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.

Oh wonderful! Thank you for the suggestions!

It's what I got to use in highschool computer class, I'm a sucker for what I know.

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.

no

"anything I disagree with is government propaganda"

Brown Eyed Susan lol

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.

Gnu Image manipulation program, no? What a dumb article

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

This is literally exactly what I meant, far right folks believe that meta specifically sensors their content.

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?

My partner was on one of Shaw's 0$ per month, by the gig plans. It was easily the most competitive plan on the market at the time. Its no wonder they got shut down so fast.

Now she is being harassed by Rogers 3 calls a week to upgrade her plan. They want her off the 0$ plan so bad lol.

In other news, water is wet!

Hopefully the do something about it instead of just watching it go higher

Bad for the fed NDP? That's really not our problem, especially if we are trying to deaffiliate

This has got to have been satire right? Since the upvotes/down have been blanked, I'm going to assume it had negative ratio

I don't know where pp stands based on that statement. But this isn't letting parents raise their kids. This is letting the government decide what's best for parents.

Something something free market.

Sounds like Alberta liquor stores need to step up.

Oh of course, I feel like it goes without saying that this is in reference to young school-age children.

My personal opinion, would be that the age cut off for where a child's rights supersede the opinions of their parents would probably be 13 or 14.

As long as those values do not override those of other parents, go at it.

Parents should always have the right to remove their child from a situation they do not agree with. They should never have the right to tell other parents or teachers how to teach other children.

Good price, but has been cheaper (160) in recent times

Furthermore, Costco employees will never push you to get the executive membership, if your previous year did not have enough spending on it to at least pay back the difference.

We actually had the Costco customer service Tell us to cancel our executive membership, because we didn't earn enough over the year

Open source car? Lol. Design it as easy to aftermarket as possible. Let aftermarket companies sell full seats and ECT. Use only standard connections and hardware

As long as the price reflects that absolutely. I feel like one of the reasons cars are getting so pricy is because we are filling them with so much bloat. Ex. Heated seats, power windows, tablets. Like, what happened to a base model car?

Unfortunately you don't need to peer review a study to convince conservative voters 😔

I feel like all of these fediverse platforms are going to suffer from the same issue.

I searched up peertube and clicked on the peertube link. No where was there a "recommend videos" feed or "upload videos" or "create account" and the first link to a peertube platform is a cliche "rebellion" something or other.

These things will never see mass adoption if they aren't approachable to the casual browser. It sucks, but the average user would rather give their data to Google or watch 25sec of ads before each video then try to figure out fediverse. Especially since when you do figure it out, there isn't any good content yet.

LOL, albertans think Trudeau stopped the pipeline.

The one that got me was definitely the fruits, I didn't realize that AI was able to generate decent text yet lol

It's like saying that you're intentionally not going to get a first aid ticket, so that you don't have to help someone when they get hurt. You can just throw your hands up and walk away while yelling at all the people who do have their first aid ticket that they're doing it wrong.

And then applying for a job as an EMT.

But you do need to negotiate with Sarah Silverman, if you take that book, rearrange the chapters, and then try sell it for profit. Obviously that's extremified but it's The argument they're making.

99.98% uptime, and you get to stand by the clerk at the coffee shop for 30 minutes for your payment to process 😂

Only thing I can think of is ads during content instead of before?

Yar har I guess.

Well seeing as we're going through another one of those eras right now after COVID, I'm going to say it probably had a pretty strong direct effect

Time to get off Twitter if you already haven't.

What if I have an Xbox controller plugged in and want to use my keyboard? A simple spacebar hit sets the default controller for fit this play session.

From what I gather, the house was inspected and deemed not fit for habitation. They failed to mail the notices to the proper address. House was too get torn down either way, the guy in the story just didn't get the warnings.
