  • The article also says right to strike over plant closures. They could strike anyway, but that'll mean Ford can't fire them for it. Job security. Also according to the guardian, that 25% is after cost of living adjustments, so it'll be an actual 25% and not chasing inflation.

    Overall, I'd say that's decent, but obviously it's the auto workers who get to decide that.

  • they can't change your job in order to get you to quit, though. You don't have to agree to new requirements, and can get unemployment because they fire you for not doing so.

    In this case, this might still qualify as constructive dismissal. Even if it for sure would, not everyone will apply for unemployment, and they can still challenge it, causing delays and getting more people to not pursue it, ultimately resulting in a layoff that's cheaper than it's ought to be.

  • The logic is sound, but as you extend the idea, the group starts selling access to their doctor, and you basically pay a subscription for a doctor, and then you just have insurance by another name. It wouldn't be corrupt like modern insurance, but that's just because it's new, not because it won't get there, unless specific steps are taken to prevent that.

    Really, the only thing thatt actually accomplishes here is you've removed profit and CEO nonsense from the equation. A community that implemented and organized all these potential communal services would just be a commune. Nothing wrong with that at all, we need more communist principles in our lives.

  • Raw links get downvotes because it lets indexers find sites much easier, and helps get takedowns. I dunno that that's what happened but when I saw your link I went "hey, do it properly".

    Lemmy isn't a big as Reddit though, dunno if that's really something we gotta worry about.

  • Offloading them isn't the same. It's about the screen clutter, not the storage space, and offloading an app leaves the icon. Offloading does its job pretty seamlessly, but that's a negative when I want to feel like I've had a clean start.

  • The standard "payroll" is the money going out to people. A doubling of a payroll could mean twice the employees, twice the wages, or anything in-between. You could also increase your payroll by working someone for more hours, since it's just the money a business pays. It isn't adjusted by wages or overtime or anything like that, it's the raw number.

  • I used a pi 3 to host a Foundry server (TTRPG software).

    I use Docker to simplify things, since I run two instances of it. Simple port forwarding setup within the docker container. the main reason I used a pi instead of my computer is so my players could access their dnd stuff all the time.

    I stopped because I switched ISPs and they won't let me port-forward. My vpn supports it but the latency isn't ideal. I host the same thing through a cheap server now.

  • If you can keep tabs on other people, I like to get hotels, watch someone scramble to match me (trading at a loss to get a set, mortgaging everything else, etc) so they don't hemorrhage money to me, then downgrading to houses just before they cross me.

    Only actually pulled this off a few times, but the pain in their voice as they were forced to sell their hotel, just barely, to pay rent, but had to downgrade straight to nothing, and they know I have all the houses now, that's even sweeter than just getting the houses in the first place.

    Once someone teased me a property giving me a second set, so they'd have a first, only for me to do this to them after getting lucky and getting the browns to hoard houses on. Quick game, no one was happy.

    Sidenote: winner picks up is a role in my household. Gives the losers a way to go "ha ha" and helps keeps bad feelings at the game table and not afterwards.

  • That and they can't just use whatever plastic, they wanted a specific kind to meet quality standards, which means pulling from a much larger pool of recycling, and then all those different recycling centers get to get shipped to a plant.

    If your travel path from raw material to finished product looks like a river basin map, you're spending a lot on fossil fuels.

    That and they might be refining the plastic further, potentially creating actual waste products that need secure disposal.

  • There's a link to the actual report in the article, which has further links to the documents used in the survey.

    To be specific, this wasn't a traditional questionnaire, they made limited-functionality desktop environments and had people try out different options.

    The link in the article.
