Remulak posted:Came in to post this. if you use self-checkout or bag your own groceries at a Kroger or whatever, you're a scab. I don't think Kroger has unions and they all have baggers. At least not in my state in the midwest. I would bag your stuff anyways because they don't pay the employees enough to care. Wages at the grocery stores haven't gone up much compared to everywhere else. Philthy fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Dec 11, 2023 |

Is there a map for that? I'm in WI, and the stores here used to be Kohls that were union, then Kroger bought them all and now they're non-union.

Less people driving today. Cars are too expensive. Delivery apps are popular because of that. It helped during covid also, it was cool to see someone drop off a pizza on the deck. I was immobile for 2 months after a surgery so paying for doordash made it worthwhile. They have their uses. These days I do pickup because I have my own car and fully mobile again. But I think I'm becoming the exception, not the norm going forward. A lot of kids cant even afford to move out of their parents place anymore, either. Maybe we're being europeanized.

I just use Win11 at work and home and it's fine. I hate that they initially left poo poo out like a clock on a second monitor, or removed being able to make title bars and scroll bars bigger or smaller, but I honestly don't give a gently caress anymore. I just post on SA, play games, stream movies, and discord. That's it. Works great.

We have YoutubeTV because my wife demands some sort of cabletv access. I sat down and tried watching it live over the holidays. Every 8m:30s of programming they would show 4m:45s of commercials. 14 commercials per break. An hour and a half movie took two and a half hours to air. What the christ. You don't even get ad free Youtube with YoutubeTV! Edit: I think this breaks FCC rules! quote:Cable operators may transmit no more than 10.5 minutes of commercial matter per hour during children's programming on weekends and no more than 12 minutes of commercial matter per hour on weekdays. Cable systems must maintain records available for public inspection which document compliance with the rule. Philthy fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Dec 27, 2023 |

You just got to go into the settings and hit 'clear.cache' and 'update' (moght not be the exact terms) when you start getting messages. The two buttons are right at the top of the settings page. This doesn't work for me, it worked for a day, now it never works. I have to use FreeTube (Windows app only AFAIK), which works 100%.

Once other publishers find some of their own text in a book generated by AI, they will go after multiple companies. Artists and photographers are already doing this. It's going to be lawsuit heaven for greedy lawyers looking for paydays. Licensing the data and images will be a really big thing once the larger companies are hit for billions. Scraping the internet to train your models was the dumbest thing any company could do.

It's the same reason I can't go to a library, check out a book, and copy it down backwards and sell it. It might be different and new, but it's still illegal. I wonder if Legal Eagle has done a take on this yet.

I haven't had many issues with google maps in Chicago during rush hours. I go down there for concerts all the time. Express lanes are always super-fast, too. Tho Chicago is one of the cities where driving is unusually fast if you're willing to embrace the FIB. If you expect people to let you in or stay on the roads, you're going to be miserable. You gotta get that silver spray paint out and go nuts and you'll love it.

I thought they got smacked by the FCC last time they tried that since the large networks are all government subsidized to be available to everyone. Anyway, end result is everyone streaming everything from Russia for free.

Brother-in-law has Spotify and family can use it for free, so I've been using it almost every day for the past decade. It's great, has all the industrial psytrance goth dub punk metal I could ever ask for. The curated daily music is actually good and I've found tons of new bands over the years. I can't remember the last time it didn't have something I was looking for. I'm a GenX so my selections might differ from Gen Alpha or whatever.

Teams has been pretty great. We've been using it exclusively for 4 years now. We live in Teams. It's anything but slow and clunky. Copying and pasting has zero issues. The complaints above I've never experienced, so not sure what to say to any of those. As for IT complaints. Yeah, certs have always been a joke. They're annual, and no one has any time to study for them, or sit in a prepped room that can't have anything in it anymore. Infrastructure is changing so fast, almost on a weekly basis now, that a cert from even a month ago is already outdated. In the past 8 years IT landscape has completely changed. It's all serverless, desktopless, and it's all microservices and cloud based apps and solutions. Some of its easy to manage, some of its just as frustrating. But the days of being a computer toucher are gone, you're more of a sysadmin in Hackers watching the Gibson dashboard waiting for alarms these days.

Cosmik Debris posted:Can't find staff == not paying enough Nah, we're actually short 10-20m workers right now. Everyone is employed, and everyone is still hiring. It's why you see Republicans pushing to allow kids to start working rather than actually letting more immigrants into the country to fill the gap. I believe more people retired during Covid than any time in history.

Right, you're talking shifting of workers, not filling the worker gap, though. We simply don't have enough people for the amount of job openings right now. Opening the borders completely wouldn't even be enough to fill that gap. It would be a good start, but not enough.

Cosmik Debris posted:I think a lot of dinosaurs just can't stomach the sharp increase in pay that is necessary post-covlation, so they'd rather throw up their hands and say "cant find anyone who wants to work!!11" That would be true if wages didn't go up significantly as well. The local Menards is hiring at $19-22/hr. Pre-covid they were $7.25. And they still can't get enough employees. Because they don't exist. Everyone in my area has had "Now Hiring" in their windows. The restaurants close at 8pm because they can't hire enough people. They all got drained for desk jobs that are hiring anyone that isn't a serial killer. Look around you, it's not because people aren't willing to pay, they are. They just have no one to hire anymore. We've run out of people. Unemployment has been sitting at zero for the past few years now. Larger businesses are scalping workers, and they're paying for it by increasing their product prices. Until we oversaturate with workers or people stop buying products, prices keep climbing. I work in the financial industry. Our yearly profit sharing for the past 2 years has been employee retention. We've been losing some of our best workers because someone else is willing to pay them nearly double what they were making here. People are getting close to $200k computer toucher jobs in the midwest. It's unheard of. They need people that bad. I'm not talking about data scientists here, I'm talking admins, network peeps, security dudes. Philthy fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Jan 31, 2024 |
