money and leverage

Ugict-CGT's survey showed that over 63% of those questioned worked more than 40 hours per week, with the French legal working week set at 35 hours. A quarter of respondents even admitted to working 45 hours per week.

Not only are they overworked, but they are also worried about the direction of their company. Two-thirds (66%) of employees do not feel consulted by their employers regarding their strategy and practices, with over half of them (52%) feeling that these decisions are completely contradictory to their own beliefs. This has led 58% of respondents wishing that they had the right to refuse their higher-ups’ directives.

the company i've been working for and i are going to part ways soon and i'm not trying to save it because of these two reasons and also because i want a union job.

up until now i had assumed that this was an anglosphere thing since my colleagues who put in this sort of effort were mostly from the english commonwealth or the us or lived there.

i know that macron's decision to incorporate the far right into his government instead of the groups that the french people voted for proves that france is no longer a independence minded nation; but i think that they're still the closest thing to a first world country with real worker rights and if the most privileged workers are faring worse than their american counterparts, i have to wonder what the near future of employment looks like for all of us.

I think it’s a format that can make sense especially if there’s a broad range of specific communities around a central topic...

I think that's how lemmy got started: It's like reddit's leftist subs like r/communism; r/socialism & r/anarchy created the lemmyverse and the idealogical clash with reddit's refugee & moonlighting users seems to induce centralization for those users into a few heavily centralized instances that cannibalizes smaller instances that were created to be alternatives to the ones made by leftists; hence the deactivation of instances like lemmy.film and the multitudes of mostly inactive duplicate communities.

The only thing that matters to me is the ability to assign colors to keys.

i hadn't occurred to me to use an alternative; are you aware of any linux compatible ones?

awesome! now i can get one of these keyboards; thanks for sharing.

is the syntax the same?

some common things that have a better version; like sed; are ignored because of licensing and i'm convinced that if the syntax were the same we would all be using it anyways.

it hadn't occurred to me that someone would use their distro w/o the hardware.

i bought from a system76 rival w their own distro too so that i can avoid situations like this and lemmy is teaching me how lazy and out of touch it's made me; op's smart to use a distro from a linux company that maintains its own distro with it's own paid developers because there's a stronger chance that there's an answer in their forum, compared to some obscure distro maintained by volunteers with day jobs.

does system76 not provide support for things like this?

i do it for cheaper prices when websites do server side tracking. i've noticed by accident a few years back that using agent strings for the oldest active microsoft release has a small impact that add up on expensive things like air line tickets.

but i get cheaper stuff online if it looks like my rig is old and generic; i think i need to get a user agent string toggle browser plugin.
