Nerd, truck driver, and kinda creeped that you’re reading this.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

bdonvr,

Would be cool if they did, theoretically speaking.

bdonvr,

As workers gear up for the election, the Alabama House of Representatives on Tuesday voted 72-30 for a bill that would withhold future economic incentive money from companies that voluntarily recognize unions rather than holding secret ballots. The state Senate previously passed a version of the legislation but now must consider it with the lower chamber’s amendments.

Just completely mask-off

bdonvr,

What good is protesting?

Movement building.

bdonvr,

“forget the genocide, what about these poor kids who are gonna miss ANOTHER graduation ceremony?!?!”

bdonvr,

That’s something relatively new. And funny.

bdonvr,

Hexbear still federates just a lot of the big ones cut them off (or vice versa)

Your instance still federates

bdonvr,

They should be an absolute inspiration for us all. Float safe.

bdonvr,

The poster is presumably “far left” - some flavor of socialist, communist, anarchist.

They use the term “liberal” in the classical sense which would include (US centric) Democrats and the so called “moderate” Republicans. Whereas in mainstream discourse “liberal” has come to mean “left” but really that’s only left as far as is common in the anglosphere which isn’t very far at all.

bdonvr,

That looks pretty cool. I think it’s just that everyone kinda picked their setup at the start and nobody wants to mess with it anymore lol.

I’ve got traefik setup so that I just add a few lines to a docker compose file and I’ll automatically have a new service running under a new subdomain, with SSL certificate and all. Never have to think about it.

bdonvr,

I just have a wildcard subdomain record. (CNAME: *.mydomain.com)

Then the traffic gets sent to Traefik which checks the request for what subdomain it is asking for and routes it accordingly.

It’s just two label lines in each docker compose with whatever subdomain I want to use and a minute or two later it’s gotten the certificates and it’s available.

Canonical releases Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat (canonical.com)

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS delivers the latest Linux 6.8 kernel with improved syscall performance, nested KVM support on ppc64el, and access to the newly landed bcachefs filesystem. In addition to upstream improvements, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS has merged low-latency kernel features into the default kernel, reducing kernel task scheduling delays....

bdonvr,

I think most people definitely do at some point but I think a lot move on as well. But it’s definitely more popular than these kinds of forums would let you believe.

I definitely like a lot of things about Ubuntu, just disagree with some of Canonical’s choices.

bdonvr,

Jeez dude. I’m a habitual knuckle cracker but it’s pretty easy for me to tell when it will or won’t and never needs more than slightly firm pressure.

bdonvr,

Generally no but there are cases where you need to wash a cat. Should be rare.

‘In the US they think we’re communists!’ The 70,000 workers showing the world another way to earn a living (www.theguardian.com)

The Basque Country’s Mondragón Corporation is the globe’s largest industrial co-operative, with workers paying for the right to share in its profits – and its losses. In return for giving more to their employer, they expect more back.

bdonvr,

think we’re Communists

It’d be cooler if you were.

But definitely cooperatives would be a HUGE improvement over what we have now.

bdonvr,

Well first of all who actually has their ringer on anymore

And secondly it was WAY more of a pain in the ass back then

bdonvr,

Damn that’s kinda fire

bdonvr,

I dunno I grew up with the term and I’m 25 maybe get with the times gramps

bdonvr, (edited )

I’m hourly, work 60 hours per week and get zero overtime.

This is entirely legal because I’m a truck driver.

Actually, I really am an office worker in a trucking company. But I occasionally, like once a month or less, run a short load if they really need me to. That makes me still exempt and is still legal for them to do.

Among other things I also get no sick leave

bdonvr,

How’d you know?

bdonvr,

Well they do have dispatchers/supervisors who are salaried, technically my position is “hourly trainer” for new drivers to this location but in reality I help dispatch.

Actually I make more than the salaried supervisors but I work 5 days/12 hours and they work alternating 3/4 days/12 hours so it comes to about the same per hour.

bdonvr,

Nope, the Department of Labor (federal) lays it out pretty clearly.

The employee’s duties must include the performance, either regularly or from time to time, of safety-affecting activities on a motor vehicle used in transportation on public highways in interstate or foreign commerce. Employees must perform such duties as a driver, driver’s helper, loader, or mechanic. Employees performing such duties meet the duties requirement of the exemption regardless of the proportion of “safety affecting activities” performed

Emphasis on “regardless of the proportion of “safety affecting activities” performed

www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/…/19-flsa-motor-carrier

Unfortunately I live in a VERY “pRo BuSiNeSs” state so they don’t have additional requirements for overtime just the federal ones.

bdonvr,

Oh yeah I don’t get PTO either, or rather, it gets paid lump sum once per year. Once a year I get an extra weeks worth of pay. Of course living month to month it’s not likely I can ever save that.
