Voxel-style 3D illustration for a 2005 issue of a Dutch magazine, about the attraction of working for large corporations.
There were no voxel editors yet in 2005, and I guess Shell was still a relatively attractive employer. 😏

Isometric voxel-style 3D illustration for a 2005 issue of a Dutch magazine, about finding your way around a big city.
There were no voxel editors yet in 2005, so I made this in 3ds Max at the time.

Shadedlady, @metin you already had that 'cute' vibe back then
UP8,
kaiserkiwi, Trying to work on my couch for the day. See how it goes.
I usually have two 4K monitors attached to the MacBook and have the MacBook open to use the additional space. But I usually have to manage a dev team. On Friday it’s usually much quieter and I can focus on my dev stuff.
If I work on private projects I do it often from the couch so I know it's doable in theory.
I always have the option to switch to my desk so I guess it's fine.
But the goal is to find a good workflow to only work on one screen from time to time to be more flexible with where I work. For example: I never worked in a café and would like to try this one day.
evanesca, @kaiserkiwi Yeah, that's a huge downsize!
Do you have a gadget to keep the laptop off your lap? I never owned a mac so I don't know if "the device is hitting up and burning my knee-caps" would be an issue for you, but it was for me when I had to code from the sofa.
kaiserkiwi, @evanesca Since Apple switched to Apple Silicon this isn't an issue. I have a M1 Pro, which is not as efficient as current processors, but it get's barely warm.
When I had an Intel MacBook it was terrible ^^" But it was also so loud I couldn't concentrate. For the M1 I never ever heard the fans once since I have it ^^

catnip, Does anybody have any tips on what employers can do to help neurodivergent employees at work?
Boosts welcome.
catnip,
jake4480, @catnip @guffo oh wow that's so cool! Yeah she's on TikTok and started seeing things, I mean, a psychologist/psychiatrist is one thing but then you really need someone who will focus on that. She's in her 30s, me, my 40s. But she found someone and they did the test, so she's official. Me, I just have this hardcore depression as far as I know. ha. But more good days than bad now.

tk, I could honestly use a blind on the lateral sides of my eyes for when I'm at #work. My peripheral vision is too sharp from #motorcycle and #bicycle riding just like how my hearing is the same for the same reason. (I already wear earplugs a lot of the time when working.) :blobfoxgooglycry:
Fury,
heretical_i, The UAW had a strike vote last week after it's workers were abused by police at a #UCLA (I believe) #StudentSpring #Gaza protest.
Its's on. #UAW #Strike.

jonny, (edited ) UAW 4811's strike authorization vote passed -
19,780 votes cast
ASEs (grad students): 80% yes
Postdocs: 74% yes
Academic Researchers: 73%This authorizes the eboard to call a stand up strike similar to UAW's autoworkers strike last year. Our initial demands include amnesty for all students and workers who are facing any disciplinary action for protest, divestment from "weapons manufacturers, military contractors, and companies profiting from Israel's war on Gaza," disclosure of all investments, and the ability for researchers to opt out from funding from sources tied to the military or oppression of Palestinians (including a transitional fund for those people).
This strike is in response to our employer first allowing a vigilante mob to brutalize our students and workers, and then calling the police to further brutalize them the following night. Our union is responding to a pattern of employer violence that's as old as unions themselves, allying with police-aligned vigilantes to chill and crush organizing.

shekinahcancook, The Unions Strike Back
Apple workers are striking at a store in Maryland by Millie Giles 5/13/24
"...In the aftermath of its outrage-inducing object-crushing advert, Apple has been dealt another PR blow, as it faces its first retail employee strike in history.
...While Apple is currently in the firing line for its employee practices, with labor unions like the Communications Workers of America accusing the tech giant of union-busting, collective strike action has been gaining traction across the US more widely..."

That_One_Guy, I'm currently trying to weasel out of a project I really don't want to be involved in.
According to The Simpsons, "Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals... Except the weasel." 😉

cloudthethings,
ncoca, Depressing to see someone actively tooting about #gaza respond to one of my posts and denying #Uyghur #forcedlabor. Not the first time I've seen or experienced this.
Though, notably, I've yet to meet an actual #Palestinian who does this. It's nearly always western leftists.
jerome, @ncoca another one in your replies! With so few followers you wonder if they aren’t part of a CCP troll farm.
ncoca, @jerome Reported and blocked. It's crazy but perhaps not surprising that CCP troll farms might be on the fediverse.
work,
