I work in academia

I have two separate pools of time off; one for sick, one for vacation, +some personal days/holidays

sitting at like 280 or so hours sick time, and 310 hours of vacation, and a week or so of personal days/holidays

yeah academia gave me 4 weeks off that i got in a block at the beginning of the year.

that said they fired me after 1.5 months so didnt really get to use that.

even if I worked full time I wouldn't spend the extra cash on something worthless like a

I'd save up for better holiday or pay off mortgage etc

what the gently caress @ the implementation of this

it probably makes it easier for google to get a cut but why the gently caress am i not allowed to choose where my money goes aside from not visiting websites

people should be rewarded for engaging content, not clickbaiting as many views as possible

does google actively want to ruin the internet (yes)

despite the title of the article i think they're specifically talking about prohibiting the bundling practices of google and not breaking up the company

but the EU ramping up the rhetoric is a good sign anyway

The trust busting did ruin Microsoft for decades; it's why they haven't ruined the market for AV software by shipping their poo poo, why they didn't make stuff work right together, etc.
