Is “concrete steps” another “drinking game”?

Id be more motivated if i could see a doctor.

Ubermeisters ,

you should see an optometrist about that

EndOfLine , in Huntington Beach City Council approves banning mask and vaccine mandates

universal mask and COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the city

So municipal mask and super flu vaccines are still okay?

What’s great about this headline is how timeless it is.

Inventa , in Huntington Beach City Council approves banning mask and vaccine mandates

This happened shortly after 4 council members were disqualified from an ‘idiot contest’ as professionals weren’t allowed

    “Publicly funded” doesn’t mean “publicly owned.” Plenty of states give grants and tax incentives to film productions to entice them to work there. That’s tax dollars going into a copyrighted work.

    And being of a public figure has absolutely no bearing on copyright. If it did, paparazzi wouldn’t exist, because they wouldn’t be able to effectively sell their photos.

    Nioxic ,

    Wouldnt the government have the rights then?

    ryathal ,

    For photos the copyright belongs to the photographer. If this was a federal employee (it wasn’t) , then there’s no copyright. If it’s a state employee then it’s possible it could be copyright or you could argue that the ban on copyright for government works is incorporated to states as well. There’s also the technicality that if it’s a contractor then there’s copyright no matter what.

    iegod ,

    Copyright of a photo doesn’t belong with the subject. The photographer owns it.

    bradorsomething , in Peter Navarro convicted of contempt of Congress for defying Jan. 6 committee subpoena

    If he called no witnesses, I wonder of this is where secret Trump pardons begin appearing. It would certainly explain everyone’s eagerness to demand they be tried in Federal Courts.

    Wrench ,

    You mean in case Trump wins back the presidency? Because you can’t do future pardons. The chance to pardon has passed, and that fuck isn’t getting the presidency again

    xantoxis , in Grindr loses nearly half its staff to strict return-to-work rule

    So I’m confused, are the remaining employees still going to unionize? That would be a sweet kick in the teeth.

    nobodyspecial ,
    @nobodyspecial@kbin.social avatar

    Being in the same location at the same time certainly seems like it'd make organizing and meeting with union reps easier. And with more motivation to do so due to crappier working conditions. I'd say it's more likely the remainder will unionize, yeah. And then have the union push for WFH.

    Naatan , in Walmart cuts starting hourly pay for some workers

    “Consistent starting pay results in consistent staffing and better customer service while also creating new opportunities for associates to gain new skills from experience across the store and lay the groundwork for their career regardless of where they start,”

    Ok miss PR person. Please explain your rationale cause that shit makes no sense.

    GregoryTheGreat ,

    I worked somewhere that was killing off their QA department and in a company wide meeting explained it by saying “when you go to a store a pick up a part, you expect it to have gone through QA” Lots of head scratching that day. They still don’t QA their products. They just ship them and let the customers complain if something is wrong.

    Pistcow , (edited )

    Reminds me when we had three companies merging at the same time and the bosses brought everyone in to tell the grunts and sales people that no one will be losing jobs. I ask, “You know when you move in with someone and you have to get rid of a set of dishes. Do you think you need three sets of dishes?” Yeah, so there were tons of lay offs.

    GregoryTheGreat ,

    Why even lie about it. Anyone smart enough to be worth something at the company is also smart enough to know better. You’ll lose everyone you can’t afford to lose.

    ShunkW ,

    I work in software dev. My old job laid off our entire QA team at once and presented it as an opportunity to learn doing testing as a developer.

    GregoryTheGreat ,

    Bugs are cheaper to just deal with as they pop up….until they aren’t.

    thisisawayoflife ,

    I’ve seen this happen too. It’s sort of a double edged sword - devs need to take testing seriously and have coverage metrics. However, this doesn’t negate the need for QA particularly in software that has a human experience associated with it. Writing code and having it work correctly doesn’t mean that the user experience itself will be correct. For whatever reason, executives don’t understand this and software gets shipped with more bugs than ever because there’s little to no QA.

    ShunkW ,

    Yeah. We wrote unit tests and integration tests, but we needed ui tests, which none of us were strong in at the time. One bug I remember fondly, it was possible to abuse debounce basically to submit bad info by switching an input after hitting submit. This happened more than you would expect. Took us forever to figure it out till we were able to get a UI tester from another team to figure it out. The human element is super useful in testing

    ShunkW ,

    Not for my old app that had to be audited 6 times a year lol. Any data defect had to be explained in a one page summary. Now imagine you regularly have ~30k concurrent users. The wrong bug means tons of paperwork that brings us all out of development mode to write and support.

    @ares35@kbin.social avatar

    twice the work, half the pay per job. woohoo!

    ShunkW ,

    Exactly. So glad I left there.

    ares35 ,
    @ares35@kbin.social avatar

    probably went something like this: someone at a low paying store complained about the store 4 miles down the road paying more. so they're addressing that 'issue'.

    FuglyDuck , in Willis asks court to protect jurors after doxing in Trump's Georgia case
    @FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

    I’ve an idea.

    how about they, you know… charge trump with witness tampering, and slap some rico charges on the idiots who doxxed them, too. (also provide protection because his followers are zealots who will do anything for the Orange Turd)

    Jimbabwe ,

    The article said the doxxy info was being hosted on a Russian website that doesn’t cooperate with takedown requests. So, that’s the answer to your second suggestion. As for the first, I hope they do. At this point it’s all or nothing for him, so he’s got nothing to lose by racking up more charges. If even one of the ~95 charges against him sticks, he’ll be in prison for the rest of his saggy ass days.

    Gonna be quite the pact, with beer, alleged rape, getting swole with they boys, and everything goes on calendars that’ll be around forever for some reason.

    passwordistaco ,

    Don’t forget about the boofing. There’s gonna be soooo much boofing. The US is gonna get so boofed that we won’t even know what to do.

    We’re all gonna be like ,”Noooo! Stop with all the boofing, Brett! You boofed us so much!”

    drdabbles ,
    @drdabbles@lemmy.world avatar

    I almost forgot about the boofing. And as we all know, that’s the most important part!

    OMG, we’re finally seeing some consequences (assuming the sentencing isn’t a slap on the wrist). It’s been so frustrating.
