There's not one, but plenty of terrible jobs.

I've been at the slaughterhouse, and it is indeed one of the most horrific experiences I had. The smell of stale blood, the heat, the constant repetition, and normalized violence. It takes a mental toll.

And working in delivery (which I also did) takes a physical one - especially when you're a walking courier, which these things are aimed to replace. Back problems, damaged feet, severe calluses, chafing, muscle pain, high risk of all sorts of traumas...the list goes on. Add to that that the rates paid often force these people to overwork way past their healthy physical limits, and you get a recipe for disaster.

Students choose it, because they need an unqualified job that can adapt to their study schedule. Gig work does that. But the rest is pure exploitation, which finds its reflection in health issues, lack of time and fulfillment, and, in case of students - a fall in academic performance.

To be fair, the delivery robots I've seen (made by Yandex, which is known for bleeding-edge developments in self-driving technology) made good job to be as unobtrusive and predictable as possible, while also avoiding humans in quite a large range.

My only issue with them is that these are camera-equipped devices rolling the streets and likely sending all that footage to their Big Tech daddies. Besides that, they do their job well, reducing the need for hard human labor.

Eliminating terrible jobs may come with new, somewhat less crushing ones.

The reality of the labor market on its lower end is that plenty of jobs are unnecessary and artificial. They are meant to generate employment while not reducing working hours or (re-)educating people to take jobs that are actually in demand. It is a simple band-aid, that is easy for the government and good for capital (as it gets both incentives from the government and a pass on building a gig economy).

The more terrible, crushing jobs we eliminate, the more the government is forced to actually do something meaningful about the labor.

Hey, it's gonna be alright

• You still will be able to sideload apps, they just add a nasty 24-hour cooldown
• In the meantime, it's worth having a migration strategy to a mobile OS that actually respects you - be it Graphene, Lineage, or Linux/Sailfish.

Google already does what it should: sideloading apps requires you to manually approve the source, and when you do, a popup appears warning user of potential dangers. No need to play daddy any more than this.

Having a locked ecosystem is very convenient and profitable for Google, but terrible for its users. Google wants this walled garden not out of safety, but to get a tight grip on the app stores - and get a solid buck while doing it.

I have something bigger:

Was quite unsettled to hear that Russian troops have entered New York

Amazing

To be completely honest, any OS change does come with some friction, and Linux is certainly no exception. Should you ever try this again. give it two weeks, and you'll learn the best practices.

Until then, good luck with your existing setup!

Dal is amazing! Love it as well

Trump is the one doing the damage, so no, I wouldn't expect him to be the savior.

Always good to have a place to escape to - but we need to regain people's power over the mainstream Internet.

This is where most people will remain, this is where you'll have to go to stay in touch, this is what influences public opinion on policies and actions. This ground cannot and should not be given up.

The most honest answer. But honestly, we need to learn to do things about it.

You two are heroes

Okay, I don't like AI much, normally, but this one is pure gold

Never expected it to roast even barely known sites with such level of detail and taste

You're either serious about it and trying to turn a friendly game meme discussion into some kind of battle, or you're trolling and doing so with 0 finesse. Keep your game a little higher.

Either way, since you love being contested, here are pre-1963 ship figures for Battleship, dated early XX century:

Hasbro hasn't been first in that, either. They are just large enough to dictate what is considered to be "official". And this is far from isolated case.

Certainly not just a house rule, I've met it everywhere.

And, as it seems from further down the thread, it seems to be the difference because large parts of the world rely on Hasbro's Battleship as the rule source, while the other seems to play by older rules (by the time Hasbro/Milton Bradley released the game, it was already almost a century old).

Others from Spain and Germany also seem to know that rule, but it was not in the official Hasbro version of the game. This is what appears to make that difference.

Indeed. I like that someone actually brought up invoking local road authority. It's unfortunate that many places don't have a decent mechanism for that, and we need it badly.
