It would make sense for Chrome not to include JPEG XL in the first place with some list of explicit reasons. It does not make sense to implement it, hide behind a flag, and then remove, claiming there is not enough interest -- when there&

How is it legal to demand people work on weekends? How is it legal to (even threaten) firing if a new assigned task that takes a long time is not done on time?

We need 4DWW - Four Day Work Week to give us our time back! I have hobbies and enjoy them, but it's hard to find time around a full-time job, life obligations, and hedonism. Having 1 extra day per week would do wonders for my life-wo

All the efficiencies and productivity gains we've seen in the last 30 years have not resulted in increasing wages, but instead resulted in higher incomes of the executives and owners. Perhaps more importantly, the 4DWW isn't a pie

Have you heard about 4DWW - Four Day Work Week? This is arguably the biggest and most-needed improvement in labor / worker rights in at least a few decades. I can't wait until it is implemented across the whole world. England, Por
