One of my grandmother’s, who survived wounded knee as a toddler, told my cousin that as long as he knows the blood they share, even if they say it’s only 1% then they are Lakota like her.

i bet your grandmothers would feel the same.

❤️🤍💛🖤

fair enough

Lakota myself. True to my heritage, I too am scattered from ones own. or as my cousin calls it a city native

Musk be a white nightmare?

its even older then that, ask anyone living on a reservation

this is true, if you have privacy categories setup and you use something that isn’t rated for someone, they won’t be able to see it. Kinda like permissions. Government and Medical environments is where I’ve seen it applied. It’s a beast to implement.

I used to be able to join teams meetings in the browser version of teams from my Linux machine. I did my last job interview this way

this reminds me of the advice for people who win the lottery

make an anonymous LLC company to accept your win, so you can stay incognito

pay a lawyer and an accountant so you can continue to stay incognito and only tell your trusted friends and family about your good fortune

so crazy assholes don’t come for you or them

I guess this now applies to making it big in crypto money

and i think I just read that Ukraine drone bombed the single factory that produces fiber optic cables

hahaha

the number of the explain the joke threads on the all page is ridiculous.

as a way to discourage IT bro’s, we always put in women in the interview and give them the choice of questions to ask, and if they get bad vibes we let them unload.

seems to be a similar tactic

CA Universal/Unified Service Desk

oh yeah the first sentence should have included that the country that the agreement is in, recognizes it and binds both parties to it. So its a 3 party agreement in a sense, with the 3rd party being the courts of the country with laws recognizing the agreement.

The CBA will have a part in it about about strikes. I have been in a few unions that agreed in the CBA that we would not walk out strike, but we would do things like everyone wearing the same shirt or during lunch hour, gathering in the street in front of the workplace. It has a good optic and imo most of the time, the people directly in charge of you don’t want to make waves with the union. its a good balance of power that is beneficial to everyone

The collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is where the power is, its a legally binding agreement between the Union and the Employer. The unions have lawyers that have crafted the language and there is a lot of back and forth until its agreed upon and then its binding for both parties.

When you get a union job, the position is represented by the union and the employer has agreed to the CBA. So as the union employee, if I feel that I am be asked to do something outside of my job description, I can request the union to audit the work which puts management under the microscope and well they don’t usually like that so they will create a cold war and force policy adherence to the letter. In the end everyone is usually more clear about what is acceptable and what is not.

But the real power is that if its not in your job description, you can really say no and they cant do anything about it. The “other duties and responsibilities” should never be more then 8 hours in 2 weeks. If it does, it needs to be included as part of your job description. And the union has a death grip on that description with the CBA.

I hate that I recognize the software behind the screenshot of his termination ticket.

Its situations like this, that make me happy to have made the choice to exit the private sector and deal with the bureaucracy and almost equally maddening public sector issues. But at least the public sector is dealing with people and not blind policy making workflows that are impossible to interrupt.

People can be frustrating but at least you can get something done with people.

my tech department recently unionized, its great

one of the best things about it is enforcing the “other duties as required” and setting a hard limit on what that means, management has to accept it and they hate that shit

you thank your car?

whatever floats your boat but I think we both know you are just being contrarian now

Anthropomorphic Fallacy

https://psychology.tips/anthropomorphic-fallacy/

why are you arguing that at me? I just argued that its not a human, AI is a tool and should be treated as such. If my tool sucks, I will tell it so and quit using it. If my tool is great, I will use it to the best of my ability and respect its functionality.

everyone else here is making scarecrow arguments because I just don’t think it needs to be anthropomorphized. The link speaks about “tens of millions of dollars” wasted on computing please and thank you

that is fucking stupid behavior

but dont anthropomorphize your tools. And it’s odd when someone does.
