Shit out of luck

That’s corporate speak for “we didn’t want it to do that and we don’t approve”. Usually followed by a platitude about correcting it.

I’ve never really used Linux as a daily driver. Back in the same Ubuntu period as you, intrialled it but got sick of software compatibility problems. So much is cloud web based these days, that it’s less of an issue.

What surprised me as a distro hopped looking for my home laptop flavourz was how different it was to install different software, such as docker. Some distros it was a hassle to run well. Some it needed workarounds, whichh surprised me.

So, I’d look at what you plan to run, then decide between opensuse, pop, mint or fedora and how easy they support what you want to do. I dipped back into Ubuntu but they have started to make some m$ style choices where you have to take back control as they try to make your PC act like they want not how you want.

All can be made to support whatever you want but not all do our of the box.

My dad was going grey, so my brother bought him ‘just for men’ hair dye, which he opened at the Christmas dinner table with the entire family. He was about 9. We still laugh about it.

Good job on not serving her. Unfortunately in service culture where the customer is always right, there often is no blowback from customers being rude or unreasonable. There needs to be pushback, even small victories are still a win.

I think a large portion of lemmy is too focused on making lemmy popular. Fake engagement and posts that nobody cares about don’t create engagement. Instead, more focus on just enjoying lemmy would ironically lead to better posts and discussion. Likewise, people post the same articles to the same communities seeking engagement. It leads to dupilication which waters down the discussion, ironically, also leading to less engagement. I think federalised communities, as has been discussed would be a good solution. However, it strikes me that they don’t want to miss out on karma, for some reason. So, short term gain, for long term hassle of multiple posts. If some of the most prolific posters posted to the most relevant community and cross posted elsewhere, then maybe communities would coalesce more.

Lemmy is pretty international. We have right wingers here, but it’s not really representative. The USA right wingers only make up a small portion of worldwide population, so don’t stress. It’s not an echo chamber.

Surely we van look at apps that allow more informed data but without the anxiety. Like, here’s your data, this is less frequent than average. Or, here is your data, its the same as before. Or here is your data, its slightly different again, so we’ve already notifies your doctor, but usually this is nothing to be concerned about. Etc.

Lots of patients with other conditions have yo do similar, like diabetics monitoring sugar levels. Or asthmatics who can induce attacks by getting stressed about attacks.

We could build in some mindfulness exercises which help with anxiety. I’d say overall, its better.

Their idioms have implications beyond what he’s saying. He’s either changing his story or doesn’t fully understand them.nor my point.

Given the lady doth protest so much, my money would be on retrospective shanging of the story, not clarification.

Just like in this discussion, youre changing the narrative deceptively.

Now they are on the phone. They weren’t before, that stage had passed.

Sure, you are now retroactively changing your intent but it doesn’t change the meaning of your words.

You say listen to what youre saying. I did.

If you said, when they call advise of the current rate, is agree. Your version seems to be past that stage. In no world does anyone think that you would be obliged to honor the quote. So either your advice is not really advice, to do what is normal and advise them of your actual rate. Or, as appears more likely, you want to leverage the mistake using their sunken cost of time after arranging a meet, knowing in advance their expectations dont match the rate.

If everyone else gets it why is there another comment calling you a LinkedIn lunatic? Its not a term I would use, but I see their point. Your comment is one of two things: A pointless comment offering no advice as of course they would clarify. A comment to say leverage it to your advantage, using deceptive tactics.

Walk it back all you want but in context its clear to me which was the intent. Perhaps you meant no I’ll will, but it reads as exploitative. In quoting for any kind of work, but especially programming based work, there is a knowledge differential. This justifies fees, but the same knowledge differential is often used to take advantage of those with no concept of the work involved.

I am listening to what you are saying. ok, so you did imply this is not the first contact. Just using a phrase to do so. Obviously you meant something different.

Walking out the door, also a phrase. Again, one that’s situational. It means they are on site. For talking on the phone, I’d say hang up. So again, implying its not the first contact.

Look, I also think it can be correctly handled, but your whole post makes it sound like a pushy sales narrative that is deceptive. Youre not outright calling for deception but the implication is there. I’m not the only one noticing it.

Maybe your choice of words is wrong, but when someone tells you who they are, listen.

How do you get them in the door to tell them without the call? Youre advising using an error to your advantage to massage someone to be a client using a bait and switch tactic.

It may not have been thenolan, being a genuine error, but that’s your plan to take advantage of it. If they purposely gave the wrong amount, would it be bait and switch in your view?

Way to go on the straw man, though.

I’m saying they should not get to the point that they walk in the door. If they call, correct immediately.

It should be corrected, by Dad, prior to a call, rather than used as a sales funnel, which is the suggestion.

Honest mistakes happen, but using an honest mistake to purposefully continue to mislead to get them in the door and then correct them is a bait and switch.

In most industries, that’s considered a bait and switch. Decpetice conduct that can lead to fines.

If you contact them immediately, to rectify an error, then not so much.

Are you a casual? That means zero hours guaranteed. When they need you, they call and offer shifts. Similar to zero hour contracts elsewhere.

However, you get a 25% bump in pay for this arrangement. If it does not suit you, you should not have taken the role.

If the role is not casual you are entitled to be paid for the hours your contract is for if part time, or 38 hours o’er week if full time.

Check your contract. Some of the bigger retailers have an enterprise agreement instead if an award rate, so worth checking if that applies instead.

We are now launching a messaging app with android market functionality. Its available USA only and not to business suite customers. Using it will require your google account to be converted to a google-youtube account and your personal details, like your name, are now public.

This update adds user privacr features by ensuring all private data on your phone is stored on ggogles secure servers rather than on your phone.

Nonsense or not,. It can be seen as punching down when mocking a smaller religion without the wider context. That could be offensive to many people.

As an atheist, I’d agree. I assume they mean those that ate part of an active religion. Rather than historical myths, like Zeus.

Its you!
