If your on .world there are a ton of hexbear comments in this thread you aren't seeing. You are only seeing half the conversation going on in here right now.

Starship troopers has a line in it that the crusades were created by population pressure (primarily young men being denied a good chance at a future).

Blahj had the same issue a few days ago and had to literally make a second thread that hexbear admins barred their users from so that they could have an internal discussion. Despite how upset that instance was hexbears just can not help but invade this discussion too.

Thanks, I'll definitely look into it!

Thanks, I appreciate the tip. Lemmy's tech barrier is a bit of a stretch for me but most people here have been really helpful!

Since lemm.ee seems insistent on staying federated with Hexbear, can anyone recommend a working instance (.world keeps crashing on me) that's defederated them?

I'm not tech savvy enough to know how to check whose defederated them and personally I find that their low-effort high-spam trolling in every thread they see to be off putting enough that I've been going back to Reddit because it feels less toxic. I liked the culture at Lemmy before Hexbear showed up and if possible I'd like to get that back. Thanks in advance!

Some places with things like snap elections also have limits on campaign lengths and how much money can be used in an election.

They also need to get more creative with who they are hiring and what "benefits" they are offfering. A split schedule like that sucks for someone looking for anything more than part time work. If they can come up with benefits that attract say, stay at home parents looking to make some extra money, that particular split in the schedule may not be so bad for them. But they would also likely need other non-traditional side benefits that full time workers in other jobs might not, like the ability to bring younger children (not yet in school) to work with them on their route. A benefit like that might bring in more drivers and not even cost the company anything but too many places are stuck in a traditional workplace mindset.

Don't lay offs make sense though if people are being more productive at home? The tech market is contracting so they won't be looking to take on new projects so much as cutting unnecessary overhead (and labor is usually the largest tech company expense), which they only have because the increase in productivity isn't being offset by new work (projects) coming in?

I hated working from home, it's not for me. As soon as I could I went back to the office and I've turned down jobs that require too much WFH.

However, I do work with a lot of WFH people. My only "complaint" about their "productivity" is to please, for the love of God, have them working the same timezone hours as the area they are servicing if their job is time sensetive. If I need to get ahold of someone anytime something goes wrong with a hauler cause you're the only one with access to the system then don't have your work day be hours off from typical trucking hours in my location! Looking at you logistics...

There are also a lot of kits that include most of what you'll need (especially for cross stitch). It can be a really convenient way to start and most kits come with really good instructions on how to cross stitch too.

It looks like this subscription may be for their "smart" printers. So the subscription would be for the connection to phone service. Why you'd need a smart printer is beyond me but they apparently think there is a market for it.
