Apropos of nothing, one observation I’ve heard people who used to be involved in labour negotiations here in Iceland is “people with American brain worms don’t know how to negotiate with unions”

(Paraphrasing, since the original is always in Icelandic.)

This is noticable in that you can guess with reasonable certainty, which company is run by an executive trained in the US just by how badly they are handling union contract negotiations

cypnk,

@baldur @simeon Part of it is education, but most is powerful brainwashing. What I mean is, most people in positions of power in the U.S. business world, either directly or indirectly, will denigrate or question collective bargaining and worker rights in general

Business schools in particular place emphasis on connections and those tend to be with other business leaders with a similar mindset. To maintain those connections, you end up assimilating some of the same thoughts and mannerisms

cypnk,

@simeon @baldur I left after I got the skills I needed. Didn't stick around to get the MBA because I knew it wouldn't make me happier

Extracting a day's work for free is not an "interview"

If your whole industry is like this, maybe consider starting a potato farm instead

" is failing" so hard that just crossed 4mln monthly active accounts (based on the-federation.info). :blobcatgiggle:

This is already slightly more than Nov and Dec waves' peaks. And it is still going up.

What I find particularly important is that it seems like a lot of this is not new accounts, but people returning to accounts created before and then left unused.

I expect this to be a more resilient kind of growth. Less of a drop after it peaks.

cypnk,

@rysiek I did notice a lot of the recent interactions are with people who first made their accounts around 2017-18. Some are about that old initially, but then discovered other instances that were a better fit and decided to move

Wondering what would happen to my @cypnk account if they keep up with the plan to federate with FB

It's a bad move on any level

cypnk,

@thegibson I see myself just not using it anymore if it comes to that. It's a shame

Polina Kulagina's design of a car suspension is actually a component breakdown that can be physically constructed

The segment is modular such that each wheel can have its own power. This could make for a swappable module in the field

One of the biggest misconceptions about older computers seem to be that they all came in beige or yellow

They did not

Old systems were mostly gray and white (because corporate). The UV light from solar exposure gave them the eBay special treatment

cypnk,

@flexion Ah, yes. There wasn't a single room it seemed that didn't have a haze
