Don't be like that. I wasn't talking about the world, or children in mines. Just this bill and the protests against its passing.

I get that, and I support everything you're saying. It feels like the workers are getting played by the companies though. Workers should be lobbying for rights to the state, federal and municipal levels, but this feels like a "red herring" of a bill to get behind.
This will sound like I am not supporting workers, but hear me out. The intention of this law has nothing to do with taking away breaks. There’s this picture being painted of “state and evil construction companies” vs “workers and municipalities.” There’s actually two different fights here: workers vs evil construction companies and, the state vs municipalities. Focusing on the first one is important outside of how the state and city are bickering.
If you know your construction company will take away your 10 min / 4 hr water break because the city can no longer enforce that, that’s NOT the state’s fault because they’re taking a common sense approach to consolidating laws and eliminating bureaucracy. That is an evil fucking construction company.
You want to blame a lawmaker because they assumed no company would be evil enough to do that, fine, but think about that, and the entire scope of this bill, when deciding who to protest against.
EDIT: Sorry to come off looking like a republican shill. That was honestly not my intention. I'll try harder next time. ESH except the workers trying to stay hydrated!
Buy the dip!!!
Vendor lock-in is 100 times worse today than it was 20 years ago. It’s vile, insidious and borderline cruel. Microsoft doesn’t want to work with anyone, they never have and they never will.
Any feelings of openness and cooperation you get from them is engineered, from the ground up, to ensure that they are in a position of control over you.
Their crack security team is not the result of some spontaneous and sudden desire to protect their customers. It’s a consequence of having to constantly triage the financial impacts of a never-ending stream of critical vulnerabilities.
Labelling this proprietary shit “ecosystems” is insulting to ecosystems. They mere notion that you should be using Microsoft software to monitor, secure and protect your Microsoft software is downright ridiculous.
Microsoft is not the only, and maybe not even the worst, in a long list of hand-wringing, life-sucking, progress-hindering companies who people will willingly defend because these companies have forced their way into becoming a part of our identities.
I think if you link your Lemmy and Reddit accounts it filters out all memes automatically. Tell your friend to try that.
Bot, you also need to tell people that /c/blah is meaningless. This is not Reddit bot homie!
You’ve got something pretty interesting for us don’t you? Let’s take a look. Wow, yes. I think we might have something here. You should be pretty excited about this!
So, I’ve been looking at old memes for most of my career and only come across a few like this.
There were many communities made to capture old memes but only a few were truly popular. The rarity of these communities also plays a huge part in how valuable the memes are to collectors.
I’ve seen a few others in better condition, but collector demand for this item is still very high.
Given the condition of community and the records kept about the origins, at auction: I’d expect this to go for about…
… three to four million doge.

When Palo Alto sells your dipshit CIO one firewall appliance per virtual server. “Somehow. Someway,” says the salesperson, “we’re gonna get even more firewalls in here!”
And now the ENTIRE INSTANCE for lululemon, who’s bot posts 1000 times a minute.
I had a "bearstein effect" moment just now. I had thought wireshark sold out. Like "Wireshark by Rapid7," but i just checked and it looks like they've stayed the FOSS course! Way to go!
