Disgusted by companies encouraging you to become entirely dependent on them for your social life, making it much more difficult to stand up for yourself, ask for a pay rise, or leave. I've seen severely underpaid people stay far longer

A potential alternative for those with AndroidTV devices is sideloading SmartTubeNext[0]. I've been using it on my nVidia Shield for a while now. No ads, a lot of UI customisation, and Sponsorblock is integrated as well. [0] https:&#x

In my experience, managers are the ones pushing developers to skip tests, bug reports, etc. Most of them are content to simply pile on new functionality, without any concept of polish, refinement, or how allocating time for technical work c

The problem with "SOME demanding scenes" is that inconsistent frametimes are much more noticeable and irritating than a lower, but consistent framerate. BOTW feels bad in certain areas because rapidly switching from 30->20 caus

Yes. Older consoles could get away with much more. There's a Dynasty Warriors style Zelda game on switch called "Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity"[0]. It struggles with the hardware to the point that the choppiness of the fra

Taxing automation could incentivise having people work jobs that could be automated. We already have a lot of pointless jobs in the charade that we continue with.

When I was a child I had the same idea. I imagined myself a rich man, living in a large mansion. I would invite the homeless to live in the mansion in exchange for their labour, providing days off and a stipend. I grew up. To exploit someon

The problem is that the law isn't proactively enforced and reporting puts you at risk of retaliation, something few people in that situation can afford. When I was younger one manager was notorious for clocking us out while we were sti

Many businesses won't pay anything other than the 23+ rate. The age based rates should be removed altogether, they're mainly there so that the owners of small businesses can creep on young girls.

I was pointing out that GP's claim of people taking these jobs out of "self-volition" is directly at odds with their supposition that we might just not have enough well paying jobs for everyone. Minimum wage/UBI has no b
