And then you are effectively discriminating against the employee that did not / wanted not / could not have a leave. How is that solving anything? This is the typical Protestant/German absurdity, trying to reduce every interp

Vacations have a completely different context from weekend breaks. It's one thing to have an organization planning around a down time once in the year than a constant weekly reset of schedules, employee requests, etc.

Could you imagine how that would play out in case we started applying this logic everywhere, and we completely lost the concept of "the weekend"? - "I know that this is your day off, but everyone will be requested to come to

"Right before left" is totally a thing in Brazil as well, and IMO quite sensible if you treat it as conflict resolution method: if you are crossing or merging onto a "faster" road you yield, if you are on the faster road

Yeah, thanks for going all https://xkcd.com/610 now. You want to think you are so much better than those poor village idiots, so all you can do is take advantage of them. Enjoy your TV.

Fair enough. You are absolutely right. People do not "want" Lemmy or Funkwhale. They want to communicate, get in touch with friends, listen to some music, find someone to hook up with, share pictures of their kids with their famil

Everything sucks where the hardware is a loss leader and just good enough to perform its function and the software is developed as a trojan horse for the actual revenue generating business. Soundbars, "smart" speakers, printers...
