Kodak used to operate on this 13 month calendar. When I asked someone who used to work there, she was shocked that I knew about it and said that it was the best thing about working there. The original plan that this calendar is based on called for a liminal day between years for New Year's Day with 2 days for leap years

Linus "spoke out" against unionizing by saying that he couldn't legally do anything to stand in the way of his employees unionizing and wouldn't want to stand in their way if they ever decided to. But he wants to make a workplace where people don't feel the need to and if they did then he would see it as a personal failure.

There's plenty to criticize Linus for right now, but I don't think that his "anti-union" stance is one of them

Edit: in the context of these allegations, then yes, his employees certainly should unionize if the actual criminal crimes in this thread are even partially true. And if that happens then I will be singing Solidarity Forever for the LMG employees, but until that happens and we see how Linus responds to that this is just not a good read on Linus' stance towards unions.

Edit2: it feels weird to have posted what could be seen as a defense of Linus under this particular post. I'm not a Linus Stan, Just a union advocate that wants criticism to be levied where it's actually called for and this doesn't seem like it is

Am I missing something? When had he expressed his hatred for unions? As a union man, if he had said something like that it would've pricked my ears. As far as I know, he's said that he doesn't want his employees to feel like they need a union, but wouldn't stand in their way if they wanted one, which is about as good as it gets for a North American business owner.

If this stuff is true then they should unionize immediately. Solidarity Forever

Edit: I'm not going to double down. This was a blind spot for me, maybe because my union is already established and fairly strong, but I'll hold this L and learn from it

Okay. So I'm not missing something. I guess I heard him say that it "would be a personal failure for him as an employer" as him taking personal responsibility for his employees' treatment. A charitable interpretation, but just a difference of opinion.

I can see how people can interpret what he says as soft anti-union, it's just weird to see you and others say things like this as if he's sober sort of Robber Baron.

I'd love a smartwatch that, along with telling time, is just a screen that shows me my notifications and a button to pause my music.

I think for sure it's coming soon! The rating, the store page. I mean there was a dang total solar eclipse this year and it's always dark in hollow Knight! In fact, if you look at how long the solar eclipse lasted there's a date in there!! And I'm sure that that's going to be the day that Silksong comes out!!! This isn't cope!!!!

It's real!!!!!

IT'S ALL REAL!!!!!! STOP LAUGHING AT ME!!!??

HELL YEAH BRÖTHER! WOLVES WILL RESPECT YOUR PERSONAL SPACE AS LONG AS YOU RESPECT THEIRS! THEY COULD ALSO RAISE YOUR YOUNG 'UNS TO FORM ONE OF THE MOST HISTORICALLY AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT CITIES/EMPIRES IN HISTORY! AROOOOOOOOOOO(ME)

I got into TorrentLeech and MAM with the intention of building reputation and getting into a better tracker, but frankly I've never needed to take that extra step. If I can't find something on TL I can make a request and someone will have it uploading within a day or two, but I've only ever had to do that with obscure stuff like Pros vs Joes

Fair enough. I'm not going to double down. This was a blind spot for me, maybe because my union is already established and fairly strong, but I'll hold this L and learn from it

My childhood home only has dialup Internet. First year at college I found out someone ran a DC++ instance on the network and it was over from there. I got a 2tb HDD because I had to, and could, download enough movies/shows to last me the summer. I stopped for a while when I moved out and actually had broadband, but then Netflix stopped being Netflix and became $NFLX, and with all the other services popping up I heard the call of the seas again

aeiou!

In today's edition of Water-Is-Wet news!

Fair point, well made. I would love to live in a world like this one day

While I don't think that a main character has ADHD specifically, The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson deals with various mental health problems. I will say that Stormlight is on a whole different scale though. Looks like the first book is about the length of the whole murderbot series and there are 4 books out currently with another coming in December

Dirty? Nah, you're fresh as hell, comrade. Workers co-ops are great

I guess I have my own special version of pessimism where if I see an employer not actively hiring Pinkertons I think if it add a little w for workers these days

I don't open text messages that I need to reply to. I just read them from my notifications and keep them there so that it never goes away and I can't forget about it

TikTok has video controls. Tap to pause/play. And there's a progress bar you can drag to seek. Instagram and YouTube shorts are much more difficult to control

Edit: you can even hold either edge of the screen to speed up the video in TikTok. And a 2 finger hold hides the caption and interface

Such as? Not doubting, I just want to know

True. If he said that line in response to a statement about wages. I can't say that I exactly remember the context in which he made that statement, but I believe that it (ironically, given this post) had more to do with workplace culture than wages.

I use the default Google messaging app, and am in the US. When sending to other Android users it uses RCS. The only time it sends as SMS/MMS is when messaging iPhones because Apple won't support RCS

Don't even try reading. Just listen to the podcast "Homestuck Made This World"
