Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees (arstechnica.com)

After reversing its position on remote work, Dell is reportedly implementing new tracking techniques on May 13 to ensure its workers are following the company’s return-to-office (RTO) policy, The Register reported today, citing anonymous sources....

JIMMERZ,

Just another huge ass company that values short term profits over its employees and customers. Probably won’t be buying any more of their products.

JIMMERZ,

Some say the slam was so hard the shockwaves were felt on the other side of the globe.

What are the most mindblowingly creative, inventive, or otherwise otherworldly albums you know of?

One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What’re some of your favorites?

JIMMERZ,

Some of my favorites are

“Trust” by LOW

“October Rust” by Type O Negative

“Welcome Oblivion” by How to Destroy Angels

“Dusk” by The The

and more recently “DECIDE” by Djo

JIMMERZ,

For me, it’s the massive medical debt that only seems to get bigger. The cost of living inching higher and higher, while wages remain mostly stagnant. The expectation to provide for others at the expense of time, stress and my own health. It’s not a good time to have a family with needs.

JIMMERZ,

One day at a time.

JIMMERZ,

I’ve been on a few. My family loves them, but I am not particularly fond of them. They’re a super convenient way to see a lot of tourist attractions in a short period of time if you find the right one, but your time is limited at each port. I do feel guilty about the ecological impact of the cruise industry, not to mention some of the working conditions of the staff can’t be ideal. I am an introvert who dislikes crowds, I have a fear of open water, and I get motion sick easily. So they’re generally a pretty miserable experience for me, personally. It’s even worse if there’s high pressure sales or lousy patrons aboard. For example I was aboard one that really pushed jewelry and vacation package sales. The at sea days were just long super sale events. I kind of felt a side eye by some of the sales people, like they thought I was going to steal something. Truth was I didn’t want any of the crap they were selling. Dining can be hit or miss. The more affordable the cruise, the less tolerable the food is over time. I’ve had very few run-ins with grumpy people, but it happens. People overall can be rude following rules, such has hogging the sun chairs all day long, every day, or bringing noisy kids into adult only areas. If I can help it, I would prefer to not go on one ever again, but my family may drag me kicking and screaming again. I do think the right cruise could be fun if you were going with friends instead of family. A adults only party cruise could be fun in my mind. Keeping track of kids or boomer family makes the experience less enjoyable. If I were to do that, I would pack loads of Dramamine. Drink packages are a rip-off unless you’re an alcoholic. I had one once and it took a lot of drinking just to break even.

JIMMERZ,

Sad truth is stores like these will be obsolete soon. They already have to operate on thin margins, but with most game sales going digital, there will be less demand for brick and mortar game stores. The existence of online stores like Amazon make their outlook even worse.

JIMMERZ,

The Wind Waker for me. At the time, the open world and sea felt so massive, and the colorful cell-shaded graphics made me feel like I was immersed in a cartoon. I played other Zelda games before, but it was the first one to hold my attention all the way to the end. To me, it’s one of those games I wish I could experience again for the first time.

JIMMERZ,

Dump-truck-ass Pixar Moms are my kryptonite.

JIMMERZ,

03 Ford Focus. Terrible transmission, on board computer fried, all kinds of random engine and sensor issues. Finally found an honest mechanic that said it would cost more to fix everything wrong with it than to just take the L and get a new car. Took a loss on the loan and bought a Camry. Best decision I could’ve made. Nothing but Toyota since.

JIMMERZ,

What a shitty human.

JIMMERZ,

There are dozens of us!

JIMMERZ,

I mean, when people say “both parties are the same” they are correct in this particular metric. We need term limits and younger representation.

JIMMERZ,

Tech moves fast ma dudes.

JIMMERZ,

K-bid had a fire sale at the MyPillow factory last year. Mike is hard up for cash just like his buddy Trump. What a pair of sad losers these two are. Queue the rusty trombones…

Womp, womp

JIMMERZ,

Back in the day we used to call this price gouging or price fixing when the cost of an item would increase based on sudden demand, or due to an emergency, etc. That used to be illegal, but I guess it’s okay in fucking Mad Max world now.

JIMMERZ,

“How Long” by How to Destroy Angels. It’s a better post-apocalyptic story than most theatrical productions in just under 4 minutes.

Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more (apnews.com)

Lyft and Uber said they will cease operations in Minneapolis after the city’s council voted Thursday to override a mayoral veto and require that ride-hailing services increase driver wages to the equivalent of the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour....

JIMMERZ,

Call their bluff. There’s a lot of money for this kind of service in the metro. Big rideshare is just trying to maintain the status quo.

JIMMERZ,

Remember when the right lost their minds when Kathy Griffin decapitated a fake Trump head?

JIMMERZ,

My auto insurance rose 27% this year. My cars sit in a locked garage 20ft away from me practically all week long as I work from home. I was shocked to find my rates rose so high as I barely even drive at all anymore. Their solution was for me to get their data collection puck. What a fucking racket!

JIMMERZ,

The reasoning they gave me is exactly that. People driving like crazy post pandemic, and the fact that cars have become exponentially expensive.

JIMMERZ,

I have a friend that will only chat with me on Instagram. I have his number, but he will never respond to text. He only engages in insta, it’s mildly infuriating.

Wendy’s Vows No Burger ‘Surge Pricing’ After Online Fury (www.thedailybeast.com)

Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

JIMMERZ,

🤡

JIMMERZ,

I was a day one GPM music user until it was discontinued. That app was my most used service ever and it took thousands of hours to curate my whole collection there. When Google killed it, I vowed to never become dependent on a Google product much less a cloud based service ever again. PlexAmp is my go to now.

JIMMERZ,

Absolutely, the lifetime was worth it!
