  • Wells Fargo fires employees for utilising down time.
  • You are correct that in our current capitalist system, the employees were in the wrong.

    The problem is the capitalist system itself is wrong.

    The Antiwork community is here to as a counter culture to the capitalist/corporate culture that has become so ingrained in our society at large. The idea that a person is forced to stay at work for their entire shift, even during times where there is no work to be done, is a problem. That is essentially where the term "wage slave" comes from, because while we are on the clock we lose our freedom to do what we want with our time.

  • When the phone is not set to suspend, and mostly idle with a couple of apps running, and some occasional web browsing, its about 4 hours. Under similar conditions using suspend (meaning it will keep the modem powered and wake up the rest of the device wen receiving phone calls and SMS) then I can get through a 9 hour workday and have about 40% battery left.

    I have been daily driving the phone for a couple of years so I'm sure the battery has degraded some, but I don't know how much difference I would get with a new one. It can be easily replaced, so I may do that in the future.

  • It certainly shows the potential for mobile Linux for sure. There's a project https://postmarketos.org where you can install their mobile Linux OS on Android phones if you want to give it a try on a spare phone or something. The wiki lists what phones the OS can be installed on and what hardware features are working for each device.

  • I daily drive the Librem 5 and am typing this reply from the phone. The honest feedback (and tl;dr) is that it is a good device for those who value privacy over convenience.

    The hardware kill switches are a nice touch, especially on the camera/microphone. I don't have moments of suspicion that if I have a conversation about a toaster that I will suddenly start seeing ads about toasters everywhere.

    It's nice not to be bombarded with notifications to review their app, accept TOS that my data will be used to sell me stuff, irremovable bloatware, and some of the other annoyances we got used to experiencing.

    As a basic communications device it works fine. Phone calls (VoLTE) and SMS text messaging works, depending if your carrier allows you to BYOD and provides the network info. SMS can sometimes get "clogged" in the modem when there is a very active group text; but for me usually resetting the modem using the hardware killswitch, a 15 second process, fixes it.

    Of course the downside is a more limited app ecosystem compared to Android. You will have to search for convergent apps and flatpaks, but I have found everything I need through Flathub.

    The camera does not take influencer quality photos, but if you need to take a quick picture of something and share it, then it works.

    Battery life is definitely something to be desired, but I can make it through a work day with automatic suspend doing some light web browsing and sending some messages throughout the day.

    Since I mostly use a computer for web browsing, emails, and word processing, I dock my phone and use it in desktop mode. It's not blazing fast, but for my purposes it is more than fine. Its actually a cool feeling to sit at my desk, start typing an email, listening to music, and then undocking my phone and continue the email on the go from the same device.

  • Climate crisis with Poison Ivy
  • I do agree a lot of stories about "finding yourself" are like that (Eat Pray Love for instance). But to be fair in the Nolan movies he went out into the world with no money. Now, if he somehow formed another billion dollar company then it would have become full on capitalist propaganda, lol.

  • Riding in the mountains
  • Take your time on any curvy roads, and pay attention to the signs that tell you how the road is going to be, such as only one curve or switchback.

    I missed a sign that a road was going to be a switchback and I almost didn't slow down enough to turn the other direction around the second curve.

  • Here's a way to support linux mobile development even if you're forced to use android or ios
  • A good way to check out mobile Linux is through postmarketOS. They have a list of older android phones that the OS can be flashed on to and have a near mainline Linux kernel. I would just give the caveat that since it does not run android then you cannot use android apps unless you use something like Waydroid to emulate.

  • As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?
  • For my ISP it's actually cheaper to not use their modem+WiFi router as they charge a monthly lease on the equipment. I declined it and they provided me with a modem for free. All I have to do is plug the modem to my own router and that's it!

    The features you listed seems pretty standard to all routers these days.

  • And I'll vote for him again
  • Rather than comment on each individual response I figure comment on my own.

    I agree with all the points made here.

    When they couldn't get Capone for the murders and rackateering they got him for tax evasion because he deserved it. Trump absolutely deserves all these charges and should go to prison.

    I do not believe Trump should get a free pass for his crimes. No one should. I was only suggesting that his crimes may have been ignored until there was a political motivation to look. It shouldn't have to be that way, but that may have played a role on why they are just now investigating. If they had looked into it earlier it may have disqualified him from running in the first place; which to be clear, is a good thing.

    Notice how I didn't say the Georgia elections case was unfair. He was recorded trying to commit voter fraud and should be charged. There's plenty in Jan 6th commission report to charge too and I am frustrated that hasn't happened either.

  • A Website keeping forgotten books alive

    www.NeglectedBooks.com: Where forgotten books are remembered

    The Neglected Books Page

    I came across this website that focuses on highlighting books that are out if print but still worthy of reading, if you can find them. The most recent post (Feb. 29 2024) talks about the various reasons books become neglected.

    My cousin said the gas savings for a prius and a motorcycle were the same.

    Mathematically they're equivalent, but the feelings could not be further apart.

    Review: The Other Americans by Laila Lalami

    Do you have a huge book backlog? Do you avoid doing things just to read? Do you read just to avoid doing things? Bookrastinating is here for you.

    This book was compelling to read not because of any sense of mystery, of which there is some, but because I wanted to learn more about what the characters were thinking as the author cycled through all their different perspectives.

    One man makes the case that Americans' pursuit of abundant parking is upending our cities and our lives.

    When it comes to cars, there is no housing crisis (just an existential one)

    This part of the article was the really infuriating part to me:

    "In fact, his research shows that by square footage, there is more housing for each car in this country than there is housing for each person. In 2016, Bloomberg reported that there were more three-car garages being built than one-bedroom apartments."

    It is a good read for those that enjoy young adult novels with a good balance of comedy, drama, and discussing some heavy subjects.
