Brit here, doesn’t seem racist. But it’s so cliche at this point.

They don’t care if it’s good at the job, just cheaper and they can get away with claiming its good enough

now increasingly overworked employees

My point was that HR will replace some of the workload, and remove more of the workers. Then those remaining get lumped with an even greater workload than they had before.

“We are not replacing anyones job, this is just saving time” is something we keep hearing at work, if its saving time that means fewer people are required. I am sure it won’t replace 100% of any 1 persons entire workload any time soon, but if it replaced 20% of 10 peoples workload, HR will make 4 of those people redundant and spread their tasks among the 6 remaining now increasingly overworked employees.

Not wrong either. Its 17:01 right now and he is sat looking at me already.

Text messages from my cat would look like this:

15:45 - Why is my food bowl empty?

16:02 - I need more food in my bowl

16:17 - Feed me, I have tried calling!

16:26 - Come on, it was dinner time hours ago

16:38 - I will start to destroy your property if you don’t feed me

16:48 - I am starving! This is neglect! I will call the RSPCA!

17:00 - Is that my food cup? I love you I love you I love you!

I didn’t know coconut water was a thing until now, was only aware of coconut milk.

Someone been playing civ again?

I will be glad it’s just the US taxpayers that will pay for this mess this time if that is the case. You make this mess, you pay for it. Maybe you could have voted for someone that would regulate the markets a bit better.

I have games that will run on a pi, maybe even a pi zero and use the cheapest second hand tablet as a display. Or a fire stick/similar and use the TV if I can get Termux on it?

This is lemmy, most of us use Linux or TempleOS.

My games all still work fine, how is it rough?

Just ban paying for advertising would probably do enough

If no one plays after a week it suggests the game has very little reason to keep playing it, so why even start?

Have wondered if I should learn to make badges for stuff like this

Cosmetic rivets exist

Yeah, too often bought games like this only for no one to care about it a month later. Now I won’t ever buy one in launch and instead wait a while to see if anyone is still playing it or not. Some do remain popular like Valheim but you also get quite a few that become irrelevant.

So far seen more sources that seem to point to this being about data harvesting personal information of children. Which if that is the case, fuck reddit. But also why do only children get their data protected? But also fuck reddit anyway.

Seen different sources, some say its about age verifying to protect children from content, others about age verification because they are harvesting data they shouldn’t be harvesting on children. What about they shouldn’t be fucking data harvesting on anyone?!

Either way, fuck reddit. But I really hope this is just because they are harvesting data that they shouldn’t because then at least Lemmy should be safe from this kind of thing by just not harvesting user data. Reddit already requires ID to view NSFW in the UK, so if its “harmful content” I would be kinda curious what that is too.

I probably should get a drill sometime rather than borrowing it from my partners family… Do have plenty of screwdrivers though. Then it is just a matter of trapping them.
