·3 months agowhole workplace just got fired
My workplace just shut down abruptly - the whole business, gone. In other words - I’m out a job now.
I heard they hired some consultants to help restructure the business. Maybe that was a sign I should have updated my résumé? But I understood that if I were fired, then the business was fucked. My job was only worth 17$, but it was one of the many pillars in my department that could not break. "They can't fire me," I thought. I guess it was naïve of me to think that toppling the structure wasn’t an option.
Filing for unemployment is always the most tedious shit. I’m not looking forward to it.
I had 71 hours worth of vacation time. I had scheduled some PTO in the morning. Approved in the afternoon. Valueless in the evening.
From the owner, “For you it’s your jobs. For us it was everything”
Fuck you.
Two of my checks bounced back. You better have my money.
It is april 16th and Castro has proclaimed the socialist character of the revolution.
·4 months agoMicrosoft pushed for standardized use of their OOXML which was needlessly complicated and purposefully full of bugs when run on LibreOffice so instead of telling the world to stop adopting Microsoft's shitty doc formats, Munich took the much easier option and followed the herd.

I would expect as much. You're describing what already exists in airports, except you also have to pass an in-person interview to be considered.
slightly unrelated but I had to listen to my coworker complain about a homeless person he saw who was on his smartphone and smoking a cigarette yesterday. It wasn't enough to be homeless, you had to be a monk and a saint to garner his sympathy.

"One of the big problems in North Korea was a fertilizer shortage ... so the government came up with a campaign to fill the fertilizer gap with a local and renewable source: human and animal waste. Every worker and school child had a quota to fill.""Our bathrooms in North Korea were usually far away from the house, so you had to be careful that the neighbors didn't steal from you at night. Some people would lock up their outhouses to keep the poop thieves away. At school the teachers would send us out into the streets to find poop and carry it back to class. So if we saw a dog pooping in the street, it was like gold. My uncle in Kowon had a big dog who made a big poop and everyone in the family would fight over it. This is not something you see every day in the West."
·9 months agoI've been using Freetube for a while now and i cannot recommend it enough. It doesn't push you any content aside from the creators you've subscribed to, It looks clean and has great theme customization, its ad-free and of course its FOSS.
Like invidious, Freetube won't use your data to recommend you an infinite stream of curated content for you to consume. I've found myself watching a video and just being satisfied there, with one video. I couldn't handle that before. Youtube's clever algorithm would never let me watch just one video if I had the time for 2 or 3 or 20. And having a subscriber only feed gave me total control over how much reactionary content I see. Its a complete 180 from the standard youtube experience.
I'm betting it was a right sectarian who shot him.

I thought it was just a weird expression. I never realized this until now.
