there was a big surge in support. Sadly, no one else has followed suit.
A lot of people are sick of the ownership class ruining everything, and would cheer for spilled blood.
If someone shot the ceo of uber dead, people would celebrate. They’re all scum.
Conservatism is entirely “in-group to protect, out-group to hurt”. So, so. They don’t. They are worse then toddlers.
Mint didn’t work at all on my last desktop. I should have tested more with the live disk before installing.
The mint discord I found was pretty helpful though.
A reasonable guess, but i think I (re-)read all of Pratchett as an adult and didn’t come across it
Any ethical super intelligence would immediately remove billionaires from power. I’d like to see that.
Good to know. I had some trouble a couple months back getting wifi and Ethernet working, and learned my phone can provide Internet over USB.
