I pick and choose my battles. Online? Sure. In a federal building with 700 other cameras that have already more than easily got my mugshot 20x over as soon as I entered, I’m just going to take the Convenience benefit. It’s not going to change anything.

No, and it helps tremendously, if you leave and enter the country.

Like privacy wise it sucks but, I was the only one in my family that wasn’t stopped for manual check at customs because I was already in the system

it worked for me

Dude, in today’s world we’re lucky if they stop at the manufacturer. I know of a few insurances that have contracts through major dealers and they just automatically get the data that’s registered via the cars systems. That way they can make better decisions regarding people’s car insurance.

Nowadays it’s a red flag if you join a car insurance and they don’t offer to give you a discount if you put something like drive pass on which logs you’re driving because it probably means that your car is already getting that data to them.

This right here is another fault in regulation that eventually will catch up because Especially with level three where it’s primarily the vehicle driving and the driver just gives periodic input It’s not the driver that’s in control most of the time. It’s the vehicle so therefore It should not be the driver at fault

Honestly, I think everything up to level two should be drivers at fault because those levels require a constant driver’s input. However, level three conditional driving and higher should be considered liability of the company unless the company can prove that the autonomous control, handed control back to the driver in a human-capable manner (i.e Not within the last second like Tesla currently does)

Furthermore, with the amount of telemetry that those cars have The company knows whether it was in self drive or not when it went onto the track. So the fact that they didn’t go public saying it wasn’t means that it was in self-drive mode and they want to save the PR face and liability.

as long as they aren’t going to force me into said religion I would be fine with it, if I dated anyway.

I would try to support them and all but, I’m agnostic

I only use lemmy, I left reddit during the mod api fiasco

as for social media, unless you concider YouTube or discord I don’t have any

Yeah, and unfortunately, like you said, that entire practice is fully illegal in the states. However, most employees are unwilling to report it and then file the evidence of why it was done. Because while there is no mandatory vacation time in the US, if you are provided It as a benefit, it must be something that you can use. And if they are regularly denying your PTO because they don’t have the people to be able to cover it, then they are denying you a benefit which they are legally obligated to provide since they offered it as part of your benefits.

The amount of times that people just decide, oh well it’s only PTO. It’s no biggie. I don’t want to rock the boat. It’s insane. Like my mom lost over 600 hours of PTO because the business closed up and she didn’t fight that they needed to pay it. She doesn’t put two and two together that she’s overall getting paid less because she has the benefit of having that PTO. So if they were to not offer the PTO, they are just paying less.

Your PTO, if offered, is part of your benefits package, meaning that it’s part of your hourly wage calculation. So if you are given PTO and then not being allowed to use it, you are voluntarily being given a demotion.

yea, which is the only real reason he posted about it. It’s just a normal day for him, but he realized he can capitalize on it and make it a PR stunt like always

FOR REAL THOUGH. Like every person I have ever heard that has complained about PTO, are people who are in positions that either don’t accrue it, or accrue it so slowly that it’s never usable, or make enough that they don’t need to ever worry about being paid vs unpaid when they take holiday.

lol if he actually tried this, the speed in which big companies would lobby the fuck out of it would be insane.

I doubt he notices a holiday TBH, it’s just the same as the previous day.

Remind me how “all these businesses” can be closed if it’s really only the federal government actually takes the day off for federal holidays? Like sure some banks do as well, but most companies just stay open

Here in the real US (I.E not has make up fantasy land that he wants his user base to believe in), most companies were business as usual. As most companies only really close for Christmas and maybe Thanksgiving and Easter.

Not to mention that most Federal workers are salary, and their pay includes holidays, if he were to remove the holidays as part of the package, he would need to spend /more/ money on the workers, so it’s not like it would be a plus even in his imaginary world. This is ignoring the fact that a good portion of the federal government is also unionized. so this entire plan would fall short before it even hit the water.

Last minute corrective adjustments shouldn’t be legal in a democratic society tbh. I won’t pretend to know about how the EU’s legislative process works but, if this was voted on by the people, and then changed last minute, that’s not what people voted for. I would expect this kind of thing in the US, because the officials commonly accept bribes to neuter or remove things big companies don’t like but, I didn’t expect it from the EU. but maybe thats just my ignorance speaking.

Either way though, I guess take what you can. Still a big improvement

Which will be absolutely dumb. It’s been proven a few times that removable batteries are possible with waterproof certifications.

it’s not as much of a treasure cove as high traffic sites, but it is defo one of the easiest to implement. Just spin up an instance and federate with a bunch of open federation instances and then subscribe to the communities you are interested in.

My first experience was playing lego inventor on windows XP. it was so fun and would hook me for awhile. I could load the site then disconnect from the internet during play since it loaded the entire game at once, so I wouldn’t need to worry about holding the phone line up. Before that was usenet.

as others have said, generally a privacy issue type deal. Sometimes regarding data being collected then sold.

I don’t agree with the mentality tbh, if you were concerned about that just don’t post. Nothing is stopping the data collectors from collecting it anyway(I’m sure they already have their own instance set to auto sub and ignore deletion requests), the only people who are effected by it are the users who wanted to see the post, and the people who put effort into responding.
