Tbh I get 5 weeks AL a year (although only after 5years) so I’m really complaining about not much. I can take leave over summer like everyone else, but only every third year or so as there has to be somebody working

The work has to be done whether it’s officially on the books or not.

I would consider it if I had the skills, but I don’t

Oh for sure. It was more the 2-3 weeks off at summer that I was envious of. Although I know lots of people still have to work as well, so I can’t complain too much.

Cries in working in health care

I guess there’s more than one reason all pc parts are rising at a ridiculous rate

For sure. And everyone has a different line in the sand.

I’m not trying to say one option is good or bad, because there are merits in both arguments. It’s easy to say you’d do this or that when you’re spectating. But it’s much harder when you’re actually doing it.

And for me personally, I think they made the right call. But I’m just a guy sitting at home (who doesn’t even live in the states) so who am I to judge them?

You’re not wrong.

But I’ve also seen people saying that the government is fascist /Nazi. If you’re working for the government (especially somewhere like the DOJ) then that’s akin to saying you support the government.

So it’s a hard decision to make either way

That’s the point. The article is about brands of phone, ie Samsung, one plus, LG. Apple is a brand of phone as well as an operating system

The article is about brands rather than os

The books aren’t finished, with no indication of when it will be, when the next book will be or even if it will be finished before Martin dies so take note of that before you start.

In saying that, the books are way better than the HBO series. And are worth the read IMO.

This, as someone who had read the books before the HBO series was a thing

Or just have that done for you by what you whatever pastor /preacher/priest you subscribe to. I doubt that there’s actually much choosing going on

Thanks for sharing. That’s cool

Empire of AI by Karen Hao

A deep dive into AI history and current events. Very interesting and somewhat terrifying.

As a caveat, I’m not an AI advocate, and in fact, the more I read (listen) the more horrifying what is happening and has happened already I find it.

I’m using Voyager, so not sure if that is the problem? As I too, just see user names

I mean there’s no direct threat, but if all those places are targeted, or even enough of them, it won’t matter because we’re all fucked anyway. Which is the point

Not sure if this is something you’re looking for, but I’ve seen this mentioned elsewhere

You do a great job <3

Came here to mention this. Owl of the year is the best thing on Lemmy!

I can definitely see them. Outside the states and on a VPN.

Horrifying to read…
