‘lemmy cook this’

Community ideas???

I think the reason that they're cracking down on this is to avoid potential overtime payments

... But what on earth does that have to do with what the person NOT working does with their day? If all they care about is overtime, then the question would be "will either person switching shifts get overtime or violate labor laws like minimum shift separations due to the switch?"

The fact that they explicitly base decisions not on the shift taker - who is more likely to receive overtime pay - but the shift giver and what they are doing OUTSIDE of work says the decision has as little to do with work as whatever you'd miss a shift for.

Literally every shift place I've worked has had pretty much the same rules - if you find someone to cover without making it everyone else's problem and there's no overtime or labor violations, who gives a f***? Crazy enough, they determined that by 1. Looking at the work schedule and 2. Checking for potential overtime work, and not by asking for a copy of my non-work-related itinerary.

I am at the beginning of the same journey I think - a big part of why I never learned to touch type was how uncomfortable standard keyboards are. It always felt like trying to get my body to do something really stressful and unnatural, no matter how much I practiced, and I would get a lot of pain when typing.

I'm going whole hog on learning once my new board gets in - fully ergonomic split, column staggered, tenting, most likely Colemak DH, and we'll see if we can make this ish work!

Bed sheet suspenders. Dumb problem, stupidly cheap, horribly made, and ABSOLUTELY fixed the friggin sheets being yanked off the corner of the bed twice a night by my tumble-dry-medium sleeper of a spouse.

When they finally broke after almost 2 years I sewed some that'll last 10 years and I don't regret them at all.

Why not both? I like twice the content.

There are entire INSTANCES for that, my friend, with varying rules, themes, and content focuses.

The No Name ice cream wafers are also the best around, and the cheapest to boot!

We were actually surprised that not only were they just as good at like ⅓ the price, they were WAY better.

You can get a giant pack of them for literally the price of a checkout line candy bar.

It was my understanding that defederation was a one way thing? So if instance A defederates instance B, A will not see anything from B but B could still see things from A?

Honestly, yeah - to me it feels like Reddit, but better at Reddit's core values.

Anonymity -> flexible screen names, usernames per instance, no karma, privacy focused community

Community -> smaller, focused instances coming together like broader subreddits with their own rules and ethos

Diversity -> decentralized federated content has the potential to be even more broad

Discussion focus -> sort by active rocks

No incentive for enshittification or vector for monolithic control/collapse it's decentralized, and even if one server goes full monetized no one else has to, you can move instances without losing access to the broader ecosystem.

I also feel like there will be less (but not zero) incentive for bots/repost accounts, "karma farming", trolling, and astroturfing generally with the simple removal of that damn karma system.

So I'm here to stay and I'm bugging my partner to join also - their main hobby already has an instance of it's own, and I feel like they could really shake things up over there!

Love the idea that his secretary/assistant was just babysitting him and stopping him from doing monumentally stupid (corporately speaking) stuff without thinking.

Another Sync afficionado here - their "We officially don't do Reddit anymore, look out for us on Lemmy!" banner July 1st is how I got here!

Ok that's actually hilarious.
