Britain, France, Spain, The Netherlands, Denmark. Those five.

Workers are paid fairly equally under capitalsism regardless for each job. There is a "standard rate". The incentives that could exist from the perspective of the worker would remain the same (bonus checks etc) no matter the system (minus a moneyless one).

Also remember is was the USSR who made it to space before any other country. Almost as if hard work is stimulated in many ways - and humans are not only interested in money.

Very good! I've been putting off creating a pi-hole, but it looks like the time has come.

How would this work? Is there an open source project available?

[–] Nebula224@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah that's what I did but it just didn't want to work. Never mind!

Its a thing in the UK - basically you don't sign a contract for regular work, but instead are given work ad hoc. My point being there're not as many rights given to these types of workers, and they especially aren't going to buy me a phone - never mind give me paid holiday leave or a pension plan.

Yes youre right its bad practice. But the company I work for really doesn't care about that. I'm only there temporarily anyways.

Update: WhatsApp just didn't want to open whilst in a work environment set up by shelter. Don't know why. It just hung for a few mins then crashed. Shame! But I think I'll go with the other suggestion of a Matrix server

This is perfect! Exactly what I'm looking for, thank you.

Yes that's a great idea! I will do that, thank you.

 

I have to have WhatsApp installed on one of my phones for work purposes. It's not possible to ask my work to give me a phone (I'm on zero-hours contract). I do have two phones - one DeGoogled pixel running CalyxOS and one iPhone XS. The iPhone I use for banking apps and basically anything that ties directly to me. Apple Pay and so on. Then I use the DeGoogled phone for everything else - most communications done over Signal, taking photos etc. This is my daily driver.

My question is this - is there any way to make WhatsApp as private as possible? I'm fine knowing WhatsApp reads all my messages etc (not really fine per se, but what choice do I have) but what I really don't want is telemetry. So which phone should I install it on? The private one to limit telemetry, or the regular phone to stop any telemetry from my private phone being read? Or is there some way I can remotely host an instance of WhatsApp or something?
