Rae days were actually a great idea, don't fire anyone able give everyone a long weekend every other week. Sure it's a 10% paycut for everyone but it's better than a 10% workforce cut and people's hourly rates remained the same so it's not like their work is worth less.

This was also my takeaway, it seems so obvious all of the sudden

Mr. Burns: Some men hunt for sport, Others hunt for food, The only thing I'm hunting for, Is an outfit that looks good... See my vest, see my vest, Made from real gorilla chest, Feel this sweater, there's no better Than authentic Irish setter. See this hat, 'twas my cat, My evening wear - vampire bat, These white slippers are albino African endangered rhino. Grizzly bear underwear, Turtles' necks, I've got my share, Beret of poodle, on my noodle It shall rest. Try my red robin suit, It comes one breast or two, See my vest, see my vest, See my vest. Like my loafers? Former gophers - It was that or skin my chauffeurs, But a Greyhound fur tuxedo Would be best, So let's prepare these dogs, Nanny: Kill two for matching clogs. Mr. Burns: See my vest, see my vest, Oh please, won't you see my vest!

Well just hold on there a minute, if they raise interest or charge higher fees on things that doesn't disproportionately negatively impact poor people then it might be less predatory... And we can't have that, we gotta keep punching those that can't hit back.

This is where I'm at. I played remake on my steam deck and I won't buy a console to play it our any other exclusives.

I really appreciated that they started releasing games on PC too but waiting a couple years is annoying. I greatly enjoyed zero dawn, and am finally enjoying forbidden west but having to wait years was annoying (not enough to get a ps5 though, and if they choose to never release it on PC I would just never play it ever).

Right now I'm also waiting for Ragnarok since God of war was great. But again I'm not buying a ps5 so I'll be waiting until it comes to PC if it does at all.

Sounds like S01E01 of black mirror.

This doesn't make a lot of sense in context, sure Texas has twice the land of Germany, but Germany has 2.5 times the population of Texas.

Though I agree Texas is likely not representative of all the USA.

Dennis, are we going to hurt these girls?

I work in a role that's 12h shift. With an average of 2.8 shifts a week when stat and holidays are accounted for.

I dread the day that I can't do the nights anymore and have to move into a 4 or 5 day a week role. With the nights sometimes it doesn't even feel like I lost the whole day on each end of a set.

I think that there is a misunderstanding about the purpose Beeper is trying to solve. It's about consolidating all your chat services together into one place. Google messages is SMS/MMS/RCS. Beeper or by extension the whole matrix platform with bridges can roll almost all your services together, gchat, sms, mms, RCS, Facebook, iMessage, discord, WhatsApp, signal, telegram, slack, instagram, etc.

I have my own matrix server that I primarily use like beeper and bridge all my chats together. Even using some of their bridges, it's been pretty reliable for years.

I know that a few people are hating on the closed source client, but that feels unfair to me. They provide lots of open code in the form of bridges which is really the meat of the offering. Their client just makes using the bridges easier for the lay person. The bridges are super easy to use without it, invite the bridge bot to a chat room, type login and do what it says, then type login-matrix and your pretty much done.

The I suspect that the same people who are displeased about the closed client also like using tailscale which is generally pretty popular but has closed source clients on Windows and Mac as well as the server (though all support the open source headscale server)
