And is now illegal lol

Lmao gtfo! Lightning COULD have been a standard if Apple wasn’t so horny about stuffing their money up their walled-garden-arse. But nah you need a license to even connect to it, not to mention manufacture it. Well tough luck and good riddance to fucking Apple proprietary cables and 50.- recharging kits.

The tersorium was shared by people using public latrines. To clean the sponge, they simply washed it in a bucket with water and salt or vinegar.This became a breeding ground for bacteria, causing the spread of disease among those using the latrines such as typhoid and cholera.

Definitely a horrendous idea and not cash money at all. I’d be carrying my own water bucket. Why not wash your ass with clean water (like India)? I’m pretty sure they also had soap then and to save soap you can also use soap water. I mean it’s really not hard to have a bucket or well with soap water and use flowing water to rinse.

I believe working 2-3 days a week would actually be enough and with the right organization method would allow even crucial 24/7 positions to be manned (like nursing and care staff). Plus you’d basically never be understaffed because you’d have lots of backups.

8 hours a month sounds a bit too utopian to me.

Gaded bastard

It’s actually not bad as a currency. It’s just bad because everyone and their mother rely on mining and pyramid get-rich-quick schemes and about 99.9% of finance bros don’t have a single fucking idea how a blockchain actually works.

Not “could”, you very likely are or have been porn to somebody. Like really very likely. Chances are just that they will never tell you and you will never find out.

And why are those being built? Because the consumer population doesn’t care and continues consuming the cheapest dirtiest shit imaginable.

With rent prices in this kind of fantasy land in bigger metroploes like San Fran or NYC , I’d doubt you’d find tenants. Maybe in rural laboratories it might be an issue but not the cities. That’s just my thoughts. Might be wrong.

That’s a very interesting video. But I still have to ask WHY is it ok for an office to lack the lighting and escape routes when the same is not ok for residential areas (which was the main reason given)? It makes no sense to me. Water and sewage poses no problem because large office buildings have to account for mutiple toilets on each floor. Electricity is also a non issue (I’d argue electricity usage would vastly decrease when coverted). That just leaves shared air circulation and conditioning which also shouldn’t be an issue since it would just be maintained through the landlord (and could even be cheaper for the individual since they don’t have to pay for their own systems but just a flat fee on the rent).

They could just rent it out. Or convert it and sell. But nooo that’s too much hassle

True it’s not nkrmalised. That’s my bad. All companies I met had more than 40h a week though. And even when I worked in a government owned company it was 42.5h

Nope, lunch is not included and unpaid (unless specified in contract, but virtually no one pays for lunch). Effectively ypu’re at work for 9.5 -10 hours.

I really got a severe case of the Baader-Meinhof-complex. Like a month ago I heard of the demon core for the first time. And now it seems like I see it referenced everywhere. Atleast 10 times randomly in the past month.

I mean Zuck is not batshit crazy like the Musketeer. Not like he won’t sell you out but atleast his platforms are stable. Apparently that’s enough for people.

Can’t they read sensor data and infer certain conditions from that? For example if you have a limp or something?

What the hell is Bluesky?

Still more progressive than Switzerland to this day. They have normalized 42.5h workweek. You need to work 8.5 hours to be considered a fulltime employee.

I mean that’s a good thing no?

Centralisation will always set in due to sheer complacency. I mean it has already happened. The main player in the reddit-like fediverse is lemmy.world
No other instance comes close to the size of lemmy.world
I also disagree with Metas method of tracking and monetising every last bit of data (I’m trying to get rid of their platforms myself) but to expect the fediverse to be a balanced mixture of access points is just daydreaming.
