I know unions and workers rights are basically none existent across the pond. And I can only hope that changes for you guys. But I sure hope if I would get fired for doing as I’m told by management, that I can go to the union and/or judge to get compensation for being unjustly fired.

This shouldn’t really be a discussion imho, but alas here we are.

In a social democracy with workers rights, where if you got unjustifiably fired you can sue them for it. you?

They don’t have to, just as much as you don’t have to compensate for their shortcomings. Of course that’s easier said then done if you work somewhere with little to no workers protection and fear losing your job. But that still doesn’t make it right.

Most people in jobs like this aren’t paid hourly, they are salaried and expected to get the job done. Usually the problem isnt necessarily the runtime of an AI, but the inefficiency of a workflow that brought AI into its center.

Sure, but if the tools provided/mandated by the employer are inadequate to do the job more efficiently. That should be the employers problem, not the employee’s.

You can’t as management both claim the need for AI out of efficiency, and blame it at the same time for you not getting your job done in time because of it. But then again, how often do you come across competent leadership these days. The lemon can always be squeezed a bit more I guess.

I’m probably ignorant, as i left the conventional workforce before AI took off… But how does that exactly make you work longer? If the AI isn’t finished by the time the shift is over, then it’s tomorrows problem, no?

I don’t understand why this is a surprise to people? Didn’t they openly support Trump? So the CEO is clearly lacking in the upstairs department. That was enough for me to never deal with them ever.

Couldn’t this be abused? What’s stopping me from using a VPN node in France and downloading terabytes from google, meta, etc.? But I guess they will start capping traffic to French addresses.

I mean, it seems kinda obvious to me that the pipe where the exhaust of 1000’s of explosions per minute comes out, is… hot.

Sounds more like the restaurants in your area are dog shit. I’m not a bad cook or a good cook. The few recipes I make are usually good. But it sure as hell isn’t better than 90% of the restaurants out there… More like maybe 10-15%.

How come people with MBA studies are too dumb to see that easily cheated metrics, are easily cheated? What do they actually teach in those studies? Have 5 mission statements that are the exact opposite of how we actually act, and fire people do line go brrr? That’s it?

I usually prefer to use nix, as it’s a real language and basically serves as macro language/preprocessor for the configs that don’t have functions or such (obviously in this case Lua does) . So it gives me everything in one language (thank I generally kinda like), with proper highlighting, I can reuse code, and I can more easily cross reference between different services/apps.

That said, I didn’t know hyprland was going to make this switch. I guess I finally have to go see if I will like niri.

Is Intel rumored to drop it’s GPU line? Haven’t really kept up to date lately.

Ah ok you’re a troll. Got it.

Yet you posted this and didn’t stop to think about it?

Protests aren’t always about (actually pretty much never about) an immediate demand being met. They’re about getting people together and building a network of likeminded people. They’re about demonstrating to others around you that they might not be alone in thinking things aren’t OK. They’re a step in the process.

I’ve heard this repeated sooooo many times every time this comes up. So at what point are you actually going to do anything with that “network”. Or is it just to find friends to moan with?

Did a hell lot more than King’s days protest, at least it was a debate for way longer. But they suffered from too little numbers in the end. But of course you can ignore all other long-term peaceful protests, like the salt march, to dismiss the underlying point

As long as Americans think one day peaceful protests will do anything, I don’t see a anything happening. That concept is so mind boggling dumb imho. If you’re not willing to commit for weeks/months, and say from the start, ‘ah tomorrow we will be gone’. Then why wouldn’t the government just ignore it? No you put out your demands and sit down in Washington DC or NY or something until the demands are met. Giving it a deadline just doesn’t make any sense at all.

Now if this would actually happen, I don’t see it stay peaceful for very long, but probably a tiananmen square situation developing. With how little the gov cares about people’s well being.

But to be honest, the US probably needs vigilantes/rebels a la the Black Panthers for anything to happen.

The democracy route? Yeah it’s way past that point already. As long as people like Bernie Sanders (or anyone more left than Bush) keep getting marked as some kind of ‘communist’, nothing will happen there. That propaganda has been gobbled up too much already.

I’ve worked in the Netherlands and Belgium, both gave me compensation for travelling to work. In the Netherlands they paid my gas. In Belgium it was a fixed stipulation depending on distance and mode of travel. Honestly I can’t see how anything else is not just a rip off.

So they don’t… During the job is just part of the job, that’s not compensation. Now it even makes less sense why Americans like to commute so long

So… Do US employees not get compensation for travel expenses? Such freedom…
