Does lemmy have useless red circle sub yet?

If the product works too well they can't sell you other stuff! 🥲

You are getting down voted because you said the dirty private word, but you are entirely right.

Id say the bigger problem might be your employer Heath insurance company can tell you no to opting out.

I've never understood how we haven't been considered employees as gig workers.

The only difference from a typical job is that you can "turn off" your job when it's convenient.

You dont get say in the jobs you take, or you don't get all the information to mislead you into taking poor jobs. Sometimes both (looking at you door dash)

Instacart sends you a t4a at the end of the year, and you are for tax purposes considered to have worked for them. But they don't have to pay into any of our various employee protections because loopholes?

They can terminate your "not employment" at any time for any reason and use this as a method to force you to do things you don't want to.

All while paying you less than minimum wage. Instacart specifically is very bad for this. They give you a "predicted shop time " which will often be in the realm of 30-40 mins + 10-20 travel time to and from the store. And the batch will be valued at less then $15m

If then acknowledge that the job will take X amount of time, the base pay needs to hit $15/h x est time.

Same goes for all gig jobs.

Simply put, I need to buy groceries.

It's not that I will have issues learning or researching, it is that I don't have the time too.

If the barrier to using Linux is needing to spend time troubleshooting and researching to do simple tasks, I just won't.

So far this thread has been very enlightening to me, I'm excited to try something new. But my OS is not my hobby.

Oh wonderful! Thank you for the suggestions!

It's what I got to use in highschool computer class, I'm a sucker for what I know.

Do we want more orphans and teen mothers stuck in abusive relationships?

The unfortunate answer to that question is yes, they do. Uneducated people vote blue, abused mothers vote what their abuser votes for out of fear. They need to feed the cycle that the church started and we are just starting to climb out of.

There is a reason that the church is anti-sex-ed, it doesn't survive without people raised in it.

Oh I wondered. I didn't have any for a few years and bought a box. Thought they looked smaller.

Brown Eyed Susan lol

I purchased a razor branded Smartwatch, way back when. Thing could barely connect to my phone, it's battery life was atrocious when it did, and all it did was show the time and track steps. It didn't have any built-in notifications so you had to use a separate app. This was fairly early in smart watches though, it was pretty fad-esque.

As someone who runs a Windows phone launcher to this day, I think you're wrong 😂 had they actually pursued them, and supported them better. I think we'd still have Windows phones today, The app store was truly the killer.
