  • There was a thread on hackernews a few days ago (maybe even yesterday, time is a construct) where someone shared a screenshot of a pop up ad served to them by the OS itself.

  • My employer was not part of this trial but has been doing this since Spring 2022. There's been no increase in hours/workday or decrease in salary (and in fact, I got a raise---I think most people got at least a COLA).

    We ran our own trial and the results are honestly even more positive than I would've thought myself.

  • I'm not sure how to describe it beyond saying life feels a lot less confrontational here in Canada, even living in the largest city in the country.

    Obviously there are problems here, but it feels much more like an actual society than a collection of people who happen to live near each other.

  • No way. I moved here from there (I'm Canadian now!) and every day I'm gladder I got out.

    I'd probably make more money there, but there are things I value more than money and my life is significantly better in Toronto than it ever was in any of the three states I lived in.
