Amazon CEO tells staff to work in office three days a week or look for another job
  • The work-supervision to prevent slackers thing is only part of the problem, and pretty small.

    The biggest issue is the huge amount of money these companies pay for real estate, and how much the commercial real estate market means to the overall economy.

    All of this is just sabre-rattling in an attempt to return to the pre-covid status quo, while these companies will soon be shedding their corporate office spaces to reduce their operating costs.

    Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap
  • Taxi companies need to own the car, pay for maintenance, pay wages for the driver, insurance, etc.

    Ride-sharing apps offload all of the taxi-company maintenance overhead costs to the gig-driver while only paying about 50% of the fare.

  • The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964. That was only 60 years ago.

    There are pictures of Bernie Sanders being arrested while protesting segregation. Bernie isn't the oldest serving senator, and there are currently serving senators who have received "F" grades on their civil rights voting records, despite claiming to support civil rights.

    I think it is entirely accurate to state that America is a bigoted nation.

    Wisconsin judge sides with 11-year-old trans girl over her right to use school toilets
  • I've seen them in seven States in the US, also on a trip to Canada. I lived in Germany for a while, and used them there - and Austria.

    Maybe you should try traveling and open up that closed mind. Expand those horizons.

    Wisconsin judge sides with 11-year-old trans girl over her right to use school toilets
  • In my hypothetical example, when you pictured stalls, you pictured them with only toilets inside. You didn't even consider that there could be a stall with just a urinal.

    You may enjoy sidling to the trough and gazing at your competition, but some of us appreciate not having creeps trying to size us up.

    Reddit trying to flex
  • One of the things that drives Reddit as a social media platform is the anonymity.

    Once you start tying monetization mechanisms to pay users for content, similar to YouTube or Instagram, you lose the anonymity.

    Reddit is already walking the path to destroy everything that made it a different social media platform.

    Remote Work to Wipe Out $800 Billion From Office Values, McKinsey Says
  • Someone is holding that bag, though. Unfortunately for us, the people holding that bag have the kind of money to make our lives hell just for a fraction of a percentage point of value for their bottom line.

    Minor Bugs / QoL Discussion
  • I'm on a Pixel 7, Android 13.

    So far, I like Jerboa.

    Maybe a bug:

    When I go to all, I get a few posts loaded. I scroll to the bottom, and nothing else loads. I have to click into a post, swipe back to all, and then more posts will load, allowing me to scroll.

    Feature requests: A version of all that automatically filters out tagged nsfw or porn. And maybe a version of all that automatically limits to tagged nsfw.

    An ability to minimize or hide what I am subscribed to in the menu. Ie, I need to click on subscriptions to load what servers I am subscribed to, instead of them being top loaded and visible in the menu.

    Respirator for Resin Printing?
  • In addition to other suggestions, you could also set up a barrier (cardboard box) that would shade your printer from direct sunlight when the door is open.

    You also don't need the door open fully. Just open a few inches and turn on a box fan.

    Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest Tactic
  • Moderators there are volunteers, responsible for curating the content that users post... The mods just need to limit their responsibility and only enforce the site-wide rules.

    Allow their subs to devolve to shitposts and memes.

    Reddit is already dead. It just might be a few years before Spez and co figure it out.

    no LGBTQ without the T rule
  • I knew a lady in the Army. Under Obama, she got the right to be out. She also got the right to marry her long-time girlfriend and receive the pay allowances that hetero couples received.

    She voted for Trump in 2016.
