This just happened to me. I purchased shoes and they shipped via Amazon even though I didn't buy them there.

I think that's part of what people don't understand. Amazon isn't a website that sells stuff, they are a dozen infrastructure based industries.

Shut down their website and they still have the logistics to fulfill for the sites you shop on and their servers are probably hosting them too.

Goes to show, he should have made a run for it and hit a bunch of people with his car. Then he'd get a reduced sentence.

If they only spent this time and money on training the managers to...well, manage their employees.

Stop thinking "time at your desk" is a kpi and start measuring results instead. It cuts the crap employees that are worthless and that in and of itself is a reward to good employees and team morale.

I would rather have a productive employee get results in 4 hours and then leave than a crap employee who needs the full day to get the same job done. Then the good employee will learn to streamline it so they can get the job done in 3 hours and I win because my efficiency went up. They win because they get another hour of their life back daily...or dare I say, they want more work and I give it to them along with a pay increase.

Technically, there was at least 1 free seat since the woman wasn't using it anymore.

But that begs the question, assuming the entire plane was full then the lady was sitting next to at least one other person. They moved her from that seat to be in next to the couple in question. So it seems to me there is no situation where it's not extremely messed up.

Just a slight positive spin on this. I mean, I get it. Just like all of you I read this headline and say, no shit.

But its good these articles are out there. Its not for you and me. It's for the average person who doesn't think about this and is blissfully unaware.

Yeah, I can argue they should care and all that, but that's pointless. This is a sign that the average person is becoming more aware, and the status quo can change.

We all have those friends and family that we wish would...just do things differently. Maybe they will now, or soon.

Just think, wouldn't it be great if your "arguments" with your family are over messaging each other over SimpleX instead of Signal?

It's OK, they changed the headline to say "slurping" instead. Clearly much better.

Me neither. Glad to see it. Of course they still require it for multiplayer games like Helldiver's, which is what set this whole thing off in the first place.

Yeah...this is absurd beyond belief. The problem is the average consumer out there will not see how this is an issue.

Here's a perspective you might not have thought of. Younger person is already shamed for even buying condoms (the cashier will see them after all) so they steal the condoms instead of buying them. Store owners are sick of losing money so they naturally lock them up. So yes, it does have something to do with crime.

I'm not here to argue about what you think store owners care about your sex life, I'm just pointing out that there is a valid reason you haven't considered.

Looking forward to seeing more. I will reserve judgement until there is some meat on the bone.

But who I kidding, I've watched so many bad shows even if this is garbage I'll still enjoy it because it's alien.

 

I'm looking for a guitar tuner app that is FOSS/private in nature.

I saw one called tunerly, but figured I'd check here if there are any recommendations.

 

Hi, new to GrapheneOS and have a basic question.

I set up my phone and users with a pin, then added fingerprints for faster log in.

When I switch users, I am prompted with the pin. If I swipe down to lock the screen, I then can log in with fingerprint. Can't I set it up to go straight to fingerprint?
