If your on .world there are a ton of hexbear comments in this thread you aren't seeing. You are only seeing half the conversation going on in here right now.
Blahj had the same issue a few days ago and had to literally make a second thread that hexbear admins barred their users from so that they could have an internal discussion. Despite how upset that instance was hexbears just can not help but invade this discussion too.
Thanks, I'll definitely look into it!
Thanks, I appreciate the tip. Lemmy's tech barrier is a bit of a stretch for me but most people here have been really helpful!
Since lemm.ee seems insistent on staying federated with Hexbear, can anyone recommend a working instance (.world keeps crashing on me) that's defederated them?
I'm not tech savvy enough to know how to check whose defederated them and personally I find that their low-effort high-spam trolling in every thread they see to be off putting enough that I've been going back to Reddit because it feels less toxic. I liked the culture at Lemmy before Hexbear showed up and if possible I'd like to get that back. Thanks in advance!
Some places with things like snap elections also have limits on campaign lengths and how much money can be used in an election.
They also need to get more creative with who they are hiring and what "benefits" they are offfering. A split schedule like that sucks for someone looking for anything more than part time work. If they can come up with benefits that attract say, stay at home parents looking to make some extra money, that particular split in the schedule may not be so bad for them. But they would also likely need other non-traditional side benefits that full time workers in other jobs might not, like the ability to bring younger children (not yet in school) to work with them on their route. A benefit like that might bring in more drivers and not even cost the company anything but too many places are stuck in a traditional workplace mindset.
Don't lay offs make sense though if people are being more productive at home? The tech market is contracting so they won't be looking to take on new projects so much as cutting unnecessary overhead (and labor is usually the largest tech company expense), which they only have because the increase in productivity isn't being offset by new work (projects) coming in?
I hated working from home, it's not for me. As soon as I could I went back to the office and I've turned down jobs that require too much WFH.
However, I do work with a lot of WFH people. My only "complaint" about their "productivity" is to please, for the love of God, have them working the same timezone hours as the area they are servicing if their job is time sensetive. If I need to get ahold of someone anytime something goes wrong with a hauler cause you're the only one with access to the system then don't have your work day be hours off from typical trucking hours in my location! Looking at you logistics...
There are also a lot of kits that include most of what you'll need (especially for cross stitch). It can be a really convenient way to start and most kits come with really good instructions on how to cross stitch too.
It looks like this subscription may be for their "smart" printers. So the subscription would be for the connection to phone service. Why you'd need a smart printer is beyond me but they apparently think there is a market for it.
I think it's for "smart" washing machines that you can control from your phone etc. So that's likely what the "updates" would be related too...why you'd need to control your washing machine from afar is beyond me but some people love smart gadgets and will by anything that connects to their phone.
I can't figure out where all the lemmy people posting about reddits "power tripping power mods" were posting. I think I ran across one mod in the wild (niche sub) that I thought was crazy and they got run off the platform eventually. What were people posting that they were getting banned all over the place? Maybe the mods weren't the problem if multiple were banning you?
As long as the thing they don't like about your face isn't it's color. But seriously American employment laws (in most states) allow for companies to fire people for any non-protected reason (protected reason = gender, race, age, etc). If a co.pany does illegally fire a person it can be a real up hill battle to prove it because at-will is so permissive.
I can't say a firing like this one sits super well with me personally but it's almost certainly legal.
If Fast and Furious has a 29% score then RT isn't a good indicator of movies. They don't keep making those movies because they arent popular. That whole franchise is basically printing money.
PA can be fairly cold expect snow and ice every year. It does snow in Virginia as well but I can tell you it's on average atleast 10 degrees warmer in VA vs PA year round. (Lived in both areas). Virginia is wetter (and far more humid than CA) and has more hills since Appalachia cuts right through a lot of the western part of the state. If you don't like the outdoors I'd suggest eastern Virginia. If you like the outdoors western Virginia is great for outdoor activity (hit or miss on things like high speed internet, research any specific towns your interested in out there.) One thing I will say is that Virginia is NOT blue. But then Scranton is probably considered the beginnings of Pennsyltucky too.
Honestly the customer doesn't even have to dislike the shirt. It's incredible the lack of rights that Americans have in the workplace. Especially when we also have very weak safety nets in place for people who are out of work.
Isn't the appeal of in-n-out the lower price point compared to other fast food burger places, rather than the options or stellar flavor? 5 guys is way more expensive and the customization/taste reflects that.
It think they're mad because some of them already paid for a year and the awards and gold were part of why they got premium. Now awards and fold are disappearing mid-september and they feel they aren't getting what they paid for anymore.
So some Asian cultures do eat jellyfish. Maybe this is a gotcha question or maybe it's just someone coming from a less eurocentric background.
