I read that's why they did this: to force people to use it wirelessly. Not sure that's really a big win. Wired mice are just fine with me.

I think a lot about the time I saw two cops park in a fire lane in order to go to a Dunkin donuts. Was like watching a political cartoon in real life.

If I was magically in charge, I would make it so if you got an unwanted text or call you report it and the phone company has to pay you like $10.

They don't deal with this problem because they only care about profit.

They're doing this instead of just making regular search decent.

I just want to see jobs that use python. Stop showing me C#.

Microsoft should be split up

. I’m a bit surprised the Christian following hasn’t gone there.

Many Christians are theologically incompetent. They don't know their scripture. They just like feeling good.

People mandating return to office are climate criminals, all. They should be sentenced to picking up litter and other community service for the rest of their lives.

Unfortunately, laws only matter when they're enforced and people have equal access. It's easier to management to just break the law and, in the unlikely event someone challenges it, deal with it using their vast resources.

That's why I think the penalities for anti labor actions should be capital (sorry, pun). If you do anything to fuck with labor, your life should be ruined. Assets seized, lifetime prohibition of management roles.

"steal higher" took me a couple reads. Steal doesn't sound like "still" in whatever accent I speak.

I think a lot about how one place I worked at, when people started talking salaries, Management said that was a fireable offense.

Personally I think everyone involved in saying that should have been barred from management roles for life.

But because most of the people working there were in their early 20s, with no power alone and no organization, they went along with it.

Some years later the company build a salary comparison tool on their website.

I remember talking to this one woman who was like "I don't get polyamory and non-monogamy. Why don't you just cheat?"

Because I have standards and care about other people, which seems not to be true for many people.

Yep. Place I'm at is in some sort of "hiring freeze". They're not replacing people who left. They also told the many (probably not strictly legal) contractors that they won't be renewing them. It's absurd.
