Wife was hired in 2014 for a position that was designed to be remote. They changed things in 2017 and tried to make her come into an office 2.5 hours away, 5 days a week. She's legally blind and doesn't drive, a fact they were fully aware of and had no issues with when they hired her. She tried to argue multiple times, and it just ended up going in circles with several managers getting pretty insulting to her. So, she quit, and eventually decided to contact a disability lawyer to inform the ex-employer she would be suing for discrimination, and ADA violations. Because they said some pretty stupid things in emails and voicemails. They ended up offering a nice sized settlement. She found another WFH job that paid 3x what she was making at the old place, with a higher level position and more closely fits her education. She's much happier with how things turned out for her. The position has been on various job sites for over 3 years and doesn't look like it's been filled since she quit, though I can't say that for sure.

Can't say I'm surprised in the slightest.

Honestly, for me, the best part about this, is how excited the person they were competing against was for them. They didn't care that they didn't get it, they were happy for their competitor. That was awesome.

This just happened:

  • Wife was promoted to a managment position in the company 1 year ago.
  • Was given a list of things they wanted her to accomplish.
  • She not only checked off ever item on the list, but exceeded the expectations, sometimes by 10,000% and way faster then they expected.
  • Told weekly by her boss how impressed they are, and how great she is doing, and how much of an asset she is.
  • A meeting with the management team was held a month ago (mid August). Wife was not invited, despite being part of that team.
  • Merit raises are given out every year, between 3% and 10% depending on performance, wife finds out yesterday (9/21/23) that she is only getting the 3%.

I'm more pissed then she is, and I don't want to fight with her about it, but if it was me, I'd have quit on the spot.

As title says. I used Chrome for years, but last year switched to Firefox instead. I still use Google Docs a lot, and while I can Copy & Paste using keyboard shortcuts, I'd like the option to use the mouse as well. But for greedy reasons, Google thinks that's just too much power for Firefox to have. Does anyone know how to give Firefox the ability?

I use Hetzner as a seedbox and then have PLEX as my media server ran on the same hardware. It's worked perfectly fine for years. But recently PLEX says they will be blocking Hetzner hosting in the next few weeks. I've been considering moving to Jellyfin for a while, but I'm worried they will do the same thing in future.

Does anyone know if that's a real possibility?

Also, if I setup a VPN and just download stuff I torrent from my seedbox to a local PLEX server, would I be in any more risk of legal issues then I am now?

Am I looking at this completely wrong, and I should do something completely different?

To clarify what I am thinking of doing:

Keep my Hetzner as my seedbox and continue to download using my IPTorrents account. Setup a Local Plex or Jellyfin server and download from my seedbox to that local server that will be ran behind a VPN.

UPDATE: So this past weekend I did some testing and JellyFin is now my new Media Streaming software on my server. Going to take some time to learn how it works compared to PLEX, but so far things have been nearly 1 to 1. Thanks everyone for the help, I'm very grateful.

For my brother, it let him openly be sexist, racist, homophobic, anti-trans, and hateful. I haven't spoke to him since 2017 when we got into a big fight and he said some pretty horrid things about my wife.
