UAW loses Alabama union vote seen as bellwether for organizing autoworkers in the South ( www.nbcnews.com )

Republican officials led a vigorous campaign opposing the organizing effort. In the run-up to Friday's vote, six Southern governors, all Republicans, led by Alabama's Kay Ivey, warned about “special interests looking to come into our state and threaten our jobs and the values we live by.”...

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

Why is there even a union vote? What is stopping some workers from banding together in a club, increasing their leveraging power as more choose to join?

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

Really? I think it’s supposed to be silent, not a schwa. Did you mean “tuh-nl”?

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

By that logic, should not there be a schwa after the L too? That ('tǝnǝlǝ) would be absurd.

They could actually be liveable if you removed the driveway and yard, and added a frequent bus service on every other street, as well as a tram line/subway stop in the neighborhood, and a market square with mixed zoning. It could be more thermally efficient, too, with the houses touching. Or just build blocks of flats at this point, they are cheap, dense and not as uncomfortable as shotgun homes. However, I am sure that US regulations would never allow that.

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

I suppose a shed in the woods is not impossible but a lot of factors need to be just right or it gets way too expensive and/or uncomfortable. In Europe, most forests are publicly accessible and there are various tiny settlements but I suppose that’s not the case in many American states.

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

Pretty sure most don’t have a market square with mixed zoning and trams that get them into the dense city centre in 10 minutes every 5 minutes.

They take up space that could be used to expand the house to liveable dimensions. And the lots are 6 m wide, enough for on-street parking.

ChaoticNeutralCzech , (edited )

Well, the houses could be shorter (square), which is a more practical shape, and have the cost benefit of only two outside walls, with the rest of the plot being a backyard. And the houses could now include a garage with a liveable space above. Its advantages as opposed to a driveway are obvious: the car is protected from weather and crime, and owners of small or no cars can repurpose the extra space for DIY or other purposes. Also, a backyard, as opposed to a front yard, incentivizes non-lawn use, so the street appears less green from the front but actually benefits biodiversity. Backyards also feel more private, especially with tall fences.

So yeah, I can get behind a 2-floor house with the footprint 55 m² (or 600 ft², don’t be afraid of superscripts) with green space, as long as half of it is not a concrete driveway and I can do some gardening (or even grow “private plants”).

3.2 miles

That’s 5 km! Such a (relatively) dense development should be the first housing next to the park, second only to amenities and public transit access to the public space.

It’s so tiny yet they expect you to own 3 TVs. Is this a Freedom^TM^ thing I’m too European to understand?

Is your expression intentionally imitating Konqi’s? Pretty spot on.

One of these 6 beauties will become the wallpaper for Plasma 6. Which one do you prefer?

There is only one (1) child in the picture. This is a reference to Mongolia being the most sparsely populated country on Earth.

In fact, in a way, the last thing I want is to tarnish the .io domain.

Lol. Too bad you’re doing just about that.

Yes, high-profile hate crimes have been committed but they are tangentially related to the domain at best. The UK is not going to consider better treatment of the Chagosian people just because they might lose a few thousand £ from domain renewals. Get this story rolling in Britain, ask MPs and candidates about the islands…

Depends on the voltage.

Most IT devices’ key components run at 3-5 V nowadays and the voltage needs to be converted down if the PoE voltage is higher. This introduces losses, especially if a linear regulator is used as opposed to a buck converter. On the other hand, one powerful PSU is slightly more efficient than a lot of smaller ones.

I don’t think there is a huge difference. If you run a lot of tiny devices (too small/cheap to use a buck converter) off a significantly higher voltage like 24 V or 48 V and/or the cabling is very long, PoE will be less efficient. If the PoE voltage matches the devices’ adapters’ voltage and the cables are reasonably short (<30 m) with few connectors, PoE may be more efficient.

The shittiest thing in the Google Play Store is searching for incompatible apps. Not only cannot you get an outdated compatible version (which is fair enough), they just don’t show up with no warning whatsoever. This encourages impersonation because way too many people just install the first result.

Maybe something changed in 2023, I’ve been only using alternatives (F-Droid + Aurora) on my phone since January.

Also, your Android version is too new, which I’ve never seen before (and didn’t know that could happen).

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

Which is why alternative apps are definitely putting the word “discord” in their metadata to get close to Discord in search results without fear of trademark infringement.

Don’t assume that. You have no idea how many unintentional wonderful isopod habitats exist on your property. Rather than building a terrarium, you can encourage them to come to your garden. !fucklawns

An Introduction To Class Warfare For The Software Engineer ( medium.com )

If you work at one of the large tech companies that, in the last few weeks [or months], have laid off thousands of employees, you may be wondering what the hell is going on. Especially if the company you’re working for is not actually struggling economically right now. If you work for Google, say, you must be thinking, “What...
