And fortunately they made the law future proof. It doesn’t say that “hey, you should use USB-C” but it says “hey, you should use the connector mentioned in Appendix H which is defined by committee R”. That way they don’t need to start over the whole bureaucratic process the pass the law, just ask a committee to reevaluate the tech and they change the appendix. It can be USB-D from tomorrow.

I’m really surprised.

Could we please stop with this nonsense that “hey just make your own blahblah”.

Yeah, when I have literally 10 minutes between meetings to stuff something into my mouth, I’ll sure start to prep my meal. And on weekends? Fuck that too, I just want to lay on my couch doing nothing. But certainly not my meal.

They meant that they are intentionally trying NOT to help the customer, hopefully they just give up at some point. (That’s why they are redirecting to bots and not to an actual human.)

Except drugs, of course.

That was my pet peeve too. I installed it some years ago. Months went by, I’ve used it. Then I saw a new version came out. Okay, time to upgrade! Oh, dump the DB, delete everything, install the upgrade and load the DB back? (Or some similar shit.) And do it every time when there is an upgrade? Okay, uninstall it is.

God how I loved this game. I think 2 was also solid.

And of course by now every downstream system replicated AND CACHED that data.

Hey now, you also got free shopping bags!

Where are or were those checks exactly in the Lemmy software code? Yeah.

If they were on the lemmy.ml instance, it’s in their right to do so. It’s their instance. The basic codebase, which other instances are using, has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, that’s a major fuckup from Snowe.

Better Nate than lever.

If there would be no cops, everybody would just adhere to the laws, duh!

So like Word vs Notepad?

Is it FOSS though?

Yeah. This is SMS.

that was the future I wanted to believe in

As notice periods are recognized and written into law (the law says that minimum 30 days or whatever your contract says), they can sue you for lost profit. It’s basically that your contract is not up, not finished until your notice period ends, so the same enforcement applies as if you won’t show up for work some day. You are still a full-time, fully recognized employee until your notice ends.

But breaking it is not really a thing here: we are used to it, and it’s actually recognized as mutually beneficial. If they fire me, I still have 2 months of sure salary and if I resign, they have 2 months to look for a replacement.
