@JustChapman I listen to electronic music for which singles and remixes make it impossible to keep up with using physical media.
Bandcamp would be an option, but discovering new artists is unfortunately better for me on Spotify.
I also like listening to podcasts by the labels, it helps discover new artists.
I usually follow anyone back and it's very rare that I intentionally unfollow a mutual, but I just unfollowed someone whose account I realized is primarily promoting grind culture. Absolutely not.
No, I do not have 12 working hours on weekdays and 16 more on weekends to "create wealth." Sick of this pervasive ableist, capitalist, anti-humane attitude.
"You SHOULD be able to--" no I shouldn't and I can't! That's the whole thing. Let me rest FFS.
Attal dépassé par le conflit en Nouvelle-Calédonie? Matignon rappelle que "Gaby" a travaillé sur l'Outre-Mer au cabinet de Marisol Touraine. "C'est mignon", ironise un conseiller. Curieusement, ses anciens collègues que j'ai interrogé discrètement ne se souviennent pas de son action pour les Outre-Mer. "En vérité, il ne veut pas s'en mêler pour couler Darmanin", persifle un bon connaisseur du dossier. Le sens de l'Etat, toujours...
I was back at my first job at iRobot. Some manager I currently follow on linked in last night had re-hired me.
I was excited to just make money again.
Howerver, I didn’t go to work on my second day because of burnout/depression.
I didn’t go to work on my third day because of the anxiety caused by not letting my employer know what was going on.
On the 4th day I went to work. They mocked my apology when I finally talked to them. While I was gone, manager and his friend coworker stormed the corporate housing I was staying at and put all my stuff on the street. They kicked me out and kept mocking me…
Me to my illustration professor today :
« It doesn’t matter if you give us two extra days for the assignment. We are artists, we all have ADHD. We can only work under pressure. We’ll do it at the last minute »
My landlord installed a heatpump / electric combo water heater last month. It has a wifi connectivity feature that supposedly lets you schedule the water heater.
I was excited to be able to turn it off during peak times (4 to 9pm) and at night and set it to high efficiency mode when needed.
Tech bros re-invent taxes and are on the verge of collectivism: https://aus.social/@bigjsl/112314321734533588
I do actually like the idea of having more direct democracy, what if 20% of the city budget was allocated with a ranked choice voting system every year?
My conspiracy theory is that the rich and powerful know that climate change is coming no matter what so they are doing everything in their power to lead us to war so they can trim down the roving hoards of plebeians precisely before civilization goes to shit. #climate#conspiracy
It’s raining hard on the precise day I need to bike from City College to the Legion of Honor…
As we say in french, only the idiots get wet in the rain 🤪 (la pluie de mouille que les cons)
Ok reading about this #XZ stuff. I’m not a compete computer nerd but I was a mechanical engineer so I can understand nerdy stuff.
ELIamAMechanicalEngineer: What is XZ?
It’s funny how minimum wage in the US is given per hour. In France it’s per month. Right now it’s ~1400€ per month after taxes, assuming a 35h workweek (french standard).
In the USA, you are only supposed to be looking forward to living for the hour. That’s it. Cross the bridge when you get done with that hour.
Oh and in France minimum wage is indexed on inflation. But not any kind, inflation measured for the 20% lowest income households.
Alright americans, go live your best rich person hour from two years ago.
