Does lemmy have useless red circle sub yet?

If the product works too well they can’t sell you other stuff! 🥲

I’ve never understood how we haven’t been considered employees as gig workers.

The only difference from a typical job is that you can “turn off” your job when it’s convenient.

You dont get say in the jobs you take, or you don’t get all the information to mislead you into taking poor jobs. Sometimes both (looking at you door dash)

Instacart sends you a t4a at the end of the year, and you are for tax purposes considered to have worked for them. But they don’t have to pay into any of our various employee protections because loopholes?

They can terminate your “not employment” at any time for any reason and use this as a method to force you to do things you don’t want to.

All while paying you less than minimum wage. Instacart specifically is very bad for this. They give you a "predicted shop time " which will often be in the realm of 30-40 mins + 10-20 travel time to and from the store. And the batch will be valued at less then $15m

If then acknowledge that the job will take X amount of time, the base pay needs to hit $15/h x est time.

Same goes for all gig jobs.

Simply put, I need to buy groceries.

It’s not that I will have issues learning or researching, it is that I don’t have the time too.

If the barrier to using Linux is needing to spend time troubleshooting and researching to do simple tasks, I just won’t.

So far this thread has been very enlightening to me, I’m excited to try something new. But my OS is not my hobby.

Oh wonderful! Thank you for the suggestions!

It’s what I got to use in highschool computer class, I’m a sucker for what I know.

Do we want more orphans and teen mothers stuck in abusive relationships?

The unfortunate answer to that question is yes, they do. Uneducated people vote blue, abused mothers vote what their abuser votes for out of fear. They need to feed the cycle that the church started and we are just starting to climb out of.

There is a reason that the church is anti-sex-ed, it doesn’t survive without people raised in it.

Oh I wondered. I didn’t have any for a few years and bought a box. Thought they looked smaller.

Brown Eyed Susan lol

I purchased a razor branded Smartwatch, way back when. Thing could barely connect to my phone, it’s battery life was atrocious when it did, and all it did was show the time and track steps. It didn’t have any built-in notifications so you had to use a separate app. This was fairly early in smart watches though, it was pretty fad-esque.

As someone who runs a Windows phone launcher to this day, I think you’re wrong 😂 had they actually pursued them, and supported them better. I think we’d still have Windows phones today, The app store was truly the killer.

Gnu Image manipulation program, no? What a dumb article

This is literally exactly what I meant, far right folks believe that meta specifically sensors their content.

What’s funny is that both sides of the political spectrum are going to think this is targeting them. When in reality it’s more than likely only going to be used to squash misinformation.

Wow, so not only is this a direct attack on renewables, but non renewables that fall under the same situation are too be reviewed case by case?

My partner was on one of Shaw’s 0$ per month, by the gig plans. It was easily the most competitive plan on the market at the time. Its no wonder they got shut down so fast.

Now she is being harassed by Rogers 3 calls a week to upgrade her plan. They want her off the 0$ plan so bad lol.

In other news, water is wet!

Hopefully the do something about it instead of just watching it go higher

This has got to have been satire right? Since the upvotes/down have been blanked, I’m going to assume it had negative ratio

Oh of course, I feel like it goes without saying that this is in reference to young school-age children.

My personal opinion, would be that the age cut off for where a child’s rights supersede the opinions of their parents would probably be 13 or 14.

As long as those values do not override those of other parents, go at it.

Parents should always have the right to remove their child from a situation they do not agree with. They should never have the right to tell other parents or teachers how to teach other children.
