I get the sentiment. But to me personally, “redundancy” is pretty clear and doesn’t mask the pain that comes with being let go. There’s also generally a difference between being “fired” and being “made redundant”. Redundancy suggests that their job doesn’t need to be done anymore b/c of a restructure, bankruptcy, merger, and the company needs to meet certain obligations for that redundancy not to be considered an “unfair dismissal”.

I feel like we’re maybe getting confused about terminology here? “Redundancy” is a specific term for a specific form of dismissal. It’s not a euphemism for “firing” because firing someone is a different kind of dismissal. Terms like rightsizing, reset, re-allocating resources, trimming the fat – these are certainly euphemisms for redundancy that should be called out.

Sure is a videogame

I’d love to, but none of my friends use it unfortunately

Sorry, but that’s a pretty arrogant thing to say

Don’t tell the furries

Well, Cities: Skylines 2 is here, and it's another broken game release.

I don’t really understand how people make the review threads, but we’re sitting at a 77 on OpenCritic right now. Many were worried about game performance after the recommended specs were released, but it looks like it’s even worse than we expected. It sounds like the game is mostly a solid release except for the...

I dunno – I’m sympathetic to the DLC argument, but bad performance isn’t something I can forgive on launch day. I’m sure they’ll patch it in time, but if I buy a full-priced game, I expect it to run decently well. Anything less makes for a poor user experience. If a publisher truly cares about user experience then they won’t release a game in that state, or if they do, they’ll make it 100% clear on the storefront that the game has performance issues.

Racism and lack of bipartisan support were likely huge factors as other commenters said. There was also division between Indigenous people regarding the efficacy of the Voice to Parliament. Some saw it as a great step forward, others saw it as toothless or symbolic, others still believed it would delegitimise their sovereignty over the land. The Opposition latched onto this for their own gains I believe. Together with Fair Australia (conservative lobbying group) they dealed in fear, misinformation and distrust. They absolutely dominated over social media and took control of the narrative very quickly. This became a lot easier for them due to the cost of living crisis. Take a White Australian in the outer suburbs or rural areas, tell them to care about this thing they don’t understand instead of their rising mortgage payments and cost of groceries, when the Opposition is feeding into their latent ignorance and distrust of First Nations people that all Australians have, and you’ve lost them already.

Drivers Co-op is doing a kickstarter to expand their Uber alternative thats owned by the drivers. (www.kickstarter.com)

I remember seeing this app a couple months ago and being excited about a team finally doing this. They’ve been available in New York City for a while and now they’re trying to raise money to expand to more places. Hopefully they open source the app\server in the future since it would be great to have more co-op apps for the...

How come?

phonyphanty ,

Haha, how are those quotes relevant? This just reads like nonsense to me

phonyphanty ,

Right, I see what you mean, so there’d be a power imbalance there. From my perspective, if drivers buddy-buddied with each other to that degree, customers would just flock back to Uber and the business would tank pretty fast. It would be more beneficial for the drivers to treat their customers well.

phonyphanty ,

How come? :)

phonyphanty ,

What do you mean by that?

phonyphanty ,

Aw man, that’s kinda mean. But I sort of get where you’re coming from. A company owns exclusive rights to the .sucks TLD, so I guess in a way they’re profiting off of hatred. I just don’t really think it’s that big of a deal. Like, if I’m angry at something I’m not gonna buy a domain for it… Especially since these are so expensive. Barely anyone buys domains. Seems like it’s more tailored to marketing campaigns than anything.

It’s a term for a third gender used by some Native Americans :)

Curious about this, what makes it computationally expensive?

phonyphanty ,

That just makes it harder to read :( I think the original sentence is grammatically fine.

phonyphanty ,

What do you mean by the new way?

phonyphanty ,

Wow, that’s fucked up
