You are getting down voted because you said the dirty private word, but you are entirely right.
Id say the bigger problem might be your employer Heath insurance company can tell you no to opting out.

I've never understood how we haven't been considered employees as gig workers.
The only difference from a typical job is that you can "turn off" your job when it's convenient.
You dont get say in the jobs you take, or you don't get all the information to mislead you into taking poor jobs. Sometimes both (looking at you door dash)
Instacart sends you a t4a at the end of the year, and you are for tax purposes considered to have worked for them. But they don't have to pay into any of our various employee protections because loopholes?
They can terminate your "not employment" at any time for any reason and use this as a method to force you to do things you don't want to.
All while paying you less than minimum wage. Instacart specifically is very bad for this. They give you a "predicted shop time " which will often be in the realm of 30-40 mins + 10-20 travel time to and from the store. And the batch will be valued at less then $15m
If then acknowledge that the job will take X amount of time, the base pay needs to hit $15/h x est time.
Same goes for all gig jobs.

Simply put, I need to buy groceries.
It's not that I will have issues learning or researching, it is that I don't have the time too.
If the barrier to using Linux is needing to spend time troubleshooting and researching to do simple tasks, I just won't.
So far this thread has been very enlightening to me, I'm excited to try something new. But my OS is not my hobby.

It's what I got to use in highschool computer class, I'm a sucker for what I know.
So I'm building a new computer before the end of the year and lemmy is obviously pushing me towards Linux. I am not computer savvy, I have a family member that will help me set up my PC, but I do not want to be calling/messaging them every day when I want to open a program. Basically my question comes down to: can I operate a Linux PC these days without needing to troubleshoot or type code. I use my computer about once a week for a few hours I would say, so any time spent troubleshooting is time wasted. Thanks! EDIT: since a lot of people are asking what programs I typically use, I'll just list my most used programs. Word, Excel, ect(I'm fine with alternatives) Spotify Gimp (would have been a make or break, so I'm glad it's supported) Brave browser (browser is a browser) Steam Discord I would say that while I could figure out how the kernels work, I'm at a point with computers these days where I don't have the time. My priorities fall with a seamless daily experience. If I have the time to figure something out I can, but ideally my day to day usage being unbotherd is what I'm after. A lot of the comments so far have been helpful! I'm definitely going to give Linux a fair shot with my new build, probably start with Mint.

Unfortunately, I have to side with the city on this one. They have policies, they warned the family so they could have come and got it. I feel they at least could've delivered the memorial to the family if they wanted

Do we want more orphans and teen mothers stuck in abusive relationships?
The unfortunate answer to that question is yes, they do. Uneducated people vote blue, abused mothers vote what their abuser votes for out of fear. They need to feed the cycle that the church started and we are just starting to climb out of.
There is a reason that the church is anti-sex-ed, it doesn't survive without people raised in it.

Am I interpreting this graphic wrong? Will a change in vote method lower our options?
While we have "2 superpowers" here in Canada, at least we have 7 represented parties, the other methods have less overall representation?

Oh I wondered. I didn't have any for a few years and bought a box. Thought they looked smaller.

I purchased a razor branded Smartwatch, way back when. Thing could barely connect to my phone, it's battery life was atrocious when it did, and all it did was show the time and track steps. It didn't have any built-in notifications so you had to use a separate app. This was fairly early in smart watches though, it was pretty fad-esque.

As someone who runs a Windows phone launcher to this day, I think you're wrong 😂 had they actually pursued them, and supported them better. I think we'd still have Windows phones today, The app store was truly the killer.

If I had to guess, it's because they can pretty quickly fill up the "local" tab. Some people are pretty anti AI.

What's funny is that both sides of the political spectrum are going to think this is targeting them. When in reality it's more than likely only going to be used to squash misinformation.

Wow, so not only is this a direct attack on renewables, but non renewables that fall under the same situation are too be reviewed case by case?

They might not be the most consistent, but I'm learning a lot! Recipe will come with the final total product photo tomorrow!
Starting my 3rd double recipe of Country Loaf for the weekend, goal is 4-5 or 16-20 loaves!
It's gonna be a busy production weekend for me. Putting that starter on double duty! Aiming for 8 loafs a day for the weekend, starting with an overnight retardation.
Recipe: ``` High quality bread flour: 375g Garlic powder: 5g Italian Seasoning: 5g Water: 225g Oil: 40g Poolish: 200g (it's what I had on hand, I'm would normally have only used 100g) Active Dry Yeast: 5g Salt: 15g 1. Mix water with poolish and Oil 2. Mix salt in wet and combine with dry 3. Knead till a ball forms (skin will tear easily) 4. Rest in warm environment for 30 mins. 5. Knead into smooth ball, rest for 30 mins 6. Flour (or semolina) rolling surface and expand to two, 10 inch rounds. See tips after recipe 7. Build your pizzas and bake at 425 for 20ish mins ``` Pizza shaping tips! -wet dough is harder to handle, but way easier to shape. -equal parts semolina and flour is an awesome dust for your bench. -tossing your pizza in the air is a great method to expand a soft and supple dough. It’s also real fun. -let your dough balls rest for 15-20 mins before expanding. -place your dough ball on the dusted bench and press from the inside out. Try to avoid breaking the skin! -always rotate the dough while expanding it. Envision a circular rope around the outside of the crust that you are trying to stretch but not break. If you do this right you will be able to actually feel the gluten strands forming a circle around your dough.
Recipe: ``` 3 ripe bananas 1/3 melted butter 1 cup white sugar 1 egg Vanilla 1-1/2 cups A.P flour or cake and pastry 1 tsp baking soda Salt 1. Preheat oven to 350° f 2. Mash bananas and add wet. 3. Add dry, mix until just combined with no flour lumps. If using c+p flour sift first. 4. Transfer into parchment lines or well seasoned loaf pan. 5.Bake for 1h-1:30h depending on your oven. Start checking after an hour. 6.let cool in pan! ```
Cured Egg yolks by separating and submerging in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, white sugar and red chilli flakes. 24-48 hours in the mix before use!
Tartine Country Loaf: 90% AP flour 10% ww flour 75% water 20% poolish 2% salt Cornstarch to dust/prevent sticking. Baked in a dutch oven at 450 for 40 mins, removing the lid after 20 mins.
In honor of my switch to Lemmy, I think I'm finally gonna name this starter. Meet Lemmy! 180g AP flour 180g water 40g discard.
I know patron takes a slice of the pie, but I don’t know the details on Liberapay or OpenCollective. Presumably crypto would have the least potential for fees, but I would rather pledge fiat.
