Because it’s another hassle in my work day. Like I said I hate bureaucracies, especially unnecessary ones.

I’m not a capitalist, but I do hate bureaucracy. Especially when it’s just a fantasy for the sake of compliance. Because nobody I know actually reports their real hours. The company just tells the employees they are responsible for timekeeping. If you don’t report the exact number of official hours every day you get penalised. Besides that the pressure on employees (not on me like I said but on some others in the same company yes) is still as hard as ever. I have no ambitition to rise in my career so for me it’s a bit different.

What I object to is this law not actually improving things but companies weaseling out of it as usual.

Yes but they still are, that’s the thing. The big corporations just added another layer of pretend compliance and the rest is not policed.

I think the politicians came off with a publicity win but nothing was actually changed in practice.

In most countries a second job is just not really allowed without your primary employer’s approval. Which they are very unlikely to give. It’s more a US thing for people who have problems making ends meet.

We have similar laws here in Spain but it is a bit annoying, my employer is making me ‘clock in clock out’ now all the time. So they can comply with this stuff.

Previously I just worked when I needed to, I work in IT and I was often flexible, hopping out to the shop or the doctor during the day and in the evening I’d hop on a call with someone in Australia. But now everything has to be formalised and officially requested which is honestly annoying. So I tend to just report bullshit hours and do whatever I did before, there’s just another bullshit bureaucracy load on me. I was not being exploited and probably worked less than my requisite hours. Just saying these things can backfire as well.

Meanwhile the Indian guy in the mini market downstairs still works 12 hours a day because they only look at large corporations when they enforce this. Which weren’t the ones where the problem was in the first place. Because nobody bothers to check the little businesses.

I’m not against laws preventing the abuse of employees, but I mean it just feels I got the short end of the stick, again. The company just shifted their responsibility onto me. People just report fantasy hours, the company is happy because they ‘comply’ and nothing actually changed.

Cool but if you handle complex documents with stuff like macros you’re straight out of luck. Even if you can get some compatibility you’re never going to be quite sure it will all work and look perfectly.

This is how Microsoft keeps their position.

“Now it’s your time to realize your dreams,” he told graduates. “The timing could not be more perfect.”

My dream is a world without ultracapitalist CEOs.

How do they manage to always find the creepiest photos of Zuckerberg? The skin around his eyes is light green lol

The people driving AI are the kind of people that have amassed hundreds of billions while paying their workers as little as possible.

Do you really think they will work towards a universal basic income?

They’re even admitting it. Sam Altman was saying something like “yeah big disruption is coming and society will have to find a way to deal with it”. In other words “I’ll profit but good luck with your fucked up society, no help from me there”.

I work in IT and as such I work in AI because there’s no getting away from the hype in my line of work.

But I don’t believe in it and I think it can be very harmful for society. I see a few nice things about it (people with disabilities for example) but mostly negative.

To be honest I’m looking forward to the news of datacenters going up in flames. Which I’m pretty sure will happen when people start losing their jobs en masse.

Massive price hike causes massive customer hike to Jellyfin lol

Oh I use KDE every day. I love it.

But this would be a very different usecase I wouldn’t use on my main PC.

Ohhhh it’s finally coming!

Looking forward to trying it.

Thanks! I already love it for the taskbar icon alone lol

What’s the little cat thing?

In fact when I was in college taking classes on IPv6 we were told it would be everywhere next year.

This was 1994. Lol

Personally I don’t like it because it’s too overengineered for me. They should have added 2 bytes to IPv4 and called it a day. That means we would have had the address space of 65536 internets. Really plenty. IPv6 has too much space.

So now we go from the glasshole to the podhole? Great.

Hmm any way we could make it seem to the web server that our phones are iOS perhaps? That should always bypass it.

That’s not a lot even. I’ve seen much worse. Also with password disabled. Some idiot bots still try to send it whole password lists.

Just move your SSH to another port, that is enough to get rid of most of the nuisance scans. Or allow SSH only on IPv6. That usually covers it (The IPv6 address space is too big to scan, unless you have a TLD directly pointing to your IPv6)

What I personally do is run an overlay VPN like tailscale and allow SSH in only via that.
