  • Haha you really need lots of framework to work like a normal being but there are benefits too, thank god. Your alarm symphony made me think of one thing that revolutionised this problem for me, a special alarm. It will not shut off until I scan a qr code on my bathroom mirror. After struggling with it so many years it was so fucking unbelievable to finally get something to work. I didn't even have high hopes since I tried so many notifications, alarms, different types of smart captcha things, but then just physical movement to another place that cannot be cheated just made a huge difference, because once I walk through a doorway, it's like my brain switches to a new activity automatically. Cheers!

  • Temp hires are kids in school and trainees etc that would almost always have a 3 month contract that then get full time work when they know it will work out. Some elder care companies I know kept hiring new workers constantly and it did not go over well for any of them. Shut down by unions and most old people switched away from these, also the communal overseers removed them from the hiring pools and from recommendations as a choice of provider. All workplaces I have quit, have treated me well, mostly using the time to transfer skills and documentation to a replacement and then saying I don't have to come in when it seems done. Two times they gave me instant "garden leave" with full benefits which means I get full pay but don't have to work and if I have other work I can get double salary without having to pay penalties. I also am in a union that by law has to be asked automatically to come in and manage the transfer, those are people that have seen hundreds of layoffs and leavings that can give each party a sense of what is expected, and raise issues or irregular things like you describe to the correct authority. I have not seen any abuse of this law (law of labor safety) from a company or heard of any abuse of the law in my entire forty years of life. It's because it is taught in schools and taken very seriously by even small businesses.

  • Thanks a million! Is Fedora using our capable of using wayland or will that be troublesome? I have an nvidia chipset on my laptop unfortunately, but I've heard many distros take care of those pretty good nowadays

  • Oh, high standing officers controlling shares in a hypercapitalist megacorp, I see how that can be confused with siezing the means of production from the jaws of capitalism, but I think you and him are talking about vastly different things to be honest

  • Heyyy bros and sisses. I am currently trying to do this after being fully converted by you guys. I am technically capable and have run Linux before. However, I am unsure if virtualbox is the best to use for this, and where to get isos and stuff.. Just generally I searched around for doing precisely this, and there was barely any info available. Maybe I used the wrong keywords?

  • Yeah that's a good way to handle that sort of thing, and you did the right thing. However, and this is just a personal thing, and may not be applicable to your situation:

    I have had adhd my entire life and worked around it. It has its problems with changing activity, and many people have this symptom with it. When I got medication and the problem was mitigated, I realised that my entire life I heard and was deeply ashamed of me not respecting others because of my chronic lateness. Now that I understand I wasn't physically able, I can see that all the pain from hearing that I'm not respectful, when I'm truly sincerely am, did not help. The issue was never respect, it was a clinical defect in my frontal lobe. In my country we have "work therapists" they're not for work, they're for practically finding out if you have problems with productivity (even home stuff). One of these helped me realise and I was "cured". I really thought I just suck. And nothing I did could fix it, and I would be truthful when I told others I get it and want to improve. And I was sincere in trying everything. I empathise with that guy probably because I was like that and I know I always held my job and coworkers high in regard and did my absolute best, but it came out as being disrespectful and disingenuous. Just needed to get that off my chest, cheers!

  • I don't get it. If you get a notice, they should. We have labour laws requiring both the company and you to give notice, 3 months. That's for anyone that hires someone, but exempt for what's called a "temporary hire", like interns and such. If you have a temporary hire for more than one year it's automatically considered a "permanent hire". It means that whenever a company uses consultants or practice workers the risk goes both ways, and most normal workers get economic security. (Perhaps it only works well because other labour laws though, such as rights to be sick, have kids, etc)

    Labour laws should be beneficial for workers, and if they aren't, the giant hyper capitalist megacorps you foster with that approach aren't worth any protection at all since they are a burden on the planet and society, not a benefit.
