That quote may not be true, but American’s were certainly desperate enough. Having heard how mom and dad grew up in the Depression, and young adulthood in WWII, I laugh at GenZ thinking they have it bad.

“No. You have it bad compared to your parents and grandparents. Whine to their parents and let’s see how that plays out.”

Things like that are called “jargon” and are perfectly normal and acceptable in a given field, always been that way.

If you don’t know how to pronounce, or even spell, NGINX, you probably have no use for it.

Sounds like you’re having a hard time keeping up with our ever changing technology. Win11 wasn’t much of a jump from Win10.

Had dozens of people ask me at my last job if they should punch the upgrade button. Only had one person complain they “couldn’t use it”, and he was a moron.

This is the best explanation of MAGA I’ve ever seen, still true after 8-years. Read it. It’s important.

Depending on the state, one may not have that option.

they’re hoarding billions of cash in bank

Lemmy’s understanding of wealth right there.

Illegal only as of 2024. But still, it wasn’t a widespread thing.

Cats, OTOH.

LOL, you’re vastly overestimating company’s IT abilities, funding and give-a-shit motivation. As to money, now you gotta hire people to watch people. No matter how automated, there’s a cost and additional personnel need.

And if the corporation is technically competent enough to manage all that mess, that’s probably a company with skilled workers who will leave under such conditions.

Saving this one for next time I’m on call for weekend monitoring.

People here talking about decompiling code. Maybe you meant to ask how they’re certain it’s not stolen from home base?

All our goods are hidden behind a VPN or MFA (multi-factor authentication). Unless someone does something stupid, you’re not getting in our BitBucket or AWS account.

A firewall blocks in and outbound ports. Windows Advanced Firewall already does this.

If you want more fine-grained control, look to your router. I use a Netgate pfSense rackmount appliance. You can do the same with an OpenSense or pfSense router running on a toaster.

Be glad to help if you have questions!

Because the 1999 story is the origin of this talk.

This internet myth has got to die. ONE case in ONE department, a quarter century ago, does not mean it’s a practice.

Always stunned to see Trump taking the stage while this plays, his mob screaming right along.

Edge is my daily driver and has been for a couple of years. Seems faster than Chrome, but maybe that’s just my perception.

I think these haters are hating because Microsoft. Or, they’re too ignorant to realize Edge is Chrome under the hood.

Which is sane. So anyway…

Sorry, gotta go. That’s my employer calling to verbally offer me a raise.

(Over here laughing imagining all the people suing because, “I swear he offered me a raise! Nah, for real!”)

Still, I can’t imagine a UK contract can override UK law. You couldn’t get someone to sign a contract saying they’re a slave and hold them to it. Contracts do not trump laws.

Not where I live they can’t. See my other comment. If your employer gives you money, it’s yours, period.

I see this idea a lot online. Guess either employees don’t understand their rights or the employers are equally ignorant, both VERY likely.

And no, it’s unlikely the employer knows better and is fucking around. The magic words are “labor” and “board”, who will find in favor of the employee and throw a fucking to the employer. We handled payroll for quite a few shady employers, but none of them were dumb enough to play around with the money.
