If they want to link pay to attendance then they should also compensate the employee for the time he/she takes to get to and from the work place.

The far right caucus is a lot like hostage takers who threaten to kill one hostage every hour until their demands are met.

For lazy guys like myself, who has Rosemary in the garden, I'd probably buy the Rosemary syrup made by Bacanha.

From George Takai today on Mastodon:
We’ll see this “irrefutable proof” that Trump won the 2020 election around the same time as his tax returns. He now says that instead of releasing the YUGE report Monday, he’ll produce it at trial. Which he wants to start in April of 2026. Who else sees the con?
We'll just have to wait two and half years.

In the end of the article, the author plugged their competing platform so this isn't a neutral opinion. I still agree with it. A federation of online retailers would be an interesting idea. Given that it involves exchanging money for products, it would be a lot more completed than kbin, lemmy, or Mastodon.

Brick and mortar store do it too. Pharmacies sell name brand drugs and their own generic version next to them. I buy the generic version. I would like to lose that option. Amazon is a different story.

I don't think Trump's lawyers have anything to worry about. If Trump had anything to prove his innocence, he would have brought it out a long time ago. He may even say he has all this great evidence, but now his lawyers won't let him produce it so you'll just have to trust him.

Could it be Parfait Amour? The Bols version I have is deep blue.
Sam Altman, OpenAI’s chief executive, has started Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project that aims to scan billions of human irises. In a lemmy thread a few weeks ago I discussed having a unique identify on the internet. Almost everyone was against it. It looks like Sam didn't get the message. The article may be behind a paywall if you've been reading the NYT lately.
On the Magazines tab you can filter by subscriptions. It then shows all the posts to the subscribed magazines. Is it possible just to see the name of the Magazine to which I'm subscribed? I know you can see the subscription status on the unfiltered initial page. Given there are currently 105 pages, I'd have to page through all of them to find my subscriptions.
I read an [article](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/27/technology/elon-musk-x-everything-app.html) in the New York Times about Elon Musk wanting to make X, formally known as Twitter, into an everything app. The article also mentions other attempts. Would that be the last thing we would want? I can see why Elon would want it: total domination of the app market and massive profits. While a user might find it convenient, it would be a total lock in to one app that would make it difficult to move to other apps. If the app went under, a likelihood for X under Elon's control, the user becomes completely disconnected. The app would also be the dream target of hackers trying to steal all you data. It's not that hard to use multiple apps. I'm sure most of us have dozens of them. I have high security on my financial apps and not so much on my social apps. I don't want to do two step verification to get back into kbin every time I get logged out. Specialize apps for specific purposes makes a lot more sense to me.

For a rough estimate, double the Celsius temp and add 32 to get Fahrenheit. Subtract 32 and divide by 2 to go from Fahrenheit to Celsius. If you want an accurate conversion multiply by 9/5 instead of 2.

Decades ago, the Russians developed a tertiary computer using -5, 0, and 5 volts. It went no where probably because it wasn't much of an improvement over a binary computer.
How does the People tab work? Are all members automatically people or are there steps to becoming one? Just curious, I'm sure I actually want to be a person. I asked once before before I knew the difference between a post and a thread and was wondering why I never saw my post in the Magazine.

I was a lurker on Reddit unless I had a question in a technical forum. Here, I post on lemmy/kbin because the communities are smaller and welcoming.

I like this quote from the link article:
A poster on one subreddit dedicated to saving the third-party apps broke it down succinctly: “Never forget how Reddit began as an empty website, which its founders populated with hundreds of fake accounts to give the illusion of activity and popularity—Remember that without us, the users, Reddit would be nothing but [Hoffman’s] digital dollhouse.”
At least kbin and lemmy sites are populated by hundreds of fake accounts. And with us on those sites, they won't be doll houses.

I agree with your point in general. If your protests get you banned/removed and thus eliminate your ability to protest then another tact may be more appropriate.
