Retaliatory tactics are all too common. Your life is made miserable within the workplace (if you don't get fired) and then good luck being hired somewhere else in the same field.

You can be fired after a year without a severance package for no reason.

Where I work now we're short staffed on pretty much every department and yet we won't offer higher wages to attract new hires, cause then you'd need to raise the wages of the tenured people as well.

Instead, you squeeze the everloving shit out of whoever stays for the same money as the last 5 years while inflation is still soaring.

Greek here.

I and many thousands of people like me have already been working 6 or 7 day weeks for years now. I've worked 50 hours this past week (no paid overtime either) and I've done 70 hour weeks this year, but not regularly, so I'm actually one of the lucky ones.

The only difference this makes is legalizing it so boss can't be sued or fined.

I've been in IT for a few years and I've changed companies a few times. I just checked my login creds for various systems of 3 previous employers and like half of them still work. Unfortunately it's a lot more common than any IT department would like to admit

Am sysadmin, can confirm I don't wanna learn it.

Those look like skateboard bearings to me, they are quite common. A relatively high quality set of 8 bearings is like 15 bucks if you have a skateshop nearby

Non tech savvy people don't install windows or macos either. Everything comes pre-installed with the machine you buy.

If you make it to the point where you kinda know what Rufus and an iso file are, Pop! OS and Mint are easier to install than Windows.

I suppose a program could be made that partitions your OS drive and installs a distro on the second partition with a dual boot selection screen on next boot, but if you're at the point where you're curious enough about Linux to try it, you've probably learned enough to use Rufus and an iso file.

The answer is system integrators need to pre install and actively support one of the more friendly distros (like Valve with SteamOS on the deck) or it'll never catch on.

Simple users don't care what OS you present them with, as long as it's already there and it's easy to use.

I agree with the Israeli spokesperson. "Targeting uninvolved parties" is their thing, Ireland can't just storm in by force and appropriate it, that's also Israel's thing

Not yet unfortunately. Sideloading and non-webkit browsers are what could sway me towards iPhone at some point but until then I'm sticking with Android.

Such a shame to pay for great hardware, only for it to be artificially held back by idiotic software for the sake of market segmentation.

They know how it works, but they also know the average person won't go against a billionaire and the army of lawyers they can afford. It's a scare tactic.
