  • Yes, it was known to be impenetrable in the German Reich, but Germans thought it looked nice on their shelves and would occasionally read a two-sentence passage from it. Giggling optional.

    Hitler wrote it by pacing up and down in his prison cell ranting while Goebbels Rudolph Heß took notes (or recorded it, but I don't remember if he had a tape recorder, and didn't have a steganographer AFAIK. So yeah it smacks of radicalized old man ramblings much like Trump's rally speeches.

  • FYI: That is statistically not good for you or your boss. People who take lunches and breaks (even when forced to) are more productive than those who don't (on average) enough to offset lost time.

    Also you should check social media and connect with loved ones between tasks to maximize your morale and productivity.

  • The fake name generator might be useful. There are also temporary email services for when a site account requires a confirmed email.

  • It's called high-functioning mental illness and yes it's based on the assumption that if you can hold a job, what's you're problem?

    HFMI is epidemic in the US and probably throughout the industrialized world.

  • Im on mobile so sorry for the basic link and typos. May clean it up later.

    TLDR Mike Masnick has long worked out it is impossible (even with AI) to do content moderation of large social media well. Bad content (nazi rhetoric, Christian nationalism, islamist terrorists signaling each other, CSAM, human trafficking, penis pill ads, auto warranty extensions and so on.)

    So left wing rhetoric will still get through. And far left rhetoric and embarrassing coverage of the elite (e.g. couch fucking) will become popular.

    So bring it!

    Yes, both of them.

  • Why does this make sense to me?

  • I would walk the dog with my grandson and would prep a poop bag to pick up waste, and he was transfixed so I showed him how to find the top side, part the sides and put it over the hand in preparation for use.

    And he was happy to wear a poop bag on his hand, which creeped out granny, even though the bag never actually touched dog poop.

    Soon after that it was clear that he discovered (or was trained) to recognize feces is yucky and to be avoided. (he was never in close smelling distance to the dog poop, so he got this from elsewhere.

  • I'm pretty sure we were training for vehicle and appliance controls.

  • I was recommended RiMusic from Lemmy, using the YouTube music selection.

    It has a radio function but it makes wierd presumptions: say I radio off a synthwavey film soundtrack song, it'll favor more show music that has little in common with the original selection. Maybe it's just me.

  • How Money Works did a video on quiet quitting (e.g. doing your job and not a jot more) and how companies did that to themselves.

    Rather than promoting from within, companies started hiring outsiders who didn't need training in the software and duties of the new position, saving them the cost of training (or rather passing the cost on to the workers.)

    (This is where my wife interjects an observation from her own job in admin, incuding HR, that the hired stranger will still have to be frontloaded with all the company specific protocols, like who signs your work logs, where you eat lunch, where the printers are in the LAN, what accountant orders more supplies and so on, and this process often takes longer than training)

    Anyway, workers quickly learned rather than asking for a raise, they keep their résumé current and keep applying for higher paying jobs, and the moment they land one pull up stakes and leave, owing no loyalty to the old company.

    And since working hard and sucking up to the managers doesn't make a difference for promotions or raises, people bring their bare minimum effort to work. Doubly so since hiring from ouside pays on average three times what promotional salaries are.

    If they're not paying you what you are worth, keep light on your feet and look at competing companies. Heck if your workplace is toxic, secure whatever intel you can while you search for jobs.
