1 year 70%, then the govt takes over at 70%.

You get 100% for short absences with all decent employers as a benefit.

The real perk though is unlimited self-certifying. Your employer has no right to know what kind of sick you are.

... no they don't? If you move countries you need to get a new plate.

Whole bunch of games you could select texture quality on install back in the days when games came on CDs.

I think they prefer Ukraine, without the "the".

Not likely, English is used in the first place because of the British Empire, not the US.

Depends on where you are from, but the sort of thinking that gets people into religion gets people into misogyny even without religion in my experience.

“people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once” as a result of insufficient water pressure

How do US toilets work? It should be independent of water pressure, there is a tank of water that gets prefilled, right?

So creating a new repo on GitHub, you get a set of getting started steps. They changed the default branchname to "main" from "master" due to its connotations with slavery.

When I create a new repo now, the initial getting started steps recommend creating a branch named "master" as opposed to "main" as it was a while ago.

It's especially weird since the line git branch -M master is completely unnecessary, since git init still sets you up with a "master" branch.

Disclaimer: I have a bunch of private repos, and my default branchnames are pretty much all "master".

Is this a recent change?

Edit: Mystery solved, my default branchname is "master". Thanks bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone !

"The union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business,"

My dude, you literally have no competition! Your management bankrupted them by doing the same shit there that you are doing here! You know, before you all managed to fail upwards.

If you manage to be insolvent while running one of the largest monopolies on the planet, you should get checked out by a doctor, because it takes more than either base grade stupid or base grade malicious to be able to do that.

Also, isn't the whole reason Boeing is in hot water since they can't build shit right the fact they tried to fuck over the unionized workforce by building another factory in the Deep South, but the shit that comes out of there is falling apart? Seems to me, they need the union, not the other way around.

I mean, he's not wrong, but apparently saying the quiet part out loud became a faux pas in Hungary recently.

It's not as pithy as Orbán's "Rosatom will buy it for me" about RTL Hungary though.

He's really hurting in his ego about his lack of crowds, isn't he?

At this point, using Firefox and an ad blocker does more for the climate than paper straws or recycling.

Even with ad blocking, half of consumer internet traffic is ads. Google is contributing to increasing this ratio, where most traffic on the internet will be stuff the client did not request, contributing more to climate change than Bitcoin - not that this makes crypto look better, they are just a useful milestone to compare to with the press they get.

And this doesn't include the idiotic AI shit they do.
