See this is funny because the venn diagram for “hates Greta Thunberg” and “thinks that (((they)))))))))) are resonsible for everything” might as well be a circle where I’m from.
Why would I want a folding phone? I want my phone to be as rigid as possible.
Hiding the front cameras is the only real innovation I guess, but Oneplus managed it in 2019 with the 7 Pro so it’s not exactly a recent innovation.
This happens in most European countries as well, I believe?
It works fine as long as the private companies are held accountable for their shit and the high-level planning is done by public offices.
It breaks down when there are no consequences for budget or deadline overruns, or the actual deliverable failing to meet requirements, because obviously private companies are gonna fleece the tax payer.
I mean if this gets conservatives into EVs, at least SOME good will come out of this ugly, dysfunctional heap of metal.
Next we need someone to convince them that cars in general are evil and it’s much better for their freedom to use public transport
Not only bitter, lots of people here are dissing reddit like it’s a recent ex.
Some of those frequently repeated comments (well not stuff like “this”) are completely organic memes that have come out of that community, which most of us were part of, me personally for over a decade. Now we suddenly hate everything we were part of?
I’m kinda tired of the reddit bashing here. I’m not going to leave over it, but it doesn’t add any value whereas some of the other content has been excellent.
This seems like a huge win for the companies considering what else would have been possible.
To them it’s a huge loss compared to what would’ve happened without the union - max 5% annual raises, if that.
has no single payment to cover the past inflation
That’s like Netflix telling you “hey we didn’t raise our prices enough to keep up with inflation, we’ll now charge you for last 5 year’s inflation in a single payment”
It won’t fly because it wasn’t in the original contract.
has no hours-reduction
Normally I’d agree with you that this sucks, but aren’t they hourly? Hours reduction means pay reduction. If I was hourly, I’d want the ability to work more hours (AND obviously a higher hourly rate to begin with)
You’re talking about this like this isn’t a huge win for these workers, but that’s just not true. Yeah there’s been bad inflation, but minimum, mean and median wages have NOT increased nearly as fast as they should. Hell the minimum in the US has been unchanged for decades. And plenty of people still make minimum (or less in tipped jobs).
Now we just need more sectors to form unions, and strike successfully. In more countries than just the US. Here in EU we make less in tech than longshoremen do in the US whereas in the US, tech salaries are nearly uncapped. Unions could help. And obviously unions in the less well-paid industries are even more important.
I don’t think Windows uses a microkernel. Hybrid kernel is the term I’ve heard used.
